There's just no easy way to see what makes LLMs able to duplicate the profits of the entire existing tech sector of the economy. This is the return they need to make based on what …

I'm personally a much bigger fan of Vin Mariani. It's a wine made with cocaine alkaloids and endorsed by the pope. Unfortunately not as popular as it was in 1863...

This essentially requires tripling the entire tech sector's share of the economy in a few years.

Sarcasm over a legitimate question really? After about 4 years I think it's totally acceptable to ask where the profit is on any company's 10-K. Where are even the revenues on a 10…

8 people as the entire control group... yeah I'd say "may" is the operative word in the title. My takeaway from long covid is that it's probably as severe as the much more deadly p…

So like a bottle of cough syrup it should have a child-lock cap and be required to be 18 and show I.D. to buy?

How do you conclude you carry more muscle than the average?

I'd like to apply for this job where I can make mistakes and it's considered an acceptable cost. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I made a significant error and it was acc…

Unfortunately for a lot of people with weight issues it stems from becoming overweight during puberty which is uniquely bad. Your body's appetite signals are permanently impaired i…

While I'm sure professionals in neuroscience or philosophy can expound on this topic in a more satisfactory manner than myself, I think a relevant point is that despite all our eff…

Yeah not sure how mold infestation in every bathroom of every apartment you've lived at for longer than 2 years can be anything besides a user error.

Solar, wind, and even hydroelectricity are too dependent upon the environment to make up the entire electricity generation capacity of any major industrial country. With renewables…

Sure I'll do the same for those other industries. It took generations and many deaths after each industrial revolution to address the harms caused by the technology. People's compl…

If not for the war or other legitimate reasons I'd assume a preponderance of one demographic doing a specific job as likely a bad thing. I'm surprised it'd be wishful thinking.

I find it inefficient to use models for all possible uses right now even with the current subsidies. As the costs increase this will only become more true. Keeping that in mind wil…

Sure it's a social construct, but billions have killed or been killed for money, land, and ownership of assets. Social constructions at their extreme are just abstractions of power…

The argument that commoners now live better than historical kings because we possess better technology is reductive if by living better you mean life satisfaction. Happiness is rel…

It's more unpopular than that. Not surprising since they're competing underhandedly for electricity generation with everyone else.

You've named technologies that people were heavily speculating on that did experience bubbles. A useful technology and a painful misallocation of resources is far from mutually exc…

These are similar numbers to the dotcom bubble. With GDP growth and the percentage of productivity AI contributes staying the same in this scenario this requires regular gains in r…

Begrudging more senior employees for lacking sympathy for younger employees who feel left out by remote work is not the same as begrudging them for working remote. Regardless, I wo…

I considered this too but I didn't think it too ironic considering anonymous pen pals have been a thing since the 20th century at least. Obviously the technology would amaze, but t…

I struggle so much with what the allure is for using a chatbot for companionship and I've dealt with loneliness before. Then again I struggle to understand how people become fixate…

Yeah it's awful and the lack of any sympathy from people further along in their career with kids made it even worse. Everyone thinks it's great but I literally developed depression…
