I know this is sarcasm but this generalized attitude is def a prob - what happens once all that matters is your bag? Expertise is overrated/obsolete they say?

The counter factual is there is no “doom” or foom and we have deliberately crippled our own capacity because some people liked the terminator movie too much. Or even darker we have given all the reigns to mega corps. Individuals lose power.

Imagine being so terminally online that you believe the entirety of human experience has been encoded into text and published on the internet. #chatgptlol

It's telling to me that doomers can't, say, point at a reasonable 10 or even 50 page summary of their arguments that is sufficiently thorough, self-contained, and falsifiable that one can know whether one has or has not successfully rebutted all their arguments.

Okay I buy this explanation. A mistaken belief that cannot be corrected by his staff, well that’s been on full display

The only problem with the Turing test is how gullible people are, especially smart people. Like some chat bot says “don’t kill me” and bam you think the matrix math is alive? Like only if your model of cognition is very abstracted or simplistic!

This is the kind of overly credulous behavior in “smart” people that is rightly decried. Come on man, companies don’t have secrets and rarely see the future better than anyone else.

I just taught my 5yo that a “4 double bunk bed” is a quadruple bunk bed and he said “that’s the baddest name ever”, and I can’t say he’s wrong!

Sounds like they had a hard time with all those colonies, really in many ways they were doing Africa a favor, right?

So I just walked about 5-6 blocks in western soma and got on the Bart train at civic center. I have never in my life seen less homeless people. I saw 0 panhandlers and maybe 2 homeless people on my 20 minute walk. Bart train is new, clean, and again no homeless. #sf

We’ve had this argument about “access to information is dangerous” for decades. Turns out actually doing things is really hard. Unlike, for example, writing this paper.

So, are they sure such a theory or the start of one doesn’t exist? There’s a lot of work in psychology, education, and philosophy that might have something to say about this. Or maybe just read some great literature?

GIGO - garbage in, garbage out. If you put infinitesimals in a 1/x then highly remote things become practically guaranteed to happen. It cloaks itself in the pretend rigor of math to cosplay as science.

It’s also known as anchoring - by calling out a specific value it sets the point at which people think. That way when the line is redrawn to $200k it seems totally reasonable.
