    Not a unique thought here, but the religious faith that people have in AI is so very clear in posts like this. Not just people with this level of zeal either. Everyone who talks po…

    What are the aspects of working on a bus that make it impractical? When I find myself in your position usually I end up realizing I'm self-conscious about people seeing what I'm do…

    It is surely a sign of the times that this is in Teen Vogue.

    Maybe if we spent more time learning how to interpret animal emotions than we do building AI to do it for us the title would read vice versa.

    True, no argument there. What fascinates me more is why people continue to think we can teach a chatbot how to recognize what's true and give us answers that we can't find for ours…

    I mentioned this in one of my other comments but even if AI figures this out where humans can't, I think this will involve coming to the conclusion that there really is an objectiv…

    Fair enough. I think a lot of people are going to end up blindly trusting AI because its right often enough. But for those who are interested in what it really means to know someth…

    I might be getting overly philosophical here but I'd say it's because they truly don't know anything at all (as opposed to knowing some things but not others). To be able to say "I…

    The Forgotten Employee would make a great addition: https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/

    Point taken. I wouldn't recommend avoiding anything modern across the board and neither does CS Lewis. And innovation is great but I would guard against assuming that innovation is…

    I'm assuming you're exaggerating for effect at least a little but with that caveat I couldn't agree more. CS Lewis has a great argument for this in his introduction to Athanasius' …

    I think pretty soon we will get to the point where there’s some sort of significant boundary at all levels between online and real life because the only way to be sure you’re seein…

    This is exactly what’s at stake. I heard an artist say one time that he’d rather listen to Bob Dylan miss a note than listen to a song that had all the imperfections engineered out…

    This has potential to be an amazing resource. Not sold on the infinite scroll that goes in any direction as a useful interface for browsing the images. As other commenters have not…

    I think they mean that the description of the episode should have a list of books (and maybe other resources) that were mentioned in the episode itself.

    What’s interesting to me is that (if I understand correctly) they’re using GPT as a source of information to make this claim. Usually you see conclusions like these being drawn fro…

    You're not wrong. I'm taking issue with the fact that he's presenting Google and its mission as something objective and above reproach. By doing so he's going above and beyond aski…

    I'm not taking issue with him expecting employees to get in line with the mission and methods. I'm saying he should be more frank and transparent about the fact that this is what h…

    So… does anyone have any recommendations for some good emulators that we could reasonably expect to see on the app store?

    Just out of curiosity: does anyone know why so many of the sponsors listed on bulma.io are casinos and betting sites?
