It almost makes you understand how a well-coordinated artificial superintelligence could wipe us out, eh?

They’re out here solving previously-unsolved math problems. Famous scientists and mathematicians are speaking about their awe and worry. It feels a bit like you’re burying your head in the sand.

The same people you believe are just signaling the market have been offering these same warnings for years. Others around them have been saying it for decades. How do you square that? I’d rather first focus on the reasons why they’re wrong and not first conspiracize why they’re saying what they are.

Some people believe they’re talking about potentially world-ending situations.

This is unfortunately the market and “capitalism” working as it should. Price goes up, incentive to produce more goes up too.

A subjective sample of yourself isn’t representative of the overall economy or the way an economy should be run.

> Most states have a public real time map showing snow plow locations. Ask yourself why is it not a problem when their info is public. From what I’m reading, I imagine it’s because the snow plow trackers don’t individually identify their operators as this seems to.

Alpine + Livewire is the go-to stack for SPA-like Laravel functionality these days. If you "need" JavaScript for form purposes, Filament is well worth taking a look at as well.

I'd say it depends. Which "CIA fabrications of today" are you referring to?

Many people likely have something that springs to mind, based on their own existing biases, but that differs between people. When naming a particular "fabrication" you'll probably encounter much more resistance. (Russiagate? HIV/AIDS? The moon landing?)

I'm all for science, but are you implying China's strict COVID lockdown strategy didn't save any lives?

There is a service for tracking weight that uses methodology from The Hacker's Diet: https://trendweight.com/

While COVID isolation did a number on my results, it's my favorite weight tracking solution.
