How would this be any different from more people existing in the world? These AGIs still need to eat (err, consume electricity). Or are you assuming they’ll be superior intelligences and thus disruptive?

I know that free will doesn’t exist and I wouldn’t choose to have it any other way

I’m not an engineer, I don’t know how it works. I can touch the transparent window without getting burned, so it appears the window is insulated.

Maybe it works like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

I hate when the dishwasher says it’s low on cyan gnomes, but I can see them right there

My oven is super insulated, yet it still has a window

It still blows my mind that a plant is illegal. One with medicinal uses, no less. What will they think of next? Banning sunshine?

On that note, I suspect that a 25% tax is cheaper by far than the cost of building out state of the art silicon fab on US soil, plus the additional cost of paying Americans to do the manufacturing/assembly. Would you rather buy an iPhone for $1250 or $4000?

Exactly. This sounds like selection bias in action. If you’re sampling adults who have ADHD and asking if it’s better from when they were kids, you’ve already skewed the results beyond repair. You need to follow kids with ADHD into adulthood and see if it gets better.

Also, her pants wouldn’t fade into nothingness but on second thought I think the artist did the right thing…

I’m disturbed that an elevator is running a desktop OS. How did this happen? Did they never hear of microcontrollers?

I love when there are so many rules that my first few randomly-generated passwords are rejected.

Die Bart Die!

Have you considered that

(a) documentaries do not need actors, and

(b) if they did, the last black man earth could star as himself?

Someone called me a cat dad and it sounded so weird to me. I like to think that my cats view me as “big friend”. I’m no father, more of a guardian who wants what’s best for my silly creatures and would die for them if it came down to it, but certainly not a father, no siree.

It was more of a “think about it” kind of comment than an algorithm. Glad you’re thinking about it.

I mean profit = revenue - expenses. I cheekily suggested unsubtracting some expenses, e.g. excessive CEO pay, before computing profit per employee.

If you work for a publicly traded company and wish to become radicalized, you can divide the year’s profits (plus money wasted on stock buybacks) by the number of employees to roughly estimate your personal green circle.

You might even add the CEO’s compensation to the numerator. I hear LLMs are ready for prime time.

The fact she even answered the question is damning, then on top of it, that’s the answer she picked.

It should be noted that “strong typing” and “weak typing” don’t have the same precise definition as static/dynamic typing.

A watched pot always boils?
