I agree with the fact that LLM's inherently lack agency and I think it's a pretty subtle distinction but it's an extremely consequential one. AI cannot self-initiate anything, they are only able to produce an output as a resp

you gotta explain why the analogy is applicable, otherwise I could do the same thing and say "I don't understand why so many people are convinced that hovercars won't replace automobiles one day." Infinite analogies coul

For a second I thought the title was implying that they were giving the "all clear" TO the asteroid, like, "all good, we won't stop you if you wanna destroy us all." And it didn't even stand out to me as an esp

Nobody else likes Moby Dick lol. Or James Joyce. Plenty of other great choices imo though

My wife has a "Dr Dennis Gross Red Light Mask" that has a setting for 650nm + 850nm red light. Supposed to help with aging or something but the specs match up perfectly. Probably way too expensive for people to buy for this purpos

the problem is that if this becomes more common your argument won't be an option. It'd be akin to saying "just ignore the company's offers for health insurance" - well now our whole system is designed to account for

yeah very true. I don't think anyone could disagree with this but somehow many people seem to be missing this perspective entirely

couldn't someone have said the same thing about health insurance when it was new and only a few companies were doing it?

I think people who don't like it are just afraid of where this appears to be heading, and they are just resisting the idea of employers gaining anymore control of other aspects of peoples lives. Of course, the people who do this are te

The current stage of development of consciousness that the world is going through(and seemingly reaching the end of) is one of competition and individualism. There are good and bad aspects of this, as with all other stages of development, b

People aren't going to like this, if most people did then the modern age wouldn't be what it is. I think it's important for people to see things from outside the bias of their current age, the "spirit of the times",

Just because they don't hypocritically claim they care about their employees and only laid them off because they HAD to, doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize them and (if possible) use our leverage as workers to influence them

I think it's commonly known, maybe not proven, but also it's a case of can they? yes. Would they? yes. As long as you agree with those two premises it's pretty likely

I've had the same experience, and often(when I'm not too lazy from smoking), I'll write down the ideas to read when I'm sober. Usually they are correct and kind of insightful(by this I simply mean, insightful relative to

If the response counts as a comment, then that ratio is impossible to fulfill - although in that interpretation it'd be impossible to fulfill IRL as well, so I don't think we can use comments vs replies as a metric, unless you onl

yeah I was thinking the same thing as I wrote it actually, but went with that example anyway as it's a typical example for a job that pays more because of a lower supply of people willing to do it. Could've used those ice-road tru

you're right, I kinda skimmed the article but I see what you mean now. I am a bit sensitive when articles like this even refer to "the left" or "the right" because I'm so conditioned to think it's another

by moe091 4y ago
I agree with that point, but this article basically just a report of one small piece of a huge issue we've known about for years, that so obviously encompasses both sides of the political spectrum, and tries to use it to make the left

I mean, have you seen how much pay has gone up in low-skilled jobs? There are signs at all the local businesses in my area offering $15+ an hour for cashiers and fry cooks and whatnot. The same kind of jobs I worked 7-8 years ago for $8 an

If it's such a good deal they should have no problem finding plenty of employees for those jobs. If Gen Z is opposed to those kind of working conditions for some reason, then it's just a matter of supply and demand - like how tras

If you choose to reply, I have a few questions just to get an idea of where your at. In my opinion, all that stuff "healthy"/functioning people say to depressed people is technically correct, but completely missing the point

I think I can at least somewhat understand your position, despite still being in my 30s myself, and want to try and help despite my inexperience. First thing, to answer the question in your post title: I know of people who have, I know many

The way I see it, the whole "chemical imbalance" thing is just one of many approaches, or ways of interpreting, psychological problems. You could say "This person is depressed because they don't have enough serotonin&quo

I'm not too attached to my conclusion, in fact I hope it's not true, and have also thought about what you said. But I am convinced that, eventually, humans will be capable of making autonomous AI advanced enough to "replace&q

by moe091 4y ago
Going off your point, even if we aren't quite there yet, there is no reason to suppose that AI won't eventually be massively better at basically ALL things than humans - that's certain the direction we're headed, and ver

That's a great parallel, especially since it supposes a possibility of a good(or at least acceptable) ending to all this, rather than just spiraling into chaos. I only fear that there won't be enough profit motive for such gatekee

I agree with your point, but also think this trajectory is kind of inevitable in a way. As we can already see, a LOT of people are living deep in a world of BS news stories and made up facts, to the point where they're basically in a d
