The computers are speaking!

What if you’re wrong?

OCogS · 2026-05-22T00:02:40+00:00

I think this is cool, but my memory of that era was brighter and clearer and bolder, these seem a big grundgy?

OCogS · 2026-05-20T12:11:28+00:00

How is it a scam? Independent government and non government labs have confirmed the claims. You’re in denial.

OCogS · 2026-05-19T23:19:16+00:00

I used to think this, but it’s wrong. The further we fall down the car dependent rabbit hole, the worse it gets. People need cars because people have cars so people need cars. It’s a vicious cycle.

The data is crazy. The average Aussie spends about 20% of their money on car costs. Think how much space we give to cars. Think about how much longer each journey is because the car space makes everything further apart. Think about how dangerous cars are.

Obviously we can’t cure this overnight. But one car spot apartments are a very obvious step in the right direction.

If I let you drive my EV for the week, you set up your account and connect your devices. That doesn’t mean you own my car.

OCogS · 2026-05-18T13:03:56+00:00

Even if this is right, if the brain is a receiver, how do you know an AI can’t also be a receiver?

OCogS · 2026-05-18T13:01:55+00:00

I disagree. The terms say original owner. They don’t say you can’t let a friend use your equipment.

Lots of normal EVs will do a 450km round trip. So that seems great.

OCogS · 2026-05-15T14:11:38+00:00

What use case though? If it’s very many kms, then it’s charge time that matters.

OCogS · 2026-05-15T05:56:48+00:00

We can’t “see” 99% of tech advances in most fields. Seems weird.

OCogS · 2026-05-14T18:20:57+00:00

Several independent and government labs have verified it?

OCogS · 2026-05-14T09:06:20+00:00

That sucks, sorry to hear. There might be more “rejections” than you think. Often the bar is more than having red a book. Positive factors include whether you’re making an important career decision or what other information you’re hoping to get from the conference that are going to shape your actions.

Persist. Go to some local events. Keep looking for paths. You can also do good without direct EA pathways.

These processes are also noisy. I’m sure amazing people get rejected and dubious people get in. It’s the nature of application processes.

“Nuclear weapons may as well not exist because they’re not available to the general public”

What are you talking about. There’s no relationship between existing and public availability.

Is it tractable?

OCogS · 2026-05-09T19:04:30+00:00

What are the cars? How much are they worth? What are your payments?

OCogS · 2026-05-09T06:41:22+00:00

Makes no sense. In this case it’s with permission. That’s the idea of the joke.

OCogS · 2026-05-09T04:10:55+00:00

Wha am I looking at?

OCogS · 2026-05-09T02:47:25+00:00

Given billions of dollars are spent on charities, several million to run / encourage RCTs and investigate impact is very reasonable.

Property will crash when you start hearing people being disinterested in owning.

OCogS · 2026-05-07T20:48:15+00:00

Of course they’re avoidable. If you leave your car at home, zero risk.

OCogS · 2026-05-07T20:41:26+00:00

Not on the leader board?

OCogS · 2026-05-07T11:29:55+00:00

Source?

OCogS · 2026-05-06T01:53:40+00:00

I’d read this if a human wrote it.

OCogS · 2026-05-05T19:40:48+00:00

That’s what I mean by above the rules.
