This is likely what Google has been doing, as it suites them best to have small fast models rather than hulking slow giants. Lower intelligence but way more ability to serve. Anthropic would probably need a datacenter the size of a small co

You need to control for situations where the person on the other side is trying to kill the police. It's something like 1000 people killed by police annually, but it's childishly dishonest (or ignorant) to ignore that ~995 of thos

There is something like 50 million police-public encounters annually. Stuff like this is exceedingly rare. So while Pima PD should be held responsible, and those cops should face criminal charges, it's logically non-nonsensical for thi

I think the biggest snag with home robots will be that if it is strong enough to install your air conditioners, it's strong enough to break your ribs. So the robots will need to be weak, so even weak people can overpower it. But then

The actual problem in the US is housing costs, but most people are around social media knowledge level in this area, and just blame the first thing in front of them. Raising wages will do nothing to ease housing costs, which eat the largest

The 50-99% has twice the money of the 1%, and spends orders of magnitude more. If you want to know what is in demand, look at what nice neighborhood suburbanites are doing.

There are still human societies on Earth that still live the same way they did 2,000 years ago. Most people would not want to live that way, and therefore they need to rely on people who did/do more. The best way to rely on them is to

The problem is that when you get more for less, it kills the incentive to do more. This is a really glaring problem, and people go to really great lengths to either sweep it under the rug or hand wave it away.
