What is the evidence that makes you think so?

> The problem is the lack of proper sexual education in schools and open dialogue in society because we're limited by Christian taboos to only ever mentioning abstinence until marr…

Stephen Wolfram has just lost his wife. I'd like to assume the poster did not know that.

I'm fine with regulating AI. I'd note that saying something in a poll is cheap talk whereas paying 20$ a month is not. But I can understand e.g. that people may derive value from t…

This seems like the right place to put https://youtu.be/KfWyo2mqXnw?si=EeYGdpA2BJ_xOzLi

Really? "The benefit to all of humanity from advances in mathematics outweighs the lost jobs of research mathematicians". That's an insane take?

I think it’s widely accepted that most things are bought because they satisfy people’s needs or wants. Sure, there are exceptions, like drugs or gambling. Is there any reason to th…

You'd need this argument to be a lot more concrete as to why AI is like gambling.

If it doesn't help average people, why do millions of them pay for it?

The first link is very sloppy and doesn't actually explain why the "certificate" proves anything about the sphere packing. Or if it did, I couldn't understand it.

It sounds like you think no technological advances will make the world richer in the long run. I politely suggest that the past century of economic growth shows problems with this …

I find this whole way of looking at things weird. Did maths exist just to entertain and employ mathematicians? Surely maths is, like, useful? Not immediately, not predictably, but …

Yeah, if models become commoditised then what remains valuable is proprietary data. Smart move by Reuters. Not sure if it is quite frontier level, the comparisons are to opus/GPT 5…

But somebody who comes into a country must know where they come from! So you can just ask them. If they refuse to say, then that seems like a them problem, no? I don’t know what pr…

No no, the brake !

Actually Apple will also put advertising on your phone if you have one of the dynamic carousel things and you walk into the wrong area.

Seems like there's a big attack-defence asymmetry at present: models are great at exploiting systems and poor at fixing them.

That's impressive... how long did it take you? How much did you have to check the model's work? What frameworks did you use?

Being literally stateless is not the same as not having a passport. (My father-in-law doesn't have one, but he's a perfectly respectable citizen!) Being in a foreign country withou…

I think the real punchline was that the value saved was on the order of cents! > Every single change that touches the data access layer from this point forward now costs significan…

The Nazis are defined by their ideology. Gypsies are an ethnicity; judging them all by the actions of some is unfair. That doesn't mean you can't ever criticize another culture. Bu…

Presumably, if they are immigrants, then they have a passport and a legal home country. I agree with you that mass deportation (i.e. deportation of a whole group not based on indiv…

OK. But then the answer to your initial question would be "deported to their home countries".

I don't think most gypsies are stateless.

There’s lots of evidence for costly signalling across multiple domains! For this specific case, I can’t be certain about any individual’s motivation, of course - I simply raised th…
