Take the death of a child in an accident. We can explain how it happened, the physics, the sequence, the medical cause, but there’s no ‘why’ that satisfies reason or compassion. To see purpose in that kind of pain, you’d have to believe in a higher power who planned every scream, every breath...

Ahh, it doesn’t validate anything of the sort! From what I gathered in Wiploc’s post, it’s actually about how reason tends to overreach. You know, reason without experience, or worse, reason without critique… that’s how you end up with a DrZoidberg situation. In other words, just another...

That explains how we’re able to ask, surely it doesn't treat the how as if it were the why. I think the problem for some people is that they feel there has to be a ‘why,’ without considering that maybe, just maybe, there isn’t one.

Just a bunch of Arabs doing what they learned from the “civilized world.” And don’t come at me with “violence is just part of human history”, this isn’t simply that. What’s happening here is the same colonial logic, in Arab uniforms.

I was just about to post about this. Good riddance to that piece of shit is all I have to say. Edit: The conviction isn't enough. Second degree.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but I’m not coming from a personal angle about the president posting that video. I’m talking about the dignity of the Oval Office and what it represents. I’ve seen far worse things online, so to me, the post itself is just stupid. But if you really think this is...

Based on what he’s actually said and done, there’s little that genuinely benefits the average American, and quite a lot that’s damaged the nation’s stability and reputation. Maybe he’s just being the same self-serving CEO he’s always been, now with an added streak of vindictiveness fueled by age...

It’s just white privilege as usual. Everyone knows if Obama had posted a video like that, he’d have been impeached, arrested for treason, and given the death penalty in some military facility somewhere.

I think you’re leaving out the most important applications of AI, not sure why. The military, medicine, and science in general are where its real impact lies. Don’t be misled by AI videos like the one showing Muhammad Ali smack-talking with Bruce Lee. There's way more going on with AI. ;)

Thanks for the correction. Edit: There is also a different between the AI and the data centers themselves, and I said AI in that instance.

Right, because some railroad in Nebraska is super useful to a start-up in Prague. :rolleyes: Edit: I’m just saying data centers can serve people all over the world.

Holy shit, that gave me chills. You're rubbing the spot,

Man, I really love this analogy, it’s more fact than analogy, honestly. I’d only add that the railroads faced physical scalability limits, while AI doesn’t. That difference might let the market adjust to changes in demand more easily. With railroads, once the tracks were laid, that capital was...

The teacher wasn’t wrong, though. In capitalism, the purpose is profit, that’s the engine driving everything else. Providing goods and services at the lowest cost isn’t the goal itself; it’s the result of competition among businesses trying to make that profit. That process is called...
