And by that we mean both that the people are dumb/gullible and that the LLMs are dumb/gullible.

Isn’t “intelligence” so ill defined we can’t prove it either way. All we have is models doing better on benchmarks and everyone shrieking “look emergent intelligence”.
I disagree a bit on “toys”. Machine summarization and translation is really quite powerful, but yeah that’s a ways short of the claims that are being made.
Across all sports the US has over 3 times china’s all time medal totals in both summer and winter games. Not even having double is a pretty significant underperformance.
Maybe we should conclude gun culture makes a nation better at track and field because people get more practice running away 😂
Yeah fuck suicidal people and anyone killed by cops they had it coming. Jesus christ.
As for “justifiable homicide”, you mean like… when the other guy had a gun… You want to discount those deaths why?
If we take your number at face value. This is kind of a trolley problem thing right. Should 99 people get to have a nice day out at the range once a month, which they could easily replace with any other leisure activity, if it means one person has to die violently. If you honestly like those odds then fair play mad max.
You missed the point. Saying that calling it “fun” is problematic doesn’t imply that you can’t have fun, of course you can (I have, a tonne). I assume the above comment called it problematic because they weighed the “fun” of gun owners against 40k dead Americans a year and decided maybe we shouldn’t be focusing on the entertainment.
You can absolutely have more gun control and not really inhibit firearm sports or hunting BTW. The USA ought to have a monopoly on Olympic shooting medals if that weren’t the case 😅
Not wanting to to call the private ownership of deadly weapons fun is hardly “intense”. Of anything it undersells the point.
Speaking as someone who enjoyed regular target rifle practice and competitions for the best part of a decade since you insist that matters.
Obviously everyone knows there are costs. It’s free (at the point of use) but almost noone needs the brackets to be explicit. The point being that it’s more efficient and you continue to get it even if you have no “gross income” because we’re not monsters.
Also how many countries have a “fixed percentage” with literally no allowances or brackets. I can’t think of any.


A normal full time job including holiday is only ~140 hours a month. Assuming you believe their user stats too that would be pretty grim. You probably shouldn’t though.


11 billion engagement hours a month! Does anyone seriously believe that lol. And still not profitable! What do they need, ever human beings every waking hour to spin a profit!?
Isn’t the biggest risk that you can’t shift your weight enough in emergency braking? The stopping distance must be horrible.
Yeah but how many users are actually that brave/stupid? 100kph feels FAST on a motorbike, I can’t imagine how it feels on one of these 😬
Am actually really interested in the safety stats. Would guess on those things you aren’t doing more than 40, so probably not too bad for rider vs e.g. motorbikes where the temptation is to crazy speeds. And with it being smaller/lighter than a car it’s clearly safer for pedestrians and other vehicles.


Nah this is just whataboutism. We all agree that the highest severity issues are access to heathcare/nutrition/sanitation/education in developing countries or among the homeless etc. That doesn’t mean we are suddenly not allowed to talk about anything else.
Do you do this in real life?
Colleague: “hey did you catch the game this weekend, boy I hate being a jets fan”
Blarghly: “that’s rather gauche, don’t you know there’s major food insecurity in sudan”
It has the intellectual weight of a parent trying to cajole their toddler into eating.


Yeah, again this is just semantics, a 401k in British English is 100% a pension. A UK defined contribution “workplace pension” is just a tax sheltered retirement account until it is annuitized, which is common and sensible but not necessary. The annuity is technically a totally different product, offered by life insurance companies (who interestingly with reference to above conversation would typically hold very little equity exposure backing it). Brits also call the equivalent to the social security retirement benefit the “state pension”. It’s a catch all for assets you use in retirement. Whether that’s used to fund an investment drawdown product or a life annuity or just taken out and splurged on a Ferrari makes no difference.


About half of the US population is enrolled in a pension even today…


Not true of UK defined contribution, you can do what you want just like a 401k, though it may be disadvantagous for tax purposes.
It’s pretty normal in British English to use pension as a synonym for retirement account, though I can see why you don’t like that.


Didn’t knights of the old republic have farkle in too? It’s a good game, and I guess just unfamiliar enough to bolt into a fantasy setting.


God help the partners of patient gamers (the ones that aren’t gamers themselves)


That’s his whole schtick though, I bet 90% of people end up with the “good” ending and it rings hollow and everything just feels like his chickens coming home to roost. I really into the Arthur morgan/Joel from last of us type: sympathetic but ultimately shitty character getting what they deserve and it feels fair but still sad. Fucking brilliant story telling in both cases.
P.s. I totally agree that the gunfights are almost always immersion breaking.
Me to, transformers, me too.
