Or just regular personal biasing, which is just as unfair but doesn’t receive government protection even in theory.

What are you talking about? This is one of the most honest offers ever made by a corporation. “We’ll use your data, and we’ll compensate you for it.” Where is the problem?

If it’s true that other navigation systems are as safe and capable as GPS, then GPS navigation should be randomly disabled in every aircraft occasionally to ensure that pilots rema…

> At 2000ms, without output, you wonder if it crashed. (That was the old one.) That must have been a really, really long time ago indeed, because there are very few websites now th…

The option to make a transaction not be a transaction? What is it then?

I’d be interested to know what you think the “several layers” above a system that solves open mathematical problems in an afternoon, and writes entire operating systems from scratc…

Doing something about this is the job of the government, not of “you all”. If taking care of such essential matters is somehow the responsibility of society as a whole, we may as w…

The whole pension fund concept only works because it declares how much is going to be paid out. Who’s going to pay in if the fund expects a guaranteed commitment but refuses to giv…

Why would capex need to be covered by income during a time of investment and infrastructure buildup? Did income from the Apollo program cover its expenses?

Sure, but it’s easier to slander someone with unfalsifiable accusations of “vibecoding” than to engage with their work on any substantial level.

The fact that 99.99% of humans have never used a formal theorem prover?

That’s true, they’re not great at it. Just better than 99.99% of humans.

An ASI wouldn’t need to produce or invent anything. It can just take over humanity’s digital infrastructure (which, thanks to the efforts of the past 30 years, now controls most of…

The implication in the blog post that Google developers somehow “overlooked” or “misunderstood” important use cases here, and if only they were informed about them they would recon…

On the bright side, even a small local LLM can easily improve garbage code like that.

Lol. Depending on the country and who the buyer is, 50-80% of energy prices are taxes and levies. Those prices have nothing to do with missing infrastructure.

Codeberg is a German e.V. claiming significant benefits from society, including tax-free status. The argument “they can do whatever they want” doesn’t hold water. They are using le…

The laws of war apply at all times to all belligerents, and the enemy breaking them does not justify breaking them in turn. If the current global crisis ever ends, how the world de…

In the decade during which you claim China has been preparing for a hot war, the United States invaded multiple countries and waged hot wars on three continents. It’s ridiculous to…
