they’re junk food-y visuals too. i don’t know how to describe it beyond looking like a cross between fisher-price and a light dose of shrooms.

why'd this get downvoted? at least some of the countries there have populations who are vastly less values-compatible with Good Things we believe in. ceteris paribus we should expect more good from the marginal person being born in Eur

this wouldn't actually fix anything because that's not how politics works. politicians set constraints that maximize their PR points then the job of everyone with a brain is left to scramble for a solution. they also don't ac

Neumann still retains an incredible level of confidence and respect from many of the people who know him. never met the man personally but it's kind of a trip. even from people who i suspect are less clouded by whatever world-class cha

scale. producing that level of return on that amount of capital is nigh on impossible. this makes them structurally worse investors, combined with a fixation on bubbles and unfortunate timing.

i'm glad they're happy but that sounds actually terrible. infinitely worse than living on a large plot of land with trees and a garden, having a nice shop to work in, a comfortable home office, a spacious kitchen, plenty of space

not particularly, no. while the "boomers ruined the economy" trope isn't all right, neither is it all wrong. they effectively mortgaged much of the future value of the country and extracted it. now "old folks" in qu

you're acting as though an immigrant from any of the dense population centers has the same impact as a native-born child on the culture and economy. that is false. sometimes it's for the better (in America, we have many well-educa

Before everyone shoots schadenfreude at the Evil Monopoly Man Bigtechs, please remember this is the same government that is trying valiantly to ban/backdoor E2E encryption. It should be implicitly distrusted. A few things they want, pe

Theoretically could be considered union-busting. But since the company was just acquired (likely sold due to poor performance and almost certainly being reorganized) there is very good plausible deniability.

productivity is what feeds and powers the country. it's amazing how many people forget that no amount of financial engineering will permanently abstract the physical output of goods and services countries produce. there's a line b

no, this is a lousy analogy because there is a clear harm to others in the case of theft. we've tried regulating other difficult to regulate things where the harm is unclear or indirect (drugs being a good example) to no avail. your pi

on the contrary, it's proof that popular support for something can overcome even what was a fairly brutal crackdown by large men with large guns and quasi-military strength. people like dalle and midjourney and chatgpt.

right, this is why i'm specifically questioning your assertion on copyright law. you weren't talking about ai displacing jobs generally, just copyright law - which doesn't protect jobs in marketing, legal, journalism, healthc

can you explain why you think obsoleting the majority of commercial artists will "throw a wrench in our entire economy"? since you're addressing copyright law i'm assuming that's all you're addressing. this sou

...why is #1 bald? this probably sounds like a weird observation but we don't generally draw the generic guy as bald so it seems intentional.

I agree. I'm kind of surprised more unions haven't taken responsibility for opening up co-ops. They have lots of money to do it, it's pro-worker, and it enables them to own the means of production. Unions ironically act very

Probably a better candidate for local applications? Guessing this was a trial balloon against larger models coming though.

Bc that's not as good a comparison? Foundation models are better compared to each other. Can apply vicuna/guanaco/orca/sharegpt/whatever data to it and then do more of an apples-to-apples comparison.

a lot of nations started with groups of men with guns who went from there. a solid millitarized populace is the bootloader for a potential shake-up of government or splintering off.

fair, but it's bullshit. amounts to elites deciding that The System is so good we should ossify it now. consent of the governed should be ongoing and enthusiastic.

people should be able to disengage from society and not pay tax. income and property taxes are retarded and extortionate; we can create a model that fixes this with higher consumption taxes and much lower spending.

i do not trust foreigners and their governments with my information. i don't even trust our own government, but we can at least not hand that over to others. most of the people entering America right now are not doing so under passport

they work much less well washington -> ca because the regulatory diff is larger. and it was more okay for prior immigrants because we had systems like sponsorship. you couldn't show up and get on the dole. this has changed, which is

bad reasoning. e.g. catalonia wants to leave but other states want her to stay - majority rules, right? have to use the system, right? subregions should generally be able to secede. this is essential to maintain "consent of the governe
