I dunno man taking 60KUSD a year only to be catty about the donor is a bit entitled as well.

I've had good luck getting it to debug (and patch) a tricky WebRTC issue that had all the other models stumped. Sorry it didn't work on your problem, I guess?

Yeah, they did (and probably do).

Well, humans obviously do those jobs, so a clearly a general purpose robot (in this case, a biorobot) has been found to do the job better. Don't overthink it.

This is such an obviously correct comment that I imagine it'll languish down below the fold.

Playing off of it, the submission says something worth highlighting:

> One of them builds autonomous weapons for the Pentagon.

Luckey was perfectly happy doing VR at Facebook until he got shoved out over politics.

It's not just letting the non-nerds in--it's a decade-plus long campaign to push nerds out if they have the wrong ideology.

> It feels impossible to predict the future and so I am not comfortable putting my chips anywhere.

Life is unpredictable, which is part of what makes it worth living. The only genuinely incorrect move is not putting down your chips.

I don't think you've at all addressed why moving anything there towards the executive is desirable, especially given the capriciousness of the current executive.

I do not understand why you are being downvoted for what is, essentially, a statement of bald fact and realpolitick.

Trump took advantage of a party already weakened by the Tea Party, and successfully turned it into a cult of personality at a time when the opposition was ideologically unprepared to deal with very real policy issues that their constituents were observing.

Do not read Doctor uncritically.

> An army of wreckers, led by the demagogue John Farson (who styles himself "The Good Man") are slowly but surely conquering the land, laying waste to those few remaining outposts of civilization and conscripting the young men in the conquered lands to march on their neighbors.

What he's leaving out is that in the novels Farson explicitly was a rabble-rouser pushing for democracy, egalitarian rule, and the downfall of the aristocratic class--and he used that to cloak anti-social behavior and butchery.

Sound familiar?

(Not that Cory is a butcher--hah!--but that he's deliberately eliding the "type" of demagogue Farson is. Consider why that might be.)

> We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company.

Presumably those things were harder as a charity/non-profit.

It helps if you look at Zitron's work history and experience. He's a hype man and a games journalist. His opinions on this are whatever sells, not exactly whatever is correct.

This is alarmingly obvious whenever he talks out of his depth about things like how companies actually use AI and reason about business decisions.

Real talk: which kids have you interacted with? What social class? What ethnicity? What household structure (nuclear, multigenerational, single parent, single parent plus intermittent partner, divorced with shared custody, dirtbag but grandparent covering)?

I've found that the people who are more optimistic about kids tend to live in a particular category of socioneconomic bubble.

The word you're looking for is "copied".

Don't fall for the great lie of intellectual "property".
