I can sympathize with the viewpoint in the article. Indeed, I agree with many of the points of the article. But also, when I didn't speak Spanish very well, Spain felt magical and …

I really like Cory Doctorow, his fiction is great, and he's really entertaining. But, at least about this? He's incorrect.

I mean, "sure, technically correct is the best kind of correct" - but where we sit on this right now? It certainly feels exponential. A lot of this sort these sorts of posts are ju…

Boooooooo!

this strikes me as a much more plausible answer, thanks. A LOT of people are really scared about the future. That's kind of stupid for a lot of reasons, but I suppose you're right,…

I am not so sure that those are actual problems? I mean, "they're problems" - but everyone is still acting like it's 1996! The world is changing fast... And if he can consistently …

I cannot understand why people listen to him? I feel like I must be living in an alternate universe to a substantial amount of people? It's bananas...

ITT: people who think there’s going to be jobs.

Go watch Scott Manley, the heat isn't the show stopper you think it is.

I’m laughing at the downvotes. Such a privileged world so many people live in.

You must remember that there is no such thing as a “right” - just temporary privileges under this thing we call government. You gotta steal your rights. Sometimes that’s as easy as…

It’s all borders. They’re nonsense, other than physical separation by water or mountains being a thing, arbitrary political lines have always been nonsense. It used to not even be …

You’re right! And then they’re an inference provider too. All these come together with orbital data centers…

Yeah, I have put my money where my mouth is, but I think it is. Extraordinarily so, and I think the Musk hate has clouded people’s judgement. For what it’s worth, I get it. I have …

I mean, those people are right in a way. Capitalism is dog eat dog, the system is dog eat dog. In the jungle you have to adapt or die. If we want to change that, we must change the…

Nah, capitalism is the system. AI is just another tool that’s being applied to it. But you have to think beyond the old transactional nature to get passed that. Capitalist realism …

No, you don’t. You do not need to believe what you do is valuable. That’s capitalism talking, infesting your head. For the vast majority of us, we are imminently replaceable at the…

This the problem. The need to make money in order to justify your right to survive is the problem. Painters shouldn’t be mad at AI, they should be mad at the system.

You’re the one saying that we can’t. Not me.

We will see, but I don't buy it. We can't build housing in a housing crisis, or build high speed rail anywhere it seems, things aren't going to get built under the current paradigm…

I would have agreed with you a couple years ago... but not in the last year or so? People complaining about change and construction near them is a real factor. We can't even build …

Scott Manley had a really good video on it that more or less confirmed my "bar napkin approximations" when people first started talking about this stuff. I think it's this one? htt…

SpaceX is literally the only company that has a reliable partially re-usable launch vehicle, and they're probably going to be the only company with a fully re-usable launch vehicle…

I mean, birth rates are crashing hard here in the US so this might be decent future? Maybe average human lifespan gets kicked up to 200 years or whatever and we make do with robots…

Then, you know, build that world locally, at least for yourself. Like, I'm building a cabin in the woods (original, I know), but you can build things and do things. You can be that…
