- Comment on Is the peoples deep interest in chemical experiment viral videos (e.g. liquid nitrogen in a pool) related to being shooed away from understanding real science? 5 weeks ago:
Liquid nitrogen in a pool is “stimulating” and generates an interesting physical effect. However, the point here in relating it to science is that there is some science behind it that gets the attention from people.
My argument is: people are naturally fascinated by this, but they’re put away by the strict laws, mainly mathematical laws, put forward by this.
Not that mathematics isn’t interesting, but you won’t incentivize people to go to a spitting contest by saying how you spit correctly. People want to see the strongest spit.
I think that’s all there is to it. If you can incentivize people into partaking on this endeavour (understanding chemical effects, in this case), you can bring much more value to science and people that are interested in it. You can, for example, explain interesting effects to people even though they’re looking at a clear liquid (most acids).

The progress of OpenAI since february has been pathetic. The other major AI LLMs have surpassed it a lot. I want to see how they will justify the investment.

I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the “standard” way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

The article criticized the closing of the Internet by Tehran, but the Internet is clear vulnerability that can be exploited in times of war.

Looks so good. I hope it’s ready soon. TES Arena has a really good endless exploration idea, where you can wander and find new things to do, it’s its best point in my opinion.

Imagine using Meta money at your local store or convenience store. It doesn’t stop there, you need a Facebook account to “login” into your wallet.

This would fit “A Boring Dystopia” well. I think protecting data isn’t the way to go. The effects of it can already be seen:
All the burocracy for common people, no burocracy at all for Big Tech. No IP, no robots.txt. They are trusted and can do whatever they like, starting on your phone. It honestly looks like another form of aristocracy.
- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 3 months ago:
I think many people wouldn’t like to live under a “Nerd Reich”, so it’s only natural that there is a mainstream article against that. I’m assuming people who don’t understand anything about the technology that keeps their attention most of the time are concerned about the possibility. Society losing grip over itself, that is, language (social skills) not being the primary characteristic of the successful anymore. That is a blow conventional people won’t take easily.

Awesome discussion.

People not accepting that other people got a easier time doing certain things than others is certainly a problem, but too much blaming isn’t good as well.

It doesn’t matter if they’re nerds or not. What matters is where society is swaying to.

Crawling the web is an important right for access of information. I think big crawlers shouldn’t dominate the market. Especially since Google isn’t up to par to find anything that is wanted anymore.
