- Comment on Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI 4 days ago:
It was propaganda before, it didn’t include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren’t actively seeking a job.
Trump’s issue wasn’t that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren’t far enough from reality.
- Comment on US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack 4 days ago:
Adopting and expanding terrible policy long term still signals future intent.
Anecdote, one of the biggest doorlock companies (i don’t recall the name) started migrating inputs and trying to expand sales towards europe, and set up a factory to assemble doorlocks in Vietnam during the 2nd half of Biden’s presidency. The CEO saw Biden maintain the tariffs and correctly understood Trump’s trade policy was not an aberration, but a bipartisan consensus. Unstable signals might delay expansion as businesses wait to see, bipartisan hostile signals tell businesses their long term plans do not include the US.

That’s the same bullshit justification Trump used. If the dems genuinely opposed with Trump’s trade war, they would have undone all his tariffs.

Probably, their interactions with humans/dogs suggest they have a “theory of mind”.

I don’t need to understand consciousness to be confident a llm is not conscious.
Dogs are glorified barking machines. Is a tape playing a tape of a dog barking have the consciousness or intellegence of a dog?

- Comment on Say, the country/countries you have citizenship in, decided to not want you anymore and threw you to some random "3rd world country", how do you survive? 1 week ago:
You’re fluent in chinese and english, you can help any community connect to the 2 largest markets on the planet. As a foreigner, the novelty makes it a lot easier to endear yourself to locals in places that don’t get a lot of foreigners.

I mean it depends on the country. Are Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand third world? Central Asia? I’m surviving better here than I ever did in America. South America or mexico would be fine too.
IDK if I could handle India or Africa or central America or Afghanistan or Pakistan.

It shouldn’t be too hard for any instance admin to write a script to compile any user’s 5 most liked, disliked, controversial posts, and 5 biggest upvoters/downvoters.
- Comment on Entertainment would be a lot less shitty if there is a legally-enforcible International Law that bans the act of cancelling TV Shows and forces all TV Shows to have a decently written ending. 1 week ago:
What about shows that were written without thought to how everything is supposed to knit back together? There was never going to be a satisfying conclusion to Lost.

I’ve never had shepherd’s pie, but I can’t imagine mutton in a pie is easy to get wrong. I eat something similar most days for breakfast. Sometimes there’s different seasoning and veggies and organ meats, but it’s never bad, except for the time it was testicles.
