No virtue signaling? In the social media age? How else would I get upvoted to the top of the comment section? But then they don’t have no issue giving money to powerful people that likely don’t share their righteous worldview.

Yeah, unreasonable deadlines (these are the norm) spent trying to untangle a mass of overly verbose spaghetti code, and chances are there is no budget for you to do it properly, they contracted you only for a ‘bugfix’. It’s just more techni

There's two ways to read my comment. I believe you read it along the lines of "you need to be rich to start a business". What I meant was that if you're rich you don't need any trade school or to run a business, you

As usual, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The onus to prove LLMs are conscious is on you making the claim. And if you say we don’t even know what consciousness is, how can you then attribute to an entity? Definitionally

I’m not a pessimist, I am fundamentally an anarchist. Government is bad, lobbies are bad and both get exponentially worse the larger the country. That’s why Singapore is more governable than the USA. Things can certainly improve, but I have

I hope this is Larry Ellison's account otherwise the naivety on display in your comment is what I would expect from a preteen that hasn't ever watched the news. We live in a world of greed and corruption, but magically the powers

It's really funny (and a bit obnoxious) to watch the vocabulary from the outside. In 2023 everybody learned the word moat , then it's been agent(ic) , from last year there's more talking about harnesses than at a bungee j

So you’re pinning your hopes on immigration, which you have been cracking down on hard, on the US military-industrial complex to start (and win ) another war to fix your economical woes AND on boomers to stop being greedy and encroaching t

These pop-sci articles annoy me greatly. All I can think reading the title is “well, duh?” - they’re a complete tautology. Let me explain: if an event or behaviour affects a person, it means that there must be a physical record of it. The
