You think it will ever be better than humans in this area? Or is that the true frontier?

[Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ @ESYudkowsky]

The AI's ability to flatter you and pretend to be your friend is currently in the "grotesque fingers" stage. Remember how long that stage lasted?

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@schieritz Man sieht absolut wie China, Deutschland und Südkorea durch Exportüberschüsse zerstört wurden. Wirklich geschundene Länder.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Seems like a great PhD advisor to have, when actually one ends up advising on international trade.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Where is the problem again, can you elaborate?

[Rudi Bachmann @BachmannRudi]

Billionaires getting nervous. Lol.

🤣🤣🤣

Maybe, just maybe people should listen once to people who research this stuff professionally. PhD economists!

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

At 1:45 @RealPNavarro is saying that the biggest and broadest tax cut in US history is coming in the next months.

Is it possible that the US will abolish income tax for 75% of US taxpayers?

Navarro also said the Dow will hit 50.000

@SpencerHakimian @wealthpathh Don't try to reverse it, accept it and bow down to your new masters, right?

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Die Linke hat somit erfolgreich die Strategie der FDP, sich mit jungen Wählern den Bundestagseinzug zu sichern, übernommen.

Auch die AfD scheint damit gut zu fahren.

Der FDP gelang es offensichtlich nicht.

Parteien können sich nicht leisten jüngere Wähler nicht anzusprechen.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Wilde Theorien, aber was fest steht ist das man bei einer Wahl mit jungen Wählern praktische im Alleingang schon an den 10% kratzt.

Die FDP konnte bei der letzten Wahl vor allem mit jungen Stimmen einziehen und auch bei dieses Mal waren junge Wähler die stärksten Unterstützer.

[BenLppl @BenjaminLaepple]

Der Abstieg der FDP begann in Thüringen mit dem Zerfall der mühevoll aufgebauten 2017er Wählerkoalition.
Die 2021 Wählerschaft bestand notgedrungen aus „Kubicki“-Wählern, geborgte Stimmen, die kein fester Teil einer „liberalen“ Wählerkoalition werden konnten.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

The bad takes keep piling up.

This is the best result in the AfD's history, doubling its votes since the last election.

Likely the second worst result for the CDU/CSU in its history.

Barely anyone in Germany believes the AfD can be stopped if this government does not deliver.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Maybe Vance and Musk might think twice in the future before meddling in the internal affairs of democratic allies. But I’m glad they did in Germany!

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@nobuhojimichaan @NTFabiano @pdmirandola It does make sense. Money should be redirected towards preventative medicine and not much additional investment is needed.

Studies saying savings from prevention are low are vastly underestimating how tech will drive down prices and automate medicine in the next 15 years.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@nobuhojimichaan @NTFabiano @pdmirandola But it's obvious, that I'm dealing with a genius who thinks buying burgers from McDonalds classifies as an investment.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@nobuhojimichaan @NTFabiano @pdmirandola As these services would get recommended in regular medical practice, they would likely not need high outside "investment" to grow.

Business side is growing through increasing demand and insurance side could redirect investment and save through more effective outcomes.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@nobuhojimichaan @NTFabiano @pdmirandola Wrong again, the problem is not lack of investment in these sectors.

The problem is giving people medical advice along their fitness journey is still seen as a niche topic for bodybuilders rather than something the general population needs. A lot of money can made in this area.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@NTFabiano @pdmirandola Wrong, fitness, healthy food and sleep trackers are huge profitable business sectors with many positive impacts.

Moreover, health insurance companies in Germany pay significant bonuses to people who have an active gym membership or want to buy a smart watch.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@svenweizenegger Wie gehen Sie damit um, dass Sie die angehefteten Worte Ihres Ministers komplett in den Wind schießen?

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Ist es klug jemanden an die AfD zu verlieren, der praktisch im Alleingang Brandenburg zum am schnellsten wachsenden Bundesland Deutschlands gemacht hat?

Oder sind Sie als Wahlbayer einfach nicht objektiv, Herr Masala?

[Carlo "Realism, Gedankenfetzen and Rants" Masala @CarloMasala1]

Next Level infantiler Wahlkampf freigeschaltet

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Falsch, @_FriedrichMerz nennt auch explizit die Herstellung der territorialen Integrität der Ukraine als Ziel.

Bitte berichtigen Sie ihren Fehler.

[Anna Sauerbrey @annakatrein]

Fordert Bündnisfreiheit für Ukraine, also möglicher Nato-Beitritt, und politische Freiheit, zu Territorium nichts gesagt.

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

@giulio_mattioli But "forgiving people" for believing East Germany is a "destitute hellhole" and then showing metrics, that essentially compares it to France or Finland by looking at all the wrong things, makes it pretty obvious

[Geo @GeorgBerr]

Tell me you have no idea, without telling me, you have no idea.

There is no point in comparing GDP per capita, when for 2 decades East Germans had an unemployment rate between 10-20%. Something that is comparable to Spain.

Only in the last 5 years unemployment rates aligned.

[Giulio Mattioli @giulio_mattioli]

Listening to the German debate, you'd be forgiven for believing that East Germany is a destitute, miserable hellhole.

BUT
