I understand that some people find this a hopeless gesture. But I think anybody who thinks "losing jobs" or "China" is a bad outcome from AI is hopelessly lost. The upside of AI if done right - nobody ever having to work

This is only going to be remotely effective if the workers aren't aware he's CEO. Heck even the franchise-owner is going to have the store cleaned probably, ask his friends to come by and compliment the store.

Well I think climate change is objective fact, but this link is wildly emotional. "Final Warning" "act now or it's too late" sounds like a late-night infomercial selling me something. If I were running the report I&

Eh, I think people are okay, they just line to whine and moan. Certain groups of people do that (and sometimes exclusively that). Lots of old people just love to rant about bad the worlds getting (and always have). Or other people love to c

I feel like a lot of people are taking a very emotional stance on this. Everything I learned about coding I learned through new mediums (software/internet) myself, no human in the loop. Just a bit of a generalization.

I've written a blog on/off over 10 years. It hasn't paid off in any form to my awareness. I rarely put ideas past draft anymore, but sometimes you have things worth saying even when you don't know anybody who cares to he

I almost get that, but the more I think about it the more unreasonable it sounds. If I put 1 bullet in a revolver and spun the chamber, would I feel afraid to pull the trigger with the gun to my head? I wouldn't really know that I was

Definitely did for me, but I also wonder if I learned the limitations/weaknesses of the AI too much that it would break the immersion.

yeah I guess that checks out assuming you're committed to never having a family and I guess you won't have much of a safety net. Still to get to a 425 nest-egg starting with nothing in the bank at age 30 requires putting $10k away

I know people who "do fine" in NYC making ~40k by which they mean they "pay all their bills." Unfortunately they are NOT on track to have >1.5million saved up by retirement (as is projected to be necessary).

Well they have some money in the bank, but culturally nobody thinks meta is the future (within USA at least). There is massive mistrust of their brand and any product they could ever make (be it lack of privacy or giving a terrible experien

Well, you get no severance if you quit, but if you sit at your desk and watch youtube all day you get a "pip" and 3 or more months paid time off if they let you go.

Well, if the first AGI is made in a closed controlled simulation honeypot (which it believes isn't a honeypot) and it immediately starts hacking everything then we'll at least have confirmation how immediately dangerous it can be.

Maybe the standard banking model is broken. Banks offer a theoretical guarantee of the ability withdraw your money at any time and then just hope the situation that prevents that doesn't happen. Perhaps they should require your conse

Despite the provocative title this seems well-intentioned. The scientific accuracy needs to be top-priority, these particular elements of the projections should be assessed and reevaluated if necessary.

I believe we perceive time as "accelerating" because we make fewer memories (just because the brain is less flexible). The perceptual "length" of year is actually how many things we can remember happening in that year. I

I guess the idea is that if I described a static process to an AI, like multiplication, as we have it wired up right now, it wouldn't be able to remember what I told it for years. I agree this is true, and that it will be a breakthroug

We should just require AIs to be "employed" and "taxed" at an alternate minimum wage, which should then be served as a stipend to the general population. Essentially there will only be more resources to go around, as lon

This is an awful article. It offers no hard science, and functions at best like an ad for something which could very-well be dangerous. It's nice to know the "miracle cure fad" of the day, but I'd expect a more nuanced a

It's not really research unless it's blind. Plus who knows what long-term side-effects may come up down the road (some people were discussing cancer risk of BPC one peptide reddit thread)

If people are serious about rooting out people who lie or cheat to appear on-target (beneath them in the management chain) they need employ anonymous whistleblowing straight up to them. But I think many people in charge see the corruptness

I think the iron-man argument is -- wouldn't it be much less a waste of everybody's time here if we never posted mice articles, and only waited until they go to the human stage to share/discuss them? Of course it's a fre

I'll build on that. It seems to me like the intentionally-obscure writing of somebody trying to show they are big-brained by making writing that is hard to understand: hard words, unnecessary metaphors, leaps of logic, long-winded.
