Famous last words. As an AI practitioner, I want us invest in research to manipulate other AI military systems but not use AI ourselves. Take a page from the HFT book.

As a counter example, a recruiter once called me asking if I could "put the angular in outlook," recognizing this as total nonsense I said, "Sure that's something I could do" knowing that I would be able to talk to

Nothing I know is first hand, so I may be wrong. I've been influenced by articles like this over the past decade: https://theintercept.com/2017/02/22/how-peter-thiels-palanti...

I'm surprised that Palantir isn't even mentioned in this article.

Yeah, I understand your point. I think I'm communicating why someone has a personal incentive to run for congress under our system since they won't be receiving lobbying money. I'm hoping the electorate isn't under t

With a ~10% approval rating for congress and historical lows across the board for most Americans, I'm not sure it's cynicism. I don't think you could honestly find someone that feels like they are being represented in congres

Great talking again, Kevin! Good question! We're not selling to politicians or political organizations. Our PAC is running candidates that are part of our community. People like you and I; professionals in tech that wouldn't m

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and it's one of the most impoverished areas I've seen in the United States. It's ranked the least educated, highest drug consuming population in American for a few years running. There ar

You are spot on. I lived in NYC for a few years for school and LA is just as crazy as NYC for traffic, except you have to drive.

I think a speed bump solves your problem. When I have to commute into the West Side I have a 1.5-2 hour drive ahead of me. Unless I use Waze, and I can cut that down to less than an hour. There is nothing quite like traffic in Los Angele

I've lived in Los Angeles for the last 5 years and I can tell you that Waze really uses neighborhood routes in the hills, which coincides with the most affluent residents in LA. Unfortunatelly, Los Angeles is built with 3-4 choke point

I see this argument akin to something along the lines of, "A website is really a human because someone needs to maintain it and make decisions on it's appearance." You are describing a tool. People don't say hammers are
