I like the threat of factory destruction. It adds to the flavour, and makes designing the factory not just about pure optimisation

Depends how much you want to avoid caged hens

Food culture has (in general) moved on in the UK from that period!

Better thought of as an immune modulator than suppressant. Ultimately it’s a blunt tool when we lack more specific agents. Yes, it will have risks including infection, but the benefits may (or may not) outweigh the risks.

In your opinion which services are most worthwhile hosting on a rpi? I’m interested in it, but life always gets in the way.

I would think it would not lead to a transfer of consciousness and instead just make a copy of you. I recommend black mirror, it deals with one technological change (usually) and shows how it can be dystopian (usually, there are occasional

Out of interest, what do you think would happen to your sense of subjective experience on sci-fi upload? And secondly have you watched black mirror? In that show they show many great ways there the end of death is just the beginning of eter

That’s is true and a reasonable point. But looking in This thread you can see there has been this reaction from quite a few.

I agree, it’s just more about the intent than anything else, like boasting about your amazing new job when someone has recently been made redundant, just before Christmas.

Can I just say what a dick move it was to do this as a 12 days of Christmas. I mean to be honest I agree with the arguments this isn’t as impressive as my initial impression, but they clearly intended it to be shocking/a show of possib

Perhaps we will return to meeting in real life. Physical presence probably has a few decades left before robots are indistinguishable from humans

In which case you may like how it’s done in the UK. it’s technically debt but in essence works as a graduate tax. The government pays for your education with a loan. You then only pay back 9% of your income over a certain income threshold.

It could be argued that a similar level of caution should be applied to artificial neural networks. I always find the discrepancy in application of ethics between biology and technology to be an interestingly wide gulf.

On searching for the mentioned model “bad one” it sounds like it’s provided by a British company “Brit alliance”, although these may be modified robots from another company.

But interestingly also a very high genetic factor with 90% of identical twins both having T2DM (which is greater than that of type 1 which if I remember correctly is 40%)

Because they only briefly flirt with ham radio? When you account for time on air rather than total number of connectors, it’s probably still all boring people.

That is nice, and I really resonate with that. But I would be interested to know: would you still tip if you knew they now no longer catered for the broke college student? Are you tipping as a thank you to how they treated your historical s

Which makes no sense as it does not make any profit as a non profit and relies on donations…

I don’t think OpenAI company structure would allow an acquisition per se, although how much they bend the rules (such as with Microsoft) has not been tested

For me having kids has been massive personal growth. In some ways having kids is synergistic with many of life’s goals and personal growth. Career, less so, but I can a more capable human for being a parent.

Wait but why is great, but I always thought it ignores sigma curves and diminishing returns which come for all things
