One scary thought however is: once automation has progressed this far and there are enough mostly autonomous humanoid and/or military robots, what power does the suddenly jobless general population have against those who own and operat

Funny how often I've read this exact comment today.

Sorry, but I still don't see it - the text editor analogy is stretched far too thin. If I share a project file, I want the other user to see all this stuff. If I don't want them to see all this stuff, I send them an export. It

I genuinely can't empathize with this objection. To me it's basically the same as arguing against Undo/Redo in a text editor because someone could come along and press Undo on my keyboard after I've deleted sensitive dat

From a developer perspective you're obviously correct, but from a user perspective it doesn't make sense that the tool discards information, especially when competing tools don't do that. Of course as a developer that makes i

So yes, you're talking about the target of 2% by 2025. Why are you saying that the countries didn't comply with the target, when they did? If the US wanted the 2% target to be met before then, you should have negotiated an earlier

Which agreement are you referring to? The commonly cited 2% agreement that I'm aware of was for 2025 - which all members reached. When was Europe ever non-compliant?

I keep trying the "native" solutions every so often, but every time I quickly hit some snag that makes me question why I'm not just using the solution that actually works. As an example, I just generated a new project using c

I take Grokipedia very seriously as a threat to society. Sure, they're happy if people read it and fall for - but the primary goal is not to convince humans, but to influence search results of current models & to poison the trainin

Yet somehow we don't need a similar reminder for the possibility of fossil fuel power plants running out of fuel after a short time if not regularly restocked. Why is it worth bringing up one, but not the other?

Where do you get the idea that those circumstances are "very rare"? Workers are being asked to break rules and do unethical things all the time, and you're pretty much guaranteed to pay a personal cost if you refuse. Meanwhil

"Rank and file" employees choosing to prioritize morality very, very frequently pay real costs for doing so - with a much larger personal impact than executives feel.

The point I'm arguing against is that a 2d crowd of people and a 3d flock of birds are anywhere near comparable. They aren't, they have fundamentally different mechanics, problems, behaviors etc. You're comparing apples to el

by Timon3 7mo ago
If we just go by what we've seen it's all irrelevant, since I've never seen a flock of birds with anywhere near a comparable 3d density to a dangerously dense 2d crowd. Even the densest flocks still have visible gaps between

The presence of the ground is very important because it's a solid body you can get crushed against! The fear of falling down and getting trampled is a major source of panic in bad crowd conditions. That alone makes a big difference. Th

I'm not a mathematician, but I've seen many examples of systems where changes to the number of dimensions cause completely different behavior. This feels like such a system to me. There's also an additional big difference: on

by Timon3 7mo ago
I don't think the situations are remotely comparable due to the additional spatial dimension available to birds (and fish). When you have a person on each side, and they get pressed into you with enough force, you have no chance - of

Or minimize and maximize buttons, which are BY FAR one of the most "basic" features desktop users expect?

I would be very annoyed if every screenshot I took was saved. I often take dozens of screenshots per day, and I save one maybe once a month. That means my screenshots folder only has meaningful entries. If everything was saved, I'd hav

I don't want to misinterpret you, and your point about very expensive hardware surely has merit... But what makes it a "sick regulation" for you to "be liable for his work and his health"? That seems like the absolu

That's a very simplistic take because it assumes full transparency for all consumers - all while advertising, one of the biggest industries in our society, explicitly allows companies to turn the money they make from consumer-hostile

There are several fundamental issues with your approach. First: unless the average lifetime of a "dead game" is below two months, your focus on games from last year will exclude most dead games. To give an analogy - you're tr

by Timon3 8mo ago
Why would it be acceptable for a single one to do this? And why do you think that games released last year are a good yardstick when we're talking about games being shut down at the end of their lifetime?
329.
by Timon3 8mo ago
But this is an additional and much less effective layer of copy protection compared to the actual copy protection. The game wouldn't be meaningfully easier to pirate without it. IMO this means it isn't a form of copy protection.

Sure, they could. But will they, especially if Musk uses leverage to prevent them from filtering them out? Unless all big AI providers do this, the people around us will start to get poisoned by Musks thoughts. They haven't done it so
