Consciousness is an interesting topic because if someone pretends to have a compelling theory on what's actually going on there they're actually mistaken or lying. The best theories are completely inconsistent with the scientific

I'm sorry but this answer is very abnormal for most people so it's not a great application of philosophy.

No, the philosophy is for the human, not the concept.

Unfortunately there's no current or proposed medical treatment for the inevitability of death and degradation on that path, so the only real treatment is philosophical. At least in Western society, if any of you have experienced this s

I had AI do a collation of news events and the general conclusion was > Civilian shootings at drones occur at a rate likely below 15 incidents per year in the U.S., compared to over one million registered drones. I'm going to have t

The word "frequently" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting here.

by catigula 1y ago
I highly doubt people are shooting at drones. Shooting at any aircraft is incredibly illegal & dangerous. I'd assume people have better self-preservation instincts than that.

When I want to spend a dollar or two, it's much faster to just instruct Claude on how to write my code and prompt/correct it than to write it myself. It feels probably similarly from going from dumb or semi-dumb text editor to an

I love these little anecdotes because they always pre-suppose that everyone - the writer, of course, but also the reader - themselves are the people who don't lack judgment, which is a role they relegate to, perhaps, a particularly inc

The funny thing is that you're not wrong and this is yet another feather in the cap of "foreign labor are literal scabs" argument.

I don't really think that is what's being discussed here. Even literal Nazis were exempted from immigration controls on the basis of extreme merit.

My understanding is that Bernie Sanders used to say that mass immigration was a "Koch brothers thing" and his tune on this has since changed to align with "progressive" ideas, but I might be mistaken. I already know that

The company having access to the global labor force is the problem we're explicitly discussing. This isn't seen as something desirable by US workers.

Putting aside economic incentives, which the wealthy were eager to reap, the vast majority of the technical labor force in this country came and still comes from (outside of SF) a specific race and we have huge incentives that literally eve

I want to use you as a bit of a sounding board, so don't take this as negative feedback. The problem is that the left, which was historically pro-labor, abdicated this position for racial reasons, and the right was always about maximiz

It's also not correct to view people as atomized individuals. People band together on shared culture and oftentimes ethnicity.

Just to note interpersonally I find pretty much any group to be great on average but being a participant of US labor and sympathetic to other US laborers this is clearly not something I can support.

I agree, I was actually leaving the question open-ended because I can't necessarily scale it all the way up, it's too complex. Why would they even rent me AIs when they can just be every company? Who is "they"? All that

Off-shoring is pretty big right now but what shocks me is that when I walk around my company campus I see obscene amounts of people visibly and culturally from, mostly, India and China. The idea that literally massive amounts of this workfo

This doesn't even make sense. What corporations do you think will exist in this world? You're not going to sell me your SaaS when I can rent AIs to make faster cheaper IP that I actually own to my exact specifications.

The idea that the first amendment disallows vetting of non-citizens is unfortunately not tenable and this is the argument that they're using.

The problem with this idea is that the current systems have gone from being completely incapable of taking the developer role in this equation to somewhat capable of taking the developer role (i.e. newer agents). At this clip it isn't

It's too trite for me, too much effort to construct for little pay-off. I feel like it was rewarded for "cleverness" in this regard but it's cleverness perceived by RLHFers.

Serfdom, possibly WALL-E but that's an optimistic scenario. WALL-E people actually live a somewhat dignified existence compared to other possibilities.

I understand your intentions but I'm skeptical even this solves the problem. Realistically I think we're just moving away from knowledge-work and efforts to resuscitate it are just varying levels of triage for a bleeding limb. In
