Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

I’m not doing it on behalf of anyone. Should we ignore the technology because we don’t like the specific people who are developing it?


And yet the best models outdid humans at this “car wash test.” Humans got it right only 71.5% of the time.


Yeah, “AI is getting pretty good” is a very unpopular opinion in these parts. Popularity doesn’t change the results though.


And that score is matched by GPT-5. Humans are running out of “tricky” puzzles to retreat to.


Are you aware that there’s more to the court system than juries? And that those juries, too, operate under a strict set of rules about what they can and can’t rule on?


If you’re not investing anything in anything then this really isn’t your problem.


The companies that continue with human staff where others are replacing theirs, for example. Outsourcers providing those staff.


No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.
Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?


Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?


But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.
If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.


Depends entirely on the circumstances of where it does end up being built. I’m not sure what “gotcha” you think you’re making here? That Reddit comment is just me pointing out that when a business uses electricity they pay for it.


So it’ll be built somewhere else. Data moves around quite easily.


That’s not how bankruptcy works. The investors don’t get their money back.


The original comment that this subthread descends from was about the profitability of AI companies.


And the type of RAM and “GPU”'s being manufactured are not ones that normal consumers will use.
They’re using the same foundries that would make those things. I’m not saying that there’ll be a flood of “used” equipment (though there would indeed be some of that too, other companies could set up data centers much more cheaply), I’m saying that the foundries will switch back to consumer products.
The stock is worth a lot because it can be sold for a lot. If the manufacturers don’t think the AI companies will stick around they should be selling the stock they’re receiving from them. It’s money either way. What do you think they’re doing with that money?


People have different opinions.
You literally just said you held both.


Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.


Where’s this infinite well of investment money coming from? “Economic magic” is pretty vague.
It’s tricky in the sense that it requires abstract reasoning.
