cool!

I don't think it's a scam or a conspiracy. It's human nature to worry and when given a reasonably sounding, but scary, idea we tend to spread it to others.

Please enlighten me. How do you know that?

Even if that was true, do you think it would be hard to hook it up to a Boston Dynamics robot and potentially add a few sensors? I reckon that could be done in an afternoon (by humans), or a few seconds (by the AGI). I feel like I'm missing your point.

I'd argue they are the closest to AGI (how far off that is no one knows). That would make them a strong contender for the most important company in the world in my book.

Why?

He simply did not have the intellectual aptitude required for the patent business. Suddenly I don't feel so bad about becoming a math professor after failing accounting school.

May I ask which headsets you've tried? I was stunned by the visual clarity of even a Pico 4, and I expect the vision pro to be far clearer.

Isn’t impassable dams/hydro stations a huge issue for them?

No, not that I recall. I've only heard about it being discussed in an objective manner.

Who is maintaining this "status quo" according to you? The media? The monarchs?

History and tradition plays a major role in those opinions. No one is saying it is fair, but most are willing to overlook it.

Why do you, so confidently, state that the reason is the school system/indoctrination? I've gone to school in these countries, and I've never heard a pro-monarchy argument in class.

But he's excellent at clickbait!

No, `pip install consciousness-research`

We need global regulation and treaties regarding AI, pronto.

1. Dots are nicer to type for sure 2. It's a bit easier to define types for class attributes than dictionaries IMO 3. You can absolutely have methods on dataclasses

I thought it was pretty funny.

Yep, it's possible to argue completely incorrect things.

There’s always something that sets us apart, isn’t there? Something that makes “us” better than “them”. Or so we tell ourselves as we continue to rape the planet and kill our cohabitants. The mind can be quite resourceful when faced with cognitive dissonance.

Yeah, I apologize. I see this "fact" being brought up all the time and it frustrates me because it seems so disingenuous.

Eh, no thanks.

No. Bored engineers pick it because it’s more fun to build complex systems being able to handle a wider array of scenarios.

It would both enhance and degrade the perceived authenticity of the movie, which is kinda weird.

Probably would have been better tho.

Thanks for reminding me of their existence.

I think his point might have been to show what's currently possible in an off-grid setting. The reasons for wanting to live off-grid will vary from person to person - some might appreciate the disconnect from the modern world, others might simply want to increase their self-reliance.

I don't know what the nazis thought (or think) about Atlantis, but who cares? If it ever existed, and Graham is 100% correct, how is that fact not infinitely more interesting than what race they were? I certainly don't think about my own ancestors, which were verifiably "uncivilized" up until the 13th century AD, as being lesser than anyone else.

He's clearly wrong, and it's easy to discredit him scientifically. Why not do that instead of playing the race card? Everything's a nail when you have a hammer I guess.

Something about Atlanteans being white (I don't recall this ever being a point of Graham, and I don't think Plato mentioned it either) and bringing civilization to brown folk (who later brought it to white folk), implying that brown folk are lesser. Yeah, it's not their best work.

Some claim he's supporting racist conspiracy theories in their headlines. I'd say that's an attempt at canceling him. He's good at taking on the victim role though, I'll give you that.

People think he's a racist because they think he implies non-whites are stupid because they got their knowledge of civilization from survivors from Atlantis. They don't really touch upon the fact that literally all civilizations would have spawned out of them, including "white" ones.

I've never seen, read, or heard anything indicating that Graham is racist. Is there any substance to this, or it about as solid as his theories?

Perhaps hard attention could be a thing here. Possibly too tricky to train though.
