> Are geniuses having trouble solving the problem of acquiring a basic income?

I have 100% meet very smart (genius debatable) people that have trouble solving the problem of acquiring a basic income, or have to over invest time in pursuits beneath them. They usually share some of these common characteristic.

* Highly intrinsically motivated. External rewards like money or reputation don't factor into their decision making, or in some cases demotivate them.

* Social outsider. The usually show behavior a psychologist could diagnosis as a disorder.

* Self learner. They learn by reading or by doing, and very little is learned in a classroom or a group setting.
Just publish your staff only under your domain on your personal website, like we did in the ninetees.
A cost that cuts into what would otherwise be profits. It's all fungible so you're quibbling about an accounting issue here. If an owner made a contract with an employee that they will pay them a $0 salary but will pay them a fixed annual dividend of $100,000 (broken up into convenient bi-weekly payments) would that fix your concern? I'm getting the impression that it wouldn't.
For the specific example I mentioned, it clearly could have been handled much more sensitively.

Don't make bombastic jokes when entering a company you're about to eviscerate. It looks tacky, insensitive, and leaves a bad first impression on the people working there.
Thanks for posting this, that explains the outage I had earlier
companies are successfully but he's had a few inquires by the likes of the SEC, NTSB, etc.
What about Solar, Tunneling, SEC inquiry etc?

He executed well after taking over Tesla and kicking out the founders, but self driving was way over sold.
Not sure why you were down voted. This is a valid question. The challenge is that anesthesia gas and analgesia drugs may contaminate the meat, and most research orgs are understandably terrified of further liability given the already intense pressure on them. (As seen by the Reuters piece, which is clearly a hit job.)
Apple sued by two women over AirTag stalking
Vitalik is a clearly a smart guy but I don't get this "All solvable problems" mindset of him and others. Saying stuff like "supply chain apps" is a key application at the same time global supply chain apps on the blockchain are getting shutdown. The only use case of blockchain is coins and those are merely unregulated pump-and-dump. Bitcoin was an interesting thought experiment but the probably is that you need it to be profitable for individual miners (minus pools) to drive true decentralization and as soon as that is true, economies of scale will win and there will be a drive to centralization.
Exactly, snd it seems a lot of Musks endevours play it fast and loose with regulation. Well, even when it comes to morales, which are an important part of animal testing.

Not that I am surprised the least bit.
That's fine - I understand that you don't see why we're doing it this way.

But if you actually try to implement a system that does what we do, you'll pretty quickly discover why we do it this way.

A lot of your questions here seem to make fundamental assumptions which aren't true: if you're interested in how our tech works, see http://mattereum.com/lp which is a paper from a few years ago which outlines the legal/technical strategy in a bit more detail.

With that noted:

(1) the NFT is a faster, cheaper, easier way of doing the transaction.

(2) executing legal contracts in an atomic way is harder than updating databases in an atomic way. Believe me on this.

The NFT purchase triggers a set of legal contracts to be executed, and identifies the buyer. Without the legals the NFT does nothing. But with the legals alone you're looking at months of legal paperwork to transfer a property, rather than a single purchase on a site like OpenSea.
think of the brain power, and the human potential we’re wasting on solving such shitty problems.

> The thing I don't miss is that I got sick every single Winter. All it takes is one inconsiderate person to not cover their mouth and everyone is getting ill. And it happened all the time.

Give it a few years without exposure, and you will have very hard time if you have to get exposed again. I did 2 years for remote work with a single day with long exposure each week, after a few years with low exposure.

I then had a kid, it took at least 3 full years once it got to day care for my immunity to get trained back to normal. Middly sick at least 4 months total per year, strong fever and/or weakness 4-5 times per year.

I'm all for limited exposure to dangerous infections, but for the sake of everyone, we have to keep our immunity active to stay healthy, and this happens by getting sick times to times.
"The problems with Neuralink’s testing have raised questions internally about the quality of the resulting data, three current or former employees said. Such problems could potentially delay the company’s bid to start human trials, which Musk has said the company wants to do within the next six months."
And I'm curious to know, in your model, if the employees are willing to work without salary and bear the cost of running the company?
It might be empty and sad _for you_, but that doesn't mean it is for everyone. Each person has their own things they enjoy. You sound exactly like the people telling everyone "spend your money on experiences, not things" because that's what makes _them_ happy.

There are a lot of people very happy with the choice they made to have children. There are a lot of people very unhappy with the choice they made to have children. The same things are true of people who choose not to have children.

Just because something is right for you doesn't mean it's right for everyone. And treating them condescendingly because you believe is does makes you the bad one in the conversation.

It seems a little early to conclude this. I think it is possible there will be a great problem fit for GPT that already exists but hasn't been discovered yet, and will be discovered soon due to ChatGPT. For example maybe we can use it to destroy Twitter.
> Practically every single VC seed round story I've heard from new/young founders is that the process is nothing short of a colonoscopy into not only their business, but also their professional network, and even their personal lives!

Really? Y Combinator is famous for its lack of due diligence, and making decisions based on a web form submitted to get to inperson interviews and then a 10 minute meeting to make an investment.

And the biggest VC's of the past few years, Tiger Global and SoftBank did almost no diligence.

The other big VC's in AZ and Sequoia are also known for moving very quickly and not being very onerous with their due diligence.

I guess it could be that most of the VC stories you have heard are from 2nd and 3rd tier VC's who have to be far more thorough?
One example of things that have changed is zero knowledge roll ups. When I first used ethereum, transacting with it was free and fairly quick. The QR code approach meant that it was easier, faster, cheaper and safer to transfer money with it than with my bank account. That changed dramatically for the worse once the systems started getting popular (and traditional banks upped their game too). With L2 systems like zksync, we're back to cheap and fast, and we don't have to give up the central security properties.

Another example of something that has changed for ethereum is Proof Of Stake. Some years ago, I worked for a large financial organisation, and we had a use case that would have saved a lot of internal work to move onto a public blockchain. Given the organisations eco aspirations, using a POW based system was never going to be acceptable. Now that ethereum is on Proof Of Stake, it's actually conceivable that these kinds of applications could be deployed by large financial institutions.
> Immersed in violent, degrading pornography, the expectations of many men regarding sex are now incompatible with women who want a loving relationship in which to raise a family.

This is just traditional gender roles applied to the bedroom. There are certainly women (and men) who want nothing except gentle, loving sex. But that's not universal for either gender. Likewise for any fetish you can name. The trick is finding someone who you overlap with enough to make things work, which is why "no sex before marriage" seems so self-defeating to me.
Wait, Cloud computing is a failure or something that didn't live up to the hype in your eyes?
I would trade the young tween/teenage phase for the toddler phase every day.
I'd be excited if it were an open-source project like SD. I've got zero interest in feeding OpenAI any of my data.
Yishan, ex-ceo of Reddit has a good take on this on twitter [1].

> I talked to a friend of mine who is a professional creative writer and screenwriter, and she had a perspective on ChatGPT that is really different from all the other takes I've read about it:

> I find the voice of all AI writing to be the same regardless of what is asked of it. It's a distinct voice.

> Yishan: But it's very interesting how it's an identifiable voice to you. I don't think most people can notice that.

> Yeah, to me it's really distinct. That's why I like it. It's a new voice. People should appreciate it for what it is instead of trying to make human writing out of it.

> I also enjoy how AI art looks a little weird.

> Let the robot make art its own way!

Everyone is free to indulge in naivety all day long, believing the legend that Vitalik is just a nice independent guy who does all of this for the greater good and does not care about money, but the entities behind him are quite notorious for exactly the opposite:

By May 2017, the nonprofit organization (Enterprise Ethereum Alliance) had 116 enterprise members, including ConsenSys, CME Group, Cornell University's research group, Toyota Research Institute, Samsung SDS, Microsoft, Intel, J. P. Morgan, Cooley LLP, Merck KGaA, DTCC, Deloitte, Accenture, Banco Santander, BNY Mellon, ING, and National Bank of Canada. By July 2017, there were over 150 members in the alliance, including MasterCard, Cisco Systems, Sberbank, and Scotiabank.

Oh, I doubt it was sudden.
And chasing down purchase orders and higher expectations for customer support and, once you have direct sales, you need training for sales, and you have to generate qualified leads for them, and you have to respond to RFPs...
I believe the OP of the comment above is talking about the fact that before his twitter ban, the last picture posted by Kanye depicted Musk in an unflattering pose. The statement by OP is mostly incorrect, Kanye did post the picture, however that was apparently after a private conversation with Elon regarding an earlier post of Kanye depicting a swastika, where Elon said to either delete the photo or be banned. Kanye doubled down, attacked Elon personally and got banned.

Note: I do not really care about either Elon or Kanye, both seem to suck, just supplying the context for the comment.
Apple doesn't care that much about cost of chips. Their margins are wide enough that even a substantial increase in chip pricing won't significantly impact their profits.
You're not crazy. The statistical power of most studies is very poor, and aggregating over narratives extracted from stat analysis is just gonzo. I mean, read from Aquinas or from Supreme Court decisions to see the erudition and "scholarmanship" required to even claim you're taking multiple takes into consideration.

Learn to listen to your body, this is inordinately important. I didn't pay attention to these chills I was getting that weren't warranted by the weather nor were accompanied by fever and... let a few days slice and I was admitted to the ICU with sepsis + an immune system shutting down.
Yeah depends how you look at it. It is very grim when you look at it from the hedonistic perspective. To avoid nihilism you have to consider the complete opposite. That you are contributing to the collective in a significant way, even if you suck at art, coding, writing, etc.

We're already quite deep in a meaning crisis. Nothing should stop each individual on this planet from searching for their meaning regardless of current innovation. Like you mention, humans grow from the pain and process, AI will never have that nor understand it.

EDIT: There's also a beautiful book regarding an existential courage to "be" which rejects this nihilism/meaninglessness.

If they were really good at their job, they wouldn't need Asian employees. They'd just use the AI chat to handle everything. Why does an AI need a human to feed it what to say? That's not a very good AI. That's just voice modification, and that's been done for so long it's not even close to impressive. Have the AI hear the human voice, decide what to say that is relevant and useful, then generate a voice to deliver that information, then I'd almost be impressed.

What you described is pretty much how I feel all AI/ML is at this point. A decent website with a large humans operating in the background. Not impressed. At. All.
They're not repeating all experiments.
Completely baseless claim.

The situation is really very simple. Many people in developing nations NEED to have children due to the lack of a pension system. Secondary factors are a lack of education, contraception, and traditional societal expectations. All of these reasons can be summed up as the choice of having children, as well as how many, not being fully free.

In a situation where people are free to decide on wanting children (and how many), and not really REQUIRE them, they will go for 0-2. When given the choice, people simply do not want more. It's as simple as that. This is a universal finding throughout the world.

0-2, which typically averages to 1.6 - 1.8 in many countries, is below replacement rate. Mystery solved. We simply don't want more.

What if we would need to work less, would we have more children? No. What if we had higher incomes, better child support, would we have more children? No.

Counter intuitively, the "luxury" of having a say in having children means we have less of them.
As far as I am aware, the idea that pornography "hijacks" the "dopaminergic reward" response is largely based on pseudoscience spread by the Your Brain On Porn website and their affiliates.

For example:

https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55540853/TJP_32_66-70-...

>There have been multiple neurotransmitters that have been implicated in addictions that range from dopamine to serotonin and now a role for glutamate and dynorphin has been elucidated.(37-38) The same has not yet been elucidated in research of pornography addiction. Further studies in this direction are warranted. Evidence regarding neurotransmitter activity in pornography addictions and substance use disorders
(39) has tended to be complementary.

Since the article I linked mentions structural MRI findings, I feel the need to point out that this does not establish any causality; furthermore, evidence of heritability of compulsive pornography use could of course suggest the causal arrow goes the other way. See also:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3115160/

You will also find studies showing that dopamine agonists increased hypersexual behavior, which is rather the opposite of the suggestion that pornography use is a dopamine releasing activity (usually, the brain wants to suppress the effects of a drug!). Other studies show that naloxone (opioid antagonist) decreases pornography use. Dopamine is a stimulating neurotransmitter, and most people would not report feeling more energetic after engaging in sexual activity.
You don’t need a blockchain, there are cryptographic timestamp services for that.
More generally than this one case or Neuralink or Musk... We have made basically zero progress treating any mental health or neurological condition in the last 40 years. And those diseases (from depression to Alzheimer's) are the number one blights on human health. Suicide is the leading cause of death for some demographics in the west.

Based on that, I think there is a good argument to do more animal testing, to move faster and (sorry animals) to make more mistakes.
Please no more "geniuses." This cult of personality celebrity idol worship is toxic. The U in UBI stands for "universal" -- you don't need to be a genius to apply. UBI is great for enabling everyone to advance to their ultimate potential by alleviating financial constraints. (It may also lead to laziness as people no longer need to advance to survive.) Hopefully the net benefit outweighs any negative consequences.

Well for one the US won't be so inclined to defend TW so much. Sure, there will be posturing, maybe even a proxy war like in Ukraine, but generally speaking the US will not be sending troops anymore, now that the golden goose has nested on its shores.
That is typically called ‘reputational damage’, with the consequences being investors not giving them money to invest because they think they would lose it in another scam later.

Which they are going to be suffering from (somewhat).

Unless someone is picketing the line of investors lining up to give them money (how?), who/what is even going to be protesting?
yes lol. not at all a failure
Important context - announcements of USDA investigations are public records. PETA et al monitor the website and create press releases which, e.g., Reuters can pick up. *Outcomes* of investigations are often covered much less.
I hate cities so much that I'd rather dedicate myself to taking care of a flock of sheep than set foot in a damn office in a city again.
I've never worked on artificial knees. My frame of reference is artificial hearts and surgical robotics, those are on the same order of complexity as Neuralink, so my experience is pertinent IMO.
You may be right with respect to "what works for me" - because you can literally experiment on yourself and tell (if you're keeping honest track of effects using various good practices from science / experiment design).

But you wouldn't be in a good position to argue against anyone saying otherwise.

There are numerous problems with folk beliefs and personal intuitions. Much like we are 100% fooled every time when we look at optical illusions, we can be fooled about other things. I'm glad you've figured out what works for you, but it's not anecdotes but only good science that can tell us what is "on average" going to happen (without investigating the individual particularities).
Not really OP doesn’t want to give up any of his investments or real estate because kids would be a drain on their finances and time.
Unless that code is under the AGPL specifically and the software isn't cloud-based (and the vast majority of start-ups these days are doing SaaS) then there's no license violation there.
It is a significantly harder task making DF accessible than tweaking the shaders on Portal.
Yeah I think the article is a bit of a strawman: if you take ED to be more broadly “issues around sex” I think you’ll find a lot more people agreeing of the correlation

Just browsing the replies here I see many guys saying effectively “Well I watch tons of porn and my penis still works” which is kind of a level 1 analysis on how porn might be affecting their brain
The question has too many variables.

Yes. If you get sued as a company for e.g. negligence, and it's pretty clear you're not going to win by attacking the point directly, the two go-to arguments are:

1. I did not know, and whilst I have a duty to know, in this case I was intentionally misled by others and couldn't have possibly known: I _did_ do my DD on asking for this information, however, I was lied to.

2. Okay, you got me, you win your case. Now I go sue the seller for having failed to disclose and making them pay me the same amount as I have to pay you.

Both of which are severely hampered by not reading the DD. At best you could say that by not doing the DD at all, you insta-lose on the first point (you have a duty to ask, if you can't show that you asked, you lose immediately). However, given that you now received it, it seems like a significant misunderstanding of the situation if you then don't get some intern to read it and highlight dubious lines and cross check a few things.

It's possible this is just the same shit moneyball is about: Lawyers putting a lot of stock in looking around and seeing what the rest of the lawyer clan does, and not using the brain whatsoever, trusting _entirely_ on the gut instinct of 'yes, this feels familiar and it is what we all always do, therefore, surely it must be fine'.

Case in point: Email footers claiming 'if you aren't the intended recipient, you must delete it; all this stuff is confidential' are fucking retarded. Obviously it's not legally binding (if it was, I can wrap a note 'you indemnify me by receiving this object' around a brick and throw it through your window!), it looks stupid if it's at the bottom of e.g. a press release you mailed to a newspaper, 'not the intended recipient' is not something you could possibly prove (hey, you mailed it to me, therefore I am the intended recipient), and by not suing those in evident breach of your clause, you establish that you don't enforce it. If you then attempt to sue somebody for disclosing actually private information that was clearly under NDA or whatnot, they can make a plausible defense in court that you never sue anybody for it and that therefore this is just picking and choosing, which has some legal legs.

And yet _every lawyer office and almost all businesses with a legal team_ does this, as do many companies with nothing like it (presumably, those'd be cargo culting, the legal companies / companies with legal teams are actively lemmings jumping off the cliff to follow their pals).

Possibly they do it because they know others expect them to, but I find it dubious that it's a good idea to actively do stupid shit just because people _think_ it's smart. It's not like having a footer makes you stand out these days. On the contrary.

) Yes, disney movie, lemmings don't actually do that. Which makes these companies even dumber, no?
More than likely they associated themselves with and then took offense of the “patronizing” group mentioned by the first comment and needed to reach for a contrived “gotcha” to insult them back.
overhyped, not a failure
Water is a good example of a resource that can be more environmentally friendly in less dense areas, though that’s not true everywhere. Plenty of suburbs in the US pipe in water from far away.

Anyways, kudos for recognizing that your behavior may not be typical. For me, the main attraction of rural living would be the ability to have a hobby machine shop, multiple cars (sorry, am enthusiast). And I’d probably drive in to the city in the absence of transit.
I just checked your comment and submission history but couldn’t find anything.
