Thank you for pointing this out. It’s a good catch. But if we’re starting to discuss basics... As firm Popperian I am definitely not a proponent of induction. However comparing us with a chicken is highly problematic to begin with. I would

Look that’s the thing: we know about mass extinction events. So we can use these to extrapolate. A 10+ kilometer wide asteroid will most likely cause global mass extinction, by blocking sunlight and collapsing ecosystems. That’s how the din

Single individuals yes, but last time I checked we still had 8+ bn humans and growing on this planet. Unless you have another couple of planets to showcase there is nothing to discuss really.

It’s absurd and not scientific to claim that "a salvo of nukes" will kill humanity. We don’t know how this will play out. It never happened before. Same with the chicken above.

I think it’s funny how this can be framed: Self-driving cars facilitate the offshoring of local jobs.

I love that you brought this up. Chickens are killed ALL the time. It’s a recurring mass event. If you were a smart chicken you could see that pattern and put it into a formula. In contrast, the end of Humanity would be a singular event. It

"The end of humanity" has been proclaimed many times over. Humanity won't end. It will change like it always has. We get rid of some problems, and we get a bunch of new problems instead. And on, and on, and on.

You’re making many assumptions which fit your worldview. I can assure you that insurers don’t work like that. If underwriting was as sloppy as you think it is insurance as a business model wouldn’t work.

Actually… I think this be solved by AI answers. I don’t look up commands on random websites, instead I ask an LLM for that kind of stuff. At the very least, check your commands with an LLMs.

Maybe they wanted to say "down to" instead of "by"?

I definitely recommend to watch this video with Reinhold Niebuhr. Sure some things deteriorate, but many things improve. Talking about a net decline (or net gain) is very difficult. Every age has its own set of problems that need to be solv

You absolutely should. Start small and see if you like it then expand. You don’t want to be 80 and saying: I should have at least tried!

Especially confusing when there’s the word model up there as well

It’s probably a vicious cycle I’d say.

Funny you bring up the clay analogy. It was discussed here just 2 days ago intensively. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46881543

Is there any reason not to assume that the article was created by an LLM?

Anyone know how she come up with the word or why she chose it?

I agree! Although the proponents of this idea argue that companies will create and (!) maintain many tools in-house. It’s not so much about running a business, since you don’t sell anything and only have internal customers.

For big corporations at least prices of SaaS are rarely an issue. Issues are: we don’t have the time to introduce a new tool, what about our processes, we don’t have the right people.

This vibe-coding-will-replace-SaaS insanity is the new crypto-will-replace-fiat-money insanity.

Yes. Mind you that like most things in life, it's a spectrum.

I don’t think that matters. It’s a sign of commitment to something they’ve invested in as OPs says.

So you’re saying having a head start due to geography is all that matters? If power differences can be explained by better access to resource and it’s only about head starts, China should have stayed the leading power.

Yes agreed. But competition for what? I'd say for the good of the majority of the people. In other systems only those on top profit (maybe 10-20% max) even if they claim otherwise. Thus democracy, through competition, aligns the leader
