Should I be butthurt at Carmacks approach to AGI (10:58)? I feel like I know enough of the risks but not enough of what Carmack is attempting.

We've had limits placed on human genome experimentation, but it seems the ability for 'independently wealthy empowered actors' to descend to supercomputers in their basement and make the decision for us on AGI progress is beyond reproach.

Does Carmack go into depth anywhere about his area of focus?

Full disclosure: These videos are the extent of my AGI risk knowledge lol. https://www.youtube.com/c/RobertMilesAI/videos

I wish him all the best. 4channers are obsessive and wouldn't hesitate to ruin his life or doxx him years after he left. I recall how careful he had to be when we was admin, even having people doxx his mother, following him home from the subway etc. I think it reflects really well on his character how he managed to leave that stuff behind. Sometimes I wonder if there was some sort of government entity setting him up for a new life in return for handing over the keys.

He certainly has it in him for another startup, his name alone could still generate hype (or attacks) on anything he creates. YC should keep their ears peeled.

I hope one day he agrees to a lengthy in-depth interview or documentary.

You haven't provided any evidence that the statistical evidence is all based on false premises or that most of it is hearsay. You yourself credited the impartiality of a few articles you must've read. I understand that its unreasonable to ask you to go through all the evidence (despite your claim all the statistical evidence is based on false premises) but what you see is what half the country thinks of when they see the election results. There were serious documented issues around the 2020 election and the site collates evidence of that.

Think for a second back to 2016 and disturbing claims of Russian interference. That is what Republican voters feel like today. The shoe is on the other foot and now is your chance to steelman them or gloat and cover your eyes.

This NFT stuff honestly blows my mind. I can understand investing in tokens with far off use-cases like GRT, PNK or even memecoins like DOGE but the way NFTs are being 'utilised' today is just incomprehensible to me.

I think the article could've been improved by mentioning legitimate use-cases for NFTs.

I wonder why anabolic steroids are illicit substances in most developed countries. Is it due to 'roid rage' and other side effects? I thought development of SARMs were bypassing most of these issues.

That was in regards to following the diary step for step - Farmers plowing food back into the fields, enactment of minimum wage laws, booming house prices followed by a massive crash with nobody attending auctions, booming stock market with massive unemployment.

In addition to supposedly paying them minimum wage - the farmers employ a racket where they charge the poor souls exorbitant rates to stay on the farm as it is rural and there is no other accommodation thereby bringing the effective minimum wage down significantly.
