Yes and no. Sports with young kids typically don't get too intense outside of the occasional psycho coach or parent. American football in particular of course does have a nasty CTE/TBI hazard by nature—which IMHO should render it

I find it more depressing than anything. It's looking like short-term societal/economic shock and existential risk on the long term. Nonproliferation is really hard to do with software. Of course, it's also been nice having a

That coin may have a promising career ahead. You should foster its potential and mentor it.

This tracks with my experience as well. It's not perfect and can be a little frustrating at times, but the capability provided is extremely powerful to the point of being game-changing. It can pretty much augment any workflow in a net-

AI of course has the potential for good—even in the hands of random people—I'll give you that. Problem is, if it only takes one person to end the world using AI in a malevolent fashion, then I think human nature there is unfortunately

> Between 2017 and early 2020, Grindr was selling precise location data to ad brokers. Well, that's quite scummy. Tends to enable bad actors in the first place. In January 2016, Grindr announced that it had sold a 60% stake in the

Ask if the dog bites, and if so what to do to avoid that. Some dogs are super sweet but they may otherwise maul you in very specific circumstances. Examples include handling them the wrong way (e.g. trying to pick them up), or guarding beha

I'd argue the first snap occurred years prior, proximate to A16Z's heavy investment in crypto. Web3 was part two. Moreover, even associating with Neumann after the antics he pulled is nuts.
