The CEO of my company is the same person. Narcissism blinders on, "you can develop an entire application in minutes, we can fire our whole staff". Doesn't realize that if this was true he'd be fired as well. The entrepre

Sure, but you still have no idea what consciousness is.

I don't think their experience of consciousness would be very analogous to what you and I understand.

Unfortunately you've undermined your point by making sweeping claims about something that is the literal hardest known problem in philosophy (consciousness). I'm not actually comfortable saying that LLMs aren't conscious. I t

What you're describing doesn't sound like something that requires a lot of foreign laborers.

Yep. ChatGPT was hugely irresponsible in many ways and rests solely on the shoulders of Sam Altman, someone allegedly implicated in various schemes.

I'm not interested in partisan political discussions. I don't agree that Trump or anyone else can, or is even attempting to address core problems, and also think falling for that premise is silly.

I think I probably disagree. Fundamentally the question to me becomes "what is the meaning of life" and I don't actually think the answer is even "to be extremely comfortable". This is my core disagreement with tech

No, not really. 1. The data going back 70 years, which is 50 years more than 20, show that suicide has sharply risen. 2. The integrity of data much older than that is substantially in question.

Putting aside my concerns about the integrity of the data, the clearly "correct" reference point is the one it takes to falsify the parent comment's claim: that this extremely brief period of gizmos, gadgets, economic plenty

I respect your thoughts here because I think they come from a good place and that you want to help people. I just don't know how to express to you how philosophically naive I think the kind of utilitarian assertion you've made is.

by catigula 1y ago
I'm not sure what point you think is being made but your own chart shows suicide exploding during the exact timeline we're discussing. It's probably not causative, as that would be quite silly, but economic plenty for extreme

I think you trying to transmute this to polemic weakens the points you've attempted to make. Obviously we disagree but the point I feel most compelled to push back against is your assertion that "living in the modern US is paradis

I'm just confused as to why the US population needed to grow by almost 100 million since I was born without any sort of infrastructure undertaking to sustain that massive immigration. My local community is terrifically swollen with peo

I mean that seems like a tip to help fraudsters?

That is quite the allegation.

My perception is that the site is horrifically partisan and punishing for average users. The key is to not mistake your social circle with "normal".

That is interesting given that reddit has gone from a cultural powerhouse to something most people talk about shamefully, if at all.

by catigula 1y ago
Interesting because that post was comparing the cost directly to a developer salary.

by catigula 1y ago
Do any of these companies actually sell their products as developer replacements?

I mean there's an article in Fortune magazine about the people pushing transformer "research" building doomsday bunkers. Making Google look like the mature person in the room is a tall order but it seems to have been filled.

I mean, I feel like autism is a terrible example here, it's not just some quirky personality trait, it's a reality people live with that runs the gamut from difficult to completely debilitating. Even the more mild forms of autism

It's hard to stake out a defensible position on bold claims like these because, if they were as presented, it's hard to see how you haven't simply completed runaway AI. Philosophically, let's say you talk an old LLM thro

I think my overall take on that is I don't actually have this strong desire to preserve people's freedom to be unsafe on public roads. Perhaps, if it were truly a personal decision, I'd be more charitable.

by catigula 1y ago
Yes, I only see downsides. It's mostly because the actual stated and actualized goal of real AI is clearly bad. It's like if you approached me and said "I'm going to erase meaning from your life. You will want for nothin

What's the "reward"? I want to interrogate AI optimist type people because even if AI is completely safe and harmless I literally see only downsides. Is your perception that living in theorized extreme comfort correlates to &

I just want to outline my overarching concern off the bat with similar sentiments I see expressed exactly in this vein by people: there's a very strong potential for serious cognitive biases, and, frankly, simple flawed logic, to be op

I understand, but that's partially caused by compliance software being problematic. Now with tightening federal regulations and lawsuits for faulty ADAS manufacturers are tightening the belt. Investment must be substantial for the 2029

Car software is so thankless and opaque. Look at the market landscape: literally nobody knows that Toyota produces the #1 system for automated driver safety aids (ADAS) and it isn't close - their current generation of vision/radar

People definitely have disposable income. They can, and are willing, to go into even non-trivial amounts of debt if you're good enough. The goal is extracting your portion of it via social engineering and other mechanisms available to
