From Wikipedia: "In 2023, former Italian prime minister Giuliano Amato said that France downed the plane while targeting a Libyan military jet in an attempt to kill Muammar Gaddafi…

Already quite a while ago I was entertained by a particular British tabloid article, which had been "AI edited". Basically the article was partially correct, but then it went badly…

Yep. If the Swedish government really cared about children, they would do something to stop the massive underage gang violence problem the country has. 12 year olds being used as h…

I've always wondered how big of a part Soviet Union / Russia psych ops played in stirring this completely irrational anti-nuclear mentality. The side-effect of getting Germany hook…

They are revolutionary for use cases where hallucinated / wrong / unreliable output is easy and cheap to detect & fix, and where there's enough training data. That's why it fits pr…

I tend to agree with you. If what Putin has done so far doesn't cause a massive internal revolt, then selling what they've gained by now as a victory shouldn't be too hard either. …

Generally the US does a pretty good job training and keeping their grunt soldiers alive, and evacuating them if wounded. Russia really hasn't done well in these aspects if we look …

Well, it should be noted that the helicopter in question was designed to be used by an organization that couldn't care less about loss of life, as we have again seen in recent year…

Too much sun exposure is definitely bad, because it increases likelihood of skin cancer. Moderation is the key.

Nuclear has its role to play when the weather isn't windy or sunny, at least until storage technology gets good enough. Especially in Northern parts of the world it's a big deal, b…

Russians do plenty of jamming that expands beyond their borders in the Baltic, either on purpose or just as a spillover as they don't care. Before Finland joined NATO they used to …

Have there actually been advances in robotics that could make them mainstream, or is the progress still painfully slow? I think robotics would be the next logical step after AI hyp…

Server-grade motherboards that have been widely used for a long time sounds like a legitimate product business. Whether or not they have long-lasting competitive advantage, that is…

IMO humans are quite well equipped for manual labor, much more so than for most office jobs. Millions of years of evolution perfected us for eye-motor coordination, not writing cod…

I agree. Specialists who understand (or even do) cutting edge research will be in demand, because LLM's need existing data to train on for good performance. People who can talk to …

Only if you provide an alternative way for the newly unemployed to earn a living. Otherwise you just get crime, hunger and eventually war.

It's absolutely fascinating how differences in brain structure can cause a wide variety of conditions. Somehow I was linguistically (especially reading and writing) way above avera…

I agree. It's likely common that children with ADHD or autism diagnosis also have parents with such condition, but they were simply never diagnosed. At least in my family's case it…

Soon the cheapest Ikea sofa I could find in 2015 (about 200 $) has lasted me a decade. Sure, the cover worn is worn out and covered with another textile for that reason, but it's s…

If we got universal basic income, people could do whatever they want. I for one would be content spending my time gardening and trekking in the nature. I despise office work and do…

Yep, if automation really accelerates there are two ways to prevent the collapse of the economic system as we know it now. Either invent lots bullshit jobs, or create universal bas…

I predict that rich people will continue to pay for a real psychologist to get genuine human contact. Meanwhile, the big masses of poorer people will eventually get to enjoy LLM-po…

Yes, I think nursing is perfect purely from a "not being replaced" perspective. An absolutely massive demand from aging population with lots of money, requires physical movement, e…

Some forms of art will be more protected than others. Think of somebody who builds unique artwork by hand 100% from random wood and other material found in the nature. Good luck ha…

Motor/hand eye coordination most definitely. That's what millions of years evolution has optimized us for more than anything else. Anything involving manipulating and movement in v…
