Glad to see someone cogently write what I've been thinking after reading some of the writeups and comments on BingGPT. The Turing test is ours to fail. Reading the transcript of Roose's interaction felt like reading a convo with a

I think the Buddha would encourage you to test his prescriptions and see if they lead to less or more suffering.

I'd like to see a list of games the Buddha would play, as I don't think it would contain anything unless the game somehow pertained to discernment of the nature of suffering or the extinction of the cycle of rebirth.

Ergodox EZ Likes: easy customization of layout, dead keys, etc with firmware, construction, choice of keyswitches. Dislikes: Thumb cluster small buttons which I never use.

There are some folks trying to build an alternative that is better for musicians. https://resonate.is/ Last time I checked it was still pretty niche but the idea (graduated pricing to stream to own) is solid.

Came here to say this. Big budget Hollywood movies have to be internationally viable nowadays and that means conforming to the least common denominator of the target audiences. The result is movies that are palatable to the US and China and

Rather ironic given that facebook has engaged in human subject research regarding emotional manipulation without informed consent in the past. I think they’ve waived their right to object.

Cooking cooking cooking. You’ll eat probably until the day you die. Might as well figure out how to feed yourself in a way that sustains you and brings some joy to you and possibly to others.

This is hilarious. Amazon: "How can you choose MICROSOFT?! We're the best" DoD: "Uh, sure, but we like Microsoft." Zon: "BUT WE'RE THE BEST. DONT YOU UNDERSTAND" DoD: "Uh, no" Zon: "BU

This is one of the only times I’ve seen someone mention a debt jubilee and lay out the case seriously. Happy to see it!

States like the US can just spend in advance without taxing, there’s no necessary relation. We’re not on the gold standard anymore. The point of a tax isn’t to pay for things, it’s to attempt to control inflation and the money supply, and t

Don't break Amazon up. Nationalize Amazon. Use all the data they collect to make supply chains more effective/efficient, move us closer to a planned economy.

Appreciate it. Meant it mostly as a "Wow didn't know X company had 1000 to 1 CEO to median pay ratio". I'll see if I can get some more data / detail on what goes into the pay numbers.

How many people did they foreclose upon during the mortgage crisis? How many people have they extracted usurious amounts of interest from? How many people have they lured into debt and deceitful loans? This is a large corporation with as mu

Education is certainly one part, but we could also shift business models away from advertising. Ads are a cancer on content and attention, and the fact that so much of the economy is centered around them is mind boggling.
