@tlbtlbtlb @paulg In the medium term, there's not really such a thing as learning to use it. AGI just does things for you, better than you.

The point of being selective in who you hire is not having to tolerate red flags. Just move on and hire another person.

@JDVance Idk, if the targeted race was white you'd be after him with pitch forks. There's plenty of talented options to bring on. There's no need to tolerate overt racism.

@Aging_Scientist @AlexAlarga @alistair___s I mean, if you're a pure consequentialist, maybe, but you don't see a lot of people going around harvesting one healthy person's organs to save 5 other people. I prefer a deontologically-constrained consequentialism.

@virgoanvoid @nickcammarata ASI comes in 3 years bro. Have a slice of freeze dried mango. Just one. You wouldn't want your last thought as the dyson sphere is closed up to be "I wish I had tried freeze dried mango".
