  1.  @richardleonori9345  You've got to be kidding. Did you see Sam's last Triggernometry episode?

  2.  @skreeeboy  Did you see Sam's last appearance on Triggernometry? He beclowned himself completely. The kindest thing Douglas (or anyone) could do, out of respect for any past goodwill, is to ignore Sam entirely at this point.

  3.  @skreeeboy  It's not a matter of agreement or disagreement, is a matter of, "can I trust his judgement" -- and the answer in Sam's case seems to be "no". At this point in history, there are so many people to listen to, you have to be selective with your time.

  4. Is there such thing as "defensive AI"? Can some AI be designed to counteract the baleful effects of other AI?

  5.  @andreinarangel6227  Dude, the first Cold War is over. The thesis of capitalism and antithesis of communism formed a new synthesis, the market-oriented welfare state. Basically the entire world functions as part of that spectrum; no major country (and almost no minor countries) represent the old extremes. The old left/right dynamic is dead; calling anyone a communist is like calling someone a monarchist. It's a quaint atavism, that no one takes seriously anymore. As Fukuyama pointed out, liberty-minded democracy won the day. BUT, as any good student of the dialectic would tell you, this just opens the way for another antithesis -- in this case the Authoritarian Bureaucracy, or the "Mandarinate". Rule by credentialed experts. Guess what? They occupy the high ground of government, academia, and business -- but that high ground is being eroded away by populists dedicated to liberty and democracy. We're in for another Cold War, folks.

  6. Can AI produce Beethoven's 10th symphony?

  7. "We're going to ban cricket because people get injured" Not because it's boring?

  8. "AI is purely parasitic, it can only work off of what is already there" Can it hold a mirror up to nature?

  9. The ambitious, the fearful, the college student saying, "Hey, I wonder what this can do..."

  10. The whole Endless Acronym will finally be over when guys who are cheating on their wives discover they can get social privileges by categorizing themselves as "closeted polyamorous".

  11. "Put a pause on AI" -- I don't think most people quite understand. AI is not like the Manhattan Project. You don't need to redirect the entire power generating capacity of the Tennessee Valley Authority, to purify uranium. AI can literally still be done by a computer science student, alone in his dorm room. The barrier to entry just isn't that high.

  12.  @grannyannie2948  To be fair, you can take household chemicals and make them very, very dangerous. Even a handful of flour or powdered sugar can become a fuel-air explosive. Most people don't cause trouble, even if they can.

  13.  @nicky611  It's true. Even in America's World War 2 propaganda movies, we had to be encouraged to get along with our English allies, despite the fact that they enjoyed a passtime as dull as cricket.

  14. "It is essential for American stability for Americans to pick one fact they agree on" That gives a veto to whomever wants to destabilize America. The fact that we have such people, is why we have ideas like the country was founded in 1619, (instead of one year later in 1620 when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock) or why we can make a secular saint of a criminal who died of a drug overdose.
