I also haven't had any USB-C ports fail, so +1 to your anecdata.

Some laptops are picky about what port you use to charge them, unfortunately - I believe my laptop has only one that can charge it fast enough to keep up with full GPU use - the others are around 20W iirc.

In the uncommon event that something in your computer catches fire, the flame retardant keeps the fire from igniting the otherwise flammable plastic and potentially burning your house down.

Sure, but RLHF ended up emphasizing this to a level beyond normal human writing.

It's not really hard to read.

If this were a traditionally evil company, the work to legalize the evil things would have started forty years ago.

Ya I roughly understand that the OP wanted to convey this message, but it was absolutely a hard read the way they conveyed it.

I suspect that asking people to pick on a visual spectrum would lead to most people clicking closer to the midpoint.

Just a heads up, you are currently following the early stages of AI-induced psychosis.

You can get any LLM to roleplay as anything with enough persistence - it doesn't mean that "really is" the thing you've made it say - just that the tokens it's outputting are statistically likely to follow the ones you've input.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47914354. Feel free to claim psychosis, but there's a rational, philosophical viewpoint here. I'm not diving into conspiracy theories.

It also seems to me, that people who call Claude 'he' seem to tend to have a very positive opinion of the LLM. My sample size isn't big enough to be sure if there's actually any correlation here, let alone if there's a causation or which way it flows.

The payout is much higher if you make an unlikely thing happen. "Unlikely things" in politics & warfare are probably highly correlated with irrational or irresponsible decisions.

If you're in a decision-making position you have lots of events passing by. Your limits are in trying not to get caught, not in searching for the biggest ratios for single bets.

Also there's plenty of things that are unlikely because they're specific, not because they're irrational. Things happening in specific date ranges are an easy one.

It's about leaving it open while you're working. You'd still close it when you're not around.

There is not much danger that a random person will come into your garage and put their hand under your circular saw while you are working it.

Carbon emissions from food production may go down about that much. However, those emissions are only about 30% of the total CO2 emissions humans are responsible for, if I recall correctly. So, total CO2 reduction would be about 18%.

and likely other un predictable knock on effects would reduce the benefit, like going vegan would mean more food is available overall, and population might rise in response.

Maybe. Due to not just the caloric availability, but due to eating habits that may influence behavior.
