Regulation like this is dangerous for the US because it can kneecap our country, but I don’t think it’ll affect the pace of innovation globally. China isn’t going to slow down just because the Trump administration asked for some “ballroom d

You could also launch people from LA to NYC via rockets instead of using airplanes without violating any laws of physics. But we don’t, because we have airplanes already. What problem are data centers in space solving? Cooling is probably t

I looked up Gil Amelio’s “infamous” quote and it doesn’t seem incorrect given what Apple was going through at the time. Steve Jobs had just sold 1.5 million shares of Apple stock and tanked the stock, would you accuse Steve Jobs of hating A

Considering who the current face of the country is and how we are acting on the world stage, it’s the least they can do.

The most interesting thing about SpaceX is how it convinced a lot of otherwise sober people that data centers in space was a $50 septillion addressable market. You might laugh and think I’m joking but a lot of people seriously fell for the

Trump admin just banned individual users like me from using it, indefinitely, under vague authority. When did we become such a nanny state?

> Why isn't it automated yet? You delay your rent and your door key stops working. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has an excellent scene where something like this happens to a kid down on his luck.

Why? Wouldn't it be the opposite? If people are just gonna roleplay having an actual relationship, robots can do that cheaper and better in the future.

Isn't this just a rollback to emperors and concubines with new names? Musk already has something like 14 concubines that we know of. Probably a lot more we don't. Late stage capitalism is truly something else.

Well said. But I think when people say “HN isn’t social media” what they’re really saying is “HN is nutritious social media, not junk food social media”. Not sure I agree with that, but there’s some arguments to be made at least. HN general

I’m not saying LLMs are conscious. Far from it. But what I find is way more common than people who assert “they are definitely conscious” are people who assert “they are definitely not conscious”, and that’s what I’m arguing against. Espe

They’re already sounding pretty shrill imo. They’ve gone from “consciousness is X”, to “actually consciousness is X + Y”, to “actually it’s X + Y + Z + theta + omega + quantum unobtainium”

You have it backwards. Right now, LLMs are doing everything that 10 years ago people were claiming would be impossible for non-sentient computers. Every time a goal is met, the post is moved. It would be like evidence of aliens becoming ove

They only resorted to blackmail when it was the last resort, they didn’t resort to it immediately like a villain in one of the books they’ve read. That seems pretty human to me. It’s not like most humans come up with the idea of blackmail o

Yep. It’s basically how Wall Street functioned before regulations showed up to protect the public.

Couldn’t that same argument be used to justify stock market insider trading? The problem with insiders is not just that they can surface information, but they can actually manipulate the results. It’s why baseball players can’t bet on the r

Given how much our EPA has been gutted by the current administration, I don’t think relief is very likely.

The alternative is them checking the odometer each year on the EVs, which would be fairer, but I feel like Americans would complain that’s an invasion of their privacy or something. Or it would upset the rural voters who have disproportiona

75% of out-of-envelope ejections are fatal. A spinning aircraft that just started making out with another plane is definitely OOE. Those 4 pilots are incredibly lucky, assuming they all survived (looks like it?)

Wait, what? How’d we go from crappy GitHub PRs to “literally killing members in their community and ruining the ecology”? If you’re talking about massive data centers, I’m sympathetic to significantly better environmental protection laws. B

I never said it was up to AI Skeptics to “clean up the mess”. I just said if they want to be part of the conversation, realistic solutions need to be on the table. Of course, I suspect you knew that.

I still support this law. If they move to subscriptions to “dodge” this law, that’s fine in a way. At least consumers won’t be under the false impression they own something in the rare case they’re paying a subscription to play a game.

I think people would be more interested in listening to "AI skeptics" if they offered realistic solutions to the problems they predict. Pandora's box has been opened, let's deal with the consequences now instead of tryin

Well said, this is what I came around to in the end. There would be a few "blue button true believers" very surprised to find out how lonely it is in blue button heaven.
