Say what you will, he doesn't have to do what he does, and it's shitty to attack someone. I don't think Elons plans will work out in the long run, but it's a whole lot better that he be looking to create a fantastic world than to sit around doing nothing with his money and efforts. He could just be making bank off paypay for the rest of his life, but he chose to do something better. That's commendable, and to call this guy a villain or accuse him of hating the poor is a shitty thing to do. That said, I'm all for criticizing his treatment of workers, the supposed ignoring of safety in factories, and the likes. This comic and tone just goes way too damn far and exaggerates the bad while ignoring the good.
He will not.
I did not add any tags. I absolutely would never use a word like "misandry".
The answer is to shame them more.
Darn
I do not support dry counties or even the stupid laws that ban alcohol early sunday morning. I support their right to have a ban like that on a very local level, though, even if I would prefer that no county has a ban such as that. I also recall you saying something akin to that small change gun control is a step on the path to very wide and broad gun control, so I really can't see you as a strong supported of limited gun control. In another few years, you'd be preaching for a ban if you got your way.You also think alcohol is a right which just... ya. You know your country still have dry counties right ?
Yeah, cost her. It's a tragedy and I'll feel bad about it to see people hurt by stupid decisions. However, if I were to buy a gun I'd lock it up in a safe, possibly with finger-print access and in my bedroom, and be sure to keep it from children. That's a price of giving power to people. Some people are idiots. Some people make stupid mistakes. Some people do stupid things. We should seek to protect them and help them, not dismiss them as stupid, but we shouldn't seek to protect them from their own stupidity. Arrogant idiots exist, but honest kind and intelligent people far outnumber them in both number and outcome. It's why liberal and free society is better than ones that attempt to restrict human nature and power. Human nature and power is good, not bad. Perhaps this would be a good ground, as well as cars, from which to speak of gun control? Imagine if those who abused guns or were in stupid situations were treated as those who abused their rights to alcohol? Place gun control on those individuals after they act stupidly. But none of the drives to fix them that we do. Our mentally ill will shoot us dead. Our race riots can turn into race wars. We are not without teeth, and that's a great thing.A little humbleness or humility would have likely caused that woman to think twice about leaving a handgun out that morning because she would have understood that if something could go wrong she would have a dead child. Evidently her arrogance cost her.
It's the same bulllshit arrogant mentality that makes people believe they are just good at driving drunk and that they are above the law.
Other countries have mental health problems, underfunded social programs, poor people, drug addicts without the ridiculous gun violence problems yours has.
I don't honestly believe that reasonable restrictions on gun control will create a slow cultural trend towards banning guns as a whole. Respect for the danger of a weapon does not lead to a slippery slope towards the ban of it. I think it's a great idea to, at the very least, mandate that all guns are stored in gun safes (or at least you have to own one to own the other), or for guns to be taxed with enough money to account for possible damage they can do and security measures their existence creates, and so on.
A tool makes the wielders powerful. We should have faith in the fact that giving power to people results in good. It will result in bad, as well, but the belief that more good will come than bad is the foundation for modern society as it is today. I don't believe that good guys will beat out the bad guys or that more guns will solve school shootings. Instead I believe that these shootings are signs that things are bad, and need to be fixed. Ranging from a need for stronger mental health, to a need for news coverage and discourse on topics like this chasing attention rather than seeking to improve our society as a whole. I believe in a society that values the power of the individual more than it does safety. Generally you do not want to trust anyone who tries or wants to teach you a lesson in humility.If you want to have a culture of guns you seriously need to work on a culture of intelligence and humility first.
In other words, we are 100% in the right to oppose any gun restriction for any reason, as it will begin a slow cultural trend towards the removal of our rights., and slippery slope yadda yadda. But those arguments miss the point. It's not about an immediate decrease in numbers, it's about a slow cultural shift away from the glorification of guns
I hate the fancy scrolling of the article. Text on a page works, leave it alone.
Opinion should count more than race. Diversity serves purpose, and opinion-based-diversity will get a lot more done than race-based diversity.
Could, but it wont.
This is hubski, not reddit. Here at the scale of hubski1 post a day on the same topic for multiple days in a row is quite a large amount.I posted 1 today. I posted 1 yesterday. I think 2 the day before.
People ignore this because you have posted a hundred thousand links of this sort in recent history. You may be interested in pendulum theory in regards to sales.
I like this response to nazis. I'm not a fan of the way it's been going, but laughing your asses off at them is fine by me.
It feels like the show is sniffing it's own fantheory recently, but also wants to distance itself at the same time, from the same said fantheory.
Down with Man!
Mr. Hyperloop doesn't know shit, and there are a vast number of AI researchers, most of which do not agree with you, to my knowledge.a lot of true AI experts like Stuart Russell (professor of AI at Cal, my old school) agree with me. Elon Musk agrees with me
The tools don't matter, you need to know linear algebra, probability and statistics, and general broad level AI concepts.
We have two choices with how to deal with people in society. Constructively, or destructively. The latter is never the better option.
Well this is going to make for a fun week.
There's this wonderful quality we all have, that you are pretending to lack. Common sense. Use it. A bunch of petty exceptions say nothing about the point I was making.
Don't talk about people unless you are talking to that person. To do otherwise does absolutely nothing constructive. It makes people feel outed and ganged up on, and can do wonders for cementing your own views on people, either based on the efforts of others to make you feel that way about them or based on your own baises.
Conversations about people are shit conversations. This thread confirms it, more than anything else. Stop voicing dislike, ganging up, and taking sides. If you have something to say about someone, say it to their face, or don't say it at all.
I feel like you are posting way, way, way, too much about this topic.

If you'd like to argue with authority, here's a deep mind researcher talking about the question, saying much the same as what I have on AI needing data. It's about ten minutes in.
We have trouble training AI that can well identify cats from washing machines. The resources we devote to learning even simple tasks are just absolutely huge. The human brain has thousands of them, all going at once, in real time, on less energy than a lightbulb. That is, at least, decades away from where we are today. And that's being really optimistic. You are very confident in something that has yet to happen. Very often, in matters like these, the ideals of the layman in regards to what is possible simply do not result in practicality. "Light speed" may sound cool, just like jetpacks and solar roadways and flying cars, but I'm almost certain that when you get down to the tooth and nail the humble little chemical signal in the neuron is one of the best ways you can go about making the "arbitrary function models" that we call AI today. Our brain size is constrained, in part, by resources.It is not enough to be smart, but to be smart and powerful. To be smart and observant. Any AI will likely have to have a ratio of "thinking to acting" parts that we do, if it want's to have similar success, or will have to depend on human society to be its body, of sorts. Remember that the number one constraint on learning is data, not intelligence or thought power. We, society and our minds, are optimized not to think as much as possible, but to collect and filter as much data as possible. Discoveries are made by accident, or with a sudden realization, not because we sat and put endless brainpower into the topic. Not most of the time, anyways. There's this assumption at the core of the singularity AI, and that is that you can practically produce knowledge from within a vacuum. I don't see that as being very likely. Exponential growth is easy to see, if you cannot also see the things which serve limit that growth. Life itself should be theoretically capable of growing forever, at exponential rates. If I were an alien, not understanding the nature of overpopulation, I'd fear just that result from humanity. War is not productive. Any AI, or theoretical all powerful being, would see that the benefits of a mass sterilization program, or simply making it not feasible or economically sensible to have kids, while easy to avoid having them, would be a far better way to exterminate our little species. Hell, the being of human creation that came to control us (society) is already doing just that to control populations after we have exited an era that having more and more humans is a productive action. Legalize abortion, stop demonizing gay people, encourage birth control, more education, more choice to have kids, more expensive to have kids, more women working, etc. We've already set the standard to our own demise, no AI needed, all the AI has to do is tweak the numbers. Note, all the things above are awesome and great and lead to a better society, they aren't bad and shouldn't be opposed. it's very significantly different, and astronomically better soon, than the human brain.
It will be executed from deep knowledge of the human brain derived by human beings, but soon with significantly differences too, including very simple performance improvements like light speed which will make it unbelievably better than poor biological human, with our cranium size and our biologically slow performance speed mucking it up.
But the AI is going to win the horrific war and it's not even close -- and I think it's very possible in our lifetime.
