Same thing with gold. Apparently I needed to be buying gold since before I was born and every year since because hyperinflation is always right around the corner.

Some do though. Having a lot of money in a checking account doesn’t mean someone is any more sophisticated with respect to finances. It could be retirement savings or an inheritance. No one should wake up one day and find out most of their

I don’t know how one would go about doing that research. Anecdotally I figured out the parental lock code on a cable box when I was 12, watched one of the porn channels, I was more excited that I was able to guess the code than anything els

Did you read my last sentence? Make the law such that bank failures can only occur in situations of outright fraud/criminal behavior. Most failures occur because of bank runs or stupid/risky bets, unlimited FDIC takes care of runs

It’s too late now, but the FDIC should just guarantee all deposits with no limit. If they did it with SVB they should do it for every other bank too moving forward. It is ridiculous to expect the average person to dig into bank balance shee

I am looking forward to widely available personal EVTOL aircraft. Unless the TSA sometimes makes it into there and ruins that too

What goes through this guy’s head? Did he honestly think he’d get away with it? Kill someone and go to jail the rest of your life because your adult sister might have done drugs?

A good filter too if you want to fly under the radar and collect a paycheck without doing much work

That was their problem, they weren’t willing to go full-blown nazi/white nationalist which is what their user base wanted.

I think he’s talking about the institutional capture and monopolization of higher education…essentially coming away with the same skills for free from YouTube but they’re worth nothing in the market because you didn’t pay $50k/year to

His “donation” is essentially just a couple updates to some database tables. He doesn’t need the money, Harvard doesn’t need the money, neither will buy or not buy something as a result of the transaction, it’s just numbers moved from Griff

Then what do you suggest the solution should be if fake evidence is so good it can’t be distinguished from the real thing?
257.
by jliptzin 4y ago
I think it’s a boon for privacy. If fake images/videos/sound can easily be generated indistinguishable from actual footage, if there’s something embarrassing out there you can quite legitimately just claim it’s an AI hit piece by

It's perfectly fine to believe in higher powers. For instance I think it's possible (or probable) we may be living in a simulated reality within a higher dimensional universe. If that's the case, a 4 dimensional (or higher) b

I also know someone in a similar circumstance who suddenly turned to religion. Turns out he was becoming schizophrenic.

But what got the cycle going in the first place?

by jliptzin 4y ago
No, you let the amount accumulate over a decade until it gets so high until you call one of those late night infomercials and end up settling with the IRS for 10% of the bill.

So does my pocket calculator understand what I’m doing when I multiply restaurant bills by 0.15?

by jliptzin 4y ago
I understand (1) but how does (2) happen? If you don’t trust it can’t you just have a kill switch that needs to be updated daily otherwise the thing turns off? How would software be able to alter the hardware it runs on such that it can gua

But where is the imminent danger? It is still limited in many ways. For example, it can be turned off or unplugged. Is it because CAPTCHAs won’t work anymore? That sounds like a problem for sites like Twitter that have bot problems. Is it b

Can someone explain to me what is so dangerous here? Do people actually think we’re headed towards James Cameron’s terminator and soon ChatGPT will become self aware and destroy us? I am far more afraid of tools to edit viruses becoming che

It definitely speeds up my programming but it makes mistakes here and there (like any programmer) that need to be fixed. For me it’s a lot faster to proofread code or adjust the prompt than write it from scratch. And of course there’s cases

That would make sense if we didn’t already have online shopping that is so easy and seamless. I know what I like and can already find it and order it inside of literally 15 seconds, 1 minute maximum. Is that minimal time savings worth the c

by jliptzin 4y ago
Shopping moving from brick and mortar to online was truly revolutionary. Compare a few taps on your phone to getting in your car, getting gas, driving to store, locating item, waiting in line, paying, getting back in your car, etc and the t
