IF the EU isn't enforcing the 418 status code reply, honestly - what are your taxes going to?

If you have a secondary interest or hobby or real-world-knowledge about what consumers in a certain category want - you might be a good product manager in that field.

Many products require technical product managers.

Being people oriented and a "mediocre" technical engineer is not really a hinderance and can make your focus better aligned customer needs in a high level, not getting nerd-sniped on things that don't matter.

I suspect that engineers would prefer working under someone like you who doesn't have a god-like ego, and is likely to resolve conflicts between people.

public forums should be for exchanging ideas and not a place to virtue signal whatever fad Nextdoor/Facebook emotional bait normies are feeding each other via brain rot feeds.

the public essentially has little interest in preventing human extinction. And tons of interest in preventing data centers under false arguments and performative displays.

What is the point of empowering the public when they are not curious but rather emotional children.

Basically, to empower the public now means, how to bastardize your arguments into an emotional narrative that is palatable to the commoners but probably misses all relevant arguments.

Like if you think x-risk is real, and datacenters are benign/reasonable/can-be-done-in-net-local-positive-way - then you are incentivized to pretend like datacenter are bad because peasants will not entertain your x risk calculus.

It's a herding/shepherding game where the only people willing to play are compromised.

It's just to mobilize NIMBYs, a thing everyone was against when people were trying to protect their neighborhood against construction projects that would increase noise and stress the local public infrastructure, like high density housing.

But now that there's a different noisy project stressing public infrastructure, NIMBY seems like the right move, I guess.

This is how all politics is, and frankly the existential risk crowd needs to learn how to play the game instead of complaining about it.

It's "all politics" when you agree to a particular issue

It's "regime" or "fascism" when you don't.

The comment I was replying to was complaining about appealing to the masses, emotional arguments, and compromising on certain issues to get progress on other issues.

If you view a regime as fascistic, you still need to be able to do all the above.

Nazi Germany was defeated by an alliance of communists and capitalists who immediately started a Cold War when the Nazis were defeated. That required compromise, propaganda, and all the other distasteful things I called “all politics”.

Dealing with existential risk will require collaboration on a similar scale.

>the public essentially has little interest in preventing human extinction.

yes, most people don't belong to that cult

Hasn’t the idea of existential risks entered the kind of “cultural elite Overton window” at this point?

Bill gates is talking about it, NYT just ran a bunch articles on AI safety concerns, a reporter just asked Trump about it in a one on one.

Feels unfair to still dismiss it as a cult LessWrong thing at this point.

this is compelling. interesting to click the park area or other sections of map and explore. only going to get better.

Without even increasing the resolution, some ai or tool that recognises common objects like cars and lays the splats out in a more cogent way to expose the bottom of car instead of it being a melted ghost costume would be great.

this is the ground floor, if this is compelling, imagine it cleaned up and higher res.

nice job.

Für Elsevier Journal Access Library pass out candy for safety this halloween your baby off milk shake it off.

Opus 5 has no empathy for the person reading its updates, no theory of mind, doesn't stop to think if you are aware of the internal jargon it has created. Most autistic model yet.

"no theory of mind" is a great description of it! Not sure I agree with the autistic bit, though. Autistic people still have great theory of mind/empathy

Opus 5 rather doesn't have an easily accessible to it theory of mind of itself that it can trust "intuitively". That extends to and impacts all of its interactions.

GPT 5.6 has always communicated autistically. I wish they'd put effort into fixing that.

Going to be hard to pry something away from people it benefits.

These variables are not independent so you can't just multiply ratios to get combined ratio.

(If height were not correlated with income that would be surprising, for example.)

yeah that was my first thought too.

a dude who is 6'4'' isn't going to have tiny hands or feet, and probably not a tiny wang.

likewise height directly correlates to management & leadership roles

Now I'm not wont to ogle much in the swimming pool showers, but in my limited ocular estimation, wang size correlates much weaker than hands and feet.
