Sure, but if you didn’t have to work to survive which one would you be?
Work is the surest way to suppress personality, real you only comes up when you don’t struggle to survive.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros. I had a period where I appreciated people who played the system to get rich. Before I understood the system itself is the problem.

The world is divided between Jeffrey Epstein types and Charlie Sheen types, change my mind.

Folding maps were the USB-A of it’s age. We would always fold it wrong the first time.

Imagine losing to VW in the EV game after a 10+ year headstart. Humiliating.

So he decided to ruin his one successful company. Which is successful because he wasn’t involved in running it until now.

Depends if you count porn as prostitution. They are doing it for money but not with you as the final customer.

Not a fan of actual person-to-person prostitution, however it shouldn’t be illegal. That being said, forced prostitution is a huge problem that must be addressed.

Government is the people. By that I mean people who are the government are a subset of people. They don’t have any additional insight into the world than a voter, although they might have more information.

Also voters are not a monolith, everyone wants something different. Sometimes very opposite things.

The best that can be done is trying to find a good way to achieve what the majority of voters want while not completely screwing over those who disagree.

Yes but I’m not sure LLMs would be the focus. Back in 2018-2019 we were already in an AI craze. Investors were throwing billions at it (compared to trillions now).

However LLMs were seen as little more than interesting toys by researchers. Conversational models were secondary compared to image recognition and generation which was considered way more cool than text.

Libertarians when they actually need to defend liberty be like

Welcome back Non-Aligned Movement

This stretch of track was recently renovated, a few months ago. I’m betting on a botched renovation. The government really doesn’t want this to be the case.

Somebody listed a bag for $50k on eBay. Listed doesn’t mean sold.
Also Trader Joe’s is a brand of Aldi, a German company, hardly an example of pure Americana.

Aka how can we sell more dolls without actually designing and building anything new. As the article says there are now blind and diabetic Barbies too.

Yes it’s fiction, but how would that even work? She would have to say every thought out loud. And even then how does she have emotions without any internal thoughts?

They are right. Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for countless murders and other crimes. Israel is also a terrorist organization responsible for countless murders and other crimes. Both can be true.

Ok this is something I gave a lot of thought about. The mention of “congress” means you want a specific American answer, but I think the same logic can be applied everywhere, because all human cultures function according to similar principles.

• 0.5% per year

Meaning if you have a population of 100 million you can take up to 500k new people every year.

Less than 0.1% it means you country is undesirable. More than 0.5% you will have trouble integrating all the new people. And integration is the main problem, You need an influx of new people big enough so you generate new ideas and new cultures, bur low enough to prevent formation of separate immigrant communities.

Ah a typical government employee. Something goes wrong, do you:

1. Immediately send someone to fix the shipment and get the stuff back
2. Falsify reports to hide the fact that any mistake happened
