@bariweiss @TheFP Can one be ready to be obsolete? Is this a thing?

Understand this: if AI is smarter than Humans in Civilizational sense, human Art also won't matter.

Human Art is about human achievement, if humans aren't relevant any more, there's nothing to create Art about.

@jordanmcgillis @CityJournal There is a major problem with selling Chinese cars outside of Asia: they stole too much of other car makers' IP.

@SteveStuWill With all our current processes and tech we still don't know all about violence today. To think that we know about violence in remote past and can meaningfully compare questionable.

@Yoshua_Bengio @TIME Explain this to me as to a 5 y.o.

When you say that AI needs to be "aligned" - aligned with who? Who's values and goals?

@ATRightMovies My god it's terrible. You see it without the camerawork and you realize these people just can't move.

Have you seen Keanu Reeves move with the gun on the range, with no effects? No difference between cinema and real life. He put in the effort.

@literaryeric @zdch @mattyglesias Blame can be assigned in more than more way.

I'm not sure I agree the Doge is doing nothing.

@CityJournal The value of a University is in networking and the diploma. Unfortunately.

Do you really think people who end up in law, finance, politics, and business chose their college based on quality of research?

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@literaryeric @zdch @mattyglesias 1. an org wastes 100M
2. your friend cuts that by 10K
3. Doge cleans up the whole org
see how it works?

@davidmcw What I call word-level thinking.

@elonmusk terrible density though. I'm driving past many solar installations and they're ugly and bad for local environment.

@semaforben Economics is about money. Trump is a billionaire. How much money has the economist Ken Rogoff made?

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@DKThomp that's what you get for pushing vaccines on people. Bad politics results in overreaction.

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@RepMarkPocan So let me have it.
B.S.

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@JamesMuchLesser @RepMarkPocan you can still save the money you have left after someone stole a part of it? Wow.

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@MEMRIReports One problem with these people, they are a cock-posturing culture. Which often results in unforced mistakes.

@danielcincu @paulg Not everywhere and not all of the time.

But more universally, the point is the height of the seat. With an SUV, you shift into the seat. With a sedan you climb down into it. The sitting position too is different. It's just bad ergonomics.

@PTBwrites Really? You want to get into an argument with your kid at every gas stop?

Rest areas on highways are for getting gas, going to the bathroom, and maybe a quick nap if you have no spare driver. Not for spending quality time with your family.

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@MEMRIReports Oh, Canada...

[Alexander Ne @AlexanderN2022]

@pstAsiatech People in the US value the freedom to drive anywhere in the country they want. Probably not really relevant in China.
