Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.

Hi

They’re happy most of the time.

I mean I’ve seen some weird workarounds when stuff isn’t loading in when they’re supposed to…

But yeah this is probably not that.

It’s an interesting point that would be nice to see addressed more in anti-superhero fiction, like The Boys. They addressed this problem to some extent with the Rorschach depiction in the Watchmen TV series.

Feels like Rick and Morty has had the same issue with people idolizing Rick. They have addressed it to some degree by showing how Rick’s bad qualities also make him miserable etc.

Only the super rich disagree with you.

An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don’t care about climate change will have children.

Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I’m not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.

That is hardly an unpopular opinion.

Monitor replacement glasses, like NReal Air, that actually are a good enough replacement for my second screen to allow a full day of work.

Are there any good podcasts that try to connect the dots regarding the American and French revolutions and related events?

Yup. Accurately guessing the next thought (or action) is all brains need to do so I don’t see what the alleged “magic” is supposed to solve.

The Chinese room thought experiment doesn’t prove anything and probably confuses the discussion more than it clarifies.

In order for the Chinese room to convince an outside observer of knowing Chinese like a person the room as a whole basically needs to be sentient and understand Chinese. The person in the room doesn’t need to understand Chinese. “The room” understands Chinese.

The confounding part is the book, pen and paper. It suggests that the room is “dumb”. But to behave like a person the person-not-knowing-Chinese plus book and paper needs to be able to memorize and reason about very complex concepts. You can do that with pen and paper and not-understanding-Chinese person it just takes an awful amount of time and complex set of continuously changing rules in said book.

Edit:

If you’re already knee deep in existing code and looking for bugs or need to write quite specific algorithms it seems not very useful. But if you for some reason need to write stuff that has the slightest feeling of boilerplate, like how do I interact with well established framework or service X while doing A, B C it can be really useful.

You shouldn’t use code that you don’t understand. Chatgpt outputs quite readable and understandable code and makes sure to explain a lot of it and you can ask questions about it.

It can save quite a lot of effort, especially for tasks that are more tedious than hard. Even more if you have a general idea of what you want to do but you’re not familiar with the specific tools and libraries that you want to use for the task.
