> Yes. We only need one AI company. Max two. Good idea.

Nothing in the original comment suggested that fewer AI companies was inherently a good thing - just that this _particular_ AI company is a bad one.

> Deciding who is more moral has a great history.

I think you're being sarcastic, but, uhhh...are you honestly advocating for the converse, of making no judgements based on morals?

I was always under the impression that that was referencing the notion from spycraft.

Conductor is a more fully-featured app rather than a TUI (some people might prefer one or the other), and is Mac-only.

> steady stream of promotions until they cap out at L5

Am I missing a joke? L5 is just a single promotion away from hiring-out-of-college, at least for the FAANG that I was at.

Tried this for a couple days, but conductor.build is way better IME. Running _in_ the terminal is a flex, but doesn't actually bring any advantage.

God, I loathee the use of "moreso" as a synonym for "more" (rather than as "having the previously-mentioned property to a greater degree"). I'm convinced it's a hypercorrection by people who want to sound educated without actually thinking about the meaning of the words they use.

Indeed. "Lethargic" meaning "affected by lethargy" would hardly be difficult to guess!

Can you elaborate? Who are the imagined "they", and in what way are they conducting experiments with or monetizing this investigation?

> Open AI claims

You undermine your own point when you misrepresent the situation like this. Real human mathematicians, including at least one Fields Medal winner, have validated and complimented the result.

I mean...they _are_. That doesn't mean that they doesn't have quality beyond what those dregs see.

FWIW, I didn't read this as AI-like. Even on a re-read, it's only the quasi-em-dash, and _maybe_ the polite acknowledgement of "Very fair pushback" (just good etiquette, IMO!) that would ring any alarm bells. You're fine.

> Higher taxes for anyone earning over $100k

Not a failure. Society working as intended.

> [...] lower quality of life [...]

Agreed, that would be a failure, if it were to happen. How on earth could "giving people money" lead to a lower quality of life for them?

> Politicians and corporations earn billions in profits on UBI distribution fees

As opposed to the much higher fees accrued by the more-complex means-tested programs today?

A deeply repugnant man, carrying out painfully-obvious sleight-of-hand to obfuscate the clear gaps in a cancerous philosophy. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the comments being so critical.

OK, I'll bite - what would a failure of UBI look like?

> The amount of computations for a human to do the same tasks is thousands of orders of magnitudes less.

OK then - do it, faster.

> You can take comfort in the fact that a few months later some[...] developer can [solve] the same problem [using your work]

Isn't that what collaboration and sharing software is supposed to be all about?
