I started one 15 years ago in Silicon Valley. Just what this article calls a hangout.

Employee compensation comes from capital. And employees are working at companies that provide robots, etc.

There's a return on capital than is not spent on employees. That reflects how much capital is growing and how much can be spent on employees in the future.

Maybe it should be possible for a parent to set a child age in a device.

Everyone else can stay anonymous.

I look forward to hearing why that won't work and what problems it will cause.

Just because intelligence evolved in people that find rights useful doesn't mean intelligence can only reside in a person.

Living things are driven by a need to reproduce. That's the only reason we exist. The only reason we have self interest.

A machine doesn't require self interest. There's no reason to implement it, except to show it can be done. And of course it can. There's just no practical reason to. It becomes less useful to us.

Of course it isn't. What it knows is many weeks old, except for what you tell it. Then it forgets everything you told it.

And it's just a model. It can have many exact copies. It has no life of its own. It doesn't know anything about where it is. It doesn't have sensory organs.

Your phone isn't alive either.

so only do things that yield results fast.

Glad to see a country be less foolish.

The more government controls, the more checks and balances evolve into paychecks and hidden bank balances.

Government can do a lot of things to you when it controls a lot of things.

And what government is doing is harder to see when it's doing millions of things.

I think individuals have the right to hide from government bot swarms.

I can solve a problem in 10% of the time. Dealing with an issue TODAY, instead of having to put it in the backlog.

It's often true. But not when it's easier to code than to explain.

No, you want the smell of your ideal partner.

iNose what you did there.

That doesn't surprise me.

Our fingertips feel using low frequency sound generated by our fingerprints passing over things.

And, yet, railroads were privately created and operated before government got control of them.

Subways too.

That happened at a company I was at 8 years ago. It acquired a company also owned by the major investor. Layoffs started with a month. They whole thing shut down within 6 months.

AI is useful to people who read and understand the answers and who would have eventually come up with a similar result on their own.

They have judgement. They can improve what was generated. They can fix a result when it falls short of the objective.

And they know when to give up on trying to get AI to understand. When rephrasing won't improve next word prediction. Which happens when the situation is complex.

You mean like FCC fining people over Janet Jackson's boob?

You have freedom of the press, when you own a press. But the spectrum is not owned by the licensees. There are rules. Limits.

I am not for government owning the spectrum. But that's the current situation.

In a free market, the spectrum would be private property.

A user's password is something I shouldn't see in a log, even if I'm in control of what gets logged and frequently access them to do my job.

Even if I trust me.

Audits happen. I assume other people will eventually see this bad practice.

They can replace your eye's clouded lens with a corrective lens now.

Good. If the legal system won't do it, people SHOULD.

So voters should not assess a candidate.

Should they go into the voting booth without looking and randomly pull levers?

How about the voters?

Is any negative assessment of the candidate "panic"?

So assessing someone's ability to govern is "panic".

I live in Silicon Valley. I don't notice any panic.

He's terrible though. Is that "panic".

I see you are bias-free.

The flies didn't JUST start moving north this year.

Considering the widths of Panama and Mexico, holding them south of Panama had to be much cheaper.

Maybe dramatically increasing the supply of something lowers its price.
