What context did I skip? It seems like the statement stands on its own.

Each activity we engage in has different use, value, and subjective enjoyment to different people. Some people love knitting! Personally, I do know how to sew small tears, which is…

>most of us would delegate our work code to somebody else or something else if we could. Laughably narrow-minded projection of your own perspective on others.

Do you typically find reductio ad absurdum arguments to be persuasive?

I think I’d call these examples “predictable” failures instead of “odd”.

>OpenAI has also announced a social media project I haven’t heard about this before this post, but if they’re starting a “Social Media but with AI” site in 2025, can’t help but fee…

This is interesting when you run it up the abstraction ladder. What if we take this perspective from “knowledge of news topic of the day” and apply it to “knowledge of the virtue o…

Gonna submit that business model to a YC 2026 batch.

This doesn’t seem like a great way to reason about the predictions. For something like this, saying “There is no evidence showing it” is a good enough refutation. Counterpointing t…

Note the market resolves by: > Resolution will be via a poll of Manifold moderators. If they're split on the issue, with anywhere from 30% to 70% YES votes, it'll resolve to the pr…

Why would “sales rep” be immune to the magical singularity AI that will be 9000 IQ points smarter than all of humanity combined?

“Banning” during a specific time at a specific location is not really a “ban”. It is a restriction.

Shoot, didn’t know downloading Llama and running it locally was helping China because I’m not paying Sam Altman money. Can I send him my bank account info directly? I need to help …

Their point is that with AI generation, (3) is already possible to hide.
