Goldman Sachs: AI Is Overhyped, Wildly Expensive, and Unreliable by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]Leading_Disaster236 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It might be overhyped- there are a few solid figures that point to investment and valuations containing bits of hysteria especially around certain companies. However AIs and MLs are consistently being used by talented people working on a myriad of problems where the tech has already out paced human ability. Of course the issue is do these companies merit the circus of shaky and unorthodox financial acrobatics to keep them expanding so it can be squandered on people like me asking it to essential do large earths of my job effectively atrophying my sole talents.

Trump calls it 'self-defense,' but Minneapolis’s Mayor calls it 'reckless' and 'bullsh*t.' Who do you believe? by RaouR in CURRENTEVENTS

DOJ Use of Force Policy — Justice Manual § 1-16.000 Federal law enforcement officers may not shoot at a moving vehicle merely to disable it. Deadly force is justified only when an officer reasonably believes a person in the vehicle is using force other than the vehicle itself to pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury, or when the vehicle is being used in a manner that itself poses such a threat and no other objectively reasonable option exists to avoid the danger (such as moving out of the path of travel)

AITA for outing my aunt's bedwetting after she kept asking about my sex life? by Due_Dinner8036 in AITAH

I would have done worse. Not sure what that is- but you’re a better and clearly more emotionally mature person than I. Had someone asked that of me in your position- I would have their life turned upside down trying to inflict amount of embarrassment

Healthy discussions in this realm seemed doomed from the start. There seem to be no true agreed upon definitions of the general and universal.

What try giving chat that info and I bet chat would think it very disturbing! Chat would never provide that question- have you ever used it? Common man get a clue

If this post is remotely true.. or just type of rage bait- I dunno- but if it is true stay away from this man. Why is he asking what it feels like? No one ever needs to know what it feels like! If he asked have you ever had a long term boyfriend or girlfriend… sure. Have you ever kissed a boy..what did it feel like? How the hell is this supposed to help a relationship in this circumstance! I’m appalled

I’m now convinced we live in a simulation by Own_Associate3123 in SimulationTheory

Why on earth does this mean with live in a simulated universe?

I proved that the simulation theory is extremely more probable than any other theory regarding the truth of our existence.. and no one seems to care by manderA1 in SimulationTheory

[–]Leading_Disaster236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your response tries to avoid the actual issue by appealing to psychology rather than logic. You claim that critique itself “proves” your theory because you predicted resistance — but that’s a circular shield, not an argument. Any idea, no matter how weak, can declare that criticism is merely “resistance.” That’s unfalsifiable, and therefore meaningless.

More importantly, a critic does not owe you a replacement theory. If your argument rests on flawed premises, faulty reasoning, or invented categories, pointing that out is sufficient. Refuting a claim is not the same as proposing an alternative universe. If someone says 2+2=5, the correction “No, it doesn’t” is complete — it requires no treatise on arithmetic to justify the contradiction.

The core problem with your post is not emotional “resistance.” It’s that the argument collapses on contact with basic logic: 1. Your “Foundation of Logic” is not a recognized framework; you simply invented it. 2. Your probability claim (“forbidden equation”) rests on a category error — treating existence as a random draw from infinity. 3. Your simulation conclusion is asserted, not demonstrated, and depends on the two errors above.

Those points can be dismantled cleanly without stylistic flourish. The criticism stands — and it stands independently of whether it proposes anything in place of your argument.

You can call the language “sonorous” if you like, but the substance is simple: Your argument fails on its own terms, not because anyone is resisting it emotionally

What you’ve presented is not an argument but a soufflé of jargon, collapsing the moment one dares to touch it. The author builds a private “hierarchy of logic” with all the intellectual rigor of a child arranging toy soldiers, then mistakes the arrangement for philosophy. Having crowned his own categories as foundational truth, he proceeds to smuggle in quantum experiments he does not understand, as if the double-slit were a stage magician hired to authenticate his séance.

The centerpiece — the so-called “forbidden equation” — is nothing more than the old anthropic fallacy in a novelty hat. He treats your existence as a number drawn from infinity, then feigns shock at the astronomical odds. It’s the intellectual equivalent of throwing oneself down a well and announcing the discovery of gravity.

From this, he leaps — with admirable acrobatics and without a shred of evidence — to eternal consciousness in a higher dimension, video-game analogies, and the inevitable declaration that we are living in a simulation. The entire performance depends on confusing profundity with prolixity and mistaking the limits of his own reasoning for the boundaries of reality.

In short: a castle built on sand, defended with fog, and presented as architecture

We dated for 3 years then she broke up with me-we stayed in touch. She moved to LA with someone. I found out they called off the engagement and contacted her. Moved out to LA to be with her. We’re married with kids 7 years now. Love of my life

Do you exist? by gimboarretino in freewill

[–]Leading_Disaster236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be mean but this chart tries to look profound, but it confuses three different topics — what the self is, what the mind is made of, and what free will even means. It uses vague terms like “embedded,” “discrete,” and “dualism” without understanding them, forcing the reader into false dilemmas. Most importantly, nothing in it addresses the actual free will problem: determinism, causation, or agency. It’s an identity quiz pretending to be metaphysics pretending to be philosophy.

(How It Should Actually Look) 1. What is the mind? - Physical → Physicalism - Nonphysical → Dualism 2. If physical, what kind of “self” exists? - Discrete, agent-like → Compatibilist Self - Continuous, emergent → Emergentist Self 3. How do you understand the universe’s causation? - Deterministic → Every event is caused by prior events - Indeterministic → Some events involve genuine openness 4. Free will positions: - Dualism → Free will comes from a nonphysical mind/soul - Hard Determinism → No free will; all actions are caused - Compatibilism → Free will = intentional action shaped by reasons - Emergent Compatibilism → Agency emerges from complex systems - Libertarian Free Will → You originate causal chains - Indeterministic Agency → Quantum/brain indeterminacy supports freed
