Hey, just chiming in to say that I think this project is really cool even though it's outside the price range of what I can spend on a cool hobby. I'm disabled, and one thing I'm really interested in long-term for humanoid ro

From what I understand the PRC tries pretty hard to provide a lot of incentives to academic returnees. I do wonder if they have a tenure match program, where if you have tenure at an American university of a given calibre you are automatica

I mean, that is certainly what some of them think will happen and is one possible outcome. Another is that they won't be able to control something smarter than them perfectly and then they will die too. Another option is that the AI is
