If they go bankrupt and people move away for newly pedestrianized cities that are nicer to live in, perhaps they will be razed eventually 🤔

Weirdly enough, I went to a book store one time, picked up one of his newer books, didn't think I'd like it from the summary, but I read the first few pages and was hooked. Had to leave so I figured I would read the rest by downloading from libgen.is...

First time I've felt significantly disappointed not being able to read a book :'(

No, he just said AI isn't like human brains because its a "statistical machine". What I'm asking is how he knows that human brains aren't statistical machines?

Human brains aren't that good at direct math calculation either!

Also he definitely didn't explain what "lost art" is.

  1. How do you know human brains don't work in roughly the same way chatbots and image generators work?

  2. What is art? And what does it mean for it to become "lost"?

Its not gentrification if we build enough of it!

I think a land value tax would speed up the process of building more houses, and would make housing denser because owners of the land would be incentivised to build as many houses as possible to not loose money to the land value tax.

Fries could be argued for, its the sugary soda that is the real issue. Sugar is absolutely terrible in large amounts frequently...

What should be your reason? Why is wanting the right to use whatever software I want not a good reason?

Software is not weed, it is not an automatic assault rifle, it is information. You could literally speak the binary encoding of the software aloud if you had enough time, and I'm pretty sure freedom of speech is a right everyone has.

i dont think you are gonna read any of this

THINK AGAIN YA DAM LIB XD

In all seriousness though, I can understand your desire for utopia and for technology to solve all our problems (I desire those things too!), but I think people generally view those two desires as naive. The world's problems usually don't have simple solutions, AI is still somewhat of a new area of research with its own potential dangers, and putting all your stock into AI solving our problems ignores the very real solutions that could be implemented sooner rather than later.

But don't beat yourself up too much over meaningless internet points, learn about what you're interested in more! If AI is your cup of tea and you want to learn more about the potential issues with creating super powerful AI, I can strongly recommend the channel "Robert Moses AI Safety". Particularly his videos about The Orthogonality Thesis and Mesa-Optimizers.

Install the flatpak version perhaps?

Political conservatism obeys none of the other dictionary definitions. It's just a label. It's the label chosen by generations of influential public figures whose general philosophy is "Well someone has to be the king."

Isn't this kinda true of most politically-associated labels? Communism, socialism, capitalism, egalitarianism, progressivism... they can all be thought of as general ideas, but when someone actually uses them, they could be referring to a more specific concept, or twisting the idea a bit, or referring to a specific person's definition of the idea and its kinda hard to know how to interpret it...

Unless the cars on the road are going to fast for comfort or are too agressive, then do whatever you can to not feel like you are going to die at any moment.
