    There's no reason to link "AI psychosis" (i.e. interactiong with AI triggering psychotic episodes in the mentally ill) to people who "trust AI too much" or "don't bother to verify …

    Looks like the states are now getting in on the European scam of fining big US tech companies. A complete racket.

    The claim that the link between human value and productivity originated in capitalist societies (or via Protestant work ethic) is such bullshit. You think hunter-gatherers valued e…

    If my earning ability is harmed by AI, so be it. There's more to life than how much I earn, and opposing the spread of technology to maximize my earnings is bad.

    I didn't say it was a problem, I said it "mattered" If I wanted to argue that it's a problem, I'd just say that companies investing billions in training frontier models should reap…

    Of course it matters. Regardless of whether distillation is legal, there is a difference between training a model with and without distillation. For one thing, the distilled model …

    Yeah, only publish stories about coral bleaching, animals going extinct, and forest fires. Censor any good news at all costs!

    These models are trained to be truthful. Your disagreement isn't with the model, or the US, or the capitalist world but with economics and social sciences. If you want Claude to li…

    While it's definitely true that NIMBYism isn't the problem everywhere, I live in Virginia.

    It doesn't have to be 20 story apartment buildings. Start with duplexes, fourplexes, or townhomes -- none of which have to be ugly. It simply makes no sense to zone these densely p…

    Yes, this is a real problem. Also, in high-demand areas, building more will lower prices compared to the counterfactual but that doesn't mean prices will actually go down. This mak…

    There's no question that underbuilding is the largest factor here. You can look at construction vs. population over time (it's well below historical standards). Or available home v…

    Downward mobility is almost entirely caused by housing costs, which are a self-inflicted problem. We don't, as a matter of intentional policy, build enough housing. I live in an ex…

    No, the opinion doesn't have to do with whether OpenAI is open.

    Comment #48922793

    The argument doesn't hinge on whether OpenAI is actually open. Rather it seems to have to do with the name being insufficiently distinguishable from a generic term ("open AI"). I t…
