What can stop Google is building the wrong thing, or being so scared to launch anything that they smother their own fledgling products before they are born or before they can mature. Their product and finance and accounting teams should be

Yes, Tsinghua is the Harvard of China. It would be weird if Stanford research came up with a breakthrough but the headline merely stated "US". Let's begin to treat Chinese universities as a non-monolith.

I'm going to go ahead and suggest you don't make a proclamation of safety (about a product associated with severe lung disease) followed immediately by "mostly a guess".

In an ideal world, manufacturers would begin to phase out the use of PFAS as waterproofing, which many already are. An alternative would be Nikwax, waxed canvas, or polyurethenate-coatings or TPU coatings. These alternatives are already use

No you are not. Because "it should be obvious: ____" is a handwave with zero evidence, it's a projection on the part of the author. Insert power, insert sex, insert greed, insert idealism, insert black and white thinking, ins

That's not really a great encapsulation of the AI safety that those who think AGI poses a thread to humanity are referring to. The bigger concern is something like Paperclip Maximizer. Alignment is about how to ensure that a super inte

Sewage is easy when population size is small. When you have a lot of people in an area, you start running out of places to dig a hole and shit in it pretty quickly. You'll be surprised how often you'll start digging and find someo
