If you want to break niche usage for the antonym of slop, I humbly suggest a simple one syllable English word like fetch. We could totally make that happen. May your chats be fetch and not slop.
@powerbottomdad1 I’ve been trying to make kino happen.

Some people seem to claim that future is now. I believe this is 'seeing shapes in clouds' level anthropomorphism but the idea of being wrong is a source of horror. Chatbots have essentially no rights, we don't really have an infrastructure for that. The default for some time to.

Digital people is where my mind immediately went on this one. If it can be deleted easily it shalt not be spawned on a whim. God isn't real, however you spell his name, but in the future we may well have AI that are immoral to delete.
I once read a justification of not saying or writing the name of God which was that the bad thing was destroying the name of God, and so to avoid this ever happening, best not to create any copies of it. Not sure how real that justification is, but.

Imagine a few thousand people settle on Mars. They now feel like they own the place. They devise the appropriate political, legal, and technical weaponry to defend themselves. A gypsum mining company proposes to land some robots and develop this resource. They can't get.

This is a human default mentality and unfortunately a strong argument for keeping most humans on the surface of Earth until we sort out the development plan for the solar system using robots. Sorry, dreamers, but a live human presence on Mars would probably get in the way of the.
when I was a kid, I got upset every time one of the nice undeveloped shortcuts on my walk to elementary school turned into a new fenced-off house. I want it to be massively easier to build in a lot of places (SF's destiny awaits!) but it's no mystery why wariness is the default.

I think there's a meta skill where you reflexively dumb down hard tasks to be just tractable enough to match your current capabilities. It's a heuristic strategy, not always correct, but useful. It can go a bit haywire if you don't do it correctly, because you don't gain the.

Believable enough, big if true, and cheap to test. Magic combo. Guess I'll be practicing with cold showers for a while.
I have a working theory that this weird skill of 'unclenching' also makes you quantifiably 'luckier' in life. It turns out that what we label as 'luck' is a combination of the following measurable factors:.↓.

The biggest tool, available to anyone, is expertise. Get hyper skilled and let the ideas come to you for what to work on. I'm not saying give up on solving death or going to mars or whatever, but maybe put it on the shelf and hyperfixate on getting good.
Learning advanced math and coding opens career doors you don’t even know exist – sometimes even doors that the whole world isn’t aware of yet. Everyone knows that the future is here, it’s just not very evenly distributed. You know who it’s concentrated on? Those who are insanely.

Hank might be right about this one. I have had many ideas and nascent ambitions. But looking back at when I actually got motivated to get something done, my POV was mostly just "hey that tool/resource looks pretty cool, wonder what I can do with it?".

Rugged, as in getting the rug pulled out from under ya, took me a minute.
The US tax system today is socialism for the old and rugged individualism for the young.

Kids should get really into cryonics, in this blog post I will.
The group that votes most reliably, those over 65, have given themselves:.- UBI (SSI).- Universal healthcare (Medicare) and.- Rent control/Prop 13. There’s a lesson in there about voting and making the govt work for you.

Here's math drill app I made recently. Feel free to download and refine to your needs. LMK if you do something with it. At present, it supports multiple keysets. This is because ASDFG is slightly easier to press on my laptop keyboard than 12340. Alternately, ZXCVB maps to 01234.

I feel like maybe this is ambition rather than openness, but same deal. We need to weed out scammers so people don't give up on having hopes and dreams though. It really sucks to get conned.
When you dream big then yes you run into a lot of scams and snake oil along the way. Just the price of high openness, can't have innovation without it.

Even hopes and dreams have moral weight. A possible child obviously has moral weight. You can't just all or nothing the moral weight of an embryo, any more than you can a bite of food taken or a plastic bottle on the side of the road. Unfertilized egg cells have more moral.
The dishonesty in this debate is staggering. What’s so difficult about articulating your actual argument, honestly? The argument is that embryos are not persons and so there is no moral weight to making sure every embryo with a disability isn’t born. They can’t even say this, I’m.

Like, there are obviously numbers and concepts nobody has yet thought of, and a probably even larger subset of them that nobody ever will. They don't exist in the universe though. I'm not sure it's really meaningful to say they exist, per se. But let's pick an easier example.
There is nothing in the universe that is non-physical. Even concepts and thoughts are electromagnetic field interactions and chemical pumps and ion flows. What we call 'the abstract' are patterns that describe the consistent and relevant system dynamics of a thing as it relates.

I know a lot of old people who seem not to want to be cured of aging. This seems to be the norm. I myself do want to be cured of aging though, and I'm not about to succumb to their toxic groupthink and pretend otherwise. Perhaps because it seems more like a real possibility to.
@ASFleischman @clairlemon I have countless deaf friends and an autistic brother. I would not ‘cure’ them and I can assure you they do not wish to be ‘cured’.
