I do not understand the downvotes. It is a rational response to bureaucratic excesses worldwide in public procurement. It is a plea to more common sense, to more down to earth thinking and decisive action in the public sphere. This is not a

Man. This is where I stop engaging online. Like really, what is the point of even participating?

In this response, I detect the typical European tendency of elevating risk over opportunity. This is not meant as a personal attack, or meant to be defamatory. I am detecting a familiar pattern, that is entrenched culturally. Further, I ide

Nihilistic garbage lecture, that is my first opinion. On the other hand, he could have intended the exaggerated pessimistic outlook, to spur into action. But my bias remains, I don’t like his defeatist attitude.

There is another, third perspective one can have on this. One can both find good reasons and explanations for his behaviour, and at the same time his choices can be judged harshly. I feel we have to heed the complexity of life and the situa

From the article: > They can also increase suicidal ideation. A very close family member committed suicide, after Prozac dosage adjustments made his brain chemistry go haywire. This happened 30 years ago, and it has been known to us that

Its exactly this. And the majority of persons in powerful regulatory roles completely don’t get or comprehend this effect. When regulatory efforts depart from reality,and fail to find the correct middle ground, this happens: The reality sti

This leads to us asking the deepest question of all: What is the point of our existence. Or as someone suggests lower down, in our current form all needs could ultimately be satisfied if AI just provided us with the right chemicals. (Which

Good question that probably shouldn’t be downvoted. A subjective answer is, if you have been there and know this to be real from personal experience. A more general answer would be, as long as we humans sufficiently interact with reality, w

Thats why this move is good news for the rest of the world. Our competitive advantage will increase, year after year, albeit from a low level compared to the US.

To add to this, it is even funnier how travel agents undergo training in order to be able to interface with and operate the “machine readable“ APIs for booking flight tickets. What a paradoxical situation now emerges, where human travel age

The world is full of very shitty, manipulative people. These can be predatory men, or scheming women. For me, the dichotomy is between people that try to act in good faith, and those that don’t.

I would believe so. But someone that better understands the PFAS molecules should confirm.

Get angry at Europe, not Microsoft and USA. Europeans live in a fairy land dream and need to wake up.

Most important question on this entire topic. Fast forward 30 years and modern civilisation is entirely dependent on our AI’s. Will deep insight and innovation from a human perspective perhaps come to a stop?

If there is any way to avoid Paypal, and still continue your business viably, this would be my recommendation. Paypal is not a company that exists for its customers.

The central problem with this statement is that we expect others to care, but we do not expect this from ourselves. We have agency. Whether we are brainwashed or not. If we cared about ourselves, then we don’t need another class, or race, o

I would argue that the sentiment >> GAME OVER is near and they should hurry up still lacks the maturity that comes with age. Or take it as a compliment - you are not there yet. Taking this too seriously also diminishes the quality of

In terms of economics and utility, the last 80% of effort produces 20% of the result. But the last 80% give us something much more that isn’t quantified: The feeling of having completed something of value, and having done it properly, carri

If a company’s goal is to bring rockets to mars/solve world transport logistics/create driverless cars/etc/etc, you are not going to care about what is fair or what creates pressure. You will find the persons that can ge

Without trying to ridicule you, asking “what social contract?” In this kind of discussion is like a first year university student asking “what’s a fraction?” in first year maths classes. An entire section of philosophy is built on this ques

The elephant in the room is this question: What do we value? What is our value system made up of? This is, in my opinion, the Achille‘s heel of the current trajectory of the West. We need to know what we are doing it for. Like the OP said,
