"claude plays pokemon" shows that it struggles with mount moon (as did four year old me)

I think you are confusing hyperbole with poetic license, and overstating the effects it has on English vernacular. I am not American, but I wouldn't go around minimizing how industrious the "great society" is.

only inasmuch as a world where everyone playing violin in the streets is a dystopia, too...

who needs creativity when you can have built small-scale versions of your favorite intellectual properties?

Proposal via instagram is certainly a move.

...theological?

I mean, until there is an alternative in the space that has a (good), free, anonymous ai web search then I think we can probably assume you are confusing what you want with what is "viable"

not only is it intellectually lazy, its just plain lazy. this is hackernews, surely you've heard of artificial intelligence?

This presumes humans will survive until the point they have to deal with it. Irrefutability and far-future events are oil and water.

Bold claim. Why?

weird to film someone doing their job just to prove you could ask for tea without taking off your big vr headset. hope they asked for permission to post this.

The acquisition of books is totally decoupled from the "artistic value" and "intelligence" that reading them proffers. I buy books too, rarely at retail but sometimes, and I make no bones that my desire to do so is as consumerist as anything else I purchase.

Thats a reductive read. I thought this forum was supposed to encourage a higher minded discourse?

I don't love the way the dude handled it, but what is preventing you from even considering that it is a genuine gesture to his employees?

Sounds like consumerism
