You are trying to see employees as more than just statistics which is not what CEOs are doing. They are not empathising with 4k employees because they are not seeing 4k human being…

It was a 100% intentional act. These people simply don't care and they want that be known. It's in their ego.

If they didn't have to answer for iPad babies then unfortunately they won't have to answer for this either. I've resolved to accepting the fact that most people are just content wi…

This is what I've been leaning towards after initially renouncing the experiment for its arbitrary nature. "Alpha" behaviour emerge in zero-sum/artificial scarcity situations, yet …

Wrong. Cyprus is in Asia and has been successfully admitted to the EU.

Geopolitical thought experiments pop up from time to time but rarely come to fruition. There will be enough domestic opposition from both sides that this will never happen. The ide…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_criteria#Geographic... Cyprus is geographically located in Asia but has been successfully been admitted to the EU after satisfying other (n…

My 100% speculation is emergent behaviour from the brain itself. Same way human interactions have remained largely the same over thousands of years. Also, we don't notice the salmo…

Only if you have runaway expenditures due to the lack of self-control and discipline.

FSD isn't getting "solved" without outlawing human drivers, period. Otherwise you are trying to solve a non-deterministic system with deterministic software under a 0% error tolera…

It solves problems because it was trained with the solutions to these problems that have been written down a thousand times before. A lot of people don't even consider the ability …

Probably off-topic for this thread but my own rather fatalist view is alignment/safety is a waste of effort if AGI will happen. True AGI will be able to self-modify at a pace beyon…

People, including East Asians, frequently claim "face" is an East Asian cultural concept despite the fact that it is omnipresent in all cultures. It doesn't matter if outsiders hav…

And? Where is the threshold? Science is not based on vibes. Starting a movement without evidence is called mass hysteria.

Why do you accuse me of being against addressing these issues? I am merely pointing out these are not existential crises because there is currently no evidence supporting such clai…

Because there is no apparent acute symptom of microplastic contamination inside our bodies that have been identified yet. If microplastics have even a fraction of the harm of actua…

Good news is tuna is not the only form of seafood you can eat! Perhaps you can try channeling that outrage into real tangible activism, any minute now.

And? That span is within an individual's lifetime, which is not very long in the context of human history. As of now there's zero sign any entity with regulatory power is doing any…

If microplastics are directly causing illnesses and birth defects then we would've found out already. Past cases of mass illness caused by pollutants (lead gasoline, asbestos, mina…

How much time does it take to move a specific piece of artefact in/out of storage? What are the dimensions of the artefact? Are they sensitive to light? Are special equipments requ…

It's the same thing as clutter but on a professional level. Eventually the collection becomes large enough that it is infeasible to catalogue every single item. Any museum only has…

If Sam didn't get hired back after the firing, there was a good chance OpenAI would implode and that would be bad news for employee equity. Plus, the board didn't give out any info…

Doesn't really matter at this point because they gave literally zero info to the public or most of the company employees when they fired Altman. Almost no one sided with them becau…

Freedom of speech in regard to public institutions. For private entities/individuals, any contract you willingly sign will reign supreme over whatever this "freedom of speech" thin…

Toxicity follows the crowd. The Fediverse seems less toxic because it has a fraction of the user activity compared to big tech platforms. The problem is not in the platform, it is …
