Aren't NASA scientists such good examples, wantonly leaving litter on other planets?

What I would be curious to know is why the 'build god-machine' goal isn't being treated as the obvious winner just because you can have the god machine make facebook more addictive and better at serving ads.
You can't bet a company on ideas like that. There is absolutely zero assurance that we can even build an intelligent machine using classical computing techniques, and even less assurance that any of the basic AI techniques we are using can achieve it. It would actually be remarkable if we happened to stumble upon the design of an intelligent machine, given we have so little idea how our brains actual achieve this, and it would be ludicrously serendipitous if we were also able to stumble upon a super intelligence that can exponentially improve itself at the same time.
It would be like suggesting that cave men might have stumbled upon a working nuclear fusion reactor by smacking enough rocks together. We even understand the principles behind fusion and we're struggling to build one. But hey ho, we will just create a super intelligence even though we have no idea how intelligence works in our brains.
The people pushing this angle are delusional. Yes, it is entirely likely we can create better and better agents that appear to be intelligence and can perform useful tasks. But this super intelligence thing is dumb. If you wanted billions to setup a research lab to try to define intelligence and study the human brain, then that would make sense, but these people are saying they'll be able to time travel using anti-gravity thrusters before they can even speak some basic words.
My bet is that these superstar hires Zuckerberg has found are very intelligent grifters who will milk the situation for all the personal wealth they can. Those in actual revenue generating roles can probably see this, and that probably explains the rift.
Indeed. Obviously they do not want you to realize you are getting shafted. Looks like the algorithms are good enough now to successfully create that impression.
They are in the process of making sure nobody but the rich gets healthcare anymore
If you'd bought the S&P 500, would returns have outpaced inflation? So why not just index all incomes to nominal inflation, if inflation is just psychological noise?
Did you blip over the part that said "even when selecting in-store pickup rather than delivery" in your zeal to express a pre-existing mood?

Remember when Wells Fargo had to pay a bribe^wfine for employees opening up fake accounts for customers? Do they do anything important?
Well, not rally. The first printers were typewriters with cloth-ribbons and these were subject to the problems serifs address. I would say from around 24 needles onwards and typewriters with film-ribbons, serifs became inferior.
No. You are too stupid to understand even basic facts. Telling you anything is a complete waste of time.
Hey, if the morons insist on giving themselves worse health, I am all for it!
That is because some (like me) have already done it, while the others cannot deal with reality.
And nobody can afford these things anymore and idiots like this one need to scramble to undo their bad ideas.
Does "efficiency" mean not what you think it mesns, but "we get to do what we like, efficiently, without rationality stopping us"?
What effect does this new definition of "efficiency" have on mainstream economic theory? Is it time to put it in the dustbin of history?
