People had giant TV’s in the past as well. They are cheaper now.

Either way, a larger screen is not the same improvement as higher resolution. And more importantly, the reason people may not go to the movies when they have a home theater system is partly due to justifying the cost of the theater system.

To be honest, it does seem legitimately non adversarial. They don't want their bot citing laws potentially incorrectly and in a way that is not going to advance the user's issue towards being solved. IDK EU law, is WhatsApp running afoul when they refuse to delete accounts without the originating phone number until x days have passed? If they're not, the DPA probably can't force anything.

And when they fall, they need to be dealt with. Responsible land management would assess whether the deadwood should be mulched and resoiled, left untouched, moved, etc. If a tree needs to be moved or broken down, you can't just bring heavy equipment or controlled burning to federal land.

It feels like the top commenter is simply sharing personal insight, not recriminating and pleading woe, so Idk why these responses act like they're being egregious. The situation simply requires cooperation with a government that apparently is loathe to go through the process with.

Right? Why have walls? Why have humans when we have wildlife? And dogs? Humans have only been sharing their company for more than twenty thousand years. Get over it, stop destroying the environment.

The saw wasn't for the murder, and there were no consequences for it so i don't think it should be called "botched"

Steve Jobs wasn’t meant for this era, but his instincts would have been interesting to see in the AI landscape. He was an artisanal designer though, and our current era is always for the investor’s bottom line.

Why are you sure that the regressions they mention are not the in the domains needed for “actual” safety concerns?

I appreciate you acknowledging the politics behind this. OpenAI does not intend to be a software company for long, they intend to be scientific infrastructure. They'll want to be faucet from which pours embryos, orbital calculation, geothermal/substructural rating, and etc.

New comment by alexgoodhart in "The future of independence is interdependence"

alexgoodhart — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:16:37 +0000

I find the article to be morally upright and goodfeeling nonsense being used as a cudgel to redefine independence as dependence rather than acknowledging that the two factors coexist in different concentrations depending on class.

Independence is not infrastructural support, it is *choice*. You may depend on a housekeeper, but I depend on my own body to clean. That housekeeper doesn't get to say "I'm too busy to do my job"; not many times, at least. Because wealth means you get a new housekeeper, while poverty means you get a single aging body.

In the context of a world with AI increasingly being positioned to become a mediator of reality and access, I find the article distasteful and dishonest.
