Or how about I just don't want to worship anyone? Is there something extreme about this?


There's a shortage of something but I don't think it's compute.


Who submitted the prompt?


Hatred of the labor theory of value. This isn't my judgement on it. Just my guess why certain people with certain interests argue against it


Why don't we need it? I wouldn't mind being in the 0.1% or 0.0001% of earners in a place.


Sure, who doesn't want unlimited money? That's decidedly different from "needing" it (I could in no way manage to live on the West Coast on a Spanish salary, for example)


Well then why do the people who do earn that much there need it?


Sky-high cost of living (property prices, mostly). Shitty apartment with a commute in the bay costs $3,000/month. Starter home in Seattle costs a million plus.

It's also a vicious cycle: high tech salaries in those areas have driven up the cost of living.

The prices in Madrid/Barcelona are not exactly far off already (through no fault of high tech salaries).


But a high tech salary in that area doesn't put them in the percentile we were discussing.

Not on the West coast, no, but my contention is that my comp when I worked for a FAANG in Seattle (5 years ago) would put me well into the top 0.2% of Spanish earners


Revealing it doesn't make you a fraud. That was already the truth.

Revealing it makes you known as a fraud.


Drawing sneakers the right way is what separates our society from savagery.


  A fully open-source humanoid arm for physical 
  AI research and deployment in contact-rich 
  environments.
When will someone release this but for deployment in target-rich environments?


I think in target-rich environments, the humanoid form is pretty easy to beat.


But what if I've done nothing illegal and they only think I have?


Again, I believe every private citizen should keep their own footage for exactly this reason.

Other people’s footage will only be used against you.

It is a real big shame that Meta is the only one pushing personal video capture right now. It has tainted the idea of personal surveillance as a counter to all this madness.


I think Anthropic told them being a plumber is a great option.


It's called choice. Maybe a dumb choice, but a choice!
