This. They're literally attempting regulatory capture of the GLOBAL market for this stuff. It doesn't get more unfair and against the spirit of free trade and equal opportunity.

A bit of an aside, but I'm upset at the modern business world letting the definition of "engineer" slip so much. An engineer is formally a licensed expert (P.E. holder). Same with an attorney. These titles only hold merit due to the rigor of education and licensure.

I mean, that's assuming we're aligned on goals. I don't know that Altman et al. care much about digital sovereignty. I don't think it's ad hominem to debate the validity of someone's ethics or motivations.

> "Below us - nothing.

"Nothing but the frenchman" lmao. The irony. I wonder if this was meant to be satirical.

Just put in ads and make it free...

Sinclair was right.

They did notably abstain from saying Israel was not involved, even when they did so for Russia.

Oh yeah you know there's some corporate landlords in there hehe

>Outsider to the administration

Hahaha. Haha. You serious?

It doesn't mean the money they have couldn't be put to better use serving others.

If there's a law of dimishing return on money owned, the only rational thing is to share with the less fortunate knowing that, say, $5,000 is not even a penny on the ground to you but could feed a family for a year in most parts of the world. Maybe you fed the next Einstein, or helped the next Peter Thiel develop empathy.

I've got something much more persuasive than $10k.

Sonic weapons can cause damage to tissue without being visible on the skin. It's science, not magic.

Wasn't there a relatively high-profile case of a journalist dying of "nothing" after whistleblowing recently? I only remember that a directed energy weapon was one of the proposed methods of their assasination.

Bro is a professional leech. Dropshipping -> Private Healthcare -> Siphoning VC Dollars is a crazy pipeline.

The trendy desire to blame obesity for preventable death is nauseating. Obesity doesn't kill people. Heart attacks and cancers do.

FFS.

I'm gonna ask a stupid question, forgive me. Have you ever tried using THC/CBD as a way to manage symptoms before? I'm always curious to get more people's experience on this since literature is so sparse.

I wonder how people would weigh in on the death penalty if the executioner got selected from the criminal's peers akin to a jury.

That's fair. They also state in the article that it's been helping food delivery services, and that seems like the real use-case

Innovation and capitalism are not mutually inclusive.

He's mad about his bots lmao

I mean, you could also argue that the lack of reliance on physical controls caused the incident in part. For example, a City's public works department may have remote access/control for some of their equipment, but they also have a kill switch that removes all connectivity and reverts the system to a default setting. They also have checks in place like "if the unit heater will be overamped, turn it off." This seems like it was caused by a lack of security considerations when making these devices "online". Old tech can work very well for a long time as long as it is modernized correctly.

Why not both?

Hey, Civil Engineer here. Although I totally understand what our pure math friends are saying, I want to emphasize that the nature of math is interpreting and validating results, not doing the math. You may not be aware from the other side of your moat of very difficult or abstract concepts, but technology has been slowly removing friction and optimizing for efficiency for every other math user for a long time now. I understand that it's not fun to have AI do an aspect of your job better than you, but as perpetual students it's our job to turn the tools into progress. Also, I think that anyone standing on the "no AI in math" hill will die on it, and will die on it soon.

Honestly, this would have pretty positive effects on costs of medicine, replacement parts for machinery, etc. It definitely hampers the regulatory capture moat that these companies build.

Anything we do to stop enshittification at this point is like fixing a sinking ship with duct tape. You're working against human nature, it's not going to happen.

It could also be that they're leveraged to the tits and plan to use it for citizen surveillance. Just a thought.

Damn, sorry rationalists. Don't come to the midwest though. We're normal here and don't have any events celebrating literally shitting where you eat.

I got some bad news for you...

This is hilarious. The intersection of rationalism and horniness will be remembered in the future much like the old English aristocratic social order or the social circles portrayed in The Great Gatsby. Just a bunch of pompous, self involved assholes wasting their money in increasingly more stupid ways.

Correct. Anyone who is not in the ownership class is getting scammed. Minimum wage hasn't went up in forever, union participation down, college graduates are getting stiffed at the finish line, etc. Don't be asinine and act like a systemic issue is someone's personal problem. It's like telling someone in medical debt "well, don't drink and you won't get cancer."
