According to the CDC, from 2019 to 2020, the suicide rate declined overall by 3%.

Why do you think suicides went down while homicides went up so drastically?

What’s this ? Earnings for ants ?

sure, bud.

meanwhile, in the real world, the far right's hatred of women takes away their human rights.

I'm not concerned with AGI being unaligned with human's. Quite the opposite really. I'm worried that our instructions to an AI will not be aligned with our desired outcomes.

It will most likely be a government that finally crosses the threshold into self improving AI. Any corporation that gets close will be semi-nationalised such their controls become replaced with the government that helped fund it.

I'm worried about humans telling the AI to do something horrifying, not that AI will do it of it's own volition.

This isn't sci-fi and it certainly isn't computer programming either.

The only useful way to discuss this possible entity is simply as a super intelligent being, predicting it's behaviour is near impossible and the implications of this are more philosophical in nature than scientific.

Death ends your civil liberties. Causing another’s death while driving, well, just be careful and avoid that. There are 5 killed every hour of the day in the USA. No other transit system kills so many, so what’s the issue with a bit of government intervention?

Very dumb. Very short sighted. Very stupid.

I don't think they're living productive and fulfilling lives RIGHT NOW, let alone thousands of years from now. And there's no way to gauge who "should" live forever...it will go to whomever has the most money. And that metric isn't working so great in our current society.

"I eat my asshole!"

You’re a literal idiot 😂

I don't work 40 hours per week.

I don’t understand what you’re asking. Pay cadence doesn’t matter unless you’re living paycheck to paycheck

It sounds like he knew you were upset and had an interview today so he wanted to let you sleep…..

How does that compare to fruits and vegetables, though?

I guess you're saying you aren't a fan of the usual recommendations of Ally HYSA and no-penalty CDs. Are you going to say why these are "extremely dangerous"?
