I suppose the difference is that the algorithm isn't specific per user. There are no bubbles like on social media, and the algorithm isn't designed to keep users engaged by tailoring their feed based on their viewing history.

I found Claude Code to work best. You can use it with any compatible API.

The many worlds are a consequence, not a postulate. It is the Copenhagen interpretation that postulates that all branches but one disappear at measurement.

Yes. Many worlds is just the Schrödinger equation without the wave function collapse. It makes less assumptions. Falsify the Schrödinger equation, and you have falsified many worlds. However, is the wave function collapse falsifiable? It's one postulate which many worlds doesn't make, and it cannot be confirmed or falsified by experiment.

Or: Microsoft has the data already, so why give the data to Anthropic and OpenAI, too?

Wait, when did brain chips enter the picture?

Were paper straws ever about climate change? This feels like a red herring. Pollution has many aspects to it, and you can work on several problems simultaneously.

School shouldn't be teaching essential life skills. It should inspire and enable young people to go on to achieve great things -- at least some of them. How will we ever get another Newton, Einstein, von Neumann, Noether, etc. if we don't teach all young kids what is possible with math? Calculus arguably transformed our society and is a great showcase of the power of math. It can shape the way we think about things, because this level of precision is rarely needed when thinking about other disciplines.

No, because it may cause the violation of basic human rights of minorities.

However, it is in our democratic right to fight parties that are anti constitutional. It's in the constitution.

> If people dont want democracy they should be able to choose so.

Debatable. One of the core ideas of democracy is to protect minorities. Democracy has been built around the concept that a majority cannot restrict basic rights of minorities. Arguably no one should be allowed to create a system which allows the violation of basic human rights of minorities.

That's not the whole thing. Looks like it's mostly meta data. The whole thing is some 200G+ bittorrent.

I have yet to see any actual data of this leak, even though it's all over the news.

You can just tell them to adopt a different style. To make sure, add another pass with an agent that flags and/or fixes LLM tics. Humans typically do several passes over writings that they intend to publish, why are we expecting agents to do it in one shot? Just like the superpowers skill for software development does a spec phase, planning phase, several review rounds, etc., if you do the same with writing you get very passable results.
