There will always be scarcity for goods whose value is derived from their scarcity. Maybe food won't be scarce (we wre actually very close to that) and shelter may not be scarce but, even if you invent the replicator, there will still

I'm not confused at all. Your own personal definitions just further my point that tech people have a much different classification system that the general populous and that the need for those excessive classifications is that way ambit

I absolutely believe that's the origin of the hype and that the doomsayers are playing the same part, knowingly (exaggerating the capability to get eyeballs) but there are certainly true believers out there. It's pretty plain to s

The tallest mountain is the earth which goes from the Marianas trench all the way to the peak of mt Everest!

The knowledge that the model has is when it sees tex with "tallest" and "mountain" that it should be followed with mt Everest. Unless it also has "list", in which case, it makes a list.

I'm not disputing that. I'm just pushing back against the casual suggestion (not by you) to just go spend $200. No doubt that you should ask you employer for the tools you want/need to do your job but plenty of us are using t

Yes, I did. Not everybody has their own product that might benefit from a $200 subscription. Most of us work for someone else and, unless that person is paying for the subscription, the _value_ it adds is irrelevant unless it results in bet

Value is irrelevant. What's the return on investment you get from spending $200? Collecting value doesn't really get you anywhere if nobody is compensating you for it. Unless someone is going to either pay for it for you or give y

This was my takeaway as well. The pdf says there's a 95% accept rate on their takedown requests. They use that as evidence of censorship but, to me, that looks like evidence of judicious requests that meta agrees with. Without data on

Why not set the minimum wage at $50? Why not set $20 for everyone? More money in employees pockets means more jobs and more disposable income, after all.

It's not a given but Altman is a public figure for a reason while I don't know the names of any of the other CEOs off the top of my head. He talks a lot and when he talks, it's about AI. Even talking about the dangers of AI i

Now why would the CEO of an AI company say something like that!?

how would that change your actions? Would it make you feel better about your business failing?

It's not supposed to create new jobs, that's not what people say. Technology makes jobs more efficient, reducing the amount of human labor required. That makes whatever product that was being made cheaper. Now people have mire mon

Now all the money that went to to public safety initiatives from the general fund can go elsewhere. Money turns out to be fungible. Any time a tax/fee/fine is earmarked for something, it doesn't mean that thing gets more fund

If I told you billions of people eat bread, sugar and pasta and it wasn't "basically killing them" (whatever that means)... It's strange to make the culprit of a modern epidemic foods that have been with us for millenia.

Is it your view that the improvements have been accelerating or constant? In my view, improvements have been becoming both less frequent and less impressive.
