@Daniel96525632@Bryce_Estelle@Notnotplou But to answer your question, the government can decide what is legally a person. But it isnt an arbiter on what a person philosophically is, which is whats important to the debate happening here
Noone would disagree with you in saying that fetuses are not currently legal persons
@Daniel96525632@Bryce_Estelle@Notnotplou What i meant was whether someone is a person and whether the government recognises that person is a person are not the same thing. Slaves werent "not people" who transitioned to being "people" the day the government decided that they were people
@Daniel96525632@Bryce_Estelle@Notnotplou This definition of personhood is bad. Natural ecosystems are often considered persons by the law. Same with corporations.

@Bryce_Estelle@Notnotplou If you concede that its living then every debate from evacuationist arguments all the way to violinist arguments and even consideration for the baby's life is just cope. Its a person with rights that arent dependent on its location
@Bryce_Estelle@Notnotplou What would be the difference between killing it a month before birth, a day after birth and a month after assuming circumstances remain the same, assuming the child is unable to feel pain and recognise its existence? The birthing canal is not a magical rights granting portal

@jade__42@Robotbeat ...result is hundreds of thousands of idle chips. Its simply bad math. Which is why all these deals are temporary btw - when xAI has good models that would be served profitably, they will just evict google and anthropic
@jade__42@Robotbeat 1. xAI already had the datacenters that spacex is renting out. Spacex could not have built this capacity alone (allocations for gpus and power, money that xai got for free)
2. Grok sucks which means they are doing no inference which means even if they havent given up, the...
@KenKirtland17 The private markets now have enough liquidity to fund promising companies ad infinitum and the companies wont have to worry about the baggage from being public. This is bad for retail investors and wealth inequality long term
@KenKirtland17 I only disagree because of optics (becoming a trillionaire because of financial engineering doesnt look good). But the IPO system needs/needed shaking up. If the IPO system can't create all these different structural benefits, big and promising companies simply won't IPO...
