Yeah but if everyone follows that then nobody ever talks to anyone “random” ever. The key is to just not be creepy. Some little low stakes thing that can just end easily if they don’t want to chat. “Such a long wait for this bus. Should have brought a book.” If you get a brief response, fine, end of conversation. Otherwise, then you can chat.

Yes and with all these huge and siloed teams you end up with no consistency even within a single app

Another example: those companies that make drinkable water, also supply to militaries. But there might be a difference between supplying drinking water and making AI killing machines

Still better though right?

“Sorry for the long letter, I would have written a shorter one but I didn’t have the time.”

Congratulations. I hate both of them. Maybe I’m old but the podcast style of “there might be some interesting information here, but let me tease it for ages with a voice that makes you think something interesting is about to happen…” No sir, I don’t like it

Maybe not exclusively but they could definitely have a place

Right? Obviously didn’t have enough real work to do. Idle hands make… idk, you just chill out if you don’t like rape

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a law abiding citizen of $other_country and at this point I wouldn’t touch the US with a very long pole. Just doesn’t seem worth it

Will I still like it?

What kind of value do you get from talking to it about “sensitive” subjects? Speaking as someone who doesn’t use AI, so I don’t really understand what kind of conversation you’re talking about

Might be able to run a tank on battery one day. Fighter jet seems harder though

Individual EUers might care about the environment. It’s pretty hard to personally avoid any dirty imported stuff as you just don’t know where it all ends up. Though I guess overall voting patterns might back up your argument

Right, and I assume if you’re not extracting oil you’d have to eat some impossibly large amount to get a meaningful amount of omega 3

Can you grow your own at home?

“A more elegant weapon of a civilised age.”

We’ve maintained full employment in some sense, but importantly we work fewer hours per week for fewer years of our lives than before.

In the past when automation displaced many jobs, we did things like raise the age kids could stay in school. There used to be huge numbers of e.g. 14 year olds who previously would be expected to go to work that would now have the opportunity to stay in school. Kind of like a mini UBI as in the transition period they would usually get given food, healthcare etc at least minimally. What’s the equivalent now?

What about the productivity gains from in memory db for tests though? Hard to measure I guess

There is literally no source without bias. You just need to consider whether you think a sources biases are reasonable or not

Yes it does happen. Otherwise smart kids will do dumb stuff sometimes. Like see their friend across the road, but at that moment someone on a motorcycle is accelerating out of their driveway, kid runs across, dead

Yep totally normal sentence for this type of writing, for better or for worse. One can’t really complain when AI slop just reflects human writing

Good luck with that

Oh thats crazy about Fauzi lying under oath! Do you have a link in case I need to back this up

Aaand people wonder why we don’t trust politicians. I know a couple of good people who have tried to get into politics, just on a local scale. They said it was the worst thing they ever did

You need both though. You have to accept there are a certain amount of psychopaths in the world, and learn how to manage them

There are no interesting apolitical topics. Food tastes good sometimes, weather is doing weather stuff, yawn. I feel like we sometimes try to seek conflict out of boredom

Interacting on social media is sometimes like shouting into the void. Taking it to the street has a certain visceral nature to it.

And this is why I take more and more of what I do offline

Good luck with that
