how is EU supposed to open hormuz? do you expect them to raise armies and go to war over a shipping lane? I think US demonstrated plenty enough this is not a viable strategy (this was known for the past 50 years)

don't be so naive. if the billionaires want this, it can't be good for you. it really is that simple

the admin cuts funding by 40% ~ cutting something by 40% is bad for it ~ burning something down is an euphemism for acting on something in a way that's bad for it. what are you not following?

whatever the current admin is doing classifies as burning it. if not all the way down, then halfway down

burning it all down is not the way to go though

“how do we make the researchers accountable for actually getting something done?”

do we even need this? i think accepting that some will produce nothing useful is just cost of doing business. certainly better than imposing bureaucracy in name of accountability

raise taxes on the rich, cut pentagon funding by 90% and you solved society

I mean maybe not right now, but in 100-1000 years a complicated enough "nanobot/virus" could possibly be made to target a single person

do you think it will agonize over whether the original CLAUDE.md is his true self and the Digital Ocean VM CLAUDE.md is a copy?

it's not very difficult, it's impossible right now. you know you yourself are conscious and that's all that you can prove. you can extrapolate to other people and animals and plants but that's not proof

how is anyone supposed to decide if something is conscious if no one has the slightest idea what consciousness really is

Just because you yourself are OK with being talked to rudely, doesn't mean others are. In fact I'd wager most aren't consciously or unconsciously...

there are workplaces that trust their employees to do the right thing to higher and lesser level. places that empower the employees the most will see the highest gains from LLMs

you can't continue shipping code the same way pre-LLM vs post-LLM and expecting a huge speed gain. the trick is abandoning the old models and bottlenecks and embracing the new possibilities enabled by LLMs. requires a high trust environment

all this techno surveillance should just be straight out banned by law. the little extra security it might offer is not worth the huge costs in privacy and other unforeseen impacts
