edit: I also want to point out that the fanboys conflate documented evidence in wikipedia of things EM has said with vitriol. It's like when people get banned on social media for hate speech for quoting something the POTUS said.
Arguably it's exactly the opposite. In the same way we ask billionaires to pay their taxes because the regulatory regime is what allowed them the structure to make their billions in the first place, the national security of the country the AI researchers are in is what allows them to make a vast salary to work on interesting, leading edge capabilities like AI. They should feel obligated to help the military.
Otherwise the comment is unnecessarily aggressive for no reason, and I think I detect a tone of condescension, which is unwarranted.
This is why I downvoted.
“QBUX is currently an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum protocol. In the future, versions of QBUX running on other protocols may be developed, exchangeable 1-1 with the current QBUX token.”
Maybe you’re not willing to cop to it being “crypto” but it’s in essence the same.
I’m expecting spacex is different because we already know intuitively that launching something is expensive and we know there are only a small number of vendors with which to do so. So space launch companies probably don’t have the same issue…
An example of something I stumbled onto: have a route open on your screen, zoom into some portion of the route, tap the screen and it adds markers on the route telling you the distance of the segment on screen, which persist when zoomed out. This seems silly, but highly useful way for me to zoom to where my location is (say) at bottom of screen and next route milestone is at top, and getting the exact distance to go between current location and desired location on the fly.
I have no affiliation, but it’s the only paid app I appreciate as much as I do.
