Government and bureaucracy is the duct tape and glue we made to hold society together but actual societal change is a more natural force that is completely separate from government.

Aren’t all consoles?

Some people like that trump is a freak, they excuse the most heinous shit for the people that think he’s a freak, but he’s a necessary evil to take down the deep state or necessary to fulfil biblical prophecy, who in turn provide excuses for those who think he’s kind of bad but will help the economy who in turn provide excuses for the “centrists” who didn’t vote for him but think the accusations are blown out of proportion.

Its funny, we dont fund all these things because they’re “good enough” to work. And the reason we’re dumping lumps into AI is because it doesn’t even do “good enough” right now but there’s a lot of people that expected it to already.

Sorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.

It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)

There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.

This is definitely big city language. 11$ is an expensive sandwich.

Olive Garden is a restaurant chain. It would be like spending all day on the Arby’s or McDonald’s app with an added layer of Olive Garden being a bit obscure.

Take flasks.

What? Yeah? Some doors open in some ways other doors open in others?

I think people don’t realize how many doors are automatically open for them if they’re polite and hard working. Lots of interactions go way smoother if your end is always covered and the person you’re talking to wants to help you because you’re being nice.

Compare this to someone who is lazy and impolite. I think polite people would be genuinely surprised at how shit the day-to-day life of someone impolite is. Of course we’ll never hear it from the impolite because a defining characteristic is that they’re self-centered and ignorant.

The key is asking for it. Someone lazy and impolite who asks/demands that things go their way will get a lot of validation (externally at least)

But if you’re polite and hardworking and ask to get your way (which is not necessarily impolite, no matter what the perpetually anxious try to tell you), you actually have even more opportunities laid out for you.

China is capitalist and authoritarian. Their investment in their people is done with the goal of neo-colonialism as they use their wealth and influence to indebt growing nations to China. They invest in their people, but only enough to stave off mass protests. We see a lot of wealth come out of China, but remember that we could witness China uplift an equivalent amount of people to the entire population of the U.S. and they would still be oppressing a larger percentage of their population.

It looks like it’s working in contrast to the U.S. right now because we are currently crashing out as a nation, rewarding cash-grabbing opportunists even more than we have for all of U.S. history. Idk, there is a chance we fully burn up in this shit show going on right now and that would de-facto make China’s system technically better, but I think that’s the only way. I mean the atrocities China has committed against its own people and people around the world in recent decades is ridiculous. I know you weren’t going to bat for China don’t worry.

Days with meaningful consequences for his actions: 0

Only some of its entitlement. The man is clearly either extremely traumatized and depressed or showing signs of more serious mental issues like schizophrenia.

As we have seen time and time again. In our world money acts as a very good mask for mental issues, but he would be having the same issues if he didn’t luck into streaming, he would just be in a much much worse situation.

Or possibly he would have gotten help if he had had to rely on family and friends who might have convinced him to seek help sooner.

Laguette de la botte is definitely a dish I would try at a French restaurant

Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.

Invest in tungsten

Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?

At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Very sadly I think the answer is essentially yes. They think their wealth is a sign of their inherent superiority over people that will be around after the government collapses. They think that they’ll be able to just turn the lights off and turn on the fascist regime that has them at the seat of power because they don’t understand or simply don’t believe in the complex scaffolding that keeps our current society up.

I think the point is it doesn’t prevent wide spread use. If a plant resists cultivation then it’s not worth it to try to farm, either industrially or in your back yard. Especially if you’re trying to farm for sustenance.

Yeah, you can’t just lay down electricity, especially not practical electricity it requires a ton of diverse knowledge from many different studies. What I would do is give them the concept of using steam to power to spin wheels or create an engine. Then use gear ratios to show them how to scale it up. Idk if they had found neodymium magnets back then, but teach them how to use them to heat iron by spinning them on the end of a steam engine and you’re starting to cook with electricity.

Again, getting to electricity from there is still a whole fucking chore. But hopefully you could rely on science to advance way faster from your advances than if you weren’t there.

Actually, the most important thing you could give the greeks is the concept of the modern scientific method. That shit was invented so late and just skyrocketed science (literally) the moment it was refined.

Just write a book about everything you remember about a null hypothesis, randomized blind trials, control experiments, variable control etc. if you can squeeze any bit of statistics out of your brain, even if it’s just making a graph, you probably advance the world by thousands of years.
