    You’re significantly worse off assuming your government is adversarial than cooperative, regardless of what reality may be, and the majority of us know that. It’s why the chaos psy…

    These dismissals based on the source rather than the material are getting really annoying. We’re supposed to be intellectuals here, we can do better than that.

    Is the implication that they are in fact the same thing or that you don’t like Elon?

    Internet points demand obscure references these days. My system prompt has its own area code

    Suppose you've managed to get a job as an editor at Communications of the ACM. As "Editor, Communications of the ACM" what do you think your job is?

    Universities do not provide knowledge, this is a romanticization of an ideal. They are about getting a passing grade and a certificate so that you can enter the workforce. The idea…
