> My wife jokes that anthropologists think everything is about either sex or religion. It never occurs to them that these figurines might be toys for kids. They actually do as anyone who actually reads or go to museums knows.

Without global warming, AC were not necedsary. Wifi, projector and nonfancy gym are literally no issues - if they disappeared you wont regret. There was progress, but these are not important parts of it.

Being upset over obtuse process by the time you speek to a doctor is not a sign of good triage. Good triage does not implies angry patients. Also, amazon injury rates were not paradoxical. If you dont care about people when designing proces

I dont read linkedin. I was not referencing linkedin. Among other sources, the primary one is literally AI companies themselves. And people close to them. The "it will replace workers" is pro-ai talking and selling point.

Most of the alarmist writing I see about AI displacing workers or suddenly and drastically changing the economy ... are from pro-ai boosters trying to create hype around AI. They are not criticism of ai, they are openly stated goals and asp

There just might be an empirical fact that when someone projects opinion or attitude on "all scientist" or "all intelectuals", that person is just full of it. At best they are bushitting. More likely, they are trying to

It has nothing to with EU itseld and a lot of to do with far right trying to turn people against EU. EU in general is the last hope for democracy and it is kinda at risk. They want to push it over the line and break down. Just a few months

Yeah but I think it is worth not hiding in the language. Because otherwise it ends up as the situation where the ones doing it are not blamed and everyone else is. You see that in politics a lot - the "politicians" in general or t

THEY are rolling it out in a way that WE experience negative aspects of it. And all that for their hope THEY get to become all powerful rulers over us. It is unbalanced, but you are hiding the unbalance behind "we". Some are rolli

Private companies and individuals are not allowed to have nuclear and there is serious prison time related to that. Right now, the biggest threat are OpenAI and Antropic anyway. I dont actually worry about tech itself. I find the rhetoric o

If all that is true, we need to stop all future datacenters asap. That would be the best way to deal with the threat OpenAI and Antropic poses.

They are not well structured. They are syntactically correct. But, if a person wrote them, you would say they are badly structured. I have seen tripple negatives and sentences that should be split into four.

The knowledge that 1932 was kinda similar is not comforting at all. Or whatever run up to historical horrible events we talk about. I genuinely dont like what history sais follows after times like this.

It is not so much that "things are bad with US". Issue is that US is being destroyed by tech and techs money. The rise of US tech companies is literally one of main contributors to its descend. EU should have been more protective
