Because words have meaning, and that’s not what political leader has ever meant?

But sure, go ahead and define it however you want.

No, it’s bullshit people made up so they can justify taking their hatred and bitterness out on those they disagree with. It’s the logic of a coward and a small mind. If you lack the ethics to keep you from wanting to murder people you disagree with, just say so openly. You’re fooling no one.

By this incredibly specious logic, many of your comments here represent “threats” towards people who work in AI, or with the DoD, etc, in any capacity. I guess they’re now justified in trying to murder your children, right?

Fortunately, that’s not how it works, no matter what you think.

I one billion percent prefer a flawed democracy with the rule of law, however imperfect, to a world where some random HN user thinks they their personal beliefs give them the moral authority to burn a family alive. Only an utter fool would wish for that world.

I’m doing this exact same thing in my solo saas company, except with Cursor’s Cloud Agents. I can kick them off from web, slack, linear, or on a scheduled basis, so I’m doing a lot of the same things as you. It’s just prompts on a cron, with access to some tools and skills, but super useful.

I’m looking right at his role. What am I supposed to be seeing? Is he breaking the law?

Or do you just think he deserves whatever’s coming and more because you don’t agree with his views or actions?

“Structural violence” sounds like a religious concept, like original sin. Your beliefs are your own, but they don’t entitle you to murder someone, just like we don’t let fundamentalists murder gay folks, no matter what their religion tells them.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone type like this.

I doubt you’ve ever actually seen any real societal collapse into violence, or you’d know how stupid you sound.

Sorry, no. I was married 18 years and then divorced. Some people weren’t surprised, many were. Ditto for other couples I’ve seen divorce. You can never know what goes on behind closed doors in someone else’s marriage.

Can you elaborate? I’d be curious to know how much of this “indirect equity” he holds, and whether that has any bearing whatsoever on whether Sam is trying to amass as much for himself as he can.

This waters down the definition of political leader to the point of absurdity.

Doesn't he famously have zero equity in OpenAI?

Yeah, I don't disagree, but if we're talking about how our species (which I took "civilization" to mean) as a whole has fared, I think you shouldn't get to pick the where, just the when. If we care about all humans everywhere, and whether fewer of them are starving or dying of preventable diseases or whatever, then I think you have to consider being born as just a random human, not just a random American.

You don't get to choose where

I’m having trouble picturing this, I think. Maybe this will help: after this big hammer hits the rock with the outline of drilled holes around it…where do you think the rock goes? It’s not hollow under there…

How does this compare to something like Cursor Cloud Agents with a solid set of skills and tools?

Substantive.

Try this, I'm genuinely curious: if you were going to be born as a random human somewhere on earth, what year would you prefer that to happen?
