This is like saying that talking about my financial limitations is irrelevant because Jeff Bezos also has financial limitations...

well I AM aware that my comments here are shared with the whole world, which Y Combinator startups are a subset of...

I have an e-ink photo frame on the wall that switches picture once every 24h, picking one of my pictures of the last 10+ years by random. So every single one of my tens of thousands of pictures gets a real chance to be seen at least once during my lifetime :)

Which frame do you use? I’ve been looking for this for a long time, but I wasn’t aware color e-ink was good enough for this yet.

it's actually black and white, and needed some programming to work like this.

But transistor designers didn't pivot away from designing transistors. They left Facebook and all the other stuff to others and kept designing better transistors.

Newton's laws are a good enough approximation for many tasks so it's not a "false understanding" as long as their limits are taken into account.

Analogy doesn't work because the bomb came first and the reactor later, that is, regarding fission the reactor isn't even here yet. And it was clear from the beginning that the chain reaction is real not hypothetical.

No, there was a functioning reactor built as part of making the bomb.

And it is not a hypothetical concern that a new type of agent might be fundamentally uncontrollable; we're already barely surviving corporations persuing their inhuman goals.

No way I get into a car that has a human driver who literally has no skin in the game.

They can always fire the driver if he/she causes a few fatalities.

Are you sure the driver won't have a poster up above his screen like this one? :

Poster? Second screen multiplayer.

The fact check will come when some foreign soldier kicks in the door to your basement computer room.

haha that word. back in the 80ies,some polish friends of mine taught me that but refused to tell me what it meant and instructed me to never, ever use it. Until today I don't know what it is about...
