What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.
We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.
Person unaffected by past bad decisions doesn’t see how that’s a problem.
This is why we should lock down the OS to prevent people from creating databases of people. There are so many applications out there asking for people’s DOB and that’s because we let people just install whatever app they want. There’s absolutely no positive use case for that.
A bike adds to the fun of dodging a giant laser by dashing from one shade island to another.
To be clear, the punishment wasn’t him loosing 2B, he wouldn’t even notice the difference. The punishment was being told he was wrong by a jury of his “peers”.
Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.
Apparently you can get that sequence from an AI bot if you ask it “correctly”. But rules for thee and all that.
Or Putin says they will nuke any country that nukes Iran and he wins a nobel peace prize for it. Joking about the last half…
My advice is to stick to making specific observations as not to sound hyperbolic.
Yet at the same time what is needed is a counter-narrative to “AI can do the job”. My observation is the industry cycles between agile and waterfall development and people (who are the loudest) are using AI to do waterfall development. This is a bad idea for the same reasons waterfall development is bad: trying to write a spec that covers all situations is counterproductive.
The alternative I see is that we borrow from Agile and treat AI as a pair developer that you outsource small (or largely repetitive) tasks to. This is not vibe coding nor is it TDD as you are still actively developing all levels of the code, but your feedback loop (OODA) is kept short.
Nah, just think people who are ignorant of their own laws should think more before they make their ignorance more widely known.
International law is what the CCP claims gives them the right. So no, I am not implying, I am stating it is relevant. Even if you disagree with the law, how do you expect this to be resolved peacefully without international law?
Let me guess, you don’t think they have a legal claim to the island under UN law?
I mean wasn’t it largely peaceful in the past? From China’s perspective they only need to act if Taiwan or other countries make public statements challenging their legal claim to the island, it is better for China to wait as the power dynamics are shifting in their favor. It is only the west that wants to force this issue to come to head now, while they still have a comparative advantage - but even now if China wants Taiwan there is little we can do keep that from happening (though the humanitarian cost would be staggering and likely hurt their standing internationally).
Edit: I also don’t see why mainland would suddenly pivot on the issue, there’s seems very little reason to expect them to change course.
You didn’t define authoritarianism or specifically say how it is so in this case, leaving us to guess and you to say we guessed wrong.
I’m sure the market will innovate and give us rentable biometrics.
A manager. This tool is for what managers think software development is: managing the production of code. From that perspective this hype makes a lot of sense, just turn all your current developers into managers with AI and you now have grown the team by 10x. You can go back in time and find many jokes about how adding more developers doesn’t speed up delivery but slows it down. I don’t see how AI would suddenly make that less true, especially since the AI is not accountable for its results, you are.
Fuck that. Saying empires are inevitable is a lot like saying fascism is inevitable. Maybe it’s true but you shouldn’t identify with the thing and make it’s purpose your own
