You are saying this like pursuing profit above anything else is not a moral judgment one can heavily disagree with.

I am not following how it was better if it was illegal before. Illegally euthanising someone was not considered a homicide, how is that possible?

I think plain stupidity is more likely, no need for conspiracy.

I think the parent comment was sarcastic, no?

Honest and professional is not the same, to summarize. You can be both, but you definitely can be honest and unprofessional or even childish. Children are very honest for example.

If it leaks into independent medias, they probably will have a hard time erasing it. If they erase it before it makes it to any independent media, they have a good chance it will never surface again. At least that’s how I imagine it.

You’ll have to define “smartest”. Crime and IQ don’t really correlate (negatively or positively) as far as I know.

Well but the point was, that these are wiped from the internet. Sure it’s convenient, but I wouldn’t put it past the Chinese government - I’m sure they have erased quite a bit of uncomfortable facts.

I think you missed my point. What’s coming will obviously not be the middle age, that’s in the past. It will still be bad.

Let’s say the end of our civilization and going back to middle age or something like that.

I am all for it, but if a business is one of the few offering this, I guarantee you that their new hires will tend to have significantly more health issues than at other businesses not offering this. It’s a bit of a chicken and egg issue.

I think the uncomfortable debate is not about skill atrophy as a general phenomenon (it’s happening anyway, doesn’t matter how much we debate it) but rather, _which_ skills are atrophying and if these skills are now superfluous/worthle

I hear this for EVs mostly. They do this in sectors where they want to become the monopolist, so they can then raise prices (not really criticism, everyone tries to pull this). I agree with you it’s not possible to do this everywhere at the

Well but they were one of the lucky ones not living in terror for all the days past. Truly lucky, no irony here.

Which country is your debit card issued to? Maybe it’s specific to Germany, France

Do you really pay online, like flight tickets, with your debit card, that works? I try regularly, it never works. In shops the main issue is that the terminal they use can only read Apple Pay credit cards. If you’re using you’re banking app

You’re talking about scheme or interchange fees? In any case, it’s much lower. I think only business cards are still an exception in Germany. Interchange fees are capped at .2 or .3% and scheme fees are much smaller. I use a German bankcard

Where do you live in Europe? This has simply not been my experience at all in France, Germany, UK, Italy and Spain so far. Online shops most of all don’t take debit at all and bricks and mortar shops will accept credit more often than debit

It used to be like that in Germany, it changed quite a bit. My debit card now is refused more often than my master card when I’m in Germany. I do tend to stay in large cities and not in the country side though, so my perspective is not a st

It’s emotional, people like to have someone to believe in, who turns off their brains a bit. So annoying these pesky brains, always whispering rational things to do. So much more comfortable to just blindly trust into someone. Funny how the

That’s not correction though, that’s perpetuation or acceleration of last 40 years‘ trend. Not that I disagree otherwise though.

That is completely obvious, it’s like saying “100% security does not exist”. I believe you are falling into the nirvana fallacy: No shades of grey, if it’s not perfect it’s as bad as the rest. This is a very inefficient way of thinking as i

Ha, you just gave me an idea. Add to the prompt “do not do things that will burn over X tokens if the human operator can do it in less than X min, ask for it”. I wonder if LLMs can estimate effort in tokens?

What do you mean “somehow”? You make it sound like people don’t weight benefits and risks. If you do not live in a large city, the benefits are so immense in terms of mobility, they outweigh the risks for most, very clearly. That’s why in l

I thought that these stupid captchas where you teach some AI to recognize fire hydrants without getting paid was rock bottom, but no, you can actually pay a lot of money to train AI. Business is amazing.

Sure, life will not die out. It won’t be pretty for us humans though.

We’re talking climate warming by 2-3°C at least, no one knows how bad it’s going to be. I wish I would share your optimism. At the moment, scientists keep revising their prognostics for the worse each year.

Ok, so civilisation collapse first. Ok, then I agree.

LOL. The environment will be destroyed but it won’t be getting any worse anymore. They will be delighted. Just a couple thousand years, maybe a million, to wait out – doable.
