Is the real secret how unreliable (why wouldn't private companies lie to them?) and open to political interpretation all their data really is?

What if it's trolling all the way down, and you just lack self-awareness?

Are you claiming if Japan had spent printed money on a basic income, they would be experiencing hyperinflation right now? How is that different from predictions of hyperinflation due to a 250% debt-to-GDP ratio where they spent printed money on things like trying to encourage fertility (which failed)? In short, why isn't the takeaway that printing money doesn't necessitate hyperinflation as claimed?

Do they have lots of secretive data manipulations for political purposes that they are trying to hide?

And then your other sock puppet to repost bizarrely modified versions of old comments of mine is not a way forward.

Also you put way too much effort into this silly little dying website

Won't happen, at least not with my books.

There is a reason writing the last one took two years. Many of its passages have very carefully considered wordings. Intentional ambiguities. Alliterations. Words chosen because the other term for the same thing is too similar to another thing that occurs in the same paragraph. Names picked with intention, by the sound of them (harsher or softer, for example).

I've used AI extensively in many fields. Including translations. It's pretty good for normal texts like newspaper articles or Wikipedia or something. But for a book, where the emotional impact of things matter, where you can't just substitute one words for a synonym and get the same effect - no, I don't think so.

This is one area where even I with a general positive attitude to AI want a human translator with whom I can discuss these things and where I can get a feeling of "did she understand this part of the book and why it's described this way?".

Did you just say they don't get context-sensitivity right except in natural language which was the very place where we never could get context sensitivity right using neural networks or rules-based systems alone?

If F=ma doesn't work at quantum or galactic scales, can I question if it really works the way we think at our scale, or have we gone and hallucinated a zero-sum physics like epicyclists built a theory on the concept that circles are perfect therefore planets must orbit in circles?

If this was "normal" in US, fracking boom wouldn't have happened, for largely same reasons it didn't happen across EU. Popular resistance from land owners. No one wanted to deal with problems of fracking on their land, without getting well compensated for it.

In US, land owners got compensated, so they pushed for it. US federalism does allow for people to run their states like pants on the head retarded communists (which is actually rare for communists, most tend to be of at least average intelligence and significant plurality are highly intelligent, see Chinese Communists where 130IQ is estimated to be on the lower end needed to get into party leadership role).

But your name suggests you're an Oregonian, and Oregon is indeed one of those rare exceptions that proves the rule. Utter far left insanity in leadership, and not even the intelligent kind unlike for example Chinese.

How come Japan's been printing like mad for decades without suffering the imminent predicted collapse into a hyperinflationary failed state?

You could start with the fact that he secured by far the most investments out of all AI companies for his company.

You could then go on to note them being top attractors of relevant talent in the field, and having stayed that way for many years at this point.

Then you can proceed to noting that he has become the de facto public face of current AI push. Most people have no idea who leads Anthropic. Meanwhile pretty much everyone who follows AI even remotely knows who Altman is.

So best investment acquisition, best hiring capability, best PR just to name a few critical fields for a CEO. To argue with those results is to argue with reality. You can hate man all you want (frankly, it's easy to do, dude is a shifty asshole with physiognomy of a used car salesman). But results speak for themselves.

Is enclosure the real problem you're railing at? What if we printed money to buy back 50% of land and make it Commons again?

Delusion of Divinity of Man rather than accepting that human is an evolved animal is a pretty common reason for having problems dealing with reality nowadays.

Notably human leaders generally don't kill infants of previous leaders, because our tribal structures evolved to be different from lions. We had our evolutionary divergence from them a very long time ago.

Did Star Trek deny the Tiananmen Square incident?

How come US consumption has been flat over the past 30 years? https://www.eia.gov/energyexpl...
