"Is that the case, though?" Hard to make a case in 2026 that you can be oblivious to the potential of AI to do unexpected things that could impact other people. "Did people know th…

But if you told an embodied AI to do a home cleaning task knowing it's a possibility it will decide to pick up a gun and start spraying bullets, then society has an interest in hol…

Central NJ (if you believe it exists) is cheaper depending on the particular town but yeah, not being given away by any means. https://www.zillow.com/home-values/11267/edison-nj/ h…

[1] is... a read (sounds like a nightmare student, or research prof, or both). A dumb question but by my reading, that work took place 35 years ago, has there not been anything mor…

I work in the public sector and my work supports public health and safety initiatives. What does "support" mean in this context?

So if millions of people pay for something it must be helping average people but if 10s of millions of average people express concerns about a thing than what? I would assume since…

"I understand the frustration with the constant PR-hype these AI labs keep spewing out" Apparently you don't. "These are real problems mathematicians and computer scientists have b…

The framing of this entire issue is just wrong. "Today the reflex is back." To do what? Ban export of AI? Are you sure? Because it seems, so far, there has been some personal motiv…

I'm not sure what sanctions you are thinking about but generally if you want to be beyond the legal reach of a nation state or group of nation states, you just set up a server in a…

The one thing I enjoy about our AI goldrush driven economy is all the cartoonish cash grabs coming out of the woodwork to try and part investors from their money. 1. 4-5x faster de…

I'm not a scholar of Greek history but as layman, I thought it was good and good enough to recommend. Visually it is quite beautiful and despite what the review states it does have…

Is their "greyness" between gambling and day trading? Sure. Prediction markets are obviously, blatantly, gambling. There is no "greyness", we've skipped the slippery slope and gone…

"The purpose of a college degree is NOT a job" Check the marketing literature for any college and you will find that is not true. The only people doing degrees for knowledge and pr…

Just to add, the primary failure mode of critical jet engine components is fatigue. To see, and thus learn, from fatigue failures in the field you need thousands of components flyi…

It's kinda opposite in a way. More countries make military engines than commercial engines because military engines don't have to worry as much about efficiency, pollution, sound, …

I strongly believe college is oversold but mostly because kids are told they just need to get "any degree", which is a blatant lie. It can totally be worth it if you are objectivel…

But a big reason people only stay two years because we have had decades of companies gutting every incentive to stay somewhere longterm. Whether or not companies should or shouldn'…

Weak junior hiring is due to: - Longtime trends of companies trying to externalize training costs. - Avoiding hiring in general due to uncertainty in the economy. - Companies dumpi…
