True. But please consider the difference the social background of the people makes. If you are financially secure due to parents (or whatever) you can easily accept positions with a low payment and do your best to get into a promising tenur

True. Also, there are definitely traditions and notions about better and worse jobs which play a role, besides supply and demand. In some countries salaries for some jobs do not rise even though there is a clear lack of supply. But they jus

Birth control, yes, but also the existence of credible pension plans. If your survival in your old age solely depends on the family you probably tend to make sure there are several candidates for sustaining you.

I sympathize with the idea in principle, but do you really think people who are that rich will not find ways to evade the tax? Most likely they can prevent such a tax being installed at all. Money = power.

I have met several people with that idea in "real life". And now?

Isn't it infinitely more efficient than just letting the potential power be wasted? If supply surpasses demand eventually wind farms are shut down. That has to change, IMHO.

I think that can only work with very small, incremental steps in intelligence, though. Will a ten year old human be able to create a meaningful test for an adult with high intelligence? No matter the resources you give the young one, they u

The "easy" optimization targets I have mentioned (tokens/memory/etc.) seem to confuse you. Ignore them for the main point - how do you create good tests for a more advanced AI than you yourself are (or have control of)?

While I also think it is a good system, it should be noted that the capital side has a majority in any vote. So if the representatives of the capital side agree on an issue they can always ensure they get their way. Furthermore, at times em

That could end up in getting better and better special-purpose expert systems. How do you create better and better general-purpose AIs this way? What is more, when the AIs are more advanced, it might be challenging to create meaningful test

What never was so clear to me in that vision is, how the version n actually makes sure the version n+1 is actually faster and better. Initially there might be the easy option of using more tokens/memory/<whatever easily measura

And I think it is misleading to treat a country like India, with the 5th highest GDP in the world, as rounding error.

While you may be less subject to corporate power structures the way you are operating now, you are still subject to all kinds of other power structures. As the GP has submitted, try working against the power structure of the country you are

Maybe only looking at the increase of energy production from coal is a bit short-sighted, though. Running a large number of nuclear plants could undermine the impetus to sufficiently and timely invest into expanding renewable energy product

If I have understood you correctly you were concerned by funding being cut off. Why would that not be a concern with other media, not receiving any government funds, as well? I also do not really understand why you are more concerned with g

So, what are the chances that it is different, this time? If AIs are getting better and better, they might replace more and more jobs. What kind of new jobs are we imagining that cannot be replaced by a "near-intelligent" AI? If t

I wonder why it is not acceptable in many companies to skip meetings as you see fit. I can do that at my workplace, with the possible exceptions of a 1:1 with my manager (30 minutes once a month) and the main team meeting (1-2 hours every o

Well, if it did work, and you have a good solution the next morning there will be no reason to procrastinate.

On the other hand it can be helpful, in my experience, to stop right in the middle of a very hard problem, where you are still searching for a good solution. Come the next morning I often know at least a possible solution, without having wo
