It's a good thing most foods now have sugar substitutes like splenda and you can request sugar substitutes in your coffee as well. HFCS is a non-issue.

Then there is nothing to worry about because everything since WW2 has been fine as far as cognition and general health is concerned. Although, IQs and sperm quality have been declining for a while now but it's probably unrelated to all

This is a great opportunity to tell you about my patented and trademarked architecture for achieving AGI: "panoptic computronium cathedral"™. All I need is $80B to make it happen and make AGI a reality. It's construction will

Oh so you're doing me a favor? That's great but the only favor I need from you is to tell your friends about the panoptic computronium cathedral. Thanks again for being so helpful but I just need money to save humanity and don&#x2

It has nothing to do with your subjective experience and everything to do with the fact that wanton use of resources, animals, and people for selfish purposes is fundamentally immoral and atrocious. The fact that the aggregate effect ends u

So you are willing to deny Carta the ability to generate profits because you do not think that confidential financial information should be used to set prices on some financialed instruments and commodities. Did I get that right?

You ever buy a sandwich with meat in it? How about coffee? Chocolate? Driving a car? Use pesticides to clear your home of termites? Poisons to get rid of rats and other "pests"? Do you use smart phones and other gadgets with rare

> Man furnishes no exception to the rule. He seems to add the treachery and deceit that the other animals in the main do not practice, to all the other cruelties that move his life. Man has made himself master of the animal world and he

This is just good capitalism, enabling market transactions and profiting from the trades. The people arguing against Carta are advocating the prevention of perfectly valid market transactions because some CEO of a tech company got the ick a

Definitely, it's always a good idea to modify metabolic pathways at the DNA and RNA level by injecting ourselves with protoviruses. Nothing will go wrong and lots of money will be made.

For sure, I just eat pills all day like Ray Kurzweil. His stack is proprietary though so I had to reverse engineer all of it from his writing about the singularity.

Is this a parody? I remember doing this bit about Grok and how it would be used to automate ad targeting and optimization but it looks like Spotify did it for real. It's great to see that I keep hitting these targets about how AI will

How about a proper diet? Has anyone looked into how acne is related to diet? I'm sure this pill will be great though, every problem can be solved with enough synthetic medical chemistry.

An LLM is an interface/veneer over crowdsourced knowledge found on the web and whatever human labor is used for "RLHF". As such, LLMs do not change any of the economic dynamics inherent in capitalism and its markets. The goal

This is a great parody product. Well done. I couldn't tell at first that it was an art project.

There is no downside to being unethical if you can make money and evade the law. By capitalist and libertarian doctrines it is perfectly fine to trade ethics for money. For example, exploiting the price differential for programming is a leg

That's just how capitalism works. If an employer can profitably exploit workers then they will do so without any hesitation. Otherwise, it is impossible to generate profits. Capitalism persists because no one really cares if instead of

I did not know that 20th Century Fox was woke but since they are owned by Disney I'm sure they have the required number of diversity hires on their board of directors and studio executive teams. This would logically follow from their D

Yes, you should all be building GPUs so that I can put it all together in my panoptic computronium cathedral. I don't know what this fool is going on about but once we have enough GPUs we can do everything else by simply asking the AGI

Good thing the universe is full of that stuff. We'll all be rich once we figure out how to suck it out of space.
