The core idea of ASI arriving before AGI seems to be true: we have already seen that through Chess Programs, LLMs etc. However what caught my eye and that to me does reflect the le…

But are you arguing that when people believe things that are demonstrably false, like using bleach as a Covid remedy, not because there is any evidence behind them but only because…

According to the article, such patents seem to come with a lot of restrictions and the patent apparently applies to traits of the patented plant: When a company is granted a utilit…

If somebody walks past a shop and does not buy the wares on offer because they are offended by the horrible decor, I assume, under this definition, this will be called coercion in …

That seems like a horrible suggestion: That might work for one person but an entire country? That people who have lived their lives for generations in Ukraine simply uproot their e…

So the argument is that since this criticism came from presumably a socialist, which we have no evidence for, we should not consider the criticism on its own merit?

Apart from violating privacy, instilling a culture of fear thereby impacting people's right to free speech and free organization, which is a cornerstone of democracy, making people…

Yes, I have definitely experienced this too. I also sometimes get results from websites that seem to be reskins of github (usually issues and pull requests).

While I am by no means an expert user, and I have a lot to learn on how to properly use inkscape, I used it for creating some figures for my thesis and it really came in handy. Con…

This may be a little off topic but your comment piqued my interest: I am currently learning JavaScript and I was wondering if you would like to recommend any of the books you read.…

I don't want to be nitpicky but I am sorry I have to be: Is that feeling not better expressed by "misanthrope"?

I think the point about wars is fair. However, there's no evidence that the election was crooked - the courts think so too. In addition, the President's moral compass seems to be p…

I agree. That's an important point and I suppose that begins with the government focusing on enacting legislation to actually solve problems that would make people's lives better -…

At that level of generality, a lot of things are political since one of the definitions of politics, according to Merriam-Webster [1] is: "the total complex of relations between pe…

Frankly, are you not concerned that by not doing this, you would be signaling that there should be no consequences for this level of corruption, plain falsehood, and ostensibly del…

Argument against Trump on what though? If you are talking about direct incitement to violence: Sure, he did not directly incite violence - he merely mumbled fire in a crowded theat…

I imagine that would be to hold an elected official to account for offences that are impeachable. When a president incites a riot and puts under siege the entire apparatus of your …

Can you point us to any evidence of actual election fraud? If so, what do you make of the courts not being clear about the facts as you see them? Was this evidence simply not part …

Will you try to explain why this is nonsense?

Do you think the results would be different if people were asked "If A implies B then does not B imply not A"? This could just be about using the right prompt - I do not know how i…
