I completely agree. I have many, many friends who are commercial illustrators, and many of them are very anti-AI now due to popularity of DALLE. They feel that they've been cheated out of a job. I'm an artist and a software engine

There has got to be an option for a fleece-like material that doesn't involve significant pollution or significant animal suffering. At some point, fleece has just gotta be phased out if we can't produce it without enormous downsi

I genuinely cannot tell if this is real still. Like, I want to believe you, but this person is basically doing the best Michael Scott impersonation I’ve ever seen.

The first edition of this book played such a huge role in me learning to program, and thus set the stage for (likely) the rest of my life. Daniel Shiffman has probably had that influence on many, many, many people. To this day, I recommend

The author's description of dissociation resonated with me, as I experienced a solid month or so of intense dissociation when I was 17, and the only way to describe it is by saying I _knew_ I was in a dream. It was terrifying, and came

The morality of our actions isn’t determined by what lions do. As for the tree hypothetical, why don’t we cross that bridge when we get there.

Treating an animal well sometimes does not mean that the animal was treated well. It's nice that the cows you're talking about are given lots of access to pastures, but that doesn't mean that anything else can be done to the

I'm not disagreeing, but this answer is ironic considering how Ilya Sutskever once used detective work as a way to describe the relationship between LLMs and "understanding": "So, I’d like to take a small detour and to g

Well said. My wife is a therapist who works extensively with children and she would absolutely agree with you. Letting a child cry it out has profound effects of development, in ways that may be invisible or hard to notice for many years. S

I read a couple articles on it when you first mentioned it. I see what you're saying, I just don't think it applies in this case. I think you're either trying to say that outrage over great evil is either always unwarranted,

I think the majority of the first part of what you've said is mostly captured in "you act like you think you can teach others but they can't teach you", so I'll respond to that first: I am open to being taught, I ju

Let's set aside the enormous debate that could be had around whether or not killing an animal "humanely" is ever actually possible, and instead assume it is for the sake of argument. Do you think that the person who originall

Who is gatekeeping? I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy. And if you're definition of gatekeeping includes merely pointing at that contributing to the subjugation of animals in our food system is in fact unnecessary suffering, th
