If each of the following 70 counterexamples to an Old Earth were to have merely a 10% chance of being valid, then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is less than one-tenth of 1%. In other words, the Earth must be young with a likelihood of more than 99.9%

Flawless logic

I hoped they would’ve kept Hollywood but I guess it frees up cap space 🤷‍♂️

From Wikipedia:

Due to his adherence to an approach to politics called Realpolitik, which prioritizes pragmatic geopolitical considerations over moral or ideological values, Kissinger has been criticized for turning a blind eye to war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[6]

A number of activists and human rights lawyers have sought to prosecute him for war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[8][150] Kissinger has been associated with such controversial policies as the U.S. bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War despite a genocide being perpetrated.[255]

I mean you’re objectively correct, but those states don’t seem like they’re gonna stop capital punishment anytime soon. If current death row inmates ask to be executed by nitrogen, I don’t think there is any harm in trying.

I hope you’re right, but vr worlds still seem far off to me. I can see it working if either synthetic data is better than expected, or they have the funding to create the training data manually.

To my knowledge, there arnt large free repositories of vr worlds like there are for text and images, so I expect progress to be a lot slower. Still cool tech none the less, I wouldn’t have thought it ti be possible before reading this article.
