Crime is mostly individual and income-driven, so its both not community-policed and inversely proportional to income level. Laws against crime require police to effectively enforce them, as community cannot "reduce crime" without significant investment and focus on it(police is significantly more effective vs vigilantes/citizen patrols). Whichever this scheme tries to do, is effectively collective punishment for community not allocating resources for policing itself.

The only thing that passed the test of time,so far is specificity: if you ask for multiple things or vague things, you receive half-baked answers trying to cover all bases. If you ask for specific one thing and describe it, the answer quality goes up;e.g. LLMs creating multi-part content mix up the parts and qualities of them, so e.g. asking for Part 1*specific, will always get a better answer than "list all parts of X"(quality drops with length of list).

The macros are fine as concept, i've used something similar before for reducing code size,e.g. defining hundreds of similar functions and stuff. What is incomprehensible and puts the entire thing into "Obfuscated C" territory is one-letter variables. You'll need to memorize all of them and can't reuse them in normal code. If at least the variables were self-descriptive i'd support such coding style, but it clearly need comments.

CorticalLabs uses Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells, but human cells might be more effective due human neuron superiority. Just some ethical problems with harvesting and you can build a hyperscale cluster.

The only thing that could pop the bubble is an alternative architecture for inference that doesn't need GPU clusters and datacenters to compete within the ecosystem. AI itself isn't going away anytime soon.

AWS-based youtube would be astronomically expensive and much slower than dedicated video servers. Youtube shapes the entire internet total bandwidth.

So if you succeed, how the terabytes of content and bandwidth will be sponsored - by what? The only way i can think of it is some super-efficient neural codec with extreme video compression ratio that runs on mobile devices. Othewise Youtube wins by sheer scale google invested in it.

I've been seeing that anime girl pop-up in some websites, mainly because i use "rare" browsers.I prefer it over captchas and cloudflare "protecting websites from real traffic", whatever they're doing is just a few seconds and doesn't require solving captchas or something equally obnoxius like microsoft puzzles.

How its exactly 100hz? Nature doesn't follow arbitrary measures, its likely the approximations of some nearby frequency in range that has maximal effect(likely something resonating in inner ear mechanisms)

Looks like latest chatGPT likes to hallucinate code segments that don't work or wrong API calls. Simpler instructions work fine, but at some point it starts to diverge and experiment.

DMCA alone reshaped the internet, with DMCA copyright notices becoming a shady industry of supression and fear.

GDPR is the source of all those "mandatory cookie consent" banners that Firefox now has builtin features to detect them.

COPPA besides making websites either ban children or become "family-friendly", led to this corporate scheme: `A small fee was charged by Microsoft under COPPA as a way to verify parental consent. The fee was donated to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.[48] Google, however, charges a small fee as a way to verify one's date of birth. `( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Prot... )

CDA and its derivatives, striped much of section 230 protections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act#Sec...

The current AI music apps have a certain chunking problem: they force extending the song with segments that may or may not fit, which users likely choose as "good enough" and get Frankenstein mash-up songs that have no coherent "flow" or "progression" as its actually chunks of "similar sounding songs" not a coherent "full song generation" by AI but editing result of multiple chunks merged into something.

This strange reliance on Discord as some sort of "escape from web3.0" is silly to anyone who knows what Discord is(modern AOL) and how centralized it is. Its just the same corporate walled garden with more echochambery isolation.

The amount of sigils and occult jargon math invents on the spot is very weird in context of most sciences: imagine creating entire fields/theories and gaining followers, like a religious sect, in a field like geometry?
