the capital to fund their own, even safer labs.

I wonder, is this a theory of "safety" analogous to what's driven the increased gigantism of vehicles in the US? Sure seems like it.

Just another reminder of how the EA movement is full of right wing thinking and how most of it hasn’t considered even the most basic of leftist thought.

I continue to maintain that EA boils down to high-dollar consumerism focused on intangible goods. I'm sure that statement won't fly on LW or any other EA forum, but my thoughts on psychiatry don't fly at a Scientologist convention either.

E: If they all hate programming so much, perhaps a change of job is in question, sure might not pay as much, but it might make them happier.

Surely at least a few of them have worked up enough seed capital to try their hand at used-car dealerships. I can attest that the juicier markets just outside the Bay Area are fairly saturated, but maybe they could push into lesser-served locales like Lost Hills or Weaverville.

a new school of philosophy called “CosmoErotic Humanism.”

I don't know about all of that, but I do know that every major TV market in the country offers multiple chances per night for this poor fellow to re-devote himself to the poetry-in-motion of a certain other erotic Cosmo.

From another perspective, royalty gossip is the progenitor, and now the semi-vestigial rump, of the modern celebrity gossip industry

He might have revised it in more recent publications and/or brainfarts. If I were a Responsible Internet Debater™, I would go check, but the whole point is that i could give a fuck

Cool! I keep on saying that there will be at least one more AI bubble before 2045, because IIRC that's the latest date for a singularity that Kurzweil gives, and this dude comes along with a date that's conveniently ~halfway between now and then for people to anchor on. Thanks dude! If I find an online sod retailer that sells single square feet, I'll send you some grass to touch!
