Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.
I'm not saying I won't be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.
They can already do this by hosting a small instance and going unnoticed.
I really want to sign up for Beeper, but the fact I have to give them my phone number to sign up for a waitlist seemed like a red flag. How is their security profile?
This is great, thanks for sharing. I wonder if this is still the company policy or if things have changed.
I maintain that this had something to do with a disagreement over which commercial applications are permissible for GPT-4, and that Sam Altman somewhere along the line negotiated a deal that allowed some actor to participate in one of the "forbidden applications" by proxy via a seemingly unrelated agreement. I'm talking Financial Forecasting (High Frequency Trading), Military, and Policing/Surveillance. Now that Sam's back and unfettered, I'm guessing we are going to see some of those applications come out into the light.
I will walk every step to Mordor on my treadmill.
@spaduf if you are looking for graduate level philosophy lectures, it doesn't get much better than The European Graduate School https://youtube.com/@egsvideo?si=A29MKhUHiBrpycKI
@dope legalize all drugs, provide clean drugs to users via regulated dispensaries or pharmacies, take all money from the drug war and allocate to mental health services including inpatient rehab. It works, check Portugals record on heroin use.
That said, cannabis has a way better afety record than any of the other substances mentioned.

@ValueSubtracted bummer, let's hope the USSC doesn't see this as an invitation to further eviscerate environmental protections down here.

Most depections of telekinesis do not exert an opposing force on the user, in other words the force is exerted in an arbitrary vector from an arbitrary point in space. That means you could compress a hole in the ground under you but not levitate at all because the force doesn't act on your body. If it did act on your body lifting 5000 lb would crush your bones to dust.
As other people have pointed out a better option is the "magic carpet ride" or more desirable "flying motocycle" angle, where you Exert force on an object and it moves you as it normally would when pushed or pulled by any other force. I personally like the "infinite parasailing/paragliding" angle as it is possible to do without immediately being noticeable as strange by the public, and it requires less mental effort since you are still using lift for upforce.
