We already fixed overpopulation. Birthrate is at 1.7 and falling, 2.1 is replacement.

Turns out "1st world lifestyle" is plenty effective birth control. As the world becomes more prosperous, birthrates fall.

It is very different in the bar. There you can have a debate, question and clarify. With a podcast, you cannot.

anthropo...genic? I'm not sure what anthropomorphic climate change would be like.

Do you have any way to suss out correlation versus causation on that?

They're apparently active recalcitrant nuns. Odds are at least one lives to 100.

Life expectancy for an 85 year old woman is 7-8 years.

Given 3 of them, I'd bet at least one lasts a decade.

While drunk driving happens in Dubai, as a Muslim nation they have exactly zero humor about it.
I figure the rate of bad driving from other things like just being an absurdly entitled citizen or part of the royalty is more common.

I've actually been in Dubai, deployed there once. Visited the city a few times. It's "interesting".

Europeans will absolutely get what they deserve here.

I think it's safe to say that the European style of democracy, where for some reason every single decision is closely scrutinized and can be vetoed by just about anyone, and every industry is regulated to the point were any change is essentially impossible, and new industries are killed before they can even get off the ground, has turned out to be a bad idea, and the US should immediately turn away from these kinds of policies before we follow suit and become irrelevant.

They could make a note of mileage leaving and re-entering the UK.
Penalty for misplacing the documents would be paying for all the miles.
Or keep it in a database for tax purposes.

Lots of "cute" answers I see. More seriously, the FAA is involved because it involved a flying thing. FAA regulations are designed for flying stuff, and wants a high level of safety.

If a self-driving Fedex truck did what you described, the DOT would likely become involved.

It's probably overkill in most people's homes. However, it may be more valuable in a commercial setting, such as a convention center or hospital. Cutting down on the crud even by a small fraction could be worth quite a bit.

SEO killed search. If anything, AI has made it slightly useful again.

If you’ve ever tried to argue with an LLM, it quickly becomes obvious that they don’t even really know what words mean, and this article explains why. They don’t actually have any real life experiences to relate to those words. They’re not trying to understand the world, they aren’t even really exposed to the real world as a source of data, all they’re really trying to accomplish is arranging words into patterns that humans will find authentic and convincing. That’s the main thing these models are optimizing.

Yes, but we’re not counting on them to become super intelligent and solve all the worlds problems.

I've used them, I am well aware of what they are actually capable of, which is mostly expanding a small piece of text into a large one without adding anything of value. In most cases, it sounds like a highschool student trying to BS their way to meet a necessary word count without really engaging with the material. Trying to call it "superhuman" is actually hilarious.
