The simple reality is that if we want to actually address climate change a lot of people are going to have to move to cities and people that live in cities today that care about climate change need to come to terms with that.

There are some scary parts of the Canadian political system, but I’d put the Notwithstanding Clause way higher than the monarchy when it comes to tyranny potential.

when more Jev-style models are created imo the obvious category name for them is 'oracles' but I secretly hope they get Kleenex'd® and all become Jevs

"if these employees were actually scared of what they're building, they would just stop" you have an understanding of the problem gleaned through quotes and headlines. it's Nukes 2. They are terrified

If your objection to machine consciousness fails to address Turing's 75-year-old counterarguments then I don't think you are fully engaging with the concept en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computi...

For years I've mentally written off P v NP as the equivalent of creating the philosopher's stone, and it's finally sinking in that it might be solved in my lifetime. And if so, it will probably be sooner rather than later. I wonder how many aggregate tok/sec are already being aimed at it right now.

At the very least, those on the left who are skeptical of these things should familiarize themselves with the barriers to even building affordable housing. We could launch a $100 billion program tomorrow and municipal + provincial intransigence would mean we get limited affordable unit counts.

yes this also applies in the inverse too: techbros who claim to love biohacking and transhumanism but then oppose gender affirming care are also massive posers

I'm open to most arguments against modern AI, but if you sincerely believe that their reported capabilities are "marketing hype" then you are not engaging with reality
