Won't they also be less of a bottleneck in the destruction of the world as well? i.e. the power grid, the financial system, industrial control systems, military command and control networks, etc.

Or it could be a sign of a greater amount of financial intervention to preserve the value of the stock market after crashes, particularly since most people are largely counting on their 401k/IRAs to maintain their value in their retirement years

No, just the ones rated 9 or higher

The crashes seem be getting smaller and more frequent

> Yes you can, the US could shut down the entire internet if it wanted.

No, they can't. The rest of the world would just route around the US with BGP. All of the US infrastructure/service providers would be down, so a ton of things would break, but the Internet would not be "shut down". The US government also no longer has authority over the DNS root servers. So unless you're referring to thermonuclear war or some similar scenario then the US does not have this capability.

That is the longest run-on sentence I've seen in quite some time

If you read the comments on the Github issue for Nitter shutting down you'll see that's precisely what it is

At first I thought Redlib was a pejorative term for how left-leaning Reddit is

Liability for the professional that knows if they botch a job in horrendous fashion that they could lose the ability to continue practicing their profession.

Emulation and realistic proxies are the solution for people who simply want to play and not invest

Who is surprised by this development?

Excellent reference

Do it anonymously?

It's only being added to the Nasdaq 100, not the SP500, and only a very small number of people have their 401K tied to the Nasdaq

Edit: Actually, I didn't realize that it's being added to MSCI, so I was wrong: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/msci-confirms...

> Anecdotally I know of some parents having a battle with their local school because their kids have been watching this sort of crap in kindergarten.

I'm imagining a scene from Idiocracy where a kindergarten teacher is the person whose job it is to press play on Youtube videos

The overall trend in AI performance will still be up and to the right like everything else in computing over the past 50 years, improvement doesn't have to be linear

A robotic surgeon can use the data from the LLM to perform the appropriate surgery for you. Ditto for the automated pharmacy kiosk.

That Harvard degree will be irrelevant since no one will be hiring humans.

This sounds eerily familiar to the naysayers who claimed that no one would ever buy a pair of shoes or a car online in the late 90s/early 2000s.

From day one everyone who worked on these ad-tech surveillance systems knew they had the capability for abuse. They were built to come as close as possible to the legal limits of surveillance and in several notable cases crossed that line. This isn't a surprise to anyone

This is a childishly simplistic view of the world
