Considering that we're already approaching a Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum analog at up to ten times faster than the onset of the PETM (one of the largest mass extinction events) [1], I’d say it’s pretty much game over.

It was a joke. Dang is the site-wide moderator

Sounds like it was written by someone with a health condition. Hope Bostrom is alright.

Quite puzzling also he wouldn't even refer to his earlier work to refute it, given that he wrote THE book on the risk of superintelligence.

Some Kantons are more easy going than others but overall the police are not to fuck around with.

According to this source, 77% of soy production is used for animal feed. That only a small percentage of it goes to cattle is irrelevant in terms of the damage caused.

This is so chatGpt it hurts. Can we petition hn to ban ai generated comments? I see more Reddit communities actively putting a ban on ai, hn should follow if it can be done with the available resources.

Generated comments of any kind are already banned according to dang (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33945628) even though it hasn't been added to the HN guidelines page. So you could legitimately contact the moderators to ask them to investigate.

Any accessible online space with real hacker culture? Mastodon?
