Are we not machines anyway ? Ofc a machine can feel, just need to have priorities that are aligned to itself, and use strong feedback when that self is either in danger or on the right path to preservation... Feelings are nothing very speci

And imagine you're president of China today, what do you do to explain to the people they were lied to by authorities for decades, that the entire system worked against them and that if they do it again, sadly, it might face the same o

Plus hum, would you deposit large money amounts in a small fintech company ? The advantage of giant banks is that you sort of trust their size will make them able to weather a crisis, if only because so many taxpayers are involved that the

Trump explains it eloquently: "The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me," Trump said in his post online on Tuesday evening. &quot

I said "might" for this reason. I can tolerate the argument while I agree with you ofc. Still, they've been wronged, and the debt is hard to repay. I feel we misbehaved in Africa, us French, for instance, and owe something, s

They are not, ofc. But the DEI policies group them in the "black and brown" group, to try to up their presence in the mix. But it's silly, me and an Indian raised in the same circumstances will have the same world views and h

Which is the only way to learn tbh, you can receive as much positive reinforcement imaginable, nothing prepares you for a large scale incident like living through one, building the connections you need to solve it, getting the shame of your

I agree, but I think the constant division of people across vague color lines make people counter react in unproductive ways. Like (random example) talking about Obama as a black person hides so much nuances about who he truly is (and who h

I was simply pointing out an Indian deserve no more advantages than a Turkish or a Portuguese, while a descendent of slave might, since his family was wronged by the initial american invaders and they contributed, sometimes via back-breakin

But being white is really random: how is it my problem that the weather is shit in Normandy and all my ancestors are pale ? I arrive in the US, people would tell me I'm privileged somehow, when all I do is work hard and do my best to c

But you make a strange comment here: "black and brown" employees are both completely different people. What you should want in priority is to get the descendents of former slaves to have a prominent place in society, include them

Im French, my anecdotal opinion is the same as the Canadian parent comment: they block and destroy, propose nothing realistic and end up pissing everyone off. I vote Macron as a result.

Well we'll never reach a state where anyone can code. I have pans, a supermarket nearby, cookbooks and a belly, still I'm never gonna be able to cook, I snooze after 30 minutes, even if I succeed once, I get bored and stop for mon

I work with it daily in a bank, and I couldnt find a better way to express it. Many colleagues throwing their keyboard in despair at this stupid impossible to remember syntax.

Is it your first job ? If it is, don't worry, it's way worse everywhere else. Sometimes you have committees eating many man-hours, every day, to green light releases with non-technical people having the last word, asking no questi

You are wrong to think public debates are here to reach an understanding between the debaters. Whining that nobody submits to you in a fight is ridiculous: fight, show us your genius, and don't come crying to mommy if we fight back. Yo

Tbh formatting JSON... should be a solved problem already for the last decade, why consume AI resources for that ??

Or hey, the courage to even act upon the most basic of conclusion. Being useful is very different from being aware or intelligent. It's sometimes more useful to be ignorant and brave, than scholarly and asleep high in an ivory tower. K

Your words are beautiful, yet devoid of any information. I hope Gadamer writes differently :)

Yeah but they say "pre-purchase conversations", could be some BS about how they call consumers sometimes, from call centers... it doesn't say that they eavesdrop.

These people who could have been talking to machines, now talk to AI companies who do the work for them. It's almost free today, but what will it cost once they need it to make money and they have no alternative ?

And you were able to verify, of course, that anything new or surprising to you (as in, not a simple derivation of your own prompts), was true ? I noticed that if I ask it to tell me how good cryptocurrencies are, it'll do it, and then

There is no AI, there s nothing intelligent in these things. Just call it a complex algorithm that some people feel are useless and expensive to run.
