A friend of mine was beaten over the head with a metal pipe in an inner city area of DC and nearly died. Another was beaten up in a German city, kicked in the head, and has permanent brain damage. Both were hearing. Another was robbed at gu

1. Hearing isn't critical to survival in our modern world, at least in the West 2. What you mean to say is denying people the ability to regain their sense of hearing, and the medical interventions you're alluding to don't do

They have obstacles to overcome, but those obstacles are mostly imposed on them by the wider culture, as I've come to understand it. Having spent 4 years learning ASL and being close friends with a lot of deaf people now, I'm star

Why would I have a less silly model than these specific climate scientists? Because I'm saying that its shortcomings make it more hurtful than helpful? A moviegoer criticizing a documentary doesn't need to have made a better docum

Sounds about as accurate as the doomsday clock. Also we're outside of the safe operating region of "land-system change?" Every one of the 9 somewhat arbitrary metrics they chose are bound in complicated, non-linear arrangemen

That would be the worst timeline. This shakeup has me 1% hopeful OpenAI will actually return to being a non-profit in spirit, not just name.

OpenAI shouldn't even be making a profit, as it's a 501(c)3 charity. The whole umbrella for-profit corp they formed when they became popular should be illegal, and is clearly immoral.
