Please don't break HN rules. Where's @dang when you need him? I'm as smart/dumb as anyone else on here and I'm sorry this conversation turned into whatever this is.
Controlling what people eat is definitely authoritarian/right-wing. For a historic example, you may be interested in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Grain Maybe try a different example to make your point?
My point is I was replying to a comment that said most of Florida will be underwater in 2100, which is not true, as I said. What is your point?
Your link implies less than 2m, strengthening my point?
This is not true. Even in the most cataclysmic scenarios, scientists project Sea level to rise 2m by 2100, and most of Florida is above that level. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/what-are-best-and-worst-case...
>Since when did direct democracy became a right wing concept? It's intended to make Parliament powerless (when you read the document, I'm sure you saw that part), so, I'd say it became a right wing concept when it was…
This is a very obviously biased argument that both sides make about themselves. The AfD literally published a manifesto of new and notably more conservative policy goals in 2017. They do not claim to have the political…
I think being thoughtful and baseline positive about the way we predict the future in popular media is a good idea. Nihilism isn't good in and of itself, so I'm not sure what you're arguing society would lose if we…
And isn't that the great lesson of AI? The things we say actually do matter and the post-modern descent into absurdity and nihilism has negative consequences?
Do you make the claim that AI is something more than a reflection of its training data? I'm curious what other things you would argue influences an LLM's behavior. I am also generally one to trust the claims of the…
Just a reminder that AI models' actions are reflections of the text humans write and the more we fret and make up doomsday scenarios that we then post online, the more likely a model is to do those things.…
I think a lot of us HN-types are people who like to post riddles like this instead of news about what actually happened.
>And no, HN is not social media in any normal sense of the word. The pedantry involved in that comparison is extremely tiresome. The amount of times I've read a very thoughtful article only for the comments to be…
>Why would you? Because the fundamental building block of society (which we are losing rapidly) is some amount of care for your fellow person. Your comment is a great example of how we Prisoner's Dilemma'ed ourselves…
>There is only one market that large: the global labor market. This isn't even close to true and it's kind of the central thesis of this article. Saudi Aramco has consistently been a $2tn company in the oil market.…
It is an extremely weak argument to just post the links. Please supply actual instances of the supposed bias.
Explain to me how 'learning on the fly' is different than iterative self-prompting. Maybe me today would say you need to do some more research and thinking on how LLMs work?
You and OP are both unnecessarily diminishing what 'glorified search' is. If you had told me that in 2015, we would have a tool that can iteratively search the world's best and largest unstructured database and…
We invented a word for a very specific thing (consciousness) and are now debating whether that relatively unimportant word represents a large open set or a narrow closed set. We do one thing in our bodies with…
Implying that software is somehow divorce from Infrastructure/compute efficiency and utilization isn't a claim I've seen many make either.
Yeah, it's almost like the point I was making is that everyone is overselling AI agents' capabilities.
Isn't the whole selling point of AI agents that you now can do things like scale 3x without scaling your team accordingly?
Well, then we get into the area of 'How many people know Google is logging their searches to serve them more targeted YouTube ads?'
Why would a career bureaucrat be a more efficient way to figure out how to attract and retain ATC workers, ass opposed to a union representing those ATC workers? Your proposal intentionally injects inefficiency and…
This is a discussion with nearly unanimous agreement that poor ATC working conditions are causing Americans to die in preventable aviation accidents. Maybe this is the one evidence-driven case where you can be open…
