I am the epitome of mediocrity

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elusives_ @DavidDeutschOxf And that's what makes universality so important. In the Popperian view, we aren't "smarter" than Neanderthals and AGI won't be smarter than us. Because you can't be "more universal". The degree to which we are more advanced is cultural, not physiological.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@astupple Well I hope it will still be weird to think of oneself as codmically better than everyone else.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@GeneralMCNews He does realize that he (POTUS) does not create laws, right? They must be created and passed by Congress first. He has no power to create laws governing Congress.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@pmddomingos AI will be a person. China is already creating lots of those.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk The best sign of lack of intelligence is thinking you can predict the future.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk Sure, but there's a bigger shortage of self flying planes.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk That's such a ridiculously silly comment, from an otherwise brilliant guy. But it just goes to show you don't have to understand the economy to make a lot of money.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk Well that and...most don't understand (epistemologically) what "education" is. We're still using bucket theory.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@realtimeai @elonmusk Esp funny since vasectomy and IUD appts rose after the election. Which Musk supported on the premise that it was liberals eliminating themselves. So he's ok with pop collapse as long as it's liberals. 😆

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@christiandean_ Surely you'd agree that children should be free to eat this "slop" willingly? Yes? I mean I too am against the movement to kill traditional meat products. But I'm not against the knowledge gained from creating stuff like this (if chosen freely).

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@_CameronLane And yet the economy remains affordable for the vast majority. And increasingly so, since poverty levels continue to decline.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@Thib_DP @christiandean_ Yes I get that. I'm asking if you are accusing companies of current abuses. Or if you are simply advocating for a megaphone to call out possible abuses in an "unregulated" environment (which I agree with).

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@Thib_DP @christiandean_ What abuse by food companies? Do you mean abuses they might engage in if not regulated?

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@christiandean_ Agreed. To be fair though (in the US at least) both sides are certainly guilty. ANY attempt at reasonable abortion protections is met with "you want to kill babies". Seems to be a symptom of the current trend of hyperbole.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@4Tier_Bridge @christiandean_ @yaronbrook The average African worker is just as capable of economic misconceptions as anyone else (probably more). After all, even most people in the west believe that our economy should be "more affordable" which can't be done.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@Thib_DP @JMilei Most (in western democracies) are. They just have different definitions of freedom, along with deep misconceptions about "his" definition of freedom.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk Not as much as COLAs do.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk Indeed. Fantasy games should limit themselves to reality.

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@astupple @Andercot And imo, problem solving seems inherently expansionist. If you're trying to solve a problem and you've decided it must be a solution that reduces "being seen", you're going to be terrible at solving problems. And yeah, you'll never be seen. 🤣

[DavidC @IamtheWay13]

@elonmusk And the Gaetz ethics report. 😉
