   That's interesting - first time I'm hearing the idea there might be an intelligence ceiling around the human level. Who talks about this more?

   p(doom) is 100% and it's silly to think it's anything less. As soon as anyone figures out how to build SI, all it takes is one person to run off with the secret sauce and build a malevolent version of it.

   You've spun yourself in knots. Next time ask chatgpt https://chatgpt.com/share/68768710-1e44-800a-9737-29772153b3... . I would suggest taking this down and hope it silently goes away. If you're a fractional CT

   Isn’t it obvious? It happens because we’re lazy. We’re just looking for the cheapest way to validate our existing worldview.

    Nuance is required. Would you impose a 2 Sea Bass over 42cm limit per person on the residents of North Sentinel Island? It’s all a spectrum. One nation cannot leapfrog the rest in its advancements then demand the rest follow its new norms,

    Depends on the visualization system. It can either not display the entire trace or communicate to the user that the start of the trace hasn’t been received or the trace hasn’t yet concluded. It really is just a bunch of structured log lines

    I just spent too much time today arguing with ChatGPT that the nutritional information it gave me for pearl barley seemed off. It couldn’t reason whether it was for cooked pearl barley or not. Having had a look online, it’s no wonder.

    In most companies, writing code is the last thing developers (should) do. You're there to achieve business objectives, and you were hired because someone thought your experience and skillset will be necessary to achieve those business

    Strict architectural pattern usage requires understanding the domain, and understanding the patterns. If you have both, navigating the codebase will be intuitive. If you don't, you'll find 1000 LOC functions easier to parse.

    It would appear that you're trying to present the two narratives as mutually exclusive. One of the points Mearsheimer is making is that both of these narratives are simulatenously true and the west must appreciate the geopolitics in pl

    The west has immense influence on Ukrainians, and have pushed for their integration into NATO for decades. The arguments Mearsheimer is making are not whether Ukrainians should or should not have autonomy. It’s whether they do. And the sad
