Non responsive trolling. Bad faith muted.

They simply asked you to support your claims, as an ethical person would. Without that, your words are just noise. And I see that this isn't the only comment you made where someone asked to provide supporting evidence and you dodged.

"easy" and "easier" have very different meanings. I've read through these comments and, as is typical of HN, virtually none of them refute or even address the points made by TFA.

binaryturtle asked this question above and got about 10 responses. Conditions are very different, precursors to life get quickly consumed by existing life, origin of life is a rare event, etc.

The building blocks will be immediately consumed by existing life. And that's just one way in which the world is radically different from the one in which life arose. And life may have arisen from a very low probability set of circumst

It's not Oracle that issued the ban -- it doesn't have that authority. It's the OpenJDK Governing Board. (Of course the latter generally follows Oracle's lead.) https://openjdk.org/legal/ai That Ora

I find this sentiment so bizarre ... scared of what, exactly? There are real threats that people ignore, like rip tides, global warming, RFK Jr., and fascism, but those "cosmic powers" aren't coming to get us.

Imagination is great for writing science fiction but it doesn't change the laws of physics that make the sort of organization needed for life impossible. You write "configuration of atoms" but there's no such thing withi

I explained the roles of the branches. This throwaway comment doesn't refute what I wrote. And the way Congress "speaks" on our behalf (that is, they are supposed to represent us) is through legislation. No way am I giving th

Things like this can't be undone, any more than selling off public lands.

Congress already did something -- it wrote the law. It's the courts that rule against lawbreakers. However, it's the executive branch that takes action against lawbreakers, and that branch is currently utterly corrupt.

Pangram is useless ... proven by Substack deploying it and numerous authors complaining that it claims their work is AI. That said, TFA is slop whether produced by AI or not.

> they don't understand the notion of truth so they can't do verifiable work like math proofs." a) No one ever said that. b) Your comment shows a lack of understanding of the notion of truth.

Hurray for an intelligent comment. It's alarming how much idiocy results from this radical anti-AI hysteria. e.g., someone here said that a set of slides "packed with information" was "completely worthless" because

Weird HN bozos who respond to a discussion 4 days later and expect someone to see it other than purely by chance. > At any rate, your statement is quite false. No it isn't, of course.

I already quoted from TFA in response to you, completely refuting your misrepresentation of it. To post this more than an hour after my comment while ignoring my comment is bad faith, especially this extraordinary falsehood and fake quote:

It's not at all a joke ... that's a severe misunderstanding of the context.
