doesnt specify how much longevity, just says hope to add years. i didn't read it, asked GPT, because I'm not going through all that to dig out an answer they may not have included just to make you read it

i (biasedly) thought this was going to be a reddit-like infinitely nested threaded interface to chat with GPT (as opposed to the serial chat-like dialogue based one.

> their motivations aren’t entirely altruistic

well obviously. who is going to expend the resources and headache to fight the powerful evil wraths of Google and Facebook on such a notion as altruism

> Why would I assume any company would act in my interests when they have clear incentives to increase their profits and control by acting counter to them?

Even without perverse incentives, why would another agent in your environment have any reason to go out of their way to have your best interest at heart?

No, I care a lot about the future of humanity, but only if my progeny is a part of it. I was my descendants to be among those colonizing the stars. I guess it's kind of like the difference between having sex vs watching porn.

> Also a despotic regieme could still do good engineering and science and colonize other planets and whatnot, making it less likely we go extinct, also it would be likely to fragment into different societies at that point.

Is it bad that deep down, I feel that I don't care for humanity's proliferation or "success" if my progeny is not part of it? for instance, if our current human population is decimated by some bioweapon, and somehow humanity resurfaces and successfully ventures into the stars (without my genes), then I care not for it?

would it be possible to filter the frames of the video such that only a certain app is shown? so if you're tabbing back and forth then the desired app is shown

> I built this website because I was tired of quora asking me to sign up all the time

not to be condescending but isn't that the natural convergence point of all these apps assuming you're operating in a capitalist environment? so the way I see it, your app either will stay unpopular and without signups and aggressive user conversions, or it will get big, and become quora. die young or live long enough to be the villain as they say.

neat! maybe instead of a 7min tutorial a 10 second demo would be nicer to have at the top

> I never even realized I was developing coping skills vs. just developing normal skills
