Isn’t “intelligence” so ill defined we can’t prove it either way. All we have is models doing better on benchmarks and everyone shrieking “look emergent intelligence”.

I disagree a bit on “toys”. Machine summarization and translation is really quite powerful, but yeah that’s a ways short of the claims that are being made.

In a small company noone would try to label you “l5” or “l6” and probably an actual human would make your comp decision. You take the byzantine incentive structure away and people just try to do a good job.

Across all sports the US has over 3 times china’s all time medal totals in both summer and winter games. Not even having double is a pretty significant underperformance.

Maybe we should conclude gun culture makes a nation better at track and field because people get more practice running away 😂

Yeah fuck suicidal people and anyone killed by cops they had it coming. Jesus christ.

As for “justifiable homicide”, you mean like… when the other guy had a gun… You want to discount those deaths why?

If we take your number at face value. This is kind of a trolley problem thing right. Should 99 people get to have a nice day out at the range once a month, which they could easily replace with any other leisure activity, if it means one person has to die violently. If you honestly like those odds then fair play mad max.

You missed the point. Saying that calling it “fun” is problematic doesn’t imply that you can’t have fun, of course you can (I have, a tonne). I assume the above comment called it problematic because they weighed the “fun” of gun owners against 40k dead Americans a year and decided maybe we shouldn’t be focusing on the entertainment.

You can absolutely have more gun control and not really inhibit firearm sports or hunting BTW. The USA ought to have a monopoly on Olympic shooting medals if that weren’t the case 😅

Not wanting to to call the private ownership of deadly weapons fun is hardly “intense”. Of anything it undersells the point.

Speaking as someone who enjoyed regular target rifle practice and competitions for the best part of a decade since you insist that matters.

Obviously everyone knows there are costs. It’s free (at the point of use) but almost noone needs the brackets to be explicit. The point being that it’s more efficient and you continue to get it even if you have no “gross income” because we’re not monsters.

Also how many countries have a “fixed percentage” with literally no allowances or brackets. I can’t think of any.

Agriculture is inherently “developing new products” you fundamentally cannot stop innovating because the growth of a plant is itself a selection step.

Take your point that it might discourage certain types of agri business. But aks yourself: given protection will they work to maximise the benefit to farmers or will they innovate to maximise their own profits (E.g. By creating quasi-monopolies or increasing farms’ dependence on them)?

A normal full time job including holiday is only ~140 hours a month. Assuming you believe their user stats too that would be pretty grim. You probably shouldn’t though.

11 billion engagement hours a month! Does anyone seriously believe that lol. And still not profitable! What do they need, ever human beings every waking hour to spin a profit!?

It’s mad given that Scotland technically is quite pro-renter. You just can’t enforce anything so landlords have learned not to give a fuck. A friend viewed a tennament they were trying to let with no kitchen (as in no cooker fridge or sink). Like something out of trainspotting.

We don’t really know yet just from an empirical standpoint. I theory it seems useful in the narrow areas that it’s good at (translation/summarization and any tasks analogous to those).

We have a running joke at work that any problem it can’t solve is a skill issue with prompt engineering. At least… I hope it’s a joke.

Difference is, everyone knows bioshock is entertainment. And no one bases their actual political philosophy on it.

Thiiis. The insiders need to laud the goals of protesters and the protesters need to ease off on the “complicit” insiders a bit. We are on the same team, and the combination of approaches is more powerful. Disagreeing on methods is fine, you pull, we push, momentum baby.

There are ways to resist short of burning shit down. The idea that this is a dichotomy is exactly the “yet you participate in society, interesting” meme.

What fucks with me is that you can’t control all the variables. School and peers can outweigh the ideas you try to put forward. I feel like I’m working on deprogramming more than I actually have a chance to teach already and my kids are only small.

Fuck me, for self-proclaimed coward you are unbelievably smug. Don’t you consider that a “better” life also means being able to take pride that the way you move through the world doesn’t actively harm others. Just awful.

Guess it depends how you define “bad”. In my eyes a good business does well by everyone: staff get well compensated and have a good work environment, customers get a good product at a fair price, suppliers get their invoices paid, owners (if not a coop) get some ROI and their name on the door. Trump has only ever managed 0.5 out of 4, ergo bad businessman.

Every UI is made for widescreen ratio right? So maybe one portait for reading is cool, but what else do you want it for?
