I don't know that I'd throw a whole field under the bus like that (I'm reminded of similar accusations against students of sociology and gender studies) but I acknowledge this auth…

Wow, I was 100% convinced this was written by AI. I maintain that this article is eerily similar to something produced by an LLM, but maybe I need to reexamine my priors. - The "co…

It certainly seems probable this was the case for some groups. In general though, this just seems like a view that oversimplifies human history to critique the present rather than …

The version of the claim I believed is that Sub-Saharan Africans (especially as of ~2000 years ago) basically don't have any Neanderthal DNA. Your follow-up doesn't appear to contr…

https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/ Of course, any AI smart enough to apocalypse us would also know about these.

It was nice of you to add that stable era to the submission URL. It was good while it lasted. Oh well, Time to DEHYDRATE

>The modern American self is best defined by two Enlightenment thinkers who never met but have been arguing in our heads ever since. This reads to me a little like: "The distracted…

I don't see your points as necessarily in conflict with the article at all. The diminishing power differential between regional/great powers seems to be exactly in line with what's…

> Our vision is simple: we want to create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new AI infrastructure every week. If a tenth of this happens, and we don't build a new power plan…

Let's ignore the headline itself for a moment and try to take the rest of the article at face value. The idea that is being plainly communicated here is that there's a single syste…

I read through this book relatively recently and agree with the praise here for the core idea that legacy code is code that is untested. The first few chapters are full of pretty s…

The OP did ask that first question, but to me it read as being more rhetorical so that we could maybe get specific answers about what in the DSM-5 would have been written different…

True, and sure their ways of life were largely alien to us, but I'm confident that our more modern static assumptions can and should outlive us THIS time.

The paper explicitly states that global population decline is not being projected. Obviously that can't be true "forever" assuming that trends never reverse, but their scope is jus…

It's a fair ask, my honest considerations: - Tiktok: "I don't want or need this" -> Delete forever. - Pixelfed: "I don't want or need this" -> Don't install. - Instagram: "Still ge…

So then the only theoretical limit on black hole mass would just be how fast you can put matter in black holes and/or merge existing black holes versus how fast the universe expand…

Sure, but assuming humans are just "naturally" polygynous doesn't explain the actual observed range of human behavior or the Y-chromasome bottleneck I just mentioned.

Baseless wild speculation time: I don't think the timing quite matches up, but the Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck is a little close to this. What if radiation from the sun actua…

That's a good framing to explain a possible state of mind I hadn't considered, but I would say that this isn't even close to the caliber of question that would prompt the average h…

It's not the initial mistake that tends to read as inhuman to me, it's the follow-up responses where the model doesn't seem to be able to understand or articulate the mistake it ha…

I don't know about it being a feature, but humans can definitely make the same mistake, and the follow-up here admittedly doesn't seem too egregious. To me it's still a little "off…

Yeah this is the issue with the prompt, it also slips up humans who gloss over "cousin". I'm assuming that pointing this out leads you the human to reread the prompt and then go "a…

>A man and his cousin are in a car crash. The man dies, but the cousin is taken to the emergency room. At the OR, the surgeon looks at the patient and says: “I cannot operate on hi…

The article does say "precisely 21cm" in the subtitle, repeats it in the "key takeaways" section, and then close to the end of the article these's this: >By measuring light of prec…
