Currently, one satellite is destroyed every year from space junk.

If you are behind in a space race, you are incentivized to encourage the Kessler Syndrome, because if no one can use space, the disadvantage is gone.

For me, the point is to find sources. If there's a [citation needed], then it has to be treated as unknown.

This is the same as Wikipedia. It's helpful because the internet has gotten less and less searchable, as spam has crept into Google and other search engines.

Taxi salaries dropped 10% on average when Uber came. The medallion system was a bad system.

That's a stupid take, everyone is using a lot of eyes to find bugs these days. Your software crashes, it sends a bug report back.

Downloading a library off Geocities wasn't exactly recommended, either.

Once you start doing proper audits, it quickly becomes easier to just write the code yourself for most things.

There's the Blue Brain project, which made an attempt to simulate a mouse brain. It didn't really do anything, though.

They will likely need to have some understanding before getting it to do anything practical.

The AI that cleans up your audio isn't an LLM. The bubble is about LLMs.

A) We can't stop ourselves from building it. If it can be done, it will happen.

B) It doesn't matter anyway, because no one has a clue how to build real AI. It's all science fiction until better algorithms come along.

While true that people want to get rich, and some at the expense of all else, being able to produce proteins on demand will provide huge benefits for humanity. It also would mean we can stop bleeding horseshoe crabs.

What does it mean for a protein to be 3 generations into the future?

You are way too ignorant for your judgement to be meaningful. Listen to actual scientists (or get your skill up).

To be particular, Coq (now Rcoq) is a language that doesn't have a halting problem. Every program written in the language terminates.

There's a difference between a "hazardous protein" and a "protein that doesn't cause damage until three generations into the future." They aren't trying to stop the second category.

We're definitely going to have people on Mars before we have datacenters in orbit. Why? For Mars, you don't care about cost. For datacenters, that's all you care about.

They've sold over 2 million units of their glasses, so there's a good chance you've seen them already without realizing it. I've seen a few of them in the wild and if you're not looking closely for the camera, it's not obvious. I know one student who used them during an interview test to cheat by reading a script.
