I'm not convinced on all of these examples. I don't actually know but I suspect DeepMind has paid for itself by now.

Is it all coincidence or is there some environmental factor? These engines aren't exactly new -- they were first introduced in 1984. I'd expect design issues would have manifested already.

You're right and I apologize, I did not mean to imply that just because your experience was different than mine meant it was invalid or not true. My intent was to point out that the parent's perspective is not necessarily a common

I'm sick of every single thread on nuclear turning into a flame war of wind/solar vs nuclear. It really detracts from the real issue of high carbon sources -- why is the conversation never about nuclear vs the natural gas plants t

This is one of those things that's hard to see until you're out though. Combined with the fact that inside academia there definitely is a bias against those who don't finish the program ("they couldn't hack it"

Okay but we do have that. Nobody is saying that this is the entirety of the evidence, just that this could be the wakeup call where people realize it affects them personally and they should do something about it.

This excuse seems flimsy to me. A better reason for change: How about the fact that the Bitcoin network is currently estimated to use over 7 nuclear plants worth of electricity and that a single transaction uses like 6 households of daily e

I don't love the idea of having to vote on every single thing. There's too much to learn -- being properly informed is a full time job. San Francisco and CA in general have a lot of "direct democracy" items on ballots (a

I for one am happy to see this. I often see the argument that technology can be good or bad depending on how it's used, and I would agree with this. However, too often the solution to preventing misuse proposed by people is "don&#
