Skepticism is fine, but you come across as incredibly sheltered. Also, the very embodiment of the belief system that the article is pointing at. > This dude's car breaks down and he gives up on university? That is life-changing when

Humanity is a Type I civilisation. It has energy constraints. AI coding runs at hundreds of watts, and more capable agents consume more. That is paid, today, from capex, provided by the biggest bubble in human history. I can deliver your fa

You mean: datacentres are an obvious kill switch. Politically, how do you see that decision being made? You are president. You spent millions on your social media campaign. Can you say "Faustian bargain"? Agreed, Terminator will n

I would absolutely support that position if it were compatible with observable reality. My family and school failed to stop me getting my hands on booze, fags, drugs, and porn. Teenagers are fundamentally not controllable. The Amish and the

The idea that "stop the trolley" or "slay the dragon" is cost-free is a wish. You've merely added a third horn to the dilemma. "Someone brave attempts to jump onto the moving trolley, risking their own neck&quo

I think you're optimistic about the overlap between "people who tit about with guns" and "people who absorb education". I dread the outcome of practical safety lessons because, the moment you give a classroom guns,

I do family tech support. Hardware refresh is driven by facebook adware js knobbery. Proof-of-work bot countermeasures, too, although i don't really resent that. If you run noscript then yeah, why not keep rocking your pentium.

My buddy was driven out of Lubbock on threat of violence because he was wearing his burning man gear of black trousers, black coat, and black top hat. No satanic imagery. He is both an atheist and British, so they were accidentally correct.
