Seriously? Have you no insight at all? Listen, some minimal understanding of reality is required to play. Please get that.

That unfortunately makes a lot of sense. And it makes for a larger number of complete personal failures on an epic level. As if having mountains of money was a worthwhile goal, compared to, say, working on your skills of seeing reality or having good ethics.

Well, the desire to have more "gold" or "game tokens" (which is valid modern equivalent, agreed), is probably as old as the invention of any money-like thing that scales well enough. This desire is also utterly destructive if not kept in check.

Personally, I do not get this. Money only gets value when you spend it. And what you can actually spend is limited as long as you do rational spending. Also fits in with the now very well verified research result that money does not buy you happiness. The sweet spot seems to be around $75k ... $100k income per year in the west. I cannot imagine how unhappy people like Musk or Trump must be...

Reddit isn't wrong about bots but odds are what they really want is your identity. That earns money.

The trouble is people in Saudi Arabia will use old. to read about liberation topics or people in the US will read about drug topics, or whatever the mala prohibita are that will land you in prison for things that are perfectly legal in other jurisdictions.

Even people with accounts who read other subs logged in.

"Just create a new anonymous account" is what people will say who don't understand how identity correlation works. Sure there are ways that 0.0000001% of the population can manage securely, but that's not how this will go down.

The UK just arrested an American attorney who was critical of UK politics and they have multiple people in prison for clicking 'Like'. If you think they won't arrest somebody for reading the wrong sub, give it a few months.

Also, don't connect through Heathrow ever again.

I must 100% agree with this. I've never subscribed to any of various politics, religion, pop culture, or other such subs that are sure to be a cesspool. But I've found great value in homeowner, personal finance, robot lawn mower, retirement (crossing my fingers), tech, hobby, and other special interest subs. The only ones that get crappy with any regularity are the local state/city ones, as political bowels inevitably dump their load there.

They live to long anyways. Stress via noise is a nice way to fix that.

Come on, you too now? There are a lot of immature people here, but you and me are generally not among those.

For reference, the USSR is a case where that happened before. There are others. It causes upheaval, a lot of people get crushed, but overall things continue to work and that is what I am saying here. This is macro-level, not detail level. You usually get that.

Indeed. Although I think there is no "again" here. I mean, I did go full-on in on it and this person still noticed nothing. That looks like a fundamental mental limit to me, not like lack of experience.

Obviously. Careful antibiotics testing is absolutely critical. This is one of the reason the development in that area is so slow. Just finding an antibiotic is easy. Finding one that is worth it is very hard.

That is not the situation we have here. The LLM proponents are not giving "experts better tools", they are trying to get rid of the experts.

Finding a flaw that was easy to find and prevent and then claiming superior might is a stunt. That you lack the mental capability to understand even basic things like this is nothing new.

Except for being rich, Trump represents his fan-base pretty well: White, fat, arrogant, uneducated, stupid. I would think that most of his fan-base are not convicted felons, rapists and war-criminals though. Mybe just because they did not get the opportunity.

China understand very well what makes a reliable business partner. They will not do anything like that.

Indeed. Lawful evil you can trade with, because at least they are dependable. "Chaotic" of any kind, you cannot. The problem is that all business needs to be able to plan investments, sometimes over 10 years or longer. And that is completely impossible with a chaotic leadership in a potential trading partner.

Indeed. But the de-Americanization of the world is well underway. Will take some time, but there is really nothing unique the US makes. There are unique things in Europe (like ASML) and China has a massive advantage doing renewables because they deploy like crazy in their own country. But the US? Not even their weapons sell well these days, with the F-35 lemon and future drone strategies being created and refined in Ukraine.

Clearly. Cost of doing business when you put a Mafia-style government into place. Of course, everything goes to crap as well, but apparently the voter wants that.
