Dunno. I've lived in England sixty years and don't know anyone who went to jail apart from one who was the getaway driver for a robbery. I know a few who have done crimes but gotten away with it. Do you live there and know anyone

Oh dear. Hope he's ok. I got a lot of value out of FB-purity.

I was thinking or the period of terrorism in London, around the 1970s/80s when the south was independent. Issues between England and Ireland go back along way, to at least the 1169 invasion.

>The real scandal is how much capital the tech oligarchs have been able to raise on the promise of an automated, even transhumanist, future. Dunno. Why shouldn't they raise money for that? People can always not invest if they think

Being rich. "Anti-oligarchy initiatives" as he puts it. Sounds a tad socialist.

They couldn't because the majority in the north wanted to be part on the UK, and democracy.

Unlike Brazil the movie it's quite hard to actually end up in jail in the UK. The courts lean more towards letting criminals walk.

It has the advantage you can test what works in an A B testing kind of way.

I just looked it up and anti-vax arguments predate actual vaccines - they were used for variolation which was similar: >in a 1722 sermon entitled "The Dangerous and Sinful Practice of Inoculation", the English theologian Revere

AI will almost certainly get to be pretty intelligent. Whether the algo is LLM or something else doesn't matter that much. I note the term LLM doesn't appear in Zuck's thing.

China's actually been a leader in relatively open source LLMs. As long as you don't ask about Tiananmen.

I'd dispute there is a UK war on anonymity just because they've tried to stop showing kids porn and the like. The UK has always been kind of pro anonymity - there was ID during WW2 but it was scrapped after. There have been revolt

I think it's more they may copy the idea. Kinda like the US version of The Office.

I'm with you on Zitron being a bit challenged in the knowing what he's talking about department. I think he's implying the money in AI is all spending from OpenAI+Anthropic who get it from investors. But those two have annual

I'd say there's more. AI has been a staple of sci-fi and movies, a major field of academic research since Turing in the 1950s, predicted to be a big deal by major thinkers like John von Neumann, taken as a big deal by all the larg

tl;dr most of it but at the end: >To outsource even the smallest bit of composition to AI is to participate in one’s own dehumanization. There is no gain in efficiency that is worth this sacrifice. As Rousseau would have recognized, the

There's a kind of inconsistency in that he ends the video talking about overpriced stocks and how it's hard to short them but the title is about the $1.75tn in debt which seems to mostly be from professional investors, apparently:

People may pay less than they are willing to pay as competition drives the price down. I paid $20/mo a while which I was happy with but I found I could get similar for free so pay $0 now.

It's about intention. I don't want someone threatening or evil going through my info but don't mind stuff being public in general, like this comment for example.
