There was a guy named Cypher who betrayed the humans and cut a deal with the robots to live in the matrix as a rich guy. He fully accepts the steak he eats is not “real” but he enjoys it nonetheless

Yes this is all true. So then the problem is that Anthropic seems hypocritical when they knowingly insert themselves into this chain, and then complain about people down-chain from them. To remedy the negative…
I'm American and I enjoy hosting at my house. I do it often (imo). I think some of the stats reviewed in this post are crazy because it is specifically "did it 12+ times in the last year", which means if you only did it…
When people say “the problem is that our economic system…”, I’ve stared to simply ask, “which economic system is the one where you do not need a job?”
You made the assumption that it was fairly valued before and the loss was a "true" loss. But possible it could have been over-valued before, unbeknownst to low-information external investors. After all, right now it as…

Personally I think if you were going to make a poster for a Japanese themed spring festival, and you did NOT include some sakura, you completely misunderstood the assignment. Your promotional poster for a community…
It is because you know this and you continually choose to keep using it. It’s be like if your 2001 BMW car was super fuel efficient, and then for whatever reason the 2028 model guzzled gas and you chose to buy it anyway…
This really isn't a new problem. That's why the mantra in running restaurants has been "location, location, location". Location was a proxy for marketing and attention, based on foot traffic. So yes it does need to be…
I agree I only wish I could convince some humans in my life to slow down and do things with care.
This is not the bar for societal adoption, and we can already see a demonstration that it is false. A waymo is basically an industrial strength robot. It operates among inherently unpredictable humans already. There is…
I feel like people who have high EQ should actually grasp the infinite depth and complexity of even the median human. Just imagine, there’s a woman Alice who cleans your home once a month. On this particular day, she…

No technology in the world can protect you against every threat model and unlikely scenario. What if the robber hits you in the head and you get brain damage and forget your password?
What the law says and enforcement of the law are sometimes 2 different things, but generally employees should not be shorting their own stock, lock up or no lock up. The issue is that this creates a conflict of…

You compared “companies in the US” to this 1 thing that 1 company did in Japan. Why don’t you cherry pick the compensation at 1 company, maybe nvidia or openai, and do the comparison.
