    A gentle walk through the first couple pages of your post history suggests you have very strong opinions about American government and that this is just bait to cause a ruckus

    Claiming the cold is the proximate cause of death while you’re dying of COVID seems like a poor analysis

    Most of the world becomes uninhabitable or volatile during that lead up where the world is getting hotter. Not decades where it’s fine and then too hot. The coast lines will rise p…

    Spotify web client with Adblock works best imo. No shuffle playing of albums. Or “shuffled” radio playlists. Don’t even need premium.

    You are imagining a world where people live in caves but we still have global shipping routes and large construction projects and nuclear reactors?

    > Keep in mind that dinosaurs evolved in a 12°C warmer world. Sounds like a ridiculous claim to me. Source? Edit: searching seems to suggest 5-10 degrees warmer. 12 warmer seems li…

    How do you intend to survive a 10c temperature increase?

    Why would you assume youth data is not a serious revenue stream? Parents are likely a large target market

    You seem to be taking my usage of the word prescient as meaning he can either see the future perfectly or he cannot. That’s… not what it conventionally means. I simply mean his tra…

    I didn’t say anything you’re suggesting.

    I’m not arguing Hinton is wrong. I’m arguing that Hinton doesn’t really matter here. The “godfather of AI” doesn’t make him particularly prescient.

    If you want an authoritative opinion on the societal impact of something I would want the opinion of someone who studies the societal impact of things.

    No, that’s the opposite of what I’m saying. Asking Hinton for his opinions on the societal impact of new AI tech is like asking the people who used to pump oil 20 years ago. It’s b…

    Someone who is actually doing it would be a lot more authoritative in my opinion. Hinton has been wrong on most of his big ideas in the past decade. He hasn’t actually been involve…

    Regardless of incentives, I don’t see any particular reason to think he has a more informed view than other experts on the trajectory of AI. He’s made several incorrect bets (capsu…

    Is this true? I can’t actually think of any examples of this off the top of my head. I can think of examples of popping anxiety pills to show weakness and lack of resolve, pills th…

    Could you post a non contrived example of Chat GPT 4 doing this?

    Sounds like a good opportunity for ChatGPT if it’s log based.

    Does that include those in Moscow and St Petersburg? On what grounds are they opposed?
