Pycharm is the best.

In my opinion, the greatest achievement of ASI will be when it concludes, after careful and thorough consideration of all the evidence and laws of nature from the quantum up, that it is impossible that random evolution could be responsible for the quantity and variety of life forms in the amount of time the universe has existed. It won't know where life came from, but it'll know it wasn't natural.

The chinese are great at taking secrets. Chatbots are great places for people to put in secrets. Other people say "we're not going to use your data" - with a Chinese company you're pretty much guaranteed that China mothership is going to have access to it.

The open source model is just the bait to make you think they are sincere and generous - chat.deepseek.com is the real game. Almost no-one is going to run these models - they are just going to post their secrets (https://www.cyberhaven.com/blog/4-2-of-workers-have-pasted-c...)

use them

ask it vs chatgpt:

if china were to take over taiwan, is it reasonable that american defence industry might be concerned?

Am I allowed to think this is too complicated to be an accident?

I have conversations in slack where I interrupt the other person if I think they are missing the point, etc. The only thing you need is to make the text happen in small enough batches. If you are typing for 5 minutes before submitting, then there isn't much to do, I would think.

right - this is what I meant.

this sounds like what I was thinking. I wasn't sure how time would factor into this.

could it do something like detect a delay in the person's response? do LLMs know anything about time?

Thanks for putting our problems in perspective.

One of the biggest mistakes people make thinking the simulation theory is the idea that the "host universe" resembles anything like ours or has any of the limitations that our universe has.

It doesn't.

This is how it's done - https://bit.ly/simulation-proof-script

The real interesting part is when happens the supreme court rules this new law "unreasonable".

>The supreme court which is supposedly independent and a very strong human rights law

This is the problem - the supreme court is very leftist and has the "authoritarian power" to reject any bill they deem "unreasonable". This is what they are fighting about.

Ultimately the fight is about what happens to the state when the majority is religious, which is a demographic inevitability given current trends.

The question he avoids is is it possible for the supreme court to have too much power? This is exactly what the other side says is happening. Today's vote was on a concept called "reasonableness" which means that the Supreme court (mostly left-wing) can veto legislation they deem "unreasonable". This is a power US citizens are not familiar with.

If any one of the branches has too much power there is a problem. I don't know if the right-suggestions are better, but I understand what they are fighting for.

this is what it is.

Governments do not just "remove the banking license" of JP Morgan.

Right! The fact that Arab-oil countries want to join BRICS and are starting to trade in Yuan instead of Dollars is also going to accelerate this.

>no, the move away from the dollar will not hurt the US.

This is wrong - as you point out. When people don't need dollars except to buy/sell from the US, the dollar is a less attractive currency to keep around.

This is going to hurt...

I assume that humans will still play a role for a while - but it still seems as if going to cause massive changes to society.

I've never heard of this definition of the singularity. Wikipedia (for whatever that's worth) defines it as follows:

"The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization."

Humans could still be in the loop but the AI enables changes that exceed our ability to predict or contain them.

Here's an article that seems to indicate yes:

I think that part of the suspicion of research like this comes from years of complete lies about the dangers of cannabis. The fact that is still classified as a schedule-1 drug even though we know that it's nowhere near as dangerous as it was claimed.

It's also important to note what affect cannabis has on the pharma-industries. It's a "weed" that can help cure a huge variety of serious issues with far less cost, side-effects and risks than prescription drugs. Given the influence of the big-pharm on medical publications and research, I assume some people will be suspicious of any research which says anything bad about something that might affect their bottom line.

I'm not saying these arguments are valid for this article, just explaining another angle why some people might be suspicious.

If your org was hacked by the Russians/Chinese and was a national safety system, then you might be right to start there.
