i like it, and have thought of similar ideas. i would add yogis or "spiritual masters" or something like that to the scientists and engineers, just to keep things in check and not let the intellect take over too much. so it seems

i suppose i meant "ideal job" in the sense that no matter what you have to have something to do each day. so what would that be. if you didn't need money, you could do your ideal collection-of-daily-activities.

i didn't intend for the answers to be skewed a certain way. that's just what i had in mind. and i do think that music makes the world a better place anyway. but if you wanted to just go around and drink beer at various bars that&#

well, why don't you guys stay together and continue work? start your own thing! google fired you, yes, but you're still alive and able to communicate. maybe you won't get paid as much as you did at google. but prove to them t

yes, maybe they spent some of the profit on personal things that they shouldn't have, but don't a lot of publicly-funded organizations do that? i'm not justifying it. i'm saying that when an institution takes a wrong ste

this is interesting because the internet archive is basically a publicly-funded digital library, just like a real library is publicly-funded. it just isn't so on paper. so this is an opportunity to say "hey, look at what this amaz

yes, but apparently the law hasn't been updated to allow for that, and legal people get confused by it. what is it that triggers the process of reviewing and revising/removing an outdated law when an entity breaks it? it's ob

this law is out of date and silly. one of the primary purposes of making digital copies is to have infinite copies, and everyone knows that. [Request to delete that law submitted]

what did they do with the donation money? if they did something charitable with any extra profit i think it should be ok, because then all there is is good-intentioned activity.

what are some games that were made using the nebula engine?

by gooob 3y ago
everyone already has computers that can "run AI". would be pretty ridiculous if some law was passed and everyone's computers were confiscated. that would be like a lobotomization of society. a very stupid and short-sited move

they shouldn't of ever made it into a "product". it wasn't ready. this is still a new technology and a new tool in a unfinished early stage in its development. it is still in testing phase. companies shouldn't be tr

i was thinking about something similar last night: that what we call "news" is obsolete. this narration of human-social-events. we have the tech to observe the world as it is, and if something interesting happens, save that. like

complex topics and situations articulated very well. how are we engineers, thinkers, and scientists to coordinate in this day in age, outside of the realm of money (making monetary profit should NOT be a priority at all), to bring about a b

it is very strange. i think the truth is that most people are just there for the money. they chose a college major not because they found it interesting, but because they were told that it pays a lot. i was born in 1996 and have been workin
