Do these clothes cut for men actually look flattering on the female form? If my wife wears a men’s sweater it looks fairly frumpy. A really attractive person might still look good in an ill fitting piece, but they’d probably look even bett

...and the above was instantly downvoted. Communities that use downvotes become blind to self-criticism.

Just like here, it would quell community taboo opinions. If you want to be downvoted to oblivion on HN, just try pointing out potential moral issues with a new technology.

10 years later I’m now operating at 100% but I’m extremely careful to be stress avoidant. For the first 3 years of doing almost nothing productive the progress was quite slow. In retrospect, a couple of high dose psilocybin sessions may hav

I experienced severe cognitive decline in my 20s from the stress of running a startup. The most alarming part was the loss of vocabulary. I was an avid reader and couldn’t call to mind fairly simple multi-syllablic words. It took 5 years o

It reflects poorly on this community that any comment that questions the ethics of technology gets downvoted.

OK. But WHY? All technology has moral implications. Did you create this to actually help people? Do you care if it is weaponized? Think before you create.

If a person can’t be helped by their close friends and family, why would one expect a monolithic system to do any better?

I’m just commenting on the “bad people” part, but at 40 years old I’ve seen enough people remain completely stuck in their dysfunctional patterns to have very little faith in rehabilitation.

Everyone is grooming their kids for something. Most just do it passively. My kids have complete disinterest in sports, yet they play something 3 days a week and are getting better. This version of themselves will have a significant leg up

If they’re having a hard time making money I would think lesser of their parents who should have known better. Abdicating responsibility for your child’s education is not noble.

Cruel? Cruel is setting your kids up for a life of struggle because they never learned basic skills.

Coding is as fundamental as learning to spell. Some things you should force your kids to do for their own good.

Large systems want to centralize for the sake of efficiency. I was among the first wave of P2P hackers in the 2000s and we learned the hard way that decentralization leaves a LOT to be desired.

I’ve meditated a lot and come to the clear conclusion that this whole thing is just pattern matching and pattern generation. We’re not that special.

Most people that balk at the term A.I. seem to presume that intelligence is some capacity unique to humans. Intelligence is merely pattern matching and goal oriented planning, exactly what machine learning is doing today. Stop worrying and

Will someone please legally define "bullying" and "abusive"? This seems like another kangaroo court system in the making.
