You know that “I” is a pronoun, right? I’m just checking because you used it twice in a post about not using pronouns. Are you OK?
Isn’t it called collusion when a group of companies get together to fix the price of something? $1M is clearly the price they’ve settled on for whatever it is they are buying… Time to dust off the Sherman act.
Trump’s favour is for sale, so of course execs are going to buy it. If your president doesn’t have ethics, why would your CEO? /s

There is a lesson here.
Do my genes deserve to be signal-boosted? Looking at my health/intelligence/etc I’d say no. Also, I am not some brainless gonad pumping genes into the future; I’d want to know and raise any child of mine. Superguy, ask me if I want the best human I know of to have 1k kids instead
A shady-looking superbeing approaches you in a dark alley, and credibly promises that if you pay it a dollar, you will have 1000 children. You'll never know them, and they'll never know you, but they'll share half your genetic material. Do you accept?

Eliezer Yudkowsky says it would cost less than the Persian Gulf War to deproliferate AI technology today but this is increasing and soon it will cost more like World War II, but "if everybody's going to die otherwise, you just do what it takes"

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.
Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned.
Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

When you #retire it rapidly becomes apparent that many people you thought were friends were merely acquaintances.
You'll never see or hear from them again.
The place where you work will forget you in a blink of an eye.
Bear that in mind when you're expected to go above & beyond

Has anyone written a paper on “Can humans actually reason or are they just stochastic parrots?” showing that, using published results in the literature for LLMs, humans often fail to reason? I feel like someone should write that paper.
Unaligned AI could control/use nukes and bioweapons, so the last 3 categories could/should be merged or wording changed.
I’m guessing not the Trump campaign, who used an AI fake photo of her to claim her endorsement… She seemed more useful those few days ago, huh?
