Since you asked my opinion, I will say that it is nuanced and have thought a lot about these topics. People need to have the power to influence their government and the government …

LiquidAI LFM models are amazing, but very situational. IBM Granite series are also unique and interesting for trying to reduce liability and extend local context size. Nvidia ships…

There are many things that can have some decent level of automatic verification and those were some of the first for LLMs to excel at, like math and programming. Now, physics invol…

Or are humans more of a bottleneck than before, because to improve on the most complex problems that demonstrate intelligence you need some way to verify that they are correct. If …

I've already seen all those quotes and interviews. You're mischaracterizing them. He's probably not wrong that you have to be a certain kind of person that can stomach the inherent…

Ok, so that's one reason. It's not the only reason, because we don't commit so many assets for simply one reason. It usually requires many simultaneous overlapping reasons for us t…

If killing people is gross (which I agree with), then we should kill the people that kill the people, right? Or should people that kill people run rampant, because nobody should ev…

It is completely logically unsupportable that the war is pointless, so your claim is so flat and empty that there is no need to do anything other than point out that weakness in yo…

If you don't understand history or what's going on in the world, everything will seem pointless and you will fall easy prey to anyone telling you what you should believe. You have …

The problem is that China, Russia, Iran and so on have all been accelerating their weapons manufacturing. Go complain to them. If nobody in the world was manufacturing any weapons …

I do think this is an interesting topic. You can take the perspective that the government shouldn't have a monopoly on approving who can communicate over the airwaves so long as th…

This propaganda against Palmer Luckey completely lacks any critical thinking. Then again, I guess all propaganda is targeted at people who aren't critical thinkers to start with, s…

He's not a war profiteer, he's a peace profiteer. His philosophy is peace through strength, not profit through death. He even strongly emphasizes saving lives through weapons with …

It's about communism, World War 3, Israel _and_ Iraq _and_ Saudi Arabia _and_ UAE and other Middle-Eastern countries, it's about nuclear proliferation, it's about oil trade outside…

Nima is a theoretical physicist and many of them have diverged away from hard science. Hard science needs to connect and relate back to classical physics mathematically and ideally…

Is this a misunderstanding of what the double slit experiment actually means, or am I misinterpreting it? If this is based on the idea that reality changes strictly as a result of …

> Which ones? FONAV is not restored to the Strait, attacks on shipping have not been eliminated Neither of those were primary or secondary goals, we didn't even attack Iran for tho…

Some of your logic isn't exactly wrong, though just because someone can walk away doesn't mean they have to or want to. I simply mean that for the US alone from an isolationist sta…

> It looks like a liability, if the US's assault on Iran is any basis to go off-of. All the "frontier" AI in the world isn't helping the US win a brushfire war, it's a bit embarras…

I never mentioned Tesla and I don't know about their specifics, but my point stands as correct. The average fatalities per 100 million miles driven in the US is between 1.1 and 1.3…

You have the entire internet at your fingertips, so you are free to investigate for yourself. Some things about China will be propaganda, some things about Israel will be propagand…

The US isn't Israel. We have criticized and questioned Israeli attacks on numerous occasions. Privately and openly. The US can make mistakes or misuse/abuse technology as well, but…

Vietnam and Iraq were both unpopular wars in their own ways, so they don't seem like good examples if you're trying to find examples of what US citizens support. Also, a country su…

That's not accurate. AI can help the military increase precision which can also save civilians lives in other countries where the military is active. AI is not intentionally target…

Cars can be used to escape, or to attack. Guns and knives can be used to defend or to attack. AI has multiple uses. Military attacks can also save lives. As they say, the best defe…
