Hot take, I think it is the other way around. A lack of critical thinking skills, self-awareness, and chat bot's default helpful/compliance with no motivation or underlying values to motivate or lead the user unless specifically requested (see critical thinking and self-awareness), you have the intersection of "garbage in, garbage out" and "ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer". AI doesn't judge, which is a mixed bag.

Absurd. It is far more clear that the current incarnation of copyright law is garbage in outrageous violation of Article 1 Section 8 that claims to authorise it. Disney, specifically Jack Valente, spent his life pushing a wildly perverse interpretation of property rights that he was able to say loud enough and repeat often enough people actually believe it uncritically. The law hindering AI technology is just the next iteration of the law harming progress.

Google went to crap not entirely because it looks worse compared to modern competition, but by suicide when they put the chief of advertising in charge of the search engine. Google is garbage compared to every previous incarnation of Google. Product quality has also gone down while not improving. I'd switch to OpenAI for email if they offer it.

He is probably talking about the evidence that rises in CO2 follows temperature rises rather than precede it. Solubility of CO2 in water / ocean is highly sensitive to temperature changes (and Ph), and the oceans are a major CO2 sink. What you are referencing is the overwhelming evidence of correlation, and proof it is a greenhouse gas, but that doesn't mean there are not lingering variables in a complex system such as a climate. Also, to the causation implied by the article, there could be no changes in the climate, and exposure is still a serious issue. A war causing a refugee crisis would dramatically increase the risk of exposure deaths without changes to the climate. And if that were the case, might you understand some people being upset that someones house gets blown up, then they die on the streets, and people decry climate change without addressing the bombing of the house?

My speculation is that those that understand what a profound fraud Paul Krugmann is easily predicted this outcome. Technology raises the marginal utility of labor and makes previously inaccessible jobs due to scarcity, viable. "Creating work" or maintaining it for its own sake is perverse given the disutility of labor. I get the "nonsense" of "destroying jobs creates jobs" logic, but this isn't physics.
