You can but you can:

• A, Use an excessive amount of computing power to run an LLM agent to do it
• B, Spend 5 minutes on youtube
• C, The dev could just program in the option to skip

Based on those ‘how it was invented’ shows, innovations has historically been tied to random passionate people in sheds who then get exploited or even straight up robbed by big industry.

Tokens are now costing more than human workers…

Also at any time anyone can just step into the movie and stab the buttler themselves to win the pot.

The populations of Ireland and Scotland still haven’t recovered from what happened to them.

Me watching every single piece of social media regurgitate right wing talking points for the last decade.
No shit.

Close enough, lets form a secret organization around planting edible anual-crops/bushes/trees on disused public land so anyone can harvest them.

iirc this a new not-war so gets is own deadline.

That depends, are you open to making rich people into soap?

So… fundementally human originating content?

I assume you consume exclusively AI generated content since its so great.

Nah we won’t get that far, turns out re-entering satellites deplete ozone pretty significantly but on a 30y delay. SpaceX and Amazon are gonna keep launching their mega-constellations on the grounds of ‘Nothing bad has happened yet so you can’t prove it will’ and by the time it kicks in it’ll be too late.

Or even a local level, at this late stage its all about lobbying for ever increasing tax breaks and subsidies.

I’ve been getting this bleak feeling that the reason most successful hucksters seem to be dumb as rocks is because they are, and so are a huge number of people who fall for their shit. You, me, or anyone who can read words with more than 5 letters wouldn’t even try the shit they do because we wrongly assume that no one would be stupid enough to fall for it. But they’re idiots, confident idiots who think its a great idea and then succeed because there are way more dumb people out there than is comfortable to think about.

Alternatively we’re just data (as muteable as a save file) so neither of them died at any point as Tuvix was a valid continuation of both their continuities, similary when Tuvix was split again Tuvok and Nelix also constituted valid continuations of Tuvix’s continuity.

Nono, someone else will pay someone elser to not cut down a tree that already exists. Then a few weeks later that someone elser will ‘decide’ to cut down that tree after all so someone else can pay them to not cut down the same tree again. On paper this counts as 2 whole trees being magically generated.

AFAIK the ceasefire ever existing was a myth? Trump just kinda declared it without anyone else agreeing and then everyone kept shooting anyway, Trump included.

Within a complex enough system the difference becomes functionally meaningless anyway, We could re-configure all matter (except you) in the universe into one giga computer and it would still struggle to accurately predict your behaviour beyond a few minutes because the physical system of your brain is just that chaotic. So wether we’re concious or not, or have free will or not ultimately makes no difference.

But sentience itself is a rather hazy definition, while it works from a perspective of minimizing suffering there are still potential concerns with the concept of just deciding some types of life are worth more than others.
