No they shouldn't because "death to" is simply a mistranslation. "Death to" is an idiom in Persian that means approximately "down with"- and in fact the official translation by the Iranian government itsel

"Bringing democracy" is a very weak ideological motivation. I would rather call it plausible deniability. As in "we're doing this to bring democracy" and people might be left with the doubt that it's true.

Next step: steering them. (As in Permutation City's "Operation Butterfly".)

An AI that thinks like its user seems an awful idea to me. It's exactly the sycophancy issue that everyone has been complaining about- a user that suffers of delusions or any sort of crackpot ideas can get them reinforced by such an AI

But then we agree. Some humans will behave that way. Then direct your anger against those who do so, instead of against those (the majority) who ask the questions, read and evaluate the answers, and forward them to you only if they think

You know what? If you post a question and I get a good answer from Claude, it means you haven't even been able to do the basic job of asking yourself. Not only you weren't able, you also expect me to reformat nicely the answer so

Why would I reformulate what Claude already explained in a way that I find satisfactory? Only to give you the impression that I came up with it myself? > if you give an answer, own it. Don't throw slop grenades. If I send you some t

No, it was a suitably nasty reply to someone who boasted of being nasty to colleagues trying to help. If your question can be answered by Claude, and you didn't ask Claude yourself, and when other people do it for you, you complain tha

I agree. However, since I work in a small team and everyone knows me, I don't need to provide this entire context every time. I usually just prepend "according to Claude ..." and try to provide a one line recap of the main po

If I asked a question to Claude, it's because I couldn't answer it myself, but also, because I used my skills and domain expertise to explain clearly the problem to Claude. And if I paste back to you an answer from Claude, it mean

Uh? I don't understand, are you saying that instead of asking Claude myself I should write a question for other people to do it? Which is by the way only the initial part of the work I described?

The value of the exercises you do in school (from sums to PhDs) is the learning you get from them. Good, because you need people to learn stuff, because the people that know stuff will be dead in a few years and you need to replace them. Ex

I've left the petro-states in the list because the fact that they have such high per-capita emissions is interesting even if not surprising, but I agree that as small countries they don't really contribute that much to global emis

I'd leave aside Memento as it's a small independent movie, very different from Nolan's movies from Inception on. I'm curious what you mean with "explores the thematic, cinematic and psychological meaning" of &q

Not at all. Most Kubrick's movies are illustrations of specific, well defined theses (for example about human ambition and violence) and the plots are tightly fit to that purpose. Nolan makes adventure movies where the plot is a succes

Of course the US are entirely responsible for their actions. They're doubly responsible because not only they engaged in a reckless and illegal war, but also because they did it out of subservience to another country. The US politician

How long to dissolve carved stone sculptures (in sizes ranging from 1cm to 100m?) And how long does it take to dissolve skin? Footprints? Because we have those from hundreds of millions of years ago.

No, the attack on Iran was simply instigated by Israel, which has been trying to push the US in a war with Iran since at least 20 years. Trump has a long history of doing what Israel wants- it's him who moved the US embassy to Jerusale
