What's the point of a test like that? Is the point of AI art to look as if it was painted by a human or is the point to create something we value enough to want to hang on your wall? AI art isn't replacing humans. Humans will continue to do fine art. What AI is doing is opening up a new...

Hmm.. they work just fine once you have limited it's scope and limited how it should present the data. I suggest looking up how to do AI prompting. You sound like you want it to just magically work without guidance. It won't.

I'm pretty sure John Locke wasn't a chimpanzee. You're making the classic mistake of thinking that our ancestors thought just like we did. They didn't.

True. And Hobbes idea of property rights is even weaker than Rousseau's. Hobbes' idea is this: Social contract = “We’ll behave if someone keeps order.” Property rights = “You own stuff because the state says so — and only because the state says so.”

I'm an atheist. Natural property rights require a god they could have come from.

This is Leninism. Not Marxism. And was simply a necessity if Lenin wanted to concentrate power in his own hands. Because the Bolsheviks were very much in the minority. The majority was the mensheviks, and they were what we today would define as middle of the road social democrats. As became the...

This is a different conversation. I am not arguing against property rights. I'm arguing against the idea that they're natural, as if given by a god. Property rights is a result of a social contract, ie culture. I can imagine a scenario where all wealth is concentrated in a tiny elite and...

That might all be true. Which it is. But that's not the reason why property rights became enshrined in British law and then exported to its colonies and then accepted as gospel around the world. What I am saying is the reason. Modern economic theory, (ie how mercantilism was abandoned) comes...

Yes, absolutely. It would be a boring world, birth numbers would plummet, but good news, trains would go on time and everything would work. Corruption would disappear. No, it's not realistic. Because this is not human nature. But we could do it. Market economics says that we'll all be cleaning...

Ie, you used it for the wrong thing. Using AI as a fancy Google will give you a lot of errors. That's not what its for. If you think this is what AI is for you will be dissapointed. First find the relevant information the old fashioned way. Then feed what you got to your AI to collate it = win.

I like to think about it as me caring about what is true. Whether we call that an obsession... I don't know Well, the method has clear steps anyone can follow. But we're all constantly tempted to buy non-essential stuff. Its only easy in the first sense. Not in the second sense Yes No. We...

Natural rights and natural property rights are not natural. They're made up. Any rule regarding property rights is as good as any other. Its the law that decides what is considered stealing. If the law says its not stealing, then it isn't. The western tradition of respecting property rights...

One thing many leftists don't understand is that there's high churn on the top. That's a technical investment banker jargon. It means that the richer you are the easier it is to lose your money. It's extremely hard to stay rich. It's not particularly difficult to climb and become rich. Assuming...

Just like the Internet?

So then don't. Get a job doing something more profitable, and scaleable, and leave the toilet cleaning to those who doesn't have that motivation. What is interesting is how many people don't do this calculation and chose to get rich. Because it entails putting up with a lot of discomfort now...

It depends what your expectations are. There is a pretty solid theoretical ceiling to how good AI can get. AI is basically a statistical engine that works on probability. That means that any knowledge that is either cutting edge or extremely specialised AI can't help you. AI is awesome on any...

Capitalists finance the factory. Or as a philosopher friend of mine put it, "poor people are poor because they invest in the wrong things" (..."if the goal is to be wealthy"). That's the skill capitalists bring to the table. Ie, being a joyless miserly cunt. Clearly they are needed in today's...

Something we often completely ignore with Marx is that he was a philosopher. Not an economist. Both Marxist theory and economics were developed from the same movement, the physiocrats. Adam Smith, the Physiocrats (Compte) and Marx were all philosophers. Ie, they sat around using their...

Good management is invisible in the organisation day to day. Its when management dissapears we notice what they do all day. And suddenly everything gets complicated I've worked in management most of my working life

Yes, Marx just didn't think of that, or didn't think it would be a problem. If I try to defend Marx. It wasn't until the Bessemer process in we went from machines primarily made from cast iron components to being made from hardened steel. That's when milimetre precision becomes the norm. It's...
