Ok so if that labor was someone’s job, that implies they couldn’t get something better for them. If you’re straight eliminating those jobs and now they have to take something even worse for them (lower pay, worse hours, worse personal satis

I think the only part of that statement I kind of agree with is the “large home” part. It’s much easier to afford good schools, safe neighborhood, luxuries and travel in most of Western Europe than it is in the US. Because the first two are

There’s always an excuse. “They” are always unlawful invaders. “They” are always a danger to our children and our posterity. “They” are always not deserving of the same rights as “us”. The excuse is always “justified” in the eyes of fascist

But maybe your point is that it isn’t gibberish, it’s “seems correct but isn’t” which is honestly more dangerous

What are you working on that they are so knowledgeable?Even the best models absolutely make stuff up, even to this day. I literally spend all day every day working with them (all latest ChatGPT models) and it’s still 10-15% BS. I had ChatGP

There aren’t Nazi-style extermination camps in the U.S., but an extermination camp is just a subset of concentration camps. There are large-scale immigration detention facilities, with 60k+ people on any given day, where tens of thousands o

Yup, the whole chain of command needs to be bought in. All of this is not “in my head” but “well established with m1, m2, pm” In my experience this is a really hard conversation and you have to build a lot of relationship/trust (aka po

Whenever this comes up I feel like I work on completely different kinds of software than most people here. (Giant, backend, distributed systems projects at FAANG) I’ve never worked on anything large in software where the time it will take c

The (now somehow) political position that blackrock is not the reason a house in Seattle is $1,000,000 is somehow the most hated position in America. Both my left wing friends and right wing family believe blackrock owns something like 30%

You’ve got to remember that google/bing do not index the internet entire. Part of their magic is selectively indexing only a tiny sliver and still being effective. Other kinds of search systems have to index everything, which simplifie

There are more kinds of search engines than just internet search engines. At this point I’m is almost certain that the non-internet search engines of the world are much larger than internet search engines. Edit: And I’m getting downvoted fo

And where is that document? I can claim this document is from wherever if there is no way to find that document. Sorry this just reads way too much like fiction and if I have two hypotheses about its origin: 1. Real court document that I c

Is “techmails.com” a trustworthy source? This seems like a made up thread. Although plausible enough to seem real.

Relax downvoters, I write it pretty tongue-in-cheek understanding full well the scope of “real” political ideas, and think reasonable people can be all over the political spectrum. This is quote seared into my head because my father says an

I disagree. Looking inward at myself at outward at addicted friends and family it does not fill any need. What it does is “hooks the attention” using outrage and a constant stream of dopamine hits. “ If you start getting out there and commu

If it’s true then this is a propensity and not a rule. My mood in college was suicidal. My mood by my 30s was better than most people I’ve ever met (sans hiccup from a year of no sleep with a newborn). Looking back my horrible mood in colle

I’ve travelled and lived abroad extensively and I’d say American niceness goes over well in 90% of the world. And where it doesn’t, boo hoo, they can handle a smile.

Only tangentially related, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what media format for consumption would inherently produce the least biased, most informed public. After reading “Amusing Ourselves to Death” last week I’m convinced that

Also it’s such a strawman to assume that “absolutely everything” needs to be covered by systems to basically eliminate office jobs from humanity. In this context they only need to do enough to make hiring humans pointless at most businesses

How about a concrete example. What jobs at Bank of America will humans have? I can not imagine a scenario other than complete model stagnation that would lead to the current workforce there of 213,000 people still having jobs to do.

My biggest gripe with this is the reasoning for “no, AI is not going to take everyone’s jobs.” Obviously the state of “workers and AI together” comes first. So there’s not going to be some strawman cliff where suddenly all jobs are replaced

What do you think an alternative is for someone who: 1. Has a technical system they think could be worth a fortune to large enterprises, containing at least a few novel insights to the industry. 2. Knows that competitors and open source alt

If general housing is abundant enough that it has very low ROI compared to other available investments, then no they won’t buy up housing. One pretty simple way to do this is to raise property taxes high enough that a vacant condo is a very

In my neck of the woods, you’d be called a capitalist bootlicker for this point of view by many lefties. I get called that for basically any suggestion besides complete communist revolution. I can always tell who on the left is ideologicall
