Well I think the point still stands that a superintelligent AI would still be constrained to the digital realm. And since we don't yet have a "superintelligent AI" we are just discussing science fiction at that point.…
AI could definitely disrupt and destroy the modern digital world as we know it. But that's a far cry from destroying humanity.
We are talking about a humans vs AI scenario. There are probably thousands of humans in the world right now that could do exactly that right now if they wanted to (datacenter and OpenAI employees, power grid workers).
This is actually the most plausible situation I've seen someone present so far - the AI takeover would be caused entirely by humans falling for AI hype, that's hilarious. I don't think the average human would be stupid…
For millennia evil people and dictators have been using manipulation, propaganda, threats of violence to get entire populations to try and do "things that they wouldn't do otherwise" and humanity has not been…

I think a lot of programmers in the industry just follow trends, they don't really understand the benefits and drawbacks of the technology they are using. I have coworkers who host personal projects for their own use…
I think music is a good "test" for logically thinking people because it requires you to put away your logical brain and just accept that music sounds good because "it just does" and music theory is the way it is because…

70 million people in America are obese. Eating food doesn't make you obese, it's over indulgence of food and using food as a coping mechanism.
Redhat offers self-supported versions though, for half the price.
The term "unconscious bias" is based on the (false) assumption that every group of human is exactly identical. It is 100% a political term that is shoved at people to make them feel like a bad person for noticing…
I think one of the most egregious examples of this is Snapchat Inc's official mission statement being: We contribute to human progress by empowering people to live in the moment From my own observations of how snapchat…
"open source" and "free software" are two words for the exact same thing. Both of them are pretty poor descriptors. "open source" doesn't convey the legal freedom you are granted (as you have just found out), and "free…
Disc brakes were available in 1975, wide tires before that. Dropper posts I consider to be a gimmick. 1x drivetrains do have some drawbacks, but I consider them overall to be a good improvement to the simplicity of a…

I don't think there's any market. The only people who buy macs are people that have no intention of playing videogames on that system. I personally transitioned from Windows -> Linux -> MacOS, and each switch correlated…

I think the problem is that javascript has stopped being one language of many and has become the language. There are hundreds of thousands of developers now who only know javascript. They have no perception of the parts…
