FWIW I don't think this is true. Intention matter a lot in US law. If you could prove the AI did something bad entirely on its own and you had nothing to do with it and had no reasonable belief it was possible, I think you'd be al

I’m sure we could come up with a better system than paying extreme amounts of money to detain in terrible conditions non-violent people who were following the rules that were previously given to them.

The vast majority of sitting Democratic senators voted against funding for Israel this year. The DSCC funding is a drop in the bucket of the overall funding in these races, and they have their own goals which may or may not be aligned with

I created a new account recently and the default homepage was all videos that were either (a) AI slop (b) sexual imagery (c) AI slop sexual imagery. Really not what Twitter used to be about. It is possible he's done a good job at the m

In theory I think the stock should be going up because his tenure has found Google getting left behind.

A year ago AI wrote roughly 0% of my code and now it writes roughly 100%. Which is to say any AI study from a year ago is fairly out of date with the speed of advancement.

Sacks has said so many obviously false things in reference to government actions (Jan 6th, Ukraine, etc) that there is no reason to trust anything he says. If the Trump administration wants him to say something, he says it. Maybe what he is

Anthropic just needs to donate millions of dollars to a “MAGA Inc” like Greg Brockman did and they’ll get regulated properly from now on. It’s a perfectly good system for government regulation.

I agree. I’m a social person but I also like my purely functional conversations with LLMs, and I have a lot of them going at once! Doesn’t replace conversations with other people but at the same time I feel no tax talking to the LLMs.

Also for all the people saying Amazon's part in this couldn't be fabricated, remember that Amazon is a "friend of the administration". During Andy Jassy's tenure, they paid $75MM (wildly outbidding everybody else) f

Anybody who isn't at least treating this situation as possibly just an authoritarian government picking winners and losers is not paying attention to the political environment. Companies/countries/people are paying off the go

Well this administration is full of pathological liars, so what are their true intentions with this?

by peter422 3mo ago
It is kinda amazing how quickly everybody else is to support authoritarianism if it agrees with some perceived slight of theirs. I guess that is how it always starts.

The “TikTok ban” was a law passed by Congress that the Trump administration completely ignored until they arranged the sale to a political ally. Both sides are not at all the same in how executive power is being wielded. Be as upset as you

Can we at least debate the obvious externality that an insider might skew their advice or actions to personally profit instead of doing whatever they think is most appropriate for their job? That seems like a big one

It’s clearly AI generated when you see 3 comments of similar style posted in the same minute. Anyways ignore the people downvoting you, I don’t want to read AI generated comments even if they are seemingly reasonable. I appreciate you flagg

It is funny that my first reaction to your post was that you are crazy, but then I looked at his comment history and you are completely right. Boy this is not a good development. I don’t want to spend my time reading AI generated comments.

The reason the top pros like chess960 is because they don’t need to spend hundreds of hours of opening preparation, they can just sit down and play. Caruana (the guy who lost to Magnus), mused in a podcast that chess960 feels strange as a c

Fortunately before working hours on the west coast so it shouldn't impact that many people.

And what about the precedent it sets for other world powers? Why shouldn't Russia or China just do the same and interfere with the leadership of countries they don't like. Also it is impossible to argue the cost of the war in Iraq

I think at least the median citizen in the US has very good access to the best possible care. It may or may not be affordable but you can get it. And yes, that is what I think we optimize for.

by peter422 10mo ago
Perhaps my language was too imprecise. My argument is that specifically the best care in the US is the best in the world. We have the best doctors and the best technology and the best treatments. This is not completely universal but it is a

See what the wait times are for the specialists in other countries, if they even exist! The US is also the 3rd biggest country in the world. It’s very hard to solve these things are such a massive scale.

A struggling business can go under. When somebody is sick we generally save them even if the cost/benefit is poor. No market is going to solve this if you want to save sick people who don’t have a lot of money. There is no place in the

15 out of the top 50 and 4/6 top hospitals in the world are in the US: https://rankings.newsweek.com/worlds-best-hospitals-2025 Again, I’m not saying the health care outcomes are better, or the value is better. I’m say

Your whole argument is that the health care system should be optimized for the most productive members of society (like you, right now). You are perfectly fine to have that belief, but the majority of people disagree with you, which is one

by peter422 10mo ago
The quality of health care in the US is significantly higher than anywhere else in the world. Whether that quality is necessarily (or good) is debatable, but we are getting something for the money. You also are just completely wrong in your

The only title that a founder can have that matters more than "founder" is a CEO. He calls himself a CTO, and that's fine, but he's really just a technical cofounder, and that's what he's acting like (and it so
