Hard question because activism commonly isn't straightforwardly legal. Legal activism kinda doesn't work because corruption is invested in the status quo and has the power to suppress rogue actors. But there's lots of technology companies you could build that could defeat corruption by making a technology that makes corruption infeasible. It's a circuitous route to activism though, and it doesn't feel as powerful or immediate as traditional activism. And you're likely to be subverted by the corruption, else losing your business or being branded a criminal.
Illegal activism isn't much better though. Snowden & Aaron Swartz were modern activists that told truth to power and got hammered.

There's a reason your country has sustained corruption that has global implications. Do you know what foreign influences the corruption serves? A good way to tell might be finding out what corporations are invested in your countries​economy. Then as an activist you can target that corporation in your search to expose the truth of who funds and perpetuates the corruption.

Reminds me of how the Congressional Black Caucus pushes for billionaires' repeal of the estate tax under the guise of racial equity. I think they try to make it into social issues, racial justice, just to divert the conversation from the indefensible root of their positions.

> “Full repeal of the estate tax would allow African Americans to pass the full fruits of their business success to the next generation and thereby laying the foundation for a permanent minority ownership class that can contribute to the economic growth and development of the United States economy,” Robert Johnson, whose worth has been estimated at more than half a billion dollars, wrote to the House Ways and Means Committee last week.
> On the other hand, the entire medical history of restricted lesions and targeted deficits (Broca's area, Wernicke's area, patient HM's hippocampal anterograde amnesia, visual scotomas, etc etc etc) indicate some brain areas really are specialized for some things more than others.

Wouldn't the evolutionary history of the brain imply that information is encoded in two different ways in a lot of cases. Ie. that the components of the older 'lizard brain' (if you'll excuse the issues with that term) have a rather fixed function, but the neocortex evolved overrides to those functions?

Like sure, we've got a much better understanding of grid cells and place cells in the hippocampus, but does that mean that there isn't similar information being stored in a different way in the neocortex?

Why don't you ask about this at an all-hands if you're so sure it's never happened or if you're so sure that everything stupid and wrong at large companies like Facebook gets addressed quickly?

I'm actually encouraged to hear others have had a different experience there. But there's plenty of stupid crap I've seen go down as well, much like other large companies. For not everything rises to the level of public discussion rather it becomes yet another papercut leading to the decision to depart.

And if you were on a corporate VPN you wouldn't get detected and blocked by Netflix.

Let's not be disingenuous here: we're not talking about VPN the technology -- it's impossible to detect if someone's traffic has passed though a VPN. We're talking about public 'VPN Services' which are all but billed for circumventing region locking, ISP throttling, and piracy.

Any kind of content provider would blacklist those endpoints in a second.
The past is not prologue, thinking machines have never happened before in the past, so it's rather irrelevant that past automation for simple manual labor type things just shifted humans to new jobs.

You're really not thinking clearly, you can only push humans to new jobs if the robots can't also do the new jobs. Jobs will not just shift, they are being eliminated entirely and new jobs will not displace them because said new work will be automated from the start. When robots can "think", then automation doesn't just shift jobs, it kills them forever. Human labor both physical and mental is now being obsoleted, this has never happened before, industrialization was not remotely the same.

Now add taxi drivers. Now add non-semi truck drivers, such as delivery drivers for auto parts stores, pizza, or couriers.

Now lets hop outward just slightly: Lets include most shipping personnel, whether involved in packing, organizing, shelf arrangement, etc. While we're at it, lets do that for any big box store in the country.

With barely any adjustments, this single technological shift inside of one vertical just eliminated 5-10 million jobs.

This also only includes one level of extrapolation. What about the HR jobs related to these positions? Safety inspectors? Managers?

This is all ignoring the fact that "3.5 million is no big deal" is ridiculous. 3.5 million is massive. Losing that many jobs over 5 years would be a massive increase- it'd cut that 200k number by 1/3rd by itself, not including any of my additions above.

The entirety of the 2008 recession resulted in 8.7 million job losses- and a lot of that were temporary losses based on less revenue than previous years, so with a better economy the jobs would return. The jobs we're talking about now? They're never coming back. Nothing similar is coming back. They're gone, forever.
Ouch, the contrast :(

I'm excited about the latest developments in AI too, but RL and consciousness are pretty extreme apples and oranges. I agree with Searle that it's a bit insane to wave away the role or even existence of consciousness ('metaphysical topic', etc.), especially in the context of developing a stronger AI. Just because we don't yet have a mapping of consciousness to types of structures, virtual or otherwise, that could be implemented in an AI system, doesn't mean we should pretend like we've moved beyond it.

As cynical as it sounds, I think I agree with this sentiment even though it's being downvoted.

The employees at an insurance company have an ethical responsibility to the company to deny any claims that do not perfectly align with the policy they sold. I don't think every insurance company is the antagonist in The Rainmaker or the car company in Fight Club, but insurance companies will try to reject as many claims as they can, straddling the line of losing reputation with consumers.
> If I wanted to buy the BluRays of all the series I've watched on Netflix it would be way too costly.

Ditto, but almost everything I watch is one-and-done. The series that I like enough to watch more than once are few and far between...so I tend to buy those, whenever they come up in a particularly good sale. Among things I liked enough to buy, the longer it's been since I watched it last, the more likely I am to watch it in the near future. But the longer I wait, the more likely that some contract expires, and it disappears from streaming services.
Sure.

If you take a look at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/x-26-07.pdf, points 6, 13 and 14 are the most important.

If you give too many benefits to contractors, they could make a plausible case that they're full time employees and will be able to sue for back pay, benefits, and punitive damages. For instance, for point 13, you could argue that a free shuttle would be paying for your travel expenses.

It's definitely a gray area, but large companies have very deep pockets and a very public lawsuit would harm them in ways that would not harm a startup without much money, and policies get made. Google I think is erring on the side of caution, hence selective caps on benefits and employment duration. "He only works for us 50% of the time, there is no way he's an employee."

EDIT:

And free shuttles could also run afoul of point 9 and point 7, which is doing work on the employer's premises and an expectation of certain hours to be kept. A case could be made that if you're providing transportation to a location, and it's only available for a few hours, there's a certain expectation that you're expected to be in a certain place at a certain time.

That's not how it works by any means...use alcohol as a single example, a normal, healthy liver processes alcohol at a given rate (approximately 1oz of alcohol/hour), your liver is "overwhelmed" when you consume more alcohol than it can keep pace with, that leads to alcohol in the blood and intoxication...that is a far cry from a liver being overwhelmed to the extent their is a lethal amount of alcohol in the blood and death.

Where do you think the disease fatty liver comes from? You do understand a fatty liver isn't going to be functioning normally and more easily overwhelmed by toxins in the future right?

Why do you think children for the first time in history have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? Their livers are being overworked, not to the extent death by toxicity occurred, but to the extent they develop chronic conditions in childhood that it used to take a lifetime to acquire.

No one is talking about mystical healing, rational people are discussing eating foods that promote healthy liver/kidney function, in turn promote overall cellular health, and to the extent possible avoiding unnecessary toxins like smoking or excessive drinking.

Why do you think they're being fooled? We already have masses of people that have been displaced by automation. I mean, just look at Uber. Taxi drivers nearly revolted over the shift that Uber caused because it caused a lot of them to lose their jobs. The immediate response is "but look at how many people had jobs because of Uber. The jobs weren't lost, they were just moved to a different sector." What happens when Uber automates all their vehicles, though? What sector are all those jobs going to move to?
With all due respect, I don't understand how smart people think they can predict the future from a single period in history. When is a sample size of 1 with very dubious generalizability ever enough? Yet, for those who share your views, it's not only enough evidence but sufficient to resist even thinking about the potential for future harms due to mass automation.

-"go meet people" (how?)-

TLDR:
Don't overthink it, just start with smalltalk.

Go to gym. Work out, simply talk to people. Go to a bar. Have a drink, simply talk to people. Look up amateur sport activities in your area (hiking, trekking, whatever). Join, participate. Simply talk to people. Why do I keep saying 'simply talk'? Because in the end it _is_ really simple. Loneliness is consequence of overthinking.
If you don't feel confident, work on your image a bit. Some muscle mass and 'cool clothes' can do wonders (I know it sounds superficial, but hey it's truth).
Are you sure you aren't the one spewing blatant misinformation? The CEO (and founder) of Amazon owns the WaPo.

Any career switch that involves dozens of months of training is very
impressive. I've seen several career switches. One of them was an architect
that took part-time CS studies to become a programmer. Another was a HR guy
that was an electrical engineer before; he was around 40 years old when he
took the same part-time CS studies as the mentioned architect. Yet another
started as a paramedic, then switched to civil engineering, and he still has
enough energy to learn programming (though he's forced to do this, as there's
little construction work around here).
Before I answer this, let me frame my opinion: I very much want single payer in the United States, and were it plausible to do it on a state-by-state basis, I would support it.

Apparently, states are unable to restrict entry into state benefit programs such as healthcare. They can't set up a waiting period for people moving into the state before they are eligible; that was declared unconstitutional by a previous Supreme Court. So if states were to do their own single payer system, in theory sick people could move into the state and immediately gain free healthcare simply by virtue of being a resident. Conversely, they could then move back to their home state that doesn't charge higher taxes.

So it wouldn't be feasible on a state-by-state basis unless a future SCOTUS reverses their precedent. This is unlikely in the short term, given the current Court's make up.

I think that may be Project Fi specific. To my knowledge, Hangouts doesn't do SMS anymore except for Project Fi customers, and even prior to them forcibly removing SMS handling from Hangouts on my Samsung and telling me to find something else after an update, it never synced SMS messages it to other Hangouts instances.
I interpreted the headline as though they meant that the neurons were in a 3d structure and part of the world.
Thanks for clarifying. I think however it's the wrong measure. There are industries that are as large or larger with as much if not more complexity that aren't failing to such a degree that their size is a systemic risk.

For example the US Real estate market is 7.4 Trillion, about 2X the size of the health care market with many more players and much more predicable outcomes. Finance and insurance are about the same size as well and are not terribly broken.

You really seem set on missing kafkaesq's point, take this specific line from the article, and this specific line from you:

the distance between the two classes of Facebook workers can feel immense.

>I don't personally see a difference other than the average wage for what I do.

As a highly-paid tech contractor it is obvious on which side of that class divide you fall. Even though you were a contractor. So when you say that you were a contractor and were still respected that's not really the point. Of course you were respected, you're on the correct side of the class divide. That is the difference in respect here, not contract work per se, but the experience of being a poorly paid service worker who lives in a garage yet spends every day working at a company employing legions of young and wealthy programmers who live in fancy apartments. That's why she says: “We don’t live the dream. The techies are living the dream. It’s for them.” You're that techie, you're living that dream.
