But also if you have schizophrenia, but all the people around you -for some reason- have chosen you at random to aggressively reward your schizophrenia and lavish you while also threatening that if the illusions stop, they will kill you, then schizophrenia really isn't a problem, in fact it's the best thing that ever happened to you. Saves your life every day.

But it's still a thing. Maybe you can't refer to it as a disorder, but you are hallucinating stuff. It's a set of material facts about your mental state.

Some of Donald Trump's various disorders have objectively rewarded him, generously. But he has those conditions. He doesn't not have narcissism just because his narcissism is good for his bottom line.

I think the issue is that medical criteria are functional- what should doctors do about this. If it's not even bad, they shouldn't do anything! And this gets translated as "nothing is there to treat" but shouldn't be translated as "nothing is there to notice"

My wife used to turn off all the lights before we both ran to work, but she would usually start doing it when I was half naked and looking for my keys wallet and phone.

I replaced everything with LEDs and stressed that the price of leaving the lights on was less than being 2 minutes later to work and absolutely nothing compared to getting fired for being late.

Yeah I got a phone case with a card slot and it makes it so so much easier

Please touch grass. You are either exploiting people all day, taking the money they make and putting most of it in your own wallet, or you're being exploited and you're just experiencing Stockholm syndrome.

And McDonalds would have to pay for the cost of taking care of the robot

No.

What is something more wasteful than Bitcoin?

It's a nondescript pollution factory from the Captain Planet cartoons.

Every other wasteful activity has just been overconsumptive, decadent, or externalized, not an actual burning of resources for no reason.

Making renewables isn't actually useful if they're used for something we don't even need to do. We could switch to a low-energy crypto currency and do all the things we were going to do with Bitcoin.

I mean

Just make a contract to pay them a decent amount of the company doesnt go tits up

That's available to Jeff Bezos, he just doesn't need it right now. I guarantee you if militants were blowing up Amazon trucks regularly, and the US government was ineffective to stop it, there would be Amazon MRAPs patrolling the streets

Remember when they said 10 trillion in debt would cause a massive crisis?

For instance Russia, China

I refuse to use any service that reports on my active use of the service. The "seen" feature was created like a decade ago, and that took me from occasionally using Facebook, to never using Facebook.

I mean, even the ones that were not just blockaded, but genocidally invaded, still turned from really bad feudal peasant states into modern industrial nations faster than any previous countries.

That's horrible. I think you don't know what a meaningful life is.

It's not optimized for consumers. It's optimized for the c-suite.

You shouldn't be posting if you are doing bottomtier rhetoric.

Well said! I'm going to use this and other people should as well.

Damn, you're probably right, even though it would never work that way for a greenback.

The CEO said he wouldn't stop crimes happening on there

Could be neither, or it could be that adding to 20 billion dollars is different than adding to 100 thousand dollars.

Unions are for every single industry.

Even worse, they can pretend they have evidence that they don't, pretend they believe the evidence, and pretend it's enough to convict you by itself.

They can tell you to just say you were there, and they'll go easy on you. You lie and say you were there, now they have evidence that can actually lock you up, even if you are a random person off the street.

What? No that's horrible, the problem is obvious.

Oh man, the conclusion doesn't even follow from the argument, and it's pretty obvious on its face.

The only correct conclusion from those axioms is:

There are advantages to not raising money.

I'm getting down votes here, does anyone really think Facebook wouldn't do this?

In the long term, Deepfake won't make people believe in fake videos, it will just make all confidence in video evidence disappear.

People will trust some fake videos until they see stunningly realistic videos of themselves hanging out with Hitler, or whatever.

Later we will have some video devices that use some kind of encryption and network connectivity to validate frames of video faster than they could be post-processed, creating trustworthy video. However, crazy people will just say the organizations running the validation are illegitimate.

I don't think so? Can anyone answer this definitively?

Ugh, yeah Facebook probably bought Oculus thinking:

-What if a lot of people use these in the future

-What if they're really comfy when they get slim, and people use them all the time, even for essentially web browsing.

-Later models can easily have internal and mouth facing cameras so you can smile at people in VR

-Let's intimately observe the finest twitch of every expression felt by our users, peering deep into their minds, learning more about how to manipulate and destroy humans than anyone ever thought possible.

Huge. I'm glad Zuckerberg is probably panicking.
