They allow self publishing so they are already flooded with junk. I don’t see the problem though since it’s not like you have to actually dig through a pile of books when you have a search engine and can get recommendations from other sourc

The things you mentioned have been tried in several wealthy countries and they don’t work. Even if they did, they require a lot of societal wealth to implement and once the global population starts declining so will the economic output and

No, a good thing would be at the least holding steady at replacement levels (2.1). Where we’re at and the rest are heading, we’re seriously fucked. If you don’t think so then answer this: how are we going to get fertility rates back up to r

I’m amazed you haven’t heard of this before now. The entire West has had a fertility rate below replacement for decades and now even China has joined the party and India is going to be there really soon. The way Africa is developing they pr

Being amazing at prototypes is exactly what a one dev operation needs. You can worry about scaling after you know whether people will pay for it or not.

As always, you still have to bring your own ideas and hustle to the table. The difference is that GPT flattens the learning curve on a lot of things that would previously prevent you from executing on your ideas and it helps keep the moment

Wide adoption of longevity tech is necessary to prevent population collapse. AI also doesn’t seem like it’s going to stay cooped up for long, there’s a solid chance that open source projects beat OpenAI to the punch as well if scaling is no

The ironic thing about lesswrong is that it’s quite the opposite in some fantastically oblivious ways.

I dunno, everyone pivoted to AI because it’s clearly a massive force multiplier but they’re all bringing those gains back to whatever they were working on previously. I’ve already seen some great uses of AI generated voices, scripts, textur

Yes and the material irradiated by the explosion itself is not very dangerous after a few weeks especially if you’re in a hermetically sealed space suit that prevents you from ingesting any of it. After 1 to 5 years there’d be very little l

The bomb itself doesn’t have to touch the meteor but you do want it as close as possible so the radiative energy from the explosion doesn’t fall off too much. If there’s enough time you would want to build a bomb that acts like a shaped cha

Just put down your phone. Or better yet, just use the smolnet sites that already exist. If you pine for the days of a small, nerdy and exclusive internet then just go there it’s just a few clicks away.

The point is that the roles are reversed not that you give ChatGPT to the stakeholders. ChatGPT is a programmer you hire for $30/month and you act as its manager or tech lead. This is pointless to argue though since it’s apparent there

Not exactly sure why you bring this up but tangentially this is actually a really good prompt to use with GPT. Ask it a question but tell it to list the known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns before replying. The unknown unknowns
