For what it's worth, maybe try to write down your thoughts on places that matter to you, when they do (kind of like a picture). Or a quick freeform poem

+1 to that I didn't take pictures I was proud of before going to protests to take pictures of people there, and trying to frame them as "badass" as possible. Now I mostly shoot animals and landscapes, but I've been doing

Sadly, events are far more complex than counting items. For example, during the Columbine shooting, many students thought there were 4 shooters (while there were only 2), because at some point one of them remove their hoodie and the other t

And it prints the description on thermal paper, and the cost of the picture is about 1.25$ - it's so close to a polaroid! It's so cool.

If anything, this is a neat art piece asking "Why do people take pictures?". I've found often that the gut feel that makes you take the shot doesn't necessarily know when you have the right composition or what the subjec

My understanding is that these machines are made to not interact with the immune system, since that could cause massive problems - I imagine they expect them to disintegrate in inert pieces that the body can treat as normal waste, like dead

But what is the treat? What is the logical step between gpt 4 and human extinction? I really don't see it - and this is supposed to show obviously that AGI is more dangerous than nuclear war?

Didn't mean to dunk - just a note on the writting of the article. I'm sure I'm not the only one who lost interest when seeing this in the first paragraph. And I'm certain that the comments on the unread book are not vita

As you mentionned, the deviced have a battery that lasts 24h. You literally have to do nothing, and it will shut off after 24h. Do you think people would plug them back in if they were working on killing us all? On another note, I wonder wh

My main thing is that I can't find a simple explanation of what the exctinction risk actually is from "agi". It's all very vague and "handwavy". How is it going to kill us all? Why do we subsidize it if it is s

The issue here is that it is uncontrollable - it spreads easily and sticks to the plastic, from my understanding. This means that the side effects of the plastic eating are very widespread. If these bacterium are dangerous to life in the oc

Just a quick tip - but I understand it's possibly not ideal. You have a lot of karma, and I've noticed that the karma counter going up feels somewhat addictive. The existence of a "persona" (it's possible you think

We're good! It's a risk assessment - nothing has been broken, but they propose that with a computer with these specs it could be done. I wouldn't worry too much about encryption being easily broken soon.

I'd love for codes to make a comeback - breaking games and testing their limits seems like it was half the fun of playing older games. I'm also reminded of skulls in Halo as well - hiding something out of bounds in every level for

Blindsight, by Peter Watts (free to read), is a very interesting read if that's your cup of tea (give it until they reach Big Ben). The book explore how counciousness can present itself. I don't want to spoil it - give it a read!
