There are plenty of wealthy people who are unhealthy.

Wake up at 4:30am and go for a run. You’re already accomplishing more at that point in the day than most wealthy people who are comfortably laying in bed.

The hard thing is doing the thing. Just do, that’s it.

>Wake up at 4:30am

About that, what hours people that wake up at 4.30 am go to bed? If they're so conscious about their well being I'd assume at least 8 hours of sleep, so maybe they go to bed at... 8~9 pm? my question is what do they do to end their day at 9pm? If you work 9-5, you have just 4 hours left after work. Less if you commute, have dinner and a "go to be" routine of maybe 30 min. How about social life after work? Run errands? In my case, if I need to do anything out of my house it has to be after work hours (because almost everything is closed between 6am and 9am when I start work).

So, what's the secret?

In the UK one of the best ways to launder money is to open a barber shop. Most people pay cash and unless they are going to watch every shop to see how many customers go through there's simply no way to police it effectively. I have heard that the shop owner will get a commission on any laundered money.

Same in Chile. A while ago our version of FBI closed 12000 barber shops along the country under an investigation on money laundering. It's so obvious it's ridiculous. 20 barber shops in the same street (we don't have a barber district btw), many of them working 24/7.

I dream for the day when I can get to do anything I want without leaving the terminal. Thank you for your service.

The criticism of the project name is on point though. Horrible for searching and probably a no-no in job machine.

There are weapons that can permanently paralyze an entire city. Not paralyze infrastructure or traffic... but permanent incurable paralysis of all the people in any area exposed to the weapon. That is still a 20th century technology.

Of course there are. I learned about that reading the works of Milo Rambaldi.

Cool show, weird plot, but what totally ruined for me was... Travis Fimmel. IMO this guy has zero range. Always the same lazy, drunk-ish style since, I don't know, Vikings. Ragnar in Kattegat, Ragnar in Azeroth, Ragnar in space, Ragnar in Dune.

> I don’t know many cult leaders who care about their followers

My impression is that cult leaders often do care about their followers. The problems rather start when the cult member becomes disobedient - this is when matters become very dirty.

>My impression is that cult leaders often do care about their followers.

Cult leaders care about their followers insofar as they stay submissive ass-kissing sycophants. It's not like they care about the follower's actual well-being.

Is this really a useful argument? There is clearly potential for AI to solve a lot of important issues. Anybody saying "and has this cured x y or z?" before a huge discovery was made after years of research isn't a good argument to stop research.

It is in the face of naive, overoptimistic arguments that straight up ignore the negative impacts, that IMO vastly outweigh the positive ones. We will have the cure of cancer, but everyone loses their jobs. This happened before, with nuclear energy. The utopia of clean, too cheap to meter nuclear energy never came, though we have enough nukes to glass the planet ten times over.

Stop pretending that the people behind this technology is genuinely motivated by what's best for humanity.
