Our starting position is the status quo, where site level echo chambers are near total. X vs BlueSky is a thing after all. Reddit, wikipedia etc. are just farcical.

Not close. Both those mistake knowing for trusting.

I have long believed that whatever comes along to replace the reddit/HN etc type site will be based almost entirely on trust networks. i.e. only surface stories posted by or upvoted by those you trust, and the inverse with those you di

Yeah, with who is doing space exploration being right up there. If it is us it isn’t going to be in our organic bodies, and this renders so much of it irrelevant. Wider society will likely pigeon hole their thinking on that next to concerns

The fact this reflects the subject matter in question is an irony surely lost on the author as well. Political tedium aside a major factor in the decline of scifi is we live in the future, only it is not the future people were being excited

LLMs are still not good at structurally hard problems, and it is doubtful they ever will be absent some drastic extension. (Including continuous learning). In the mean time the trick is creating a framework where you can walk them through t

Those aren’t the only two possibilities though.

Memory uses power, this is a major factor in why aggressively stopping things helps. There is a strong argument modern mobile goes too far for this.

There is another lunatic possibility: the AI explosion yields an execution model and programming paradigm that renders most preexisting approaches to coding irrelevant. We have been stuck in the procedural treadmill for decades. If anything

This massively confusing phase will last a surprisingly long time, and will conclude only if/when definitive proof of superintelligence arrives, which is something a lot of people are clearly hoping never happens. Part of the reason fo

It failed because there is an ongoing denial that development and operations are two distinct skillsets. If you think 10x devs are unicorns consider how much harder it is to get someone 10x at the intersection of both domains. (Personally I

So we have already reached the stage where we deny ever claiming otherwise. What a future this is turning out to be. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Careful now, that is dangerously close to admitting weather manipulation has been known about and possible for decades, and not merely a conspiracy.

Easy - they are in hiding. They are good enough that they have to actively hide in order that they are not killed, literally, in the cross fire their work has caused. This has been the situation for over a decade. Consider how big the India

> India has neither the ability nor the desire to attack the US. Extraordinarily wrong on the first part. Some countries have even outsourced some of their cyberattack capability to Indian companies in the past, and not for cost reasons.

> if (big if) you trust the execution environment, which is apparently auditable This is the key question. What makes it so strange is such an execution environment would have clear applications outside of AI usage.

> One point that gets very little coverage is that fossil fuels are a limited resource Every time someone uses the term “renewable” they are providing coverage to this notion. It is deeply bizarre you can think otherwise.

While a pan-US national awareness is widely seen as emerging during the civil war the rest of what you are saying is disingenuous. Prior to that it was a selection of colonies etc. which very much had borders because skirmishes over taxatio

What came first, Trump or failing to enforce laws regarding mass illegal immigration? With a multi decade head start too. You cannot expect institutions that selectively ignored laws for decades to think it is legal for anyone to stop them

Your problem is you want things more than think about them. The rot of the bureaucracy coming to convenient decisions extends from illegally allowing millions of people to take up residence in the country to convicting people of trumped up
