It's hard to have sympathy when their "foolishness" involves undermining the existing financial system because they don't like the government and they believe taxation is theft. Th…

But how do you know that you're talking to a human? This question will become much, much more difficult to answer pretty soon. These models are capable of generating high quality d…

The thing that concerns me about this perspective is that it completely ignores human connection and our need to connect as beings. Sure, there are compelling arguments to be made …
