But why organize and risk getting a few of us fired when we can just wait and do nothing comfortably?

You can offer standalone exes without installers.

It’s true. The best approach is to stand alone against the fire and try to put it out yourself. Maybe the fire will be nice to you if you beg.

“Global prosperity” is a good one. How is global prosperity achieved? Business owners get all the profits of our labor and maybe some of it trickles down? Workers get “prosperous” on crumbs? I’ll be expectantly awaiting for my prosperity in

I don't think that's what the page talks about. There are lots of _valid_ opportunities in our day-to-day lives where we'd benefit _so much_ from doing the research, struggle with a problem or reach out to someone ourselves i

And you don't think AI is going to make these things worse? Even if you only have 3 friends, talk to them, hang out, do stuff with them.

> If something in your software is intentionally malicious or damaging, it's malware. Seems to me like the library functions as it should. It behaves like a property testing library: it tests properties.

Time to start rendering junk data to all crawlers, including google.

Not sure it’s much of a choice and more of a decision the greedy half make and imposition (often violent) on the other half.

Steel has almost always (as in 99.99...% of the time) delivered to our expectations based on our understanding of it. The cases where we built something out of steel and it failed are _massively_ outnumbered by the instances where we used i

I would absolutely not call Rust a simpler Swift. Swift doesn't have and ownership/borrowing system, explicit lifetime for objects, much more expressive (and therefore complex) macro support... I get that there's a tradeoff.

Someone should just come up with some middleware that produces jumbled-up responses. Your website will still match the keywords from search engines but be toxic to ai crawlers

> Having large bureaucratic organizations Yes, that's what the paper argues. Institutions at every scale (say, doctor's clinics, hospitals, entire healthcare systems) are very challenging to access compared to me asking ChatGPT

I think the paper is really good and makes loads of valid points... and it's kinda terrifying. Having super accessible machines that can make anything up and aren't held accountable run the world is going to break so many systems

The questions seem more focused around social media but I wish there were more safeguards to stop us (I’m talking as an EU citizen) from crashing and burning when the AI bubble pops.

Lmao you can’t be serious. This is something that can only be said if you can’t/won’t quantify social cost. Deregulated gambling has had a horrible impact on individuals. Repealing Glass—Steagall led to a global financial crisis. Gig e

Looks great! Kinda wish Python had a syntax that allowed for more “declarative-looking” code

This feels so obvious and simple how is this not already a standard thing everywhere? Is it because the mantissa and point position don't both fit into a single register?

What is this "Ubuntu" and how can I use it? As a consumer, what does it mean to me that it's "Certified"? Certified in what? Apple's ads show you the product, how you can use it and how you and the people aroun

Why would companies do that? They won't be held liable once it's modified.

Schools can use MDM profiles to track or restrict navigation. Not only would you _not_ want to do it at this level or by setting cookies from a technical perspective, it wouldn’t work well as soon as a user goes to different app.

Would be nice if there was some solution to actually run code, so it can be used to pair up and teach or test people. The UI could also benefit from some streamlining (that sidebar takes up a lot of space for info you don't need to see

That’s not necessarily always true. Spotify may very well pass costs on _right now_, but it may choose to lower its rates if it sees that enough people start unsubscribing. Companies are constantly adjusting subscriber count vs revenue per

- Singapore has Medisave, which is mandatory and strictly regulated. - Insurers in Switzerland are obligated to insure everyone and can't make a profit on the base plan. - Netherlands has similar requirement for cheap (and subsidized)
