And instead of delegating or relaxing or honing a talent, they still have this need to pretend they are a craftmen and waste everyone's time, instead of playing Factorio or Stardew Valley or X Simulator like the rest of us plebs do to scratch that itch. What a waste.

So yes, it is a problem when leadership doesn't have long term aspirations for the large company.

In the context of the internet forum, that was an appropriate video to post.

> 74% of students who answered feel their future in this industry is at risk. The top fears were no entry level jobs, laid off seniors competing for the same jobs they're going for, and AI displacement.

There is so much anxiety for the future of society and it's a real shame this seems to be going on ignored.

Sure, but I wager not being in the US means less money. And thus less influence

> Do you really live in that much of a US-centric bubble where you don’t realise outside influence exists?

Adding any friction to their influence is a good thing, in my eyes.

Oh well, now we have AI girlfriends as the next trillion dollar industry. We'll get it next time!

They've had decades to move to Dubai or New Zealand or whatever other magical country doesn't tax its residents. I wonder why they choose to stay in one of the richest countries in the world instead?

And I don't even think these are the best ideas. But they have "a proven track record".

The control group. Aka, the current crime rates right now with current infrastructure. Not a blank slate

In a lawless anarchy, you're probably right that "will I be held accountable for my actions?" Is the nost important question to ask. But we don't live in that society. The question we're asking instead is

1) how much does surveillance augment law enforcement?

2) how much does surveillance deter would be criminals compared to current deterrents that is law enforcement patrolling and reporting?

I'm sure all the above happened back in the day too, but: rich people of previous centuries would go to the arts to find meaning. Being part of an orchestra or theatre troupe or artist alley was a peak achievement. Now we just have boring dystopia where rich guys literally build bunkers for the end of days they are personally bringing about. What the hell happend?

That's fine. Others will care for you.

>it's plain boring to read and makes HN worse.

I chuckled at the joke. Surprising amount of layers to it.

Though I never strove to be a comic nor writer, that kind of terse, compact punch makes me envy those of such literary talent.

An LLM is isn't deterministic but also isn't iterative without an existing human. You give it the same spec 10 times and it produces 10 results that aren't far off itself but vastly different when you go into the weeds. And not different in a way of improvement. |

We're year 4 into this discussion and camps have only gotten more bifrucated. There's no 1-1 discussion to have about this as of now, at least not before the crash.

Your only hope in such discourse is not trying to convince the other party how wrong they are, but appealing to an as of yet undecided party. Be it with reason, or simply pointing out how absurd some comments sound to the average person.

Neoliberal ideals are really good at keeping a machine running in the direction it's already going. And we arguably needed that with Biden for a short spell. It's never going to change the direction of the machine, though. And we're heading off a cliff

Because it works. Not all the time, but a significant number of times. Public backlash from a fanbase is a lot cheaper than a legal battle.

We're well into the attention economy these days. I don't blame someone for using the tools society dealt out to its effect.
