As part of a large research organization, I was involved in multiple studies about increased traffic fatalities. This work began in 2020, and was part of a larger epidemiological e…

Does this extend to the GOP and DNC? They are both corporations, and politics may be a lot better if they were not able to advertise.

From Green Bay to Dickinson, the complete utterance is “Op Sorry.” If one is not in a hurry it is sometimes “Oops, Sorry.”

Usefulness is here, and has been for a while time. I have been consistent in my stance that AGI will be achieved in the demonstration of iterative, stable self improvement. This ca…

More automation may lead to more freedom in open ended exploration, stemming the dramatic decline that has happened in exploration. That would be a fantastic result. And there is a…

Its rot13 encoding to avoid spoilers.

To add to the collection of anecdata, your experience is similar to mine. I have been more exhausted recently by the complaints of AI submissions and pseudo analysis of AI comments…

This is how I learned to code as a young age. I typed in every single program they had. The most challenging was the hex-based music machine they printed, which was difficult as so…

Re: Mark. I agree. It surprised me to no end that he knew the staffing and open headcount of every team. I was a manager for most of my tenure, but his interactions with Lars, Chri…

You should have talked to them instead of assuming it was out of necessity. My parents retired in n social security ten years ago. Most of their friends are doing fine with savings…

Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford were all autodidacts, and their contributions to society are beyond imagination. You bring up a good point though, and the two direct…

IMHO, Libertarianism fails not by collapse but by success. Any movement in the direction brings economic and social freedom, but in turn creates soft times in which a society's pen…

Another reason is that the harm can often be quantified and remedy easily justified.

Corruption. It’s interesting how it happens across all human activity. There are mechanisms to reduce it, such as strict penalties (Singapore) or moving to a competitive for-profit…
