   Seems to be rather sturdy in my experience. Would we even be able to read an electronic record after 100 or 200 years of storage? Old piece of paper is quite accessible.

   So which one is the ground truth if there is a difference between them?

   What's wrong with an old fashioned paper registry then?

   Then fingerprints in passport and person shouldn't match, no?

   Seems like Ireland only currently (looking at the Danish Minstry of Foreign Affairs on passports). And, yes, age threshold for kids.

   Which EU passports don't (other than below some age, lack of fingers etc.)? For a while some older ones might not have, but not sure if the expiry would still be long enough? Edit: seems like Ireland is the odd one out (Danemark could,

   EU passports do.

   Is there a high incidence of forgeries?

   The fingerprints in the passport can't do that?

    If the US gets the data anyway, why the need for access?

    I don't see how the UK could generally be self-sufficient in any large war.

    If I were to give you ten atoms of Po210, could you tell me which one will be next to turn into Pb206. What's your algorithm to do that?

    Atoms don't decay? Radioactive decay isn't a thing? But at least we agree there is nothing we can predict.

    Revealed preference isn't about no choice (or oddly forced), but rational choices and my point is that we don't know how much here is "no choice" vs "rational choice". It is not a revealed choice for most peopl

    I don't think there is that agreement that it is in total a net negative to society. That said, with bans upcoming or in force in a lot places, what measures should we monitor to see improvements in wellbeing etc. (screen time isn&#x27

    My point was that we cannot predict which atom decays next. If you want to claim that we could predict which specific atom decays next, I'd really like to see a lot more explaintion and exposition as it would upend current understandin

    Not convinced that we are seeing revealed preferences or something else (being "priced out", for example). Failure and uncertainty are part of life, so I have no issue with those. What would be "genuine" about the physic

    I don't see how such robots would be sufficient there and recent trends might mean little over the next decades.

    How much of any gains the machinr owners could keep isn't just up to them - I think they look more powerful than they are.

    What is the thought experiment then to show other than a hypothetical piece of compute hardware? What's the experiment and its implication beyond the existence and its properties?

    Is it possible to clone without destroying the original brain (and is a semiconductor the right substrate for it)? Thinking of the no cloning theorem here...

    But do people want fewer and fewer physical relationships, friendships, etc. ("loniless epidemic" comes to mind here, for example)? Humans liking being around other humans doesn't preclude failure there - but that wouldn&#x27

    Whether or not it decreases the costs of advancedment would depend on what is causing advancement to have costs. Some things might be addressable by cognitive technologies, others might not. If capital doesn't create a return evenutall

    Sorry, "who" not "how". If we are just talking about the physical environment then totally fine - a rock doesn't care about me, for example. Humans tend to care about humans at least in some situations on average, t

    Unless AGI has actual god-like powers, the owners don't have that power. Governments' and public opinion can change and are not so easy to control as you make it out to be. Is, for example, the EU AI Act or the GDPR the will of th

    What are your KPIs there? Global concert attendence is pretty high these days, for example.

    How is the "world"? Why does the "world" have that power? Machine owners don't have the power, for example.

    How do you predict which atom decays next from there?

    In the extreme, could just agree not to use technology in some areas (which isn't something unheard of). Human agency is real and powerful - unless humans want to automate all work, it won't happen.
