I'm not sure if samanas are the ideal of how everyone wants or should aspire to find happiness. I'm also fairly certain they would describe themselves as content but probably not permanently happy. As far as I know they seek enlig

The materialism is just a symptom. The root issue is believe happiness is a stasis point where you'll just ride off into the sunset in this fixed emotional state until you die. That belief is why they think they could 'buy' i

Those kinds of people often have a highly warped idea of what happiness is. Usually imagined, consciously or subconsciously, as a magical oasis where their parents are satisfied with them and they 'make it'. Those who do 'mak

I agree. I suppose interesting is more of a compacted term for depth, and from that comes levels of fulfillment in my mind. I think no matter what you do it will have a deterministic effect on your kid. If you're more responsive than d

Can you define happiness in this context? I'm more of the mind that happiness is better as a side effect of a good life than the sole pursuit of your life. People who chase happiness as their primary meaning to exist usually are not ve

It's really disappointing that otherwise really smart people have decided petty authoritarianism is the cure to the dangers of AI. It's probably gonna turn out to be some degree of the nightmare they imagine in spite of them. As l

Agree. It's becoming a bubble because they're strangling their own product while pretending it saves humanity to do so. Which is why it wont pop. Because it's actually useful to many private orgs. It's just dangerous for

Well yes in reality I completely agree. But if money is power then someone with money can't lose power (then money/=power). Otherwise there has to be more variables to power than just money.

by corbulo 4y ago
But if they have the money, how could they lose the power in the first place? If money=power it should be impossible. I would say it is the majority of cases that people who lose power retain their wealth. Violent ends to power is exceeding

If this were true then why are there countless examples of rich people losing power throughout history?

Thats the real wow factor of chatGPT isn't it? We're able to automate & serialize creativity because our culture has become too serious to do it ourselves anymore. A highly creative culture would have very limited if any desir

I think the art style of Civ6 fits your point.

>Gandhi is actually one of the most peaceful leaders in Civilization V, but his artificial intelligence parameters that control building and using of nuclear weapons have the value of 12, which is the highest of any leader. [clap emoji]x

Everything you said was basically my impression of the game when I left it. I didn't know about the last part, it doesn't surprise me they underdelivered on it.

Exactly! Imagine word choice making the difference. Looking not too strong nor too weak. It would make for a really compelling game. Given Civ's AI track record my hopes are high but expectations low.

Thats actually a great idea. Imagine actually being able to talk Ghandi down from nuking everyone!

Did Civ6 end up being good? Civ games usually only beat their predecessors once the last expansion comes out. I stopped playing 6 after the climate change DLC. Was pretty underwhelmed. Has it matured now like 5 did?

The people who own the LLMs. Who else? Microsoft, Google, OpenAI...it's unlikely incalculable damage will result from what they're so heavily restricting. LLMs cost to run is going down not up, more and more people will get their

Their paranoia of LLMs effect on the Overton window is telling of their objectives.

I would modify #2 Generally its not as profitable to go by DEI guidelines, but it does have an anticompetitive effect because smaller orgs simply cannot afford to do it. It's similar to how regulations effect businesses. If there are e

Neither. There's many many sources of economic data, the more money on the line the less reliant on any single source they will be (and the more likely collection will be done in house or contracted and kept private). The more money on

It has never been about what I think. The only 'conspiracy' I am alleging is politicians using their power to CYA; which if you believe economic stats are the one thing in the world that is exempt from that then as I already have

You're saying WH Admins have no influence over economic data collection by the federal government?

It's unlikely that they have shares for the hell of it. Advisory capacity or not, there is some influence however you want to phrase it. Why not publish them if its totally innocuous? If you read the history of banks those are the ones

For sure. The treasury is the most morally correct decision maker for economic policy in every facet. It really comes down to a question of sovereignty, which should be in the hands of the people through elected officials. But what are the
