Just like the other guy, you skip the part where you actually name a harm done by them, because then people could easily shoot down your comment. Or name how EAs are a religion, I haven't even seen that troll before.

I think these are all true and relevant, but the main problem is that their thesis that "ASI alignment will be extremely difficult" can only really be proven in hindsight. It's like they're crying wolf but can't pro

If you're going to claim a group is "deeply anti-human ghouls", maybe include an example or 2 of this in your post.

This is a perfect example of a Hacker News hot-take, you complain about their attitude while making zero reference to their actual accomplishments or failures. No one will downvote you for posting something factually incorrect, because you

They're not innocent, they kill even when they're not hungry. If people evolved empathy towards them because historically they killed pests, that would explain why people love little murderers. The fact that the animals "do

AI is going to wreck their entry-level job prospects anyway, which is 100x more important and invalidates the need for diplomas to begin with.

This is like the frog in the boiling water story, except Frog is worried about being boiled alive after the temperature has only risen .001 degrees, so he writes articles saying "Google is burying the web alive" begging for someon

They don't have a moat. They could have built one by turning the app into an actual game. Casuals love farming games, give them a farm where the crops grow by learning new words. Too late now though.

People have been claiming AI text will be filled with ads since long before ChatGPT, and I'm sure they'll continue to await it for years to come.

NYT dying because of moderate changes to Google search is a gigantic slippery-slope argument, and would be such a slow process that there'd be plenty of time to pivot anyway.

It's definitely not fair, but publishers were already driving away users with screens full of ads, newsletter pop ups, "affiliate" links, and padded-out content (so people scroll more and see more ads). Users aren't goi

Name any other company acting like that besides OpenAI. Or any person besides Sam Altman, the guy who screwed up OpenAI's structure/board/funding. You just have a narrative you want to be true, and one company half fits int

This line of thought doesn't work, because any company approaching AGI might be actively trying to hide that information from regulators and the military. Being the 1st AGI company is actually pretty risky.

What about the Dems who primaried Hillary and Biden, ruining the 2016 and 2024 elections? All they had to do was pick someone at least mildly likable and not so old that they'd bomb a 2nd election.

Academia let itself get too political these last 10 years and deserved some kind of reckoning for it, yet somehow this manages to be so shameless that it makes academia look like the good guys standing up to an oppressive regime. Which mean

The fact that people like you are still posting like this after Veo 3 is wild. Nothing could possibly be forcing you to hold onto that opinion, yet you come out in drones in every AI thread to repost it.

FYI to anyone missing the core GB guys, they're on a Twitch channel called NextLander. Vinny, Brad, Alex, Will Smith, Abby.

This. I've bought games after seeing 10 seconds of gameplay from a streamer. And those were some of my best purchases, hidden gems.

They pioneered it, but they lost because "gig-economy" streaming is better at finding diamonds in the rough. Giant Bomb couldn't find more Vinny's or Dave's no matter how hard it tried (and it did try).

Must have been pretty bad if you can't even say, but feel free to keep blaming your problems on the USA, you'll do that anyway.

People downvote this guy because obviously nobody actually thinks with their blood-pumping organ. But as for the quote, it's incredibly clear how little empathy most people have towards others, to the point where AI will easily out-e

This is a perfect example of a motte and bailey. The "motte" is that people should be judged badly for parroting horrible ideas they heard (which makes sense) and the "bailey" is that people should be praised just for p

The exact definition of AGI is pretty much the least interesting thing about AGI. It's basically bike-shedding at this point: arguing about something easy to understand instead of tackling the really hard questions like "how comp

You guys are reading from my comment some sort of aggressive anti-pill stance that isn't there. I'm just predicting something that will happen, because predicting the future and seeing if reality later plays out that way is fun.

Women could baby-trap their boyfriend into marriage by swapping out his pills for placebo, then blame the pregnancy on the pills not working. Most women would never do this, but a few definitely would.

I'm sure it's illegal for a woman to secretly swap out her boyfriend's medicine for a placebo, but good luck proving it happened in court.
