Why stop at the financial difference between a poor african boy and Elon Musk? Assuming this tech scales at the rate the article is proposing (spinning up N amazon services for N neocortices), why would the top dogs stop their competition f

Having no way of their own to biologically reproduce (yet), it is in the interest of queer rights that our most successful individuals (especially entrenched non-liberals such as Thiel) remain in the flesh and kicking for as long as possibl

Is there any evidence those labels aren't a product of linguistics and culture? Two things developed during childhood that Disney is working to profit from? Did those professionals grow up watching Disney movies?

I'm not, but neither is Disney, what makes Paul Ekman "the best lie detector in the world" if he can't also provide a universal theory of truth?
