Pre-Musk twitter isn't the comparison point here. Anthropic/Google are.


There's no sourcing for that South of Midnight number. You should treat it as fictional.


Judging by the credits [1] it indeed looks very conservative.

Sure, and if depressed people weren't sad, they'd be happier. 'Just don't get frustrated' isn't actionable advice.


> 'Just don't get frustrated'

That's not the issue, not sure why you try to steer discussion that way. The issue is, that's not enough to be an asshole and have some respect or general approval for that.

Every Karen making hell for entire neighborhood has some sad story behind, usually series of them and some are properly fucking horrible and heartbreaking to levels where this article reads like great easy chill life. I wish I was kidding, wife is GP and has to do basic psychiatric work too due to lack of available specialist doctors and the stories she hears almost daily... For example the amount of people who experienced sexual abuse as children with lifelong devastating consequences is fucking horribly high, but most go unreported even to close family so not part of any stats.

To condense - this is not enough as an excuse, however harsh the life can be. Thus don't expect that much sympathies. I'd expect a bit higher empathy levels from folks here.


That's not what I said. To feel an emotion is morally neutral, while to use your emotions to cause harm is wrong.


And where's the reaction of Karen using her apathy to harm someone who just wants to get their benefits and not go homeless? Apathy is an emotjon as well.


"Karen" is following procedure. She didn't create it. She's not choosing to harm anyone. The "no email" policy is not hers personally. She's entirely innocent here.


The one that doesn't have a monopoly on the market.


Slippery slope is famously a fallacious argument. My first exposure to it was people insisting that legalizing gay marriage would end up legalizing marriage to animals.


A slippery slope is only a fallacy if there is no demonstrated history of it existing. I think we're all aware that that is not the case for surveillance laws.


"If this observable trend continues, it will eventually reach a point that is along this trajectory" is not a fallacy.


People's misuse of the argument doesn't weaken its appropriate application.


Because he has power. Putting aside all the people who admire him who he could direct to boycott or harass some company, he can also direct increased scrutiny to companies that don't pander to him.


Sure, you could go to an educational institution for 2-4 years and hope that your new job doesn't get automated away before you graduate.


The thing about building fulling automated kill bots is then you've built fully automated kill bots.


Fully automated kill bots are coming, whether any of us like it or not. The question is, which militaries will have them, and which militaries will be sitting ducks? China is pursuing autonomous weapons at full speed.

Personally, I think it'd be great to have the Anthropic people at the table in the creation of such horrors, if only to help curb the excesses and incompetencies of other potential offerings.


Seems like it's only when adding 1 + 4, 6, or 8 in a place value or where one of them is 0. It doesn't seem like it'd ever hold across a carry, but I could be missing something.

Edit: There's actually a few cases with adding 2 as well!


Alternatively, hand someone $20 and your phone and have them do the verification for you.


This is just what I did, and plan to continue to do.


You can just use a video from YouTube there are people that do it that just don't care
