They don't even use more methodological evaluations of fine-tuned LLMs, they use metrics that are specifically built to support a (false) contrarian conclusion in order to generate attention for their "paper."

That's interesting, but there's actually this other philosopher who published a very similar idea sometime around ~1921? I can't remember his reasoning(something about the world being a collection of facts) but I've heard that his thesis actually entirely rejected continental philosophy on similar claims to your own and singlehandedly began the shift towards the analytic philosophy that you seem to be so partial to. I think his name sounded similar to Wittingstein?

Yes, well documented in psychology, a field whose professionals even acknowledge as a psuedoscience, if a useful one.

Particularly stable people will sit around the median boundary.

Ok, so you're saying it is more than just a boolean then?

I mean I doubt anything in that article would come as a huge surprise to a nascent or prospective entrepreneur? It seems like most of article's point is just an anecdotally obfuscated version of, "Entrepreneurship takes time, effort, and has no gauruntees of success." A fairly obvious message I doubt anyone who has seriously considered starting a business hasn't realized.

This might be a bit pedantic but it seems that this article is arguing against business as a technique for ensuring increased efficiency, it isn't arguing against efficiency itself. This post's whole ethos is that slack creates higher efficiency due to an increased reaction time from workers.

The death of writing is a bullet-list of major points, put some effort in, maybe you'll become more interested in hockey after reading the article.

I've been programming games in Roblox for a while now and honestly once you get used to LUA the things that once appeared to be "horrors" are now just quirks that I've honestly gotten used to.

Absolutely, there are plenty of things to do other than consume and there are definetly people who would discover that they had a talent at writing poetry, but doing those things require effort that a significant minority would not be ready or willing to make, and consummation is incredibly appealing to those who aren't strong enough to put effort into anything else.

I agree that we all have so much stuff that we don't need, but in such an incredibly consumerist society we can't really seperate what we want from what we need without a massive cultural revolution. On top of that our current capitalist society only works because people buy lots of things that they don't need.

There are absolutely people who would contribute to society in other ways but there are also people who would not work, not contribute and, sit in their rooms all day not having the will to do anything but debate with strangers on internet forums(lol). In my opinion the problem with UBI is that it would take away the necessity for people to do something to survive and it would make a significant minority of the population miserable because they wouldn't have to do anything but consume.
