I don’t buy it. The top 10 companies are mooning not because of AI, but because they’re in bed with a powerful wannabe dictator. I don’t mean to sound grim, but if I were a betting man I’d put my money on the unfairly advantaged companies too. Luckily I index invest and don’t listen to this noise.

Here’s the real strategy. If anything could make me believe the list doesn’t exist, it would be Musk doing exactly this.

Based on Kvashchev’s experiment: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7709590/, high school students appear to have gained about 10 IQ points in 4 years by taking his creative problem solving course. If you’re using IQ as a measure (for fun? Not sure your goal here) you could read up on him first.

I’d suggest regularly taking the Mensa IQ test, I suspect over years your score will improve, slightly and with great effort.

I don’t believe this will have any effect on your life, however. You’d be much better off learning a skill. A language, instrument, or artistic endeavor will bring you orders of magnitude more satisfaction, happiness, and bragging rights. If you’re thinking about career success, just work or study more. If you’re treating creative problem solving as the hobby itself, that’s cool too.

For memory, look up pegging and other techniques. Begin by memorizing your credit card numbers, etc.

Darn you have me beat, same but a bit more.

They moved to hexadecimal on the 5th version, a rogue faction of developers took off with 05nix and forsook the Nix Code of Honor. They called themselves the Knights of Nix. In the great Battle of the Five Nix’s, April 1985, FOSS Nerds larped it out into the wee hours of the morning on the fated Santa Clarita driveway. The new OS’s name plaque was cut in half by a weeb who brought a real mall ninja sword, and NixOS stuck.

It wasn’t immediately clear, I think you need to change your username to IUseArchBtw so we all know off the bat.

Much, much better. Just look at r/popular and tell me you don’t feel negative.

Downvoted only for the winky face. I earnestly believe the guy is innocent and unrelated

If Luigi Mangione can be wrongfully arrested and stand up to tyranny, we all can. I admire their spirit and resolve.

I just had a kid and I also believe the world is on fire. Firstly we’re extraordinarily privileged and even then I wasn’t sure. Secondly we just wanted to and are able to, it’s not excessively stressful because we have enough money and good jobs (my panic attacks have been the normal new parent variety, not the “world is on fire” kind), I’ve prepared for years. Third I guess it gives me some hope. Our kid will have their own path. But whatever they choose they’ll be trained to spot disinformation and religious thinking like a sane adult so that gives me some hope. Hopefully it’s enough to counteract the 100 other Idiocracy right wing children.

That would make more sense in theory. I think we’re past the point of civility though.

We should execute those who wield influence who make homophobic or transphobic comments in this way, by public hanging, immolation, or firing squad. I will literally vote for this.

It’s literally right wing politics.

Explaining your downvotes: “Bigger than left and right politics” how is Q Anon even slightly related to left-wing politics, or even enlightened centrism? It’s 100% far-right politics.

John Oliver did a show on this recently, in summary: “not all AI is spam, but all spam is AI”. My take, legitimate accounts with a long history are cheap to generate, they’re a great purchase to help spread bad faith disinformation and look legit. It’s a business model.

“Expansive”, great definition, thanks.

“An expansive vision that’s not about money” 🤣 thanks for the laughs.

They get a rise out of thinking they’re fooling anyone (they’re not).
