Which scenario is more likely: The billionaire elite CEOs have suddenly had an epiphany and are now trying to save humanity from AI? or that they've realized they can't compete with China ?

The "sandal-wearing islamists." as you refer them to here, invented Algebra and the postal relay system. The best part of your comment is that US couldn't even defeat the Houthis, who literally wear sandals in the desert.

Very off topic but I think you would highly enjoy watching the movie "Perfect Days (2023)" directed by Wim Wenders. It had a profound effect on me in introspecting my long software career. https://www.imdb.com/titl

The goal is simple: 1. Claim AI is dangerous by performing a whole bunch of malicious stuff 2. Lobby to get Chinese competition banned, kill open source models as well 3. Only get themselves "certified" 4. They have complete contr

It's a cultural thing. For example if you go to Japan, you can hear a pin drop in trains.. cultural homogeneity plays a large role in this.

You don’t think employees with an incentive to profit financially by imposing government regulations on competition should be questioned?

Most people don't buy their phones, they just finance it through the phone carrier as an "upgrade". The phone carriers then upsells their more expensive plans.

It's not just NMS.. the "10,000 bowls of oatmeal" is a plight of all AAA games these days. Ubisfot is a perfect example, look at their "Watch Dogs: Legion" for example. They decided to get creative and give you rand

Side note as another Catholic: Saints Josaphat and Barlaam never had an official decree of canonization. That process didn't exist (in its earliest form) until 1170 AD. Saints before that were generally just acclaimed by the Christians

I just bought a lifetime pro access , I think it was around 200$ but really worth it. I get all the updates for free. Whenever I can, I buy my software now these days instead of renting it.

A better question would be: why do we have a society where the elderly have to work to survive and get their basic needs met?

Not only Greenland but Canadians won't either. I promise you, no amount of change in US policies or election results is going to fix it. Canada has realized that it's a national security issue. The issue is not "Republicans&q

Are you referring to dapoxetine ? It's not approved in US and it's not really a "megadose” of a regular SSRI since it's a different molecule. Also, this is not only medication for PE.. there are many other options like f

The problem is that web applications have an ongoing monthly cost to maintain for bandwidth, usage, disk space, etc.. so the only solution is to charge a subscription. Yes, traditional software also has a cost for maintenance and features b

I'm a Canadian but I don't understand this sentiment towards Americans. I think that citizens of a country should have a say in their policies without it being called "xenophobia". Could some vote for these policies beca

I don't think it would be a military invasion, more like an economical one. Canada relies on US and is isolated from the rest of the world, US can strangle it economically if need be until it folds. They can also cause divisions inside

I don't know.. I tend to think that killing democratically elected leader of a country because they wanted to nationalize their oil, installing a dictator, then spending years trying to destroy the country could possibly upset people.

As a Canadian, my hope is that we can build stronger relations with Europe. I don't think anyone can avoid China but I would rather minimize those ties. We can't afford to cut all ties with United States due to our geography and h

Interesting you say that, because as another Canadian, I would say that the sentiment in our country is the opposite of you describe. The actions of our government reflect it. Canada is moving further from US, not closer. Canadians who supp
