People are largely fools who don't understand the (extreme) limitations of their own perception. To offer a useful analogy: we only notice the bad lip filler jobs. AI is all over t…

A lot of people have had to accept that they've wasted a considerable amount of time and energy on something that is being heavily devalued by GLP-1's. They've also lost an importa…

Ironically, it's likely that the only reason USG let them get away with this — instead of making obvious and necessary adjustments to copyright law — was so that the industry would…

By that logic, we should let the Ohlone tribes underbid all existing residents. They too are just rich assholes who displaced those that were rightfully there before them.

Pity the boonyman who was afforded no such luxury

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your comment suggested you'd be unable to afford market rent.

> I guess they think I should save up a few million dollars to buy a condo or abandon my community and move to the boonies. If you can't afford to live in your city, what distingui…

That sounds like a problem for the idiots invested in this garbage and who cut foolish sweetheart debt deals with the hyper-scalers. That's mostly rich people, because they haven't…

Found the late-stage OAI/Anthropic bagholder lmao

Data centers are incredibly dense and exposed military targets. This may become relevant in the future.

AIs are not conscious and do not have real needs that are detached from a real person. That can certainly be simulated , but I would hope that we can collectively agree to unplug t…

This author's writing style is too obnoxious for me to have gotten all the way through it, but the important thing is that he's wrong. Every single economic transaction ultimately …

> Wouldn't change anything for the better. You need to read more history my friend

Not sure why you seem to think people would need to resist the government rather than, more simply, the relatively small number of billionaires who purchase and pervert it.

Anecdotally, a lot of politically far left people I know have gone quiet on the firearms issue. It seems like the state of the country has 2A suddenly making more sense to a lot of…

Depends on the "human employee." If you're burning an "unimaginable" number of tokens, you're already in the top decile of employees, at least. Will the top decile not become obsol…

Oh there's plenty of evidence. Because a lot of these people have been committing to repos in public for over a decade. Wouldn't take much to show the world just how fallible human…

You sound blissfully ignorant. I'd honestly advise staying that way. The alternative is depressing af.

Sure. Would you like WWII, medieval-era Christianity, or Khanate Asia?

> Violence is not a panacea, but often, the outlet. This couldn't be further from the truth. History demonstrates categorically that violence is the last and most reliable form of …

(1) We already automated the critical path of a great deal of processes, where that made economic sense. The long tail exists, but it's not replete with as much juicy low-hanging f…

> So the greatest physics, maths, poetry and pop music are done by people in their 20s. I think there's a chance this is itself a type of selection bias, because you're over-indexi…

Yet another illusion. A lot of Americans are very good at finding ways to persecute people for having an opinion, often using economic consequences as a cudgel to enforce groupthin…

> ethically coherent with American values I'm a lifelong US citizen and burst out laughing at this. What values? What coherence? Do you mean the NSA man-in-the-middleing all that t…

The cynical pessimist in me agrees with you that the odds are somewhat bleak. The slightly irrational optimist in me says "rage against the dying of the light". Also, there has nev…
