No. Empathy is feeling what the person is feeling exactly the same way as if it happened to you. You really have to have already gone through something like what the person is going through. That’s why it’s so rare. What you’re describing i

If everything boils down to emotional states, then being empathetic just becomes, "I made the other person feel this emotion," i.e. sychophancy and flattery.

Your reply indicates that you don't know the difference between empathy and sycophancy either.

Fascinating. My gut tells me this touches on a basic divergence between human beings and AI, and would be a fruitful area of further research. Humans are capable of real empathy, meaning empathy which does not intersect with sycophancy and

Yep. If anything, it depresses the economy. Doesn't grow anything except the stock price of multinationals.

Exactly. It's a very cynical and corrupt game being passed off in the name of "innovation" and "competiton" XD

by tboyd47 1y ago
Exactly. It's not about talent at all. It's about using the strong arm of the government to give large multinationals an advantage in the tech market. Total grift and corruption!

I'm all for importing top talent to work at American companies. In fact, I think H1-Bs should be allowed to start businesses and move from job to job like anyone else. If it's about innovation, why force them to stay in one job wh

I put in my height of 6'0" and this is the advice I received: > Chair height: 18 - 19.5 in > Your thighs and feet should be parallel to the floor (thighs and lower legs forming 90°-110° angle). > Desk height: 27.5 - 30.5
