Haha, the Terminator movies got the name of the corporation that created SkyNet wrong :)

With the recruitment problems and personal shortages that the West armies are experiencing they will definitely turn to AI at first chance. It may have some dangerous consequences even if an AGI doesn't decide to get rid of the humans.

One hypothesis I've heard is that the weapons of the age to a degree determine the social order. E.g. in Ancient Greece and Rome a free citizen could afford to buy on the market the ultimate weapon of the time - a bronze or iron sword. Hence it was very expensive for a small elite to hire enough mercenaries to stay in power if the people didn't want it, and so Athens and Rome had democracy and a republic. Or the American colonists in 18th century could afford muskets, making it very expensive for Britain to keep them under control if they didn't want it. On the other side in Medieval Europe when a knights suite costed as much as a village very few could afford one and they had absolute power, independent of what the peasants wanted.

The switch to AI, robots, drones, etc. in the modern armies may mean that a small elite will have the means to enforce it's interests independent of what the majority of people want.
Cute, but what is the point of this?

At the very best it could stop SSTO to orbit suck so much. But it seems SpaceX is far enough that it is not possible to get close to the efficiency with an autophage rocket. It maybe was possible as long as first stage was always destined to crash, but when it can land safely the entire efficiency equation got turned on its head.

Would that kind of rocket be usable for deep space (basically -- improve thrust to weight by eliminating the weight of the fuselage as you thrust)? I also don't think so. For space, much higher specific impulse engines exist than any kind of fuselage material that can burn itself.

So I just don't see any use of this.
The amount of people still thinking about it more than a decade later had to new minimal, surely.
Haha yeah, I've been to rationalist meetups too, and have come to the same conclusion that I don't like them very much. Too much IQ stroking for my tastes.

Scott specifically though, has an established history of thinking through arguments that I find much better than most, and I still think someone who trains at this stuff will do better.

To extend my analogy a little further from before, if you go to a boxing gym or boxing enthusiast meetup, there will be plenty of people there who like the idea of fighting, but don't know how to fight. That doesn't mean that a trained boxer still won't be tough in the ring though.

> I can’t pick up Kant or Hegele or Sartre

Ah, there’s your problem, at least in my opinion/experience. You have to start at the beginning, read Plato’s Republic followed by Aristotle’s
Nicomachean Ethics. When you read them don’t take them as fact but as a “living” historical foundation that will help you set the stage for reading increasingly more recent books.
In my (American) experience, there is a world of difference between the parishioner and the theologian. I don't know any theologian who could resist an offer of an experience that might give them insight into the mind of their creator.

Also, this took place in the 1960s. Post-"War on Drugs" indoctrination wasn't in effect, and consciousness expansion - the understanding that reality is greater than our limited and incomplete human senses can perceive, but that they can be enhanced - was popular. If you're interested in the range (and similarity) of entheogen experiences, there are many accounts from people across the world recorded on the web going back decades. It makes for very interesting history.

There's a very modern fear at play here, but it's fear of the state, not of gods. Substance use as a ritual aid aligns with both religious-historic accounts and evidence found in early Abrahamic temples. For example: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/cannabis-found-alt...

One big reason why people are excited is that it's finally a practical way to synthesize and render complete photorealistic 3D scenes without any of the traditional structural elements like triangle meshes and texture maps.

Think of the difference between vector graphics (like SVG) and bitmap graphics (like JPEG or PNG). While vectors are very useful for many things, it would be quite limiting if they were the only form of 2D computer graphics, and digital photos and videos simply didn't exist. That's where we have been in 3D until now.

Exactly. It's fair to say that at the level of national champion industries and state-to-state deals, countries' intelligence organizations are always involved.

Maybe they're doing defense (discovering bribes swaying the bid to another country, or monitoring their own country's bribes) or offense (stealing competitor bid data and specifications), but they're not idle.
As someone that spends 99.99% of their working day in the terminal with CLI's, here are the things I want -

- clear documentation, eg --help

- order of parameters should not matter

- clear, helpful error messages (git is great at this)

- consistent outputs

That's all I want. It can be as complicated as you want it to be, as long as you do this stuff I don't really care. One tool that comes to mind I use a lot that does not do this well is jq. It's very unintuitive, at least to me.

Epistemically helpless people are the easiest targets because conmen don't try to convince you to something you don't believe. They use what you already believe against you.

The vaccine against bad arguments is not ignorance. It is curiosity and inquisitiveness. It's always searching for debunks against every well argued thesis you encounter. And evaluating both the thesis and the debunks. After few such excercises about varied subjects you start to notice the patterns and you can learn to separate personal charm and attractiveness of the idea from the truth.

People lie and con and speak absurds the same way all the time about everything. You can learn to spot it if you put your mind to it.

It could indeed be faster. The app does not currently use the neural engine (ANE) because it has a tendency to crash the app, so it uses only CPU and GPU. The app also does upscaling, which adds ~10 seconds.

You can't draw that conclusion from what I said at all. These are tools.

Good web comics and fan fiction require creativity. They're low cost, but high effort endeavors that are achievable by solo creators.

Now there's a path appearing that will give this same class of people the tools to reach new creative heights that most could never achieve by themselves.

This is a good thing. It's a tool. You still have to be an artist to use it effectively.

My goal is that one day framework authors will adopt this (they might do it quickly since it’s a hell of a lot easier to dump a usage spec and generate completions than it is figuring out how to write completions for each shell).

At that point it would make sense for them to also make scaffolding generators, meaning the cli author only has to write one spec and don’t have to repeat the effort for their code so much.

That's just one example. Flat Earthers, various conspiracy theories, some anti-vax beliefs...
You could put up a professional services marketplace item for yourself; then hire yourself with your credits, and bill hours. You'd probably want to do actual work to make it not blatant fraud; eh who am I kidding it'd 100% be some sort of fraud. Now if you had a friend...

I guess you could just put up a really expensive AMI on the marketplace too.

Ah yes, a city famous for its myriad job opportunities, Cleveland.
Not any good ones. I'm astonished at how prices have increased.

People don't need to speculate, or engage in some kind of weighing of Cleveland as a place someone might want to live. Just bring up Cleveland in realtor.com and look at the very few, very low quality house options under 100k. And then consider that most people are going to be living in a suburb that's a lot more expensive anyway.

Yeah, but if you’re pulling in water and disposing it from a specific region, eventually the water that you’re pulling in is progressively saltier, and you’re compounding the saltiness of that area.

I’m sure that ocean currents will eventually equalize the salt, but if you’re continuously dumping salt into a specific area, it’s going to make that region of the ocean saltier.

> The AI is only in the loop for the very first step of the process (which is just generating a rough initial draft of potential target locations), every step after that is all good old manual work that would happen the exact same way as if AI didn’t exist at all.

We probably agree here to some degree. But I still wouldn't want to be personally creating technology that is being used for indiscriminate bombings, even if it is only partially responsible.

If you lost hours digging through the code and trying things to solve the problem, they aren't really lost. The knowledge you gain from this, the code you dug through, etc. all help builds up the experience that leads to one day no longer being a junior.

Agree with everything, but the last point. Fuck work ethic! Take as much as you can by outputting as little as possible to keep you out of trouble. That's how it's done in this age. There is no such thing as loyalty. Employers will screw you at every opportunity. If you're smart, you'll do the same in return. This is how I've operated in FAANG for the last couple of years and I have no regrets. When I'm inevitably laid off, at least I won't have wasted years of my life pouring "work ethic" into this company that barely recognizes my existence let alone treat me with respect.

> It's important to recognize that the Eurocentric view often incorrectly posits European history and culture as more significant or advanced than others

1) Western europeans are probably the people least in need of that reminder. They’re probably the least ethnocentric culture in the world, having voluntarily adopted a Mediterranean civil society (from the Romans) and Middle Eastern religion. They’re NPCs in some of their own most important stories.

Maybe it’s different in Europe, but American kids spend inordinate amounts of time learning about other cultures (native Americans, Mesopotamians, Egyptians) and comparatively little time learning about their own. European history isn’t even a part of most American curricula.

2) Which cultures invented rockets and sent people to space?
