Yeah, it is a very nice way of saying “f off” if you’re poor, whatever with your display (low res mobile) or eyesight.

Yes. How dod you come up with that math?

You seem to fail to grasp that just because people answer the call to duty it does not mean the duty is aligned with their self interest. The most stark example is joining armed forces.

Obviously you didn’t read the linked research otherwise you wouldn’t entertain a red herring like foreign policy.

But it appears that you think Slavery and all sort of exploitation and gun-powder diplomacy has been a choice for reasons other than self-interest which makes any rational discourse unlikely, so best of luck to you.

“Maritime Republics” that issued letters of marque for privateers to attack and pillage enemy trade ships?

Talk about nonsense.

How do you come up with this math?

The benefits of co-operation mean the real trade-off is 1 million split five ways versus 100 to me.

Exploitation always provides better ROI than co-operation. Not only is this demonstrated throughout human history but holds true to this day. Go ahead and show me a more profitable industry than diamonds or anything that runs on exploitation even to this day.

This is a true Scotsman’s fallacy. “Legitimacy” of self-interest is fluid and subjective.

Which means self-interest and collective interests are often at tension rather than alignment.

That is a lot of bold assertions without substance.

Good question. But data shows that elections maybe entirely unrelated to policy making.

The self-interest for the bureaucrat and representative is supposed to end at their remuneration including their handsome retirement options not shady side hustles and market manipulation at the cost of the collective.

In matters of collective concern fair and just rarely aligns with personal self-interest. Because no matter how good the outcome of any endeavour for the collective given a budget, it will be even better for select few than the entire collective. It is simple economics.

If you look at the outcome of highly corrupt states, you will see proliferation of Private Security, Collapsed education system, failed financial services and markets, not highly efficient systems in service of “self-interest of the administration”.

If you look at energy consumption per capita and adjust for global production, you will see that the Chinese are almost at the very top.

It is of course given that in raw numbers the kitchen and biller-room will consume more energy in the household, but looking at raw numbers is shallow.

It almost always does, the few exceptions prove the role. Self-service is the antithesis of accountability to collective trust.

Obviously shitting your pants in public shows you have a healthy digestive system and if you can demonstrate byproducts of wild food in your output, you’re approaching independent thinking and self-reliance.

This is how the financiers look at this and whatever you think it is right or wrong, it does showcase “capability”.

When AI frontier labs fire all their engineers.

AGI*

You can't unilaterally say all AI blogs are low quality. That's bullshit.

Quality is a bit nuanced but that quality of AI generated content is subpar to expert output is fairly established.

The implications of this ever becoming false amounts to GAI.

This seems to be tbe authors modus operandi. Steal.

So kind of like USA but different?

Vibes. It is in the vibes.

This is Whataboutism. Maybe the wolf has good reasons for leaving the stockyards gates open, it is a different perspective, yeah, but for the stock it is pretty clear good vs death.

Now of course, no one is going to “directly” dir from these laws but so much meaning that comes with freedom will be lost, but maybe the wolfs see it under a different light.

The only person confused here is you. It is best you don’t take these topics personally and try to understand it from an objective point of view rather personal dogma.

What the heck this has to do with Islam?

Is Usury some kind of religious values for you?

Cloud has a specific meaning, it doesn’t mean anything computer.

Very strong assertions and true, to the extent that we accept Usury as acceptable.

While we are here, please also consider that Protection Rackets also provides similar benefits!

AI written article. I hate how I can quickly pick this up these days and I hate how I see it everywhere recently.

If you don’t have time to write, I don’t have time to read it.

“a stranger is asking you to risk $100k on his half-baked plan” is more less what YC is. And no debt involved.

You can correct yourself from there.

No, because if the company loses money you lose too.

With Usury/Debt you pay for lending money and you pay whatever the enterprise makes money or not.

They still have no klue.
