Then the OP should have said that, not with the language they used which was textbook FUD content. Your argument at the end actually points to language in the linked article that shows we souls probably be weary while we read it, which is a

Do you have a substantive argument against them? This reads like a personal attack, IMO. I understand HN is full of people wearing rosy glasses about AI, but you can’t just throw away their arguments in the link by calling them some names a

Masochistic edging, perhaps.

Claims that other people are propagandizing are ridiculous with zero evidence, that’s some FUD BS. Make a better argument against OP if you’re so sure.

You should turn that into a novel, it sounds like something you could sell to the romance crowd. I hear sci-fi is the next genre they'll take over.

I would bet at least 95% or more, personally. I'd survive okay here (until I got sick or injured) because my local environment is pretty easy to survive in, but I would die quick in a harsher wilderness, I am sure, and I am fine with a

I’ve always been in favor of a land tax like the Georgist’s describe. I still think property taxes on stocks should be a thing. Americans pay income taxes from foreign sources, so why shouldn’t the rich also pay the same for overseas invest

I live on an overloaded island thousands of miles from anywhere else metropolitan, so no I cannot just hook my thumb and hitch a ride with a trucker across the vastness of some flyover states to get to new opportunities.

Eventually, under the barrage of AI spam, the sites which "uprank" using "posting volume" metrics will lose users who will see the quality of the content drop like a rock. Other sites, which have better algorithms which

They don't use different bars to become a doctor. Once you're in medical school, everyone passes the same tests and goes through the same process. Show me evidence that doctors of a certain race are allowed to have lower test scor

Property taxes are a thing. If Joe Dirt has to pay property taxes for the home he shelters in, the wealthy should have to pay property taxes for the shares of a company that they use to secure loans for yachts and Ferraris.

Have too few doctors already, we should set a bar for qualifications and let anyone over the bar become a doctor. The DEI bogeyman didn’t do any harm here, since the current system requires both to get over the bar AND to be randomly select

Where I live, land is a very meaningful constraint, there’s no cheap land near anything meaningful. We’re about at our limit in terms of transportation infrastructure, too, so additional housing has to be apartments right in town or our hor

It’s amazing to me how fast the VC tech world fell to their knees in front of king musk and his orange jester trump. I’m almost ready to invest in knee replacement surgery supply companies.

They’re surprised because they don’t understand the history of tech and fascism. IBM was responsible for ensuring the Holocaust went off efficiently as hell. Now Elon Musk has access to American’s most closely held data, I wonder how that’s

People have to be comfortable to be as creative as the OP comment, so while I agree in principle, I think it's going to be harder than you imagine to build amazing things when you're living below the poverty line. The anxiety and

Imagine if every human had the resource security to do this for a good portion of their lives. Star Trek was fiction but we could have that if a few of us humans weren’t so greedy!

The ice isn’t in one place, it’s spread around in the regolith at varying densities. How do you collect and melt it? Sure you have heat and nothing to do with it but your ice isn’t all in a neat pile. My point is that you can go on and on l

No, I’m saying it’s stupid to put this on the moon. Every time someone says, “just do this” there are complexities and costs that they don’t account for. Where will you get the immense energy needed to melt supercooled ice?! It’s ridiculous

There is a certain amount of energy you need to move from the chips to the atmosphere or to the geology, and a liquid coolant vs a gaseous coolant will make a BIG difference in how much of that heat you can move. I don't know why I am
