We're not even taking all the same pills on long-settled science like climate change.

And most of the world is still taking crazy pills.


To what degree are the competing Chinese labs nationalized?

And—although this is a different point—it's their flagrant exploitation of information commons that warrants their special treatment.


It's not "automation"—it's lack of ownership over the firm, such that automation gains pass us by.

It's obviously Capital that gains, and Labor that's screwed.


This is not how accusations of hypocrisy work. I don't have to agree with any particular stance of yours in order to accuse you of hypocrisy.

A place doesn't have to be relatively bad to warrant more democracy.

Why is everyone so apprehensive about democracy?


> work for a non-profit? Aren't they mostly volunteers?

No. Common misconception. It's a business and career like any other.

> experience in my youth volunteering at animal shelters and environmental protection groups

Just not applicable, here.


>It's a business and career like any other.

Then why should we treat Wikipedia any differently than we treat Meta, OpenAI, Google, Apple etc? When they're just in the business of making money and the "mission" can always just be another facade similar to OpenAI?

>Just not applicable, here.

Explain please.


> should we treat Wikipedia any differently

I'm not sure we should. Should we? How so?

> Explain please.

Explain the difference between youth volunteer-work and vocational career-work?


> [Behavior X] is encouraged in my social circles and anyone who says otherwise is weak minded

What is "weak-minded"? Seems like an awfully brittle perspective.


Shut up. Just shut up.

> Avoid generic tangents.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals

I’ll point out you also violate this guideline.

Do you seriously read the article and not see that it is extremely low signal-to-noise? And full of non-sequiturs and strange unnecessary clarifications? And passed off as a research project.

“Claude, write an article about why agents use grep instead of LSP”

This would have saved everyone the pain of reading this.

As another user pointed out: “Training support is a hypothesis consistent with these results, not something this study proves.” is not a sentence a human would write, nor is it a sentence that a human should ever be made to read. I apologize for reproducing it; the article is chock full of these “gems”.


100%. This article is written by AI. The problem is it makes you doubt the whole thing: Did the person behind this do any work at all? Or is this just content marketing for an AI project - something that used to require time and effort - but now can be done by anyone with a click on a button.

Too bad. Because this is sort of an interesting subject.


Have you never read human writing before? Humans write all kinds of confusingly worded things all the time - it’s why we have editors even for writers who are the cream of the crop.

But also that sentence is entirely fine as it is to me, it’s pretty simple and clear isn’t it?


>Shut up. Just shut up.

Try to remain civil, even when you have Big Feelings.


You're probably reading too much into it.

There's nothing biological about men's disinclination to wash dishes or write a birthday card.


That reads like one of those commonly held tropes that are not true. Like "back in my day it was possible to raise a family, buy a house, two cars and a boat on one salary." When the reality for the majority was both parents worked.

In the metro I live in of >2 million I have come across numerous men and women with their shit together at home and numerous men and women who live like feral dogs despite appearing at work with their shit together.


"Civil" violence also ripples out.


There is already a named concept for it, you were probably looking for "social murder"


I chose not to use that term, in this case, because it bears the wrong connotation to the uninitiated.

Right, so we need to utterly destroy people doing civil violence, or it'll ripple out quicker.

Lets just cull the bottom 2% of offenders this decade, and see its long term effects.
