Wanted a Tesla so badly when I was younger. Bought an electric last year and went with Subaru because: a. I don't trust Tesla's autopilot, specifically the car's ability to accelerate. b. The subaru solterra was more comforta

Yeah downvote me more. Marx was a moron and labor doesn’t make the cost of a product. You would have to be intellectually disabled to not see that.

Ok. Pretty sure any apocalypse is stupid lol. Yeah there’s no such thing as the alignment problem. Shrug.

The fuck are you talking about. We price out labor constantly and it seems to make the economy better. Also things really can’t be priced by labor. By that logic, a 10,000ft pile of shit would be priced at the cost of labor I paid people to

That you think it is more dangerous than a nuclear weapon is so bonkers to me lol. I’ve heard this sentiment a ton and I flat out don’t get it.

Why are you cautious? Our lives don’t matter nor what we ask it. I suspect human ego has more to do with these fears than anything real or tangible. So many of us thought we were smart and it turns out we just had some small advantage in ti

Well the public is very stupid. I say this as a complete moron who is part of this public. The amount of bad opinions I’ve had is astounding. I hope AI replaces all of education so that’s my level of comfort with it. Which is to say not com

I noticed the same thing. I also notice pompous dorks love to hate on people like you who point this out.

Amazing people still think Musk’s “core points” are still correct after this. I hate this community anymore.

And here I thought the paid subscription to a newspaper with journalists was how I got my news. Guess it depends on what you call news too. I don’t typically think of media whores and liars as good news sources but to each their own.

That doesn’t have to be the case. It could be we come to realize that reality isn’t one geometry but many and they are just 2 of n geometries which fit together. That doesn’t seem to make sense, but that’s just the idea of cohomology from w

This is mostly fantasy. It was accepted because it worked. There was no grand cultural or religious reason. Just boring old “it works”. You can still use the algamest if you’d like to plot the paths of planets. John Conway pointed this out

Elon Musk is a fool and any argument derived from him is for fools. He just wants money. It’s not about any grand idea, that’s just a tool to manipulate an army of dorks.

“OpenAI has clearly sold out in a big way to one of the most dangerous and irresponsible companies on the planet” Find a couch and lay down before the vapors get too strong.

Wow. I remember reading about this years and years ago and thinking this kid would have such a bright future. Now I’m an old man and looking at this story my thoughts are more “this kid could never have had a chance in these school systems”

I really enjoyed this and it has lots of great lessons. One small point though. I noticed this paragraph: “From a certain perspective, software is inherently designed to be modified (why else would it be called "software"?). This

That's a silly request and expectation. If the capitalist puts in the money and risk, they can do as they please, which means someone _could_ make aspects public. But, others _could_ choose not to. Then we let the market decide. I didn

Yeah no shit. Have you seen the cost and length of programs? The length of the curriculums have just gotten longer, rarely do they subtract. God look at the joke which is the math curriculum to see that. The average time to graduate is long

I work with a guy that’s always saying he learns by doing and sidesteps explaining anything ever with that, or to cruelly put down a team member that needs some training. I enjoy reminding him of my time in the army. We were just handed rif

Had the same thought reading this, maybe it’s because I work in OSS and write tests with changes and fix tests for fixes that weren’t caught. That adds 20-40 lines very fast alone. Guessing that is not common.

I would kill myself if I worked somewhere where they actually did this type of analysis. I cannot wait for AI to replace me and I become homeless but free from a horrible choice to get involved with computers many years ago. Damning me to t

Ok, so you know society breaks down at the limit of what you are saying, right? Also the example is ludicrous, you're saying the cops would try to blame someone for a hit and run that isn't even in a car. No, the cops are not that

I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree. Maybe I spent too much time in Ohio. You should read up on the maps there and the supreme court fight. Think about human motivations and desires more, and less about a math proof or abstract paper

I thought my watch was overpriced and sold under a lie, which then cost me serious money to basically buy the same product again. It works fine, but I will always hate it since I had to buy it twice. The Macbook went from an amazing piece o
