Have they done a study on how being fake in the office all day and having to tolerate other people's narcissism affects one's mental health too?

There no feasible escalation path for the US. Trump has alienated allies and much of his anti war supporters. A forever war quagmire in a country 3x larger than Iraq is unlikely, as is carpet bombing. So what's left? A JCPOA style agre

That's veto power, what other kind of control do they need?

If Israel can have them, yes. Ideally, neither Israel nor Iran would have them.

Not true, but I am skeptical that a one sided account would be adequate. Take care.

Your strongest example should be good enough. So far you've got 1) flights between Venezuela and Iran 2) whitehouse.gov. Even if Trump's Whitehouse was a good source and you took it at face value, most of the items in that list ar

Unsanctioned flights between Iran and a third country is tantamount to waging a war on the US in your view?

So? Flying is a chore. What do you expect to find with FTL travel anyway? We pretty much know what's out there and it doesn't look all that interesting. It's a lot of rocks. Maybe there are some weird life forms that would be

Had Iran done anything to the US as heinous as this one "mistake" in the last 50 years that compares? Imagine if some country did this to us and just brushed it off as a mistake.

No, because when you grow up life becomes short and full of mundane things like making money and raising children, and you realize those were all fantasies someone made up and sold to you, and even if those things came true it would not sud

That's just what the owners tend to say after the dog has ripped some child apart. It's the "I didn't know it was loaded" defense.

They're smartphones on wheels, the only people who love them are tech fetishists and bureaucrats forcing emissions mandates on everyone else.

There is slop and there is cringe, you've managed to create both.

Carmack can be enthusiastic about AI because it's no threat to him, he's already set. He's not going to be laid off, and if he is, he can just do coding as a hobby for the rest of his life. He doesn't need to worry about

Why wouldn't it be, you think the body was made to run all day? Most animals lay around all day with some bursts of activity. The exercise fad is just a peculiar neuroticism modern Westerners have.

This is heinous.

Well if you tell people your auto complete algorithm is actually a potentially sentient AI and it goes on to auto complete someone's suicidal science fiction fantasy, what did you expect. Everyone calling these things "AI" is

It's a common sense definition that covers the broad features of AI as most people would have imagined it before LLMs came along. If you have a better one I'm open to it. Also, agents are just LLMs with harnessing. Attaching a plo

by albatross79 7mo ago
There's rational discussion and then there's motivated obfuscation. If your definition of AI is so loose that it applies to a system that can't count objects reliabily, then what is there to discuss? Is a broken clock intelli

by albatross79 7mo ago
There's nothing vague about it. Intelligence is understanding. I think you're just motivated to be confused because you want to fit this thing into that box and it doesn't really fit. So maybe output is an that matters, are w

by albatross79 7mo ago
The heart of the matter is a system that produces correct output in a wide variety of scenarios, including ones outside our scope of experience or understanding. That would be a one definition of AI. LLMs are not that, and I don't unde

by albatross79 7mo ago
I think his claim basically boils down to "if you're expecting AI, LLMs don't cut it". And I think he's basically right on that count. There's a lot of tooling and harnessing being put in place to course correc

Sounds about right, boosters are always vaguely claiming he's been obviously and ridiculously wrong, but when you actually listen to him he's tracked very well with the state of AI. GPT 5 was supposed to be AGI remember?

Investors and share holders want to hear that you're an "AI" company now. That implies some kind of transformation so a ritual needs to be performed. Transformations and rituals are right up "jack"'s alley, so

How can it have lost 80% of its valuation when Elon Musk bought it for $44 billion and then sold it to Elon Musk at a valuation of $45 billion, and then that entity was bought by Elon Musk for a valuation of $250 billion? Wait a second here
