conflating metaverse and meta


uh exactly? I'm saying the same thing as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50148049

metaverse is the term coined by Neal Stephenson. Not 'meta'


You too?

Not sure if you even realized it but you pointed directly at the very problem with the American version of this scenario.

The tipping.

It's fucked because it distorts the relationship between staff and customers, not to mention it lets businesses get away with underpaying their staff.

Fortunately Japan doesn't do this.


> No wonder most people at Anthropic believe our jobs are in jeopardy, they've already made a system wherein the machines are treating them like pets.

I guess it wouldn't be surprising for people prone to AI psychosis to be attracted to working at the frontier labs, resulting companies that are heavily in the throes of mass AI psychosis.

Being tongue-in-cheek here.



from the wikipedia on the trolley problem this is mentioned:

> In 2017 a group led by Michael Stevens, a YouTuber known for his brand Vsauce, performed the first realistic trolley-problem experiment. Subjects were placed alone in what they thought was a train-switching station, and shown footage they believed to be real (but was pre-recorded) of a train going down a track, with five workers on the main track, and one on the secondary track; the participants had the option to pull the lever to divert the train toward the secondary track. Five of the seven participants did not pull the lever.[28][29]

That means in real life it's going to be closer to 0.286 (2/7) than 0.75. Human ethics likely can only be accurately derived from paying attention to the instinctive reactions over survey-based approach.


The verbosity of the entire post can be condensed down to just this bit:

> verbosity is a substitute for thoroughness

Clearly OP author is far too wordy as well!


I bet all the new Omarchy users will really appreciate this one!

the post mentions ncspot

Ah you're right, my brain totally skipped over that sentence.

Great problem to work on!

thanks
