Even though it is true YouTube is a hugely valuable resource, if it takes YouTube going as far as blocking adblockers for me to pay for premium at this point, I don't think I could bring myself to do it. In a word - and I know it sound

Maybe that is the crux of the problem. Human yearning is dual-use.

Exactly! You hit on something I have been thinking about for a long time, but phrased better than I could have. We need to start saying this out loud more and more. There is a problem that lies above the development of AI or advanced techn

Not the parent, but it could mean that for some reason (biological, environmental or otherwise) some people don't receive as much pleasure from social contact as others. It could run the scale from mere introversion to pathological. To

I don't know if this is 100% a hit piece if so many people really did resign citing emad as the main problem. If he is a compulsive liar or as incompetent as his co-workers claim then it's a red flag to me. I remember the one time

It may be similar to the idea that if you are deemed to have imposter syndrome, then you cannot be an actual imposter, so if people perceive you to have imposter syndrome then it's in some ways a good thing. It's impossible to kno
