uh huh. so music is like a joke - the payoff is unexpected, while simultaneously adhering to scenario expectations.

so you're saying the author's personal experience is invalid or otherwise cannot be extrapolated to a wider concept ?

for a forum of programmers i find it remarkably amusing how difficult it seems to discuss classes instead of instantiations

perhaps we could discuss socialization rates in the west over the past few decades, to illuminate the human social trajectory in an environment of technologization? or, perhaps we could talk about the ways that kids behave after exposure to short form content like tik tok during their nascent stages of development. the progression of community volunteering rates could potentially be another great point to discuss. i dont think my perspective is entirely relevant here, but i go to the park and it feels very empty nowadays.

a small wonder the wunderkinds of computer science were at all capable given their lack of computer science degrees

rebelling against the social contract after decades of perceived neglect , a subset of the nerd class uprises and promptly stomps freedom out of existence. thus, a small amount of nerds act to cement the legacy of all nerds as dweebs. if only zuckerberg or thiel got the nerd kicked out of them. alas, bullying is considered a universal no no in contemporary western discourse, to protect those same nerds currently seeking to puppet the world to their lame ends. bring back bullying I say!

im legitimately curious why you felt the need to bring up wrongness , of course i could not compel you to answer , still it would be appreciated

putting morality to the side in favor of legal pragmatism , certain jurisdictions classify the act of accessing data without prior authority as data espionage

privacy is a luxury only afforded to the most deserving who clearly are worthy of digital god hood , toil in the mines prole and watch your tongue

personally i think its pretty cool to see that some books from thousands of years ago are applicable to a world the authors could never have imagined. it sure is a lot cooler than detonating earth to make peter thiel and other evil men of his ilk very briefly happy. from my angle, the absurdity is watching evolved monkeys toil to cease gigacenturies of evolution by permanently ruining their home.

things now make more sense, thank you for clarifying. in this new light, thiel's vision of transhumanism can be seen as the inverse of catholicism, where both meet at the concept of the soul from diametrically opposed angles (soul = undiscovered solution for some vs. soul = inherent mystery for all).

i like your ending quote, it is a great reframing of another quote, "beware of unearned wisdom".

kids have more fun with a SNES than they do with a PS5. office runs fine on 2010 era thinkpads. I get by with the cheapest possible nokia. a perceived need for modern tech conveniences is artificially engineered to program consumption behaviour into the uneducated or unwilling. I presume you fall into the latter camp and have your reasons, I don't believe such a decision could accurately be extrapolated to society at large.

im not sure what gives you the impression that wrongness (or an accusation thereof) was present here. may i ask why you felt the need to ask? personally i think it's interesting to be aware that many AI-isms originate in human english expression localized to certain regions.

openai has retracted many of their lean proofs for the big drop of supposed novel mathematical solns. if frontier ai screws it up , how does this inconsistency manifest in weaker models?

did u have a way to back that belief ?
