I agree with the fact that LLM's inherently lack agency and I think it's a pretty subtle distinction but it's an extremely consequential one. AI cannot self-initiate anything, they…

you gotta explain why the analogy is applicable, otherwise I could do the same thing and say "I don't understand why so many people are convinced that hovercars won't replace autom…

For a second I thought the title was implying that they were giving the "all clear" TO the asteroid, like, "all good, we won't stop you if you wanna destroy us all." And it didn't …

Nobody else likes Moby Dick lol. Or James Joyce. Plenty of other great choices imo though

My wife has a "Dr Dennis Gross Red Light Mask" that has a setting for 650nm + 850nm red light. Supposed to help with aging or something but the specs match up perfectly. Probably w…

the problem is that if this becomes more common your argument won't be an option. It'd be akin to saying "just ignore the company's offers for health insurance" - well now our whol…

and those towns are guaranteed to stay that way if even housing is controlled by that singular employee

yeah very true. I don't think anyone could disagree with this but somehow many people seem to be missing this perspective entirely

couldn't someone have said the same thing about health insurance when it was new and only a few companies were doing it?

I think people who don't like it are just afraid of where this appears to be heading, and they are just resisting the idea of employers gaining anymore control of other aspects of …

Gestures widely at the world

The current stage of development of consciousness that the world is going through(and seemingly reaching the end of) is one of competition and individualism. There are good and bad…

People aren't going to like this, if most people did then the modern age wouldn't be what it is. I think it's important for people to see things from outside the bias of their curr…

Just because they don't hypocritically claim they care about their employees and only laid them off because they HAD to, doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize them and (if possible) …

I think it's commonly known, maybe not proven, but also it's a case of can they? yes. Would they? yes. As long as you agree with those two premises it's pretty likely

I've had the same experience, and often(when I'm not too lazy from smoking), I'll write down the ideas to read when I'm sober. Usually they are correct and kind of insightful(by th…

> My wish is that this big tech cycle has been long enough for us to have collectively learned at least some lessons about what’s desirable and what’s not in such vital communicati…

If the response counts as a comment, then that ratio is impossible to fulfill - although in that interpretation it'd be impossible to fulfill IRL as well, so I don't think we can u…

yeah I was thinking the same thing as I wrote it actually, but went with that example anyway as it's a typical example for a job that pays more because of a lower supply of people …

you're right, I kinda skimmed the article but I see what you mean now. I am a bit sensitive when articles like this even refer to "the left" or "the right" because I'm so condition…

I agree with that point, but this article basically just a report of one small piece of a huge issue we've known about for years, that so obviously encompasses both sides of the po…

I mean, have you seen how much pay has gone up in low-skilled jobs? There are signs at all the local businesses in my area offering $15+ an hour for cashiers and fry cooks and what…

If it's such a good deal they should have no problem finding plenty of employees for those jobs. If Gen Z is opposed to those kind of working conditions for some reason, then it's …

If you choose to reply, I have a few questions just to get an idea of where your at. In my opinion, all that stuff "healthy"/functioning people say to depressed people is technical…

I think I can at least somewhat understand your position, despite still being in my 30s myself, and want to try and help despite my inexperience. First thing, to answer the questio…
