Lots of non-answers but to clarify - yes but no comments.

Sometimes a login wall might block you but if you refresh a couple of times it should work.

no invite and I’ve been on the waitlist since it’s been announced :(

That’s exactly what will happen.

Good, last time I was in Osaka the urban cyclists were plenty dangerous even without texting. Japan doesn’t have a great cycling infrastructure and definitely needs more safety rules because of it.

Imagine going into an economical agreement with Russia lmao

which it has not and is not going to

So you’re confident that AGI is not fundamentally possible? That would contradict basically every single scientist in the world and this is exactly why this issue is so difficult. Ironically, proving my point for the OP’s question lol

That’s simply not true. All datacenters of the world (including crypto) only use 6% of our power.

Nope. Color is absolutely fine

considering the track record they should start putting “courts” in quotes when discussing Russia.

ain’t nobody got time for extra u’s

Apple absolutely harms other companies to the point where are taken to court all the time.

There’s no such thing as “their own ecosystem”

That AI safety is much more important than AI hurting copyright or artists.

I say this because the “AI sucks haha” and “AI just steals” retoric is very harmful to AI safety movement as people just don’t believe AGI or even close-to-AGI will be capable enough to harm our society.

Currently many estimate that there’s 1-20% chance that AGI could end our civilization. So fuck the copyright and fuck the artists when we’re looking at ods like this we need to start preparing now even if it’s 10 years away.

But alas, nobody can’t think further out than the length of their nose and honestly I’m just hoping we’re lucky enough to be in that 80% because clearly we’re not going to do anything about it.

As someone who writes on Medium ocassionally — no.

Medium like all other blogging platforms has a problem of incentive. The pay is too little for quality writing and there’s always a gamble on whether your article gets views as you don’t control SEO or even formatting for that matter.

It was always filled with low effor slop because most are either:

• practicing writing
• building out their brand which is basically newbies
• trying to make pennies through low effor churn

I feel for Medium here as it does have an unsolvable problem really and AI has nothing to do with it.

My home garden. I’m by no means a great gardener but I’m a software developer working from home and just popping in there to spend 30 minutes caring for the plants is really refreshing.

They’re just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn’t care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don’t need to fork the kernel for that.

The way Apple gets away with stuff makes me feel very conspiratorial. Like, how?

How is Apple getting a pass every time and my tin foil hat would say that they are protected by the US government. Maybe because it’s just an important corporation for the US economy but maybe it’s an important corporation for US spying too.

The answer is always speculation investment. People are on average richer and real estate is the only trully limited economic resource as we have limited land especially in desired locations.

Seriously lookup how much of real estate is uninhabitable.

People are richer, the tech is better and everything we know about economy would indicate that real estate should be more accessible but that’s not the case because the market is manipulated.

The best part? If you invest in a stock index you’ll almost always out do real estate ownership almost anywhere in developed world. So people are hustling this stupid game while they could just sit back and watch money do money things.

It’s incredible how long Apple has gotten a pass which makes me wonder why are they so protected.

The Guardian review is more critical than others. I’ve never known they even review video games. Are they always like this?

I think Americans need to address the flaws in their 2 party political system and start working on a change, but it’ll never happen because neither party would give up power like that.

Two party system is inherently divisive especially with so much foreign and domestic propaganda. More options would not only reduce the total surface area of conflicts, but it would make propaganda much harder and represent people more closely.
