Well, in fairness, the OP asked for counterpoints. He didn't stipulate that they need to be reasonable.

If we were to examine your political views, I'm quite certain that your positions would correlate highly with those of the Democratic Party, and likely rather closely to its most polarized incarnation found in San Francisco. By contras

The agenda is TRUTH, which apparently doesn't matter anymore because almost everyone has become a tribal extremist. I consider myself an accidental moderate. I look for the best answer. I don't turn off my brain and bow down to an

I'm not German and knew little of this subject, but I read the piece word for word and I can say with certainty you have not offered enough of a counterargument here. I looked up the Potsdam meeting you mentioned and there were literal

Why should it surprise? It was never about values, it was about signaling. This is commonplace.

People are largely fools who don't understand the (extreme) limitations of their own perception. To offer a useful analogy: we only notice the bad lip filler jobs. AI is all over the place and becoming more undetectable by the day. D

A lot of people have had to accept that they've wasted a considerable amount of time and energy on something that is being heavily devalued by GLP-1's. They've also lost an important vector for status signaling. This particul

Ironically, it's likely that the only reason USG let them get away with this — instead of making obvious and necessary adjustments to copyright law — was so that the industry would remain competitive with China.

By that logic, we should let the Ohlone tribes underbid all existing residents. They too are just rich assholes who displaced those that were rightfully there before them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your comment suggested you'd be unable to afford market rent.

That sounds like a problem for the idiots invested in this garbage and who cut foolish sweetheart debt deals with the hyper-scalers. That's mostly rich people, because they haven't yet found a way to offload their bags onto retail

Data centers are incredibly dense and exposed military targets. This may become relevant in the future.

AIs are not conscious and do not have real needs that are detached from a real person. That can certainly be simulated , but I would hope that we can collectively agree to unplug them should that situation arise.

This author's writing style is too obnoxious for me to have gotten all the way through it, but the important thing is that he's wrong. Every single economic transaction ultimately connects to people generating demand. EVERY single

Not sure why you seem to think people would need to resist the government rather than, more simply, the relatively small number of billionaires who purchase and pervert it.

Anecdotally, a lot of politically far left people I know have gone quiet on the firearms issue. It seems like the state of the country has 2A suddenly making more sense to a lot of people.

Depends on the "human employee." If you're burning an "unimaginable" number of tokens, you're already in the top decile of employees, at least. Will the top decile not become obsolete? Maybe. I certainly hope s

Oh there's plenty of evidence. Because a lot of these people have been committing to repos in public for over a decade. Wouldn't take much to show the world just how fallible human coders really are.
