Do unto others as you would have done to you.

Or its simpler corollary: Don't do to others what you would _not_ want done to you.

Everything else derives from this.

They look kind of translucent to me, maybe the first of this kind of slug just had a digestive problem that didn't break down the chloroplasts, and the minimal energy through their bodies made those individuals more successful because they didn't need to eat as often as those who digested theirs. Yada yada other errors among the indegestible-chloroplast population showed further advantages when it's closer to the skin, they outcompeted their peers, etc.

Well we can easily see that the "abundance" people are wrong(for example everyone can't have a penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park, no matter how capable the robots become).

An alternative possibility that inequality is about to explode between those who profit from AI/robotic labor and those displaced by it.

Don't worry, if someone truly achieves superintelligence it won't be controlled by anyone for long.

Seems like the lawyers will profit from their platforms _by_ claiming they are harmful.

I haven't noticed any problems with large context requests through OR to e.g. Opus (other than the rate at which my budget gets spent!). Is this a performance thing?

I love this concept but the introduction is very odd. It feels like the first, third and 4th paragraphs make the same point (1/4 of cement is imported). It gets better as it gets technical.

You probably watched from the Florida side of the intercoastal waterway between the main part of Florida and Cape Canaveral. Because of the 3-mile minimum and Patrick AFB it is pretty hard to find a good watching place that is actually on the cape.

I feel like we've got tunnel vision. Things you can do on a computer are a tiny subset of what a human can do.

If the AI has to control a body to sit on a couch and play this game on a laptop that would be a step in the right direction.

This one is EU I think, but yes UK and everyone else needs to actually protect their citizens' rights.

Aren't most advertisements served by Linux servers these days? Free software isn't a monastery, as utopian as that ideal sounds.

This is the wrong way to think about tool use.

You wanted this feature for years. You understood the problem, but the amount of time that it would have taken to properly implement and test it held you back from doing it. Obviously, anyone else who wanted this feature came to the same conclusion.

This new tool reduced the amount of time that it would take. So you used the tool. You used the tool to bring the feature into existence, checked the tests, and took enough time to ensure that it was good. You didn't lie about your contribution in the PR, and the maintainer deemed it acceptable. And now everyone has this feature!

When you eat a strawberry do you feel like an impostor for not growing it yourself?

This is a repeating phenomenon, and probably worse on land. Fitness and run tracking apps also reveal troop locations and concentrations on land (location clusters reported by apps targeted at non-local-language audiences stick out like a sore thumb).

Sure, but I didn't think about this specific topic in any direction until this article. That's the great thing about articles and media, they spread thoughts and connections that might not be obvious to folks who are focused on other things.
