I use almost no MCPs and feel like I'm not missing out on anything, I just use APIs directly or CLIs. I honestly don't quite see the point of MCPs any longer.

YouTube needs a way to report mislabelled AI videos, and actually the "Made with AI" label is a bit misleading. I don't mind if it uses some AI, what I don't want is AI slop, and that can only really be reported by users

It's the case in almost every single European country I'm familiar with. Sweden, Denmark, UK, Germany. In the US it may not take this exact form, but there does seem to be significant fraud tied to people who have an immigrant bac

Only 67,5% of immigrants in the 20-66 age range are employed, and that compares to 79,5% for non-immigrants. And they cost way more than Norwegians and contribute less. Immigrants are also less likely to have full-time jobs and take more si

If immigration to Norway continues the way it has almost every single Norwegian is worse off. Maybe immigration could in principle solve the problems we had if it was done differently, but again, as it has been implemented it will only make

Good for the economy is not the same as good, bad for the economy is not the same as bad. Sometimes good things can still be bad for the economy, like outlawing child labour or slavery. That being said, I don't think there is any evide

I mean this in the best possible spirit, but if it does seem intentionally inflammatory, then I think it's mostly a result of your political priors. The 4th top reply on this submission is: "the current admin are working hard to d

Of course we won't make Type I on the Kardashev scale if we abandon technological progress like AI. "Long-term planning" has never once given us a quantum leap in technology. Having humans "plan" AI evolution is dum

This degrowth anti-technology mindset just does not make sense to me, and I think it's mostly astroturfed from TikTok.

Let's ignore the fact that congress and not the president that allocates funding, and the fact that "scientific funding" is not a recognized obligation or even right of any branch of the US government, and therefore hardly qu

This is about as intelligent as say "If I were 17, I'd learn digital electroinics". You would waste your time. Sure, in theory it's useful, in reality it's not that useful.

So the UN discovers morality by counting votes of government representatives of a bunch of countries for a document that was drafted without their input? And this somehow means it's representative of morality? What relevance does the c

What relevance does that have here, though? Most countries that are actually signatories don't even adhere to it. The UN is totally feckless and hypocritical, and even if they were not, they are antidemocratic.
