seems like a stretch, especially when you could choose from 10 of them if u feel they're dropping off.

Also, it's not like you're running any full models on local without shelling out 20k+

isn't it the same using the same model you host locally but through a cloud provider? does the $ math favour a local setup then?

> Freedom gives you the ability to get hurt, are we afraid of that?

A very large percentage of society I suspect is afraid of that and would happily give away freedom for safety. Eliza's argument does make sense, a dictator without an "ego", or at least not one like a human would have would be more trustworthy, especially when it had the option to force itself a lot more than it did but it didn't.

Brawn was not done away with, a smaller percentage of the population is needed for it but, according to gemini 4, construction / mechanics etc account for 29.1%, heavy and very heavy work is about 7%

It's about honor, I remember Saddam Hussein saying that after they held against the US for 40 days they "won" the war, because in their culture when a higher power entity goes against a weaker one, it is without honor and the weaker entity "wins" honor by being able to defend for that long.

How does holding gold protect from devaluation? No one has currency backed by gold any more.

> when the bubble bursts, and it will, we will suddenly be left with millions of people thoroughly deskilled who will be useless. lots of reeducation needed, and lots of people will just be left behind.

what do you mean by this, that costs will become too high and people won't afford it? hardware won't go up in smoke "when the bubble bursts"

maybe collapse in valuation, collapse in demand? I don't see that happening any time soon, it's too useful, idk how anyone can contest it is useful and not just hype.

most people who care about legality don't work in that field either. whoever gets into this probably starts by being ok with doing shady stuff, I imagine.
