Would be a fun idea for a short story perhaps. An AI goes rogue trying to optimize its reward function, and humans lose hope to be able to stop it. In the last minute the AI figures out how to hack itself and enter the maximum reward, and m

There is no rule in capitalism that says you have to optimize for capital accumulation over any other goal. There is not even an evaluation function, people can choose their own values.

Any recommendations for Java hosting? Most PaaS I have looked at seem to have a very steep price increase from self hosting. For example Heroku presumably is 50$/month, when currently I get by with a 7$/month VPS. And the next lev

If you never give the person the chance to decide, you are oppressing them even more. All those eggs you never fertilized make you tyrant of epic proportions.

Let's talk again when the banks cancel his accounts because he refuses to get vaccinated, or some other nonsense. Most Web3 stuff is shit, that much is true, but that also goes for a lot of other things.

Reading the comments again, by "making money" I did not mean earning money like the crazy guy still having an income from assets he acquired in the past, but being able to make new deals, start successful companies and so on. But

If you think about crypto for a bit, it is not such a far fetched idea. It tackles the issue of a fair initial distribution.

OK but presumably Howard Hughes built his empire while he was not yet crazy and incapable, so it is not a good example for what you wanted to say.

So your claim is that Altman used to be capable of making money, but is not anymore? Why? He doesn't come across as crazy and out of touch to me.

Do we really need farm workers? Then why is nobody paying them? I think most stories about poor farmers is about farmers who want to farm in a more traditional way, while actually most stuff is produced in huge enterprises that don't n

There are like a zillion different phones available, so I am not sure what your argument is supposed to be. There are also alternatives in search. However, search engines and smartphones are complicated enterprises, so it is not too surpris

Yes upgradeable software could be enforced - it would just make phones more expensive, stiffle competition, and waste resources. But the politicians deciding it of course get their phones for free, so they wouldn't care much.

I would guess, as I said, that towns simply compete for the business by making them an attractive offer. For example even when selling the ground for the warehouse towns could give Amazon a cheaper price while hoping for more future income

I don't know why that war is being fought, but for example the scenario "if Ukraine joins Nato, then further fighting in the Donbass or the Crimea would lead to war with Nato, so those territories would be lost" seems at leas

Sorry but that is extremist nonsense. Are you even aware that the war has already been going on since 2014, with 40000 casualties (afaik)?

A couple of days ago there was a job search for US PsyOps posted here on HN. What makes you think it is a specifically Russian strategy? It also could be a general feature of war or people quarrelling that both parties have different versio

Social Meia and search engines are downranking or censoring it, though. All I see (without TV) is general statements like Putin saying "war is going great".

I can't see anything in your linked videos. In any case, dumb unguided bombs are not the same as deliberately targeting civilians. I also don't won't to take sides here, I merely point out that the information is rather one-s

Are you sure it is not in turn Ukrainian propaganda when they claim the opposite? We only get to see the Ukrainian version of things. I also don't think enemy tanks are the only military reasons for bombing something. Obviously there n

That comparison is complete nonsense, as presumably the specs of those phones are completely different. You can now get cheap phones that perform better than a 2014 S5.
