The point is that the majority of people live boring lives and don't have enough wealth to be a valuable target. I certainly fall into this category. I'm not important or interesting enough that anyone is going to look into me. It

can't this variance be explained more accurately by relative income? the US is more ethically diverse than many western nations, but also has high income inequality. This inequality, unfortunately, is distributed ethically

There are tradeoffs to every system. We chose first past the post and our executive structure for historical reasons. It's largely working for us (in a broad historical sense) and we're not going to expend the effort to change it

It doesn't make sense to compare the US to "other countries" that have different political systems. We don't have a parliamentary system. The executive doesn't necessarily represent the majority party in the legisla

Are you just dumbing down humans to match the model? LeCunn's post is very sparse on detail, but the point is that humans can easily reason about a vast number of things that any form of sequential language model cannot. That alone is

The problem with ML/AI is that it almost never provides people with a significant new capability. It can improve and augment, but rarely lets people do something that they couldn't do before. There is no "killer app" It&

wouldn't this leave you in a worse situation? say twitter becomes a publisher (whatever that means) and gets sued out of business. then you still won't be able to follow @NYPost or retweet content to followers. I'm curious, h

Twitter has made themselves clear on this. They're going to censor content they don't like, even in direct communications. Use another platform if you don't like it. If you can't do that because all of the content produc

Why couldn't twitter say "we will delete any tweets that are critical about a certain person"? is there a law against that? is it morally wrong? It seems that if they wanted, they could say "we want Candidate X to win an

The issue here is that the company HAD a political mission, and decided to change that. Some employees may have joined specifically because of the company's politics and now they can leave. Church and state are separate because you don

I loved, loved X-COM. It had an ability to capture imagination in a way that few turn based strategy games do. The randomly generated soldier names still loom large as heroes in my mind. I was affected when they were killed in action. &quot

I think the problem with your approach is that no sane person would publicly defend racism. Because they would be outing themselves as a racist to all of their co-workers. I believe that I understand very well WHY people have racist points

"nerds are socially awkward" is an observation that borders on being trite. There's a lot of truth to that of course, just because of the definition of the term "nerd". But it's something that sounds true as
