It doesn't seem to violate guidelines and was a view on the future. Imagine there was some hard reason AGI wasn't possible with silicon. I really can't think of a mechanism but that's still futurism even if it doesn't align with your view of it. It's basically Dune (sure it's fiction and the prequels kind of hinge on AI but the main novels don't and are considered scifi which seems like a reasonable yardstick).

That said, their follow up is pretty aggressive. I can see that killing community. So would their pessimism I guess but I kind of hope this channel isn't only for soft sci-fi discussions as if they're realistic.

The account is two days old!??

I wish there were block lists here like in Bluesky. I name them as groups of why I'm blocking them like "needlessly aggressive".

Didn't they start doing this really early one? At least moving them around state lines and not telling lawyers or family so it was hard for them to file suit?

Yeah, I was think there is easier momentum for non-hardware tech. Social media is mostly its users so if they leave there isn't much. Disney showed some of the weaknesses of streaming services but they're aren't many non-US alternatives. There are YouTube alternatives but there most of the content creators are entrenched there. Most of the rest of Google's offerings have European alternatives.

I wish there was momentum to boycott US tech companies

What specifically in the original post did you have issue with? There's not a lot too that post, and you have agreed with part of it, so it seems like it would be faster to list out the issues

Here's a review focused to some extent on how accurate the science in that book is:

The author seems pretty focused on pushing a single message so I'd be careful with that message myself. (As someone who aspires to have a diet that's mostly vegetables with a few cheat days for meat.)

Fruits tend to get listed as low GI supporting the poster's statement.

Also, you're simplifying the chemistry and metabolic pathways to the point they sound the same when they're obviously different. I'm not an expert but I as I understand it table sugar is short chain and good to go, fruits (if they're not pre cooked) tend to be a bit more complicated and have a few more steps along the way (and I assume each requires some energy to unlock and also result in some chemical energy that isn't completely digested). Also, what you're saying goes a lot against what I understand from the carb count on the packet from fibre vs. what your body unlocks. That said, I'm very ignorant and far from an expert

Are you both from the US? It was rough getting used to how much you all like to drown out the food with various sauces

When did Ukrainian come into it? I went back to the article but half of it was behind a paywall

I just did a scroll through the posts returned for a search of "gary marcus" and didn't see too much. His newsletter hits a lot of the main beats if you just want occasional updates when something happens. It doesn't look too much like a channel exists though

Oh, I didn't say I had a preference. And I see your point that one is just a conjugation of the other. I've just seen capitalism as a term used more for explanation and when I've seen capitalist said it tends to have a negative connotation at best but more often it is half spat out
