  • Really, they don't have anything more important to be focusing on?

  • We don't need to body shame Elon. There are scads of things we can behavior shame him on, and that has a chance of positively affecting the world (not him, he'll never see this, but someone out there might see this and reconsider thinking he's cool.)

  • That's remarkably charitable. I'd say he's committed to serving the side of evil enough to softball a dictator.

  • Mr Rogers is the truest Christian I've ever heard of, let alone met. A lot of people are failing to be the people Mr Rogers knew that they could be and that is sad.

  • AGI is AI that can do anything a human can do. Consciousness is not a requirement, and is likely unethical.

  • I mean, even economically they aren't the same. Biden's advancing a wealth tax, can you imagine Trump or McConnell doing that?

  • Sure, her life shaped her worldview. To be wrong. I'm not sure how that she had a rough childhood changes anything.

  • Used to living with the fallout, because I don't expect people will get better at media literacy.

  • Listening to Peter talk about GPT as if it was an all comprehending oracle when he was interviewed on Hannah Reloaded was unsettling, because I know he's not alone in thinking it's (paraphrased) "a pattern detecting intelligence, that can see things we can't" my brother in Christ it is a better Markov chain engine.

  • I mean the specifics of how we do it matters, but yeah I think redistributing the means of production would be pretty cool. "Enough land to make a profit farming" is an awfully big paycheck, though; nobody's going to offer that to american workers, I'm almost certain.

  • Successful crime definitely requires a skillset. Luckily, if you try your hand at it and are without skill our society is happy to bring you to an institution of lower learning!

  • Honestly, it's such an incredible own goal. By aligning themselves in opposition to her, Republicans are begging for her fans to vote against them.

  • So what you're saying is that we need to break up existing large farms and parcel them out to smaller individual farmers? Because I might be on board with that.

  • People have a continual feed of FEAR HATE FEAR FEAR HATE FEAR HATE HATE pumped to them. Some people are less coupled with reality than others, and this happens. There's obviously something more going on for him but that's where the specifics came from.

  • Nah, we went and checked whether it was. After we found out it wasn't, we haven't gone back.

  • They also won't do them at higher wages, because when your crops are rotting in the fields you panic and offer at least minimum wage. Americans came, did it for a day, and were like nah that's not my scene. Americans do not want those jobs. The migrants didn't take anything away from Americans. "Stole our jobs" is rhetoric to get people who don't understand the situation riled up. It's a slogan, it's not real. Nobody complaining about stolen jobs is clamoring to get out in those fields, not for migrant wages, not for minimum wage, not for any amount of money that is going to be offered.

  • Hey, be an optimist about it. Whoever wins, you get something that you want!
