I also hate I absurd this argument is, we already have a GI, it's you, it's me, it's the exponentially growing humanity that we all live around and contribute to every single day. Why are we so scared of an artificial brain w

Freedom for titanic companies like Google to control what can or can't be said through enforcement on their monopolistic platforms is also not freedom for the individual. Your idea here works when the system is fragmented enough that t

I understand the joke, but it's really bad choice of title. California also probably runs one of the largest most efficient welfare programs in a literal sense, and if I hadn't seen these comments that's what I would have ass

TikTok is social media. Microsoft, apple, amazon, and so on are critical infrastructure. They go away, the lights go out.

As they say - do onto others. American companies today don't need the protection. They are better companies. With China now using state imbalances to fund their tech sector, restrictions will be needed. You can't compete with free

TikTok already teeters on the brink of regulation and isn't a Microsoft or a Amazon that has real weight.

One thing I think needs to be looked at a little bit more deeply is that the AI is not stopping where it is today, it's going to get better and if it targets the lowest part of the market now, what's it going to do in 10 years?

No way. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, they all have very good businesses with very concrete productivity bonuses and real world advantages that they give to people, you can't make those things disappear. They also don't have good fore

I bricked my Linux system while trying to uninstall python, on one of the most "user friendly" systems, and they had no way to restore like Windows does with system restore. I'm still using it because Windows requires account

The moment you're manually typing a username it's game over. It should be rare to never that you need a specific user id, let alone a specific server. You should just have to see a user and click follow.

I am fairly confident that the rate increases we've seen over the last couple of months are going to be permanent, and we're going to keep seeing inflation for quite a long time. Now I can't prove this for sure, we will see i

Oh absolutely, but at that point you're judging more the qualities of Elon's ability to lead a company then the consequences of having too many or too few people to run a big website like Twitter.

This isn't a too great demonstration of "you only need" because there will be a lot of brain drain issues with this company, worry and drama internally resulting in bad productivity.

The only way for labor to come out on top is if productivity increases. With war, population shrinking, disruption around the world, I expect productivity (in total) to be somewhat stagnant. Which means the top dogs will be forced to make l

What is going on? Low unemployment. High inflation. High interest rates. These are the hallmarks of an industrialization. Labor is needed to be more productive. Business wants capital to do it. Lack of labor and productivity results in s

I do not think this is factually wrong. You can't pull single statistics to tell the whole story and you're probably going to be wrong if you try it. For example, a surplus can appear in the form of the average citizen holding US
