Good for him. No one has done as much damage to AR/VR as FB did to it with the Metaverse. Way to make something cool fundamentally unlikable.

For the U.S., the time is perhaps already here as people being fired are unable to find employment. It makes sense to tax the $250K or more earners to fund UBI. The cost-benefit analysis of shifting spending revenues from high income earner

Don’t. Tariffs have increased the cost of doing business so people are just getting laid off. You’ll just become an H1B slave.

It’s unnecessary to denigrate someone else’s ideas. Just do great research, and let it speak for itself. If people are interested in transhumanism, they themselves should make the effort to achieve something, and forget the naysayers. What

I go back and forth on the idea that some jobs are bullshit, maybe I haven’t been exposed to enough industries or work places. Every place I worked definitely didn’t have bullshit jobs to hand out as adult daycare, but I can see how some pl

There’s a gap that LLMs are trying to fill in such cases, which is that there’s too much information that we can possibly hope to make sense of in a lifetime. Just as it’s possible to compute something incorrectly with a calculator, you can

You’re operating under old internet rules where we didn’t have open source AI or paid AI to flesh out pros and cons prior to speaking with others. What stands out to me the most is that the Nordic model proves that reducing sex work improve

I’ve seen the videos of factory workers in some non-western nations where people mix caustic chemicals with their hands or feet. That’s still safer work than sex work, where you run the risk of getting a communicable disease, or pregnant. G

Try literally getting fucked for 8-12 hours for a month, and then get back to me. Let me know how your stds, abortions, and therapy go as well.

Very low effort and pointless comment. Try sex work for a living for a month, where it’s legal, 8 hours a day. Don’t do the glamourous type, but the normal type. I’ll happily do factory work any day.

I think it might benefit you to take a more serious approach to considering the normalization of sex work, rather than as an idealist position. Once you start to break down into an activity someone has to do on a daily basis to get money to

People who say it should be legalized haven’t thought through the implications of it.

Good. Sex work degrades the moral fabric of communities by reducing the human body into a decomposable commodity, and at that point you’re not that far off from creating a legal market for kidney selling. People have a romanticized view of

In a word, horseshoe theory. If you’re on the extreme sides of the political spectrum, you’re essentially authoritarian, even if you don’t necessarily “feel” that you are authoritarian.

The big tech firms trend more towards monopoly or oligopoly, and are tolerated more for “too big to fail” reasons than actual consumer usefulness. The incestuous nature of their dealings prevents organic innovation and competition to form,

I think this could be a welcome step towards growing much needed affordable and accessible organic materials for transplantation. If the organism doesn’t grow a nervous system, then it’s the same as lab-grown meat, and not a conscious being

Spoken like an MBA. There are pitfalls in your way of thinking, but as they say—learn by doing.

If AI spending is only improving the bottom line via job cuts, you’re doing AI spending wrong. You’re misinterpreting gains from reduced payroll expenses as increased productivity or market share. What a fucking mistake. If AI spending isn’

I am confused why CEO salaries are still so high when AI can do most of their work? If companies are looking to improve margins, then decimating CEO salaries is a great place to start. I’d even say it’s a fiduciary duty to act on this soone

It needs to be stressed often that having money does not mean you have the best genes, and all it means is that you, or someone before you, was lucky. The stupid thing with something like CRISPR is we don’t even know what combination of fac

You can’t survive in survival bunkers or islands, and thinking otherwise is a pipe dream. We don’t have a true model of what this might look like, but if there’s extreme instability then wealth doesn’t serve as a safety measure—it will be a

Eh, maybe it’s to the younger gens. When the internet first got started, it was just people having a laugh. It’s a changed now, I supposed, so maybe this study is on point.

If there truly was any introspection in these models, they wouldn’t hallucinate. All these cognitive processes are not just philosophical artifacts, but have distinct biological purposes. If you don’t find them serving any purpose in your m
