You can't have it both ways. If you insist people get the same pay no matter how enjoyable the job is, then you're implying people should get the same pay for jobs that make people feel like shit. IMHO, the latter is really expl

At this point bringing up the ELIZA argument is basically bad faith gaslighting… Finding bugs in some models doesn’t mean you have a point about intelligence. If somebody could apply a similar argument to dismiss human intelligence, you do

If you’re opposed to the fundamental function of the USSC to the point that you’re unhappy with Marbury v Madison, then there’s not a whole lot of common ground to discuss the Chevron case and it’s overturn. Don’t get me wrong, I honestly

Sure, you don't always get everything you want. That's part of life. But actively seeking or allowing things that make you feel genuinely bad? That's a bit messed up, TBH. ... and telling others to do so? Well :-/

Yes, only if you genuinely agree with the same argument about extroverts, i.e. force them to be in solitude for more than they feel comfortable. I'm not talking about literally locking them up in jail, but let's say if your logic

Lesser known is that SO content is generally under a CC-BY-SA license, which means not only attribution, but also "share-alike", which generally means releasing derivative work under the same license... There is significant legal

You've got it wrong. The Chevron rule applies to situations where the government/executive branch interprets the laws (not constitution) passed by Congress. The rule says nothing about regulations being unconstitutional, and says

(And with this comment, the 2024 Olympics commences.) There are so many competitions that don't have any obvious practical significance. And people are still enjoying competitions where AI completely pwns humans. Also, this is probably

It is kind of "peer-reviewable" in the "Elon Musk vs Yann LeCun" form, but I doubt that the original commenter meant this.

It's not that black and white. IMHO, most people donating to a software project would assume the funds are used for something related to that software project. Of course you can invent a narrative saying that the funds are now given to

I didn't expect so many eager responses to my AI generated copy-pasta! Oddly on topic, I've recently experimented with shoving classics into an LLM to "modernize" the language and see what comes out on the other side. (

If Trump didn't back down it could have definitely been a constitutional crisis. I'd say it was narrowly averted though.
