That too. If all/most labor is automated, humans will be free from the 9 to 5 grind. Products will be cheap or free.

Increased intelligence -> automation and scaling of scientific research -> solving complex problems. The chain is rather short. You don't even need immortality right away. Longevity escape velocity.

That's why I said "chance". And no, there's no zero rational connection. LLMs and other types of neural nets are already demonstrating they can solve complex tasks. Unless there's some intrinsic barrier to how intel

That's a ridiculous take. Read some actual AI news, not just titles of pop-sci articles.

It's a problem for me. When you're 60 or 70, you will wish to have a body of a 25 year old. Dying early from rotting teeth is normal in nature, yet you probably brush, floss, and go to dentist.

Cure death, not life. And I do enjoy life, that's exactly why I want it to be much much longer.

Nobody asked for it??? Nobody wants it??? You're not paying attention. I want it. I think it's our only chance at quickly solving huge complex problems like aging, cancer, Alzheimer's.

We need to embrace WebP v2 for this kind of stuff. I took one of their images, resized it to 24x16px, and compressed it with Squoosh at 65% quality. It compresses to just 144 bytes. And it looks way way way better than these CSS gradients.

"President Trump has sued a number of U.S. news outlets, including 60 Minutes, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times and other smaller media organizations for unflattering coverage." Ok, you're straight up lying about

I hate the long form so much. I come for the information about the plane crash details, and I get the wall of verbal diarrhea about pilot's upbringing. At least put all that extra nonsense at the end.

Absolutely not. You can move me to any place on earth, I will not be okay with throwing gay people off the roofs for being gay. The fact that you think like that is kind of insane to me.

Yeah, but Waymo only drives in few selected environments. Unlike Teslas, they can't just self-drive on any random road.

It's very hard to find good books written by humans. GoodReads is okay, but you quickly run out of high-end recommendations. I read mostly sci-fi, and the books that everyone recommends rarely end up being 10/10. But then I see so

It's ridiculous to call these riots "protests" or "demonstrations". We have videos of anti-israely rioters literally running after Israeli students, assaulting them, not letting them get into classes. The propaganda

Largely after abandoning damaging communist ideas and allowing private business to exist. China is no longer communist, it's this weird hybrid of capitalism with heavy government controls and heavy censorship.

It's not very well organized. Why not have a column for which LLMs they give for free, with limits. A column for unique features. A column for pricing. Right now it's just a wall of text I have to read.

That's not a good thing. Most retirement accounts are tied to the market. If you crash it on purpose, you create millions of old broke people.

There's a big difference between a wealth fun and managing nationalized businesses. As a business owner, you're directly invested into your business doing well. And you have lots of knowledge about your business details. Some gove
