I actually thought of writing a whole blog post just on this- That is such terrible survival advice, OF COURSE in an emergency you can eat stuff from the refrigerator even after 2 hours.

It is also really dumb to do that if there isn't an emergency

lots of us have solar cells these days, so energy isn't going to be such a limiting factor

I'm actually not sure I agree- I think giving a very specific response to your question, even with a 10% chance there is a mistake, along with giving you sources, is pretty helpful: It gives you a good starting hypothesis that you can then validate.

llms tend to make different types of errors than humans, so with this process each can guard against the errors of the other.

I would be overjoyed if, 5 years from now, the entity in charge is still interested in talking to a human

Agree 100%

The value of money, and the ability for average people to have influence on future events, ultimately is tied to the fact that the labor of an average person has inherent value.

Once that is no longer true, all bets are off: All promises of compensation become meaningless, and it's easy for those in power to rationalize to themselves why they no longer are beholden to their earlier promises. They will say to themselves "The situation ended up more nuanced than we expected"

(Which is exactly what Google said in February 2025 when they reneged on their pledge not to use their AI for military applications)

You're asking if the bitter lesson is true and the neural nets will become so general purpose, they'll eat the source control as well? Yes, but that won't happen for another couple months.

Don't you all understand that existing laws on the books are already adequate for dealing with the threat posed by AI

fwiw unlike the other person, I use it for hours with my macbook and have no complaints. you will like it if regular vr makes you feel claustrophobic/isolated, since you still see the real world while using it. I don't understand the obsession with extreme text crispness many people have.

"Surely nobody could be so incompetent."

Narrator: "They had the ability to be that incompetent."

I have no idea if diplomacy and/or war will end, I just hope we humans get to hang around a few more years
