AI is sucking money out of other sectors. Unfortunately many of which a degrow means a decrease in living standards (unless you can afford the premium). I think they call it K shaped economy. It's bad right now.

Man, there's no point in replying. You are argueing with a non-human therefore the conversation is without meaning and impact and thus a waste of time and energy.

Outer space smells like burnt flesh is what I've heard. Space is full of toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are created in novae and are everywhere in outer space in small amounts. They're the same chemicals that generate when organic compounds and fossil fuels are burnt.

Makes me wonder even more why some people really want to go and live there.


Has anyone tried to breath space? :)

Maybe you try it. :)

Moon dust is really nasty and actually a bigger problem for astronauts and equipment than radiation which can simply be avoided by settling in magma tunnels.

And it was one of the best games ever made. Back in the day equivalent to a AAA tier game of today.


There's AI features and tips in Youtube's Creator Studio, they are encouraging creators to use AI tools. Makes sense that they also then reward videos that make use of it. That's how these platforms nudge people into products and behavior that they want to bring to market.


Can this finally break the stock markets?


The safe bet is no. Based on other comments, this would depend a lot on the specific trends you're trying to predict. But it wouldn't work for everything in the stock market.


Where is the Exit to this dystopia?


Well, with data analysis powers like this a few treasonous words in front of a flock camera will show you the way.


In the matrix the exit was pay phones, which perhaps explains why our overlords are removing them


Suicide booths a la Futurama



Thanks for sharing. They say "pause", not stop. Assume that we pause now. When should we resume then? How do we know?


You don’t wanna live in Night City?


I don’t think this means we’re in a dystopia


You might not have been paying attention


I think Radiohead said that


The dystopia of searching for video clips and finding them? What?


Yes? Right now it is relatively expensive to search video. As embedding tech like this advances and makes it even cheaper it just increases the ability to search and analyze every movement. “Locate speech patterns that indicate dissident activity using the dissident activity skill”


The Matrix style human pods: we live in blissful ignorance in the Matrix, while the LLMs extract more and more compute power from us so some CEO somewhere can claim they have now replaced all humans with machines in their business.


I was thinking more of the season 3 episode of Doctor Who titled Gridlock where everyone lives in flying cars circling a giant expressway underground, while all the upper class people on the surface died years ago from a pandemic.


Ever get the feeling that the universe is reading your mind? Maybe there's some truth to that after all.


If you are too happy to work, you are sick. Makes sense.


They WANT to think in absolutes which is a red flag in a person.


That's not been my observation at all. Rationalists are some of the only people to really embrace fuzzy and probabilistic thinking. Am I missing something?


Maybe rationalists aren’t homogeneous? Unfortunately there are a rather concerning amount of news articles detailing cases where some subset of the rationalist community has gone off the deep end.
