Let's thinking through the problem... Basically you have a decent amount of money, but cannot invest/use it in the typical ways people might. Given you're asking for something out of the box by definition you'll have to

Kinda reminds me of something my old AI professor used to say, "every problem is a search problem". Intelligence is really just a measure of ones's ability to accurately filter and iterate over the search space. Evolution is

The idea that LLMs can only spew out text they've been trained on is a fundamental miss-understanding of how modern backprop training algorithms work. A lot of work goes into refining training algorithms to preventing overfitting of th

Nothing? This helps us in many ways... One way it helps is to kill Mosquitoes, but this technology could be used in all kinds of ways... For example, this STD is targeted to Mosquitoes and designed to be lethal, but you could use the same t

If I were to build a machine that reported it was conscious and felt pain when it's CPU temperature exceeded 100C, why would that be meaningfully different to the consciousness a human has? I understand I hold a very unromantic and unp

I also find when it disagrees with you it does so in a really patronising way. In my experience it will always first affirm me for having my own opinions, but then go on to explain why I'm wrong as if I'm a child or idiot – often

Glad to hear you resonated with what I said. After I wrote it I thought I probably got a bit too heated... On your point about the the owner/capitalist class, I think that should be assumed honestly. The thing that's broken in rec

I have to admit while I think this knowledge work automation push is all going to be a complete disaster for my own life, I do love that we're finally seeing the educated, "my job is more impressive than yours" class get knoc

We still time to nuke the data centers. Assuming we care about leaving our kids a world that isn't akin to a sci dystopia, or worse.

I think consumption taxes are inherently some of the most moral taxes since they give individuals some consent in their taxation – assuming essentials are not subject to VAT.

Imo the execution was a disaster. As it stands it's a pretty useless device because of the lack of controllers... I work with a company who builds interactive educational experiences in VR and even they can't use it because it can

Surely you don't find writing boilerplate fun though? Coding agents still give you control (at least for now), but are like having really good autocomplete. Instead of using copilot to complete a line or two, using something like Curso

Not really... If you're an average company you're not concerned about producing perfect software, but optimising for some balance between cost and quality. At some point companies via capitalist forces will naturally realise that

In a few years hopefully the AI reviewers will be far more reliable than even the best human experts. This is generally how competency progresses in AI... For example, at one point a human + computer would have been the strongest combo in c

While this article seems to be trying to imply Musk made this decision himselves it seems like the request actually came from the legal team at Telsa. Obviously Musk is still the CEO though and should overrule the decision for the reason yo

I'm not an expert on Yarvin's ideas, but have read enough of his stuff to suspect you're not quite representing his position accurately. In his opinion democracy is flawed in the same way a business owned by all its employees

While robotics are still relatively immature, I would think of AI as something akin to a remote worker. Anything a human remote worker can do, a super human remote worker will be able to do better, faster and for a fraction of the cost – th

I wasn't specifically including epigenetic factors, but I'd agree that if you were to include prenatal conditions and early childhood there's very little left to be shaped by environmental factors. At least assuming the envir

This is a debatable position, but I think in general people significantly underestimate the role genetics play in defining our core personality traits and preferences. While what makes someone who they are isn't just their DNA, it is a

I'm not a mathematician, but this is always the way I've looked at it too. We can't represent values like 1/3 precisely in the decimal number system, the best we can do is represent in a way that it's clear what&#x2

Dumb. I was at an old mill recently and was learning about how workers protested when weaving jobs were being replaced by machines and they were losing their jobs due to human weavers being less efficient than the new steam-powered weavers.

Why do people owe me a nice retirement? I never really got the idea of state-funded retirement. Perhaps I should feel I'm owed something if I'm too fragile/disabled to work, but I don't know why age alone should grant me

If the concept is unrealistic your mind will be more forgiving to unrealisms. But if it's suppose to be photo-realistic, you'll be hyper-critical.

I'm not agreeing with the parent comment, but I've long held the opinion that one of the the reasons the US is so much more economically successful than Europe is because businesses have so much more influence over government. Thi
