If all people had to have gps trackers installed on their cars and that data was easily accessible to cops, yeah I would demand they be outlawed.

You asked where the danger was, the response told you that disrupting the status quo can be dangerous.

Even if his 1T is speculative and undeserved he still has extreme power from that wealth. And there’s no indication that the bottom will fall out any time soon, so I think the lame…

Because I believe we all deserve to have a relatively equal say in how society should function, and the existence of trillionaires is antithetical to that.

Bizarre comment. OP didn’t say that they were worried or that AI is stupid. Only that it’s boring to hear someone talk about what their AI made.

But in this case what does a country lose by blocking any and all data centers in its borders? A few ms latency?

Wait, why does the Turing test invalidate the mechanistic argument against LLMs? Isn’t it possible the Turing test isn’t sufficient to measure intelligence?

The end of the article mentions it. Some people are not purely rational decision makers, some people are altruists who know others are not purely rational, etc. By choosing red you…

Where did I say there was no difference at all? I just said the example you gave was also evil.

Seems appropriate for satirists to do a petty attack on a bad man. That’s kind of the whole thing, isn’t it? I’d rather it be collective action that produces real change, but humor…

Kind of a strange example, because yeah I do think it’s evil to inflict your aesthetic preference on everyone’s bodies without consent.

> I do wonder how many would detransition if it wasn’t too embarrassing for them Well I wonder how many would transition in the first place if the culture (and law) allowed for gen…

I’m curious if after reading the dozen or so replies you’ve changed your opinion here, at least a little? For the record, I am also a user who scrolls up often while reading, so I …

I think it’s fine if your Ring camera is only pointing at your property. If it’s pointing into a public spaces, then yeah I think you are doing something bad and you should be sham…

Where in the parent comment do you see them saying they are objectively “right”? I read it as honestly subjective: “I see morality this way, you see it another way. If you act in a…

Is your point here that people who do wrong always or usually know they’re doing something wrong? If it is, I disagree. Most things I consider morally abhorrent are justifiable und…

As someone who works in these orgs, only a small fraction are about user experience metrics. 90+% are extracting more short term value with unknown second order effects on usabilit…

I agree, but I think the broader point here is that any automated system is a way to offload accountability. And it will be used for that without a doubt no matter how “good” the o…

Fair point! I was conflating source-available and open source. I guess you cannot limit based on user or use case, but you can set rules on attribution and copyleft in OSS, both of…

“My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world” That’s great for John, but not everyone’s open source projects are meant as a gift to the world for anyone…

I heard a podcast ad for an AI toy once that said “your child and [the toy] will be having conversations you could never imagine”. Truly baffling marketing, but I guess there are s…

Here are a handful of things that “the system” could change that would have helped the author: - free or greatly reduced cost of higher education - replacing means-tested programs …

What does “there are ripped men in prison” have to do with anything? Those men have intrinsic motivation for working out, but not everyone does, that’s kind of my whole point here.…
