Neither of those comments are inaccurate.

It's deeply unhelpful to try and discuss something as complicated as slavery if you insist on whitewashing it as a simple, binary case of good and bad.

Sure, apologies.

Humans become invisible when a society becomes entirely transactional and human worth is commoditized.

Bangladesh has twice the GDP and 3x the growth. How long do you expect Portugal to be relevant?

Not at all.

> AI hype-bros like to complain that real AI experts are too much concerned about debunking current AI then improving it

You're acting like this is a common ocurrence lol

So does AI. You think you're creating an Oscar-winning movie by prompting VEO with no thought?

That's been happening since Photoshop. Describing this as some apocalyptic event is absurd.

Agreed, but Singapore has only 5 million people which limits their potential in that regard.

No good VC investment looked like a "smart riks" to normies when it happened.

Any time European economic failings are brought up it's always the same thing. "Well at least no school shootings!"

Great, Singapore has less school shootings and homeless people than anywhere in Europe by a country mile and has a soaring economy.

A 200B economy growing 2% is the future of the EU? Yes that is the point I am making.

No, ECONOMIC regulation was the point discussed. That has zilch to do with something like gun control.

My suspicion is it's the personalization. Most people have things like 'memory' on, and as the models increasingly personalize towards you, that personalization is hurting quality rather than helping it.

Which is why the base model wouldn't necessarily show differences when you benchmarked them.

Nobody is claiming the US has less mass shootings. It's just pointless whataboutism in a conversation (economic strategy) that has nothing to do with it.

The vast majority of Americans don't do either of those things either.

And given what happened in Austria just a few hours back, not the best time for your comment.

And Estonia has the most impressive tech ecosystem on the continent while being a soviet backwater 20 years ago. Shocking how that works.

Rights and protections that have benefited heavily from an economy built on the alliance with the US.

If it weren't for American help and trade post-WW2, Europe would be a Belarusian backwater and is fast heading back in that direction.

Countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. show the future of Europe as it slowly stagnates and becomes a museum that can't feed it's people.

Even Germany that was once excelling is now collapsing economically.

The only bright spot on the continent right now is Poland who are, shocker, much less regulatorily strict and have lower corporate taxes.

And what's the excuse for Euro's GDP being equal to the US in 2007, and now being over $10T less?

Because Europeans don't take smart risks. Because they over regulate.

It's fascinating watching people circle back to this answer.

Regulation and taxation reduces incentives. Lower incentives, means lower risk-taking.

The fact this is still a lesson that needs to be debated is absurd.

What the heck are you talking about?

Fair enough.

How are either of those sentences "racist"?

So you can't give me a single racist statement he made.

Obama was not his opposition, and that was not his campaign.

Of course, I didn't claim that the republicans aren't now doing everything they claimed to revolt against but worse. As it turns out "free speech" absolutism only applies to things that pwn the libz.

Does the modern left?

Don't just send me a random dump wiki dump. Give me actual racist things he said in 2016.
