    I read the article you sent, it doesn't prove your point.

    Ok how about any thinker.

    Can you send me writing or video of any serious thinker advocating for this? The OP is a common straw-man characterization of the position I described.

    That's a mischaracterization. No one is _for_ inequality. The opposition you speak of is _for_ race/gender blind meritocracy. Anyone with a little knowledge of economics understand…

    Ask HN: What's the state of Chemistry?

    I see a lot of news regarding physics, bio-tech, and computer related stuff obviously, but it seems like general chemistry gets a lot less love. Yes, I know all the fields I just m…

    It actually has been going away on it's own. There's no way anyone can deny America hasn't made enormous progress across gender/racial lines in the last 50 years. Moreover, there's…

    You seem to realize yourself that categorizing people just on race/gender isn't compelling, which is why in your examples you also add the economic conditions to make your point so…

    DAE think this whole fiasco might've been intentional? Seems like such a glaring flaw in the system. The public reaction was predictable, as well as the stock reaction....

    True, my hope is people interpret the question in a more universal, symbolic way.

    Tried not to. I know God implies monotheism and the Michelangelo painting suggests Christianity but I hope people can look past that if they don't like it.

    Not asking anyone to bend reality. Most analogies/metaphors aren't perfect and require good faith by the listener to see the truth in them. "A mind is like a parachute; it doesn't …

    Appreciate your comment! You're right, the analogy isn't perfect. I hope the sentiment of the analogy comes through though. "Otherwise, I imagine it would be a non-issue." Don't un…

    I'll try summarizing Yudkowsky's main point as I understand it (however you should read him directly if you find me unconvincing). Obviously the current version of ChatGPT and LLMs…

    We can communicate securely on the internet because of cryptography (HTTPS vs. HTTP). If cryptography didn't exist any signal you ever sent over the internet could be observed and …

    Listen to Eliezer Yudkowsky's arguments. Perhaps it looks silly to you but there are actually _extremely_ good reasons to be worried about AI progress without figuring out alignmen…

    Awesome!!! More fun than most of the jackbox style games I've played before. I only played with it a bit, in your experience does the AI do a pretty good job of judging people's cr…

    Friend, nature is uncivilized. War, violence, and fighting aren't things to be moved past as you say. They are things to understand, master, and apply appropriately. Hoping to move…
