If I were trying to come up with a word for paying people, the first thing I would do is exclude all the words that explicitly mean not paying people.

Lesswrong is ground zero for AI doomers, so this is right in their wheelhouse.

Cars 20 years ago didn't have realtime traffic on big touchscreens that you can use to look up your destination and plan out a route that also lets you schedule fueling/charging stops, oh and also stream humanity's entire lib

At the same time, we're losing tons of mechanical problems that use to go wrong with cars. The amount of time lost to car malfunctions is way down over the past couple decades, even with slight regressions like this one.

There's never been any car that 100% will work in the morning when you go to the garage. It's all tradeoffs.

> If you look for non-Apple laptops with equivalent CPU score, they would cost around $450. And they support Linux. And their battery lasts almost two hours.

Yup. People always complain that the AppleTV is too expensive vs the competition, but stuff like this is exactly why.

I might ignore personal project emails while I'm on vacation, but I also won't complain if one of those emails says my billing method is out of date and I come home and it's been turned off.

Same, that’s why we’re both not billionaires.

No, look at the chart again, it's denominated in constant 2021 dollars, i.e., adjusted for inflation. Public school spending has increased.

You praised the decisions “averaged out by the opinions of the many,” which burn billions and billions of dollars in failed experiments every year. Happy to help.

Ah yes, nothing says "unburnt money" quite like the public education system.

Google has a flywheel where its dominant position in search results in more users, whose data refines the search algorithm over time. The question is whether OpenAI has a similar thing going, or whether they just have done the best job of t
