Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you’re so inclined to share, could you please share the highly improbable event you mention in your bio which reawakened your faith? You don’t have to mention anything you don’t want to.

I wonder if some places might benefit from asking patrons to stow their cameras away in lockers, some museums do that so it’s not out of the norm.

AI doesn’t have any awareness of me vs. someone else. To wit, I or someone else cannot be in a relationship with it because it has no meaningful connection with me beyond my credit card paying a subscription, or it having a place in my comp

People who say they’re voting “with their gut” lie about that, they’re voting to ensure specific outcomes for themselves or their community, but have no desire to explain any of that. Having six+ year olds vote would just include a populati

Guns are an equalizer for physical strength, and AI could be an equalizer for mental capability. That’s essentially what many people are saying when they talk about the benefits of AI, maybe without even realizing that’s what they mean. Peo

In a hypothetical scenario, what’s a better moral option? IMO, kill yourself, instead. There’s no point to any of this to begin with, and what kind of world are you creating for your children in this scenario? Besides that, where’s the sola

It’s not “just 500K” jobs. It’s a pipeline of hiring managers who set up outsourcing to their home countries at the expense of Americans, and this doesn’t change when they naturalize. Immigration is a tool for supplementing the deficiencies

The conversation about social contracts and societal organization has always been off-center, and the idea of something which potentially replaces all types of labor just makes it easier to see. The existence of AI hasn’t changed anything,

Admittedly, I skimmed through the article, but there’s an ongoing discussion around regulation of biometrics, other personal indicators, and privacy (not covered in this article).

This article offers no meaningful insight on the topic besides some regurgitated information, and doesn’t connect claims made in the title or abstract to information in the subsequent sections. I would be surprised if someone used AI to wri

> Even the idea of "races" is itself flawed and has no meaningful basis apart from "they look different". Agreed. There are genetic differences between families (think: extended blood relatives, but even those differe

I understand your point, and despite what my (hastily-typed) critique shows, I find there are valuable kernels of truth in all types of ideas. The walled-gardens for AI are more to do with recouping the cost of model training, and there are

Marxism doesn’t even explain how human civilizations have thought about property rights, let alone anything else. I am deeply afraid of the fact that so many move about as learned scholars and academics, but fail to discuss a comprehensive

Politics are marketing tools for frameworks and candidates, they don’t provide the frameworks, or any deeper meaning to life itself. What a shallow and dangerous approach.

It’s funny to me that because Sanders and Warren said that’s the way it might be done, then you think that’s the only way it could be done. You’re stuck in a zero-sum way of thinking, or you just want to take from people who’ve aggrieved y

Medicare is funded by making everyone pay for it. So, I think it follows that Medicare for All could be funded by making everyone pay for it. It’s likely that changing the calculus of the healthcare industry will result in job losses, but I

How does the ownership class lose benefits under Medicare for All (MFA)? What does ownership class mean? Let’s compare China and U.S., the former has near universal healthcare, but also an unemployment rate of 20%. The U.S. spends more on M

I don’t think we need zero-sum framing for a lot of the things we talk about, and the fact that we do is the result of politics, not the policies per se.

Here’s an idea. What if instead of left/right wing, you’d sort ideas into useful and useless buckets, given that the context of these labels will change depending on your use case. X is useful for Y, but useless for Z. Ideally, you are
