I wonder if the title of this post will someday be a certification?

I'm pretty certain it will be. It's a society thing. Much in the same way you have "artisan" items or "organic" food, a similar thing seems like an obvious development of ai in society. Very easy to apply a value and morality system to something like the implications of ai.

Is there any chance it could become richer? What governs the content of credit card and bank statements? Is there anyone pushing for them to be more useful?

I think (granted, this is from a quick bit of research so I could be wildly wrong) - the message you see in your credit card app with a transaction is usually mainly the merchant name and location which is part of ISO 8583, so it may be a bit hard to extend it to include an arbitrary message in a way that works without merchants having to replace card reader/POS systems en-masse.

Excellent noticing.

Why did this get flagged?


Probably because it's the equivalent of writing an article in the 1800s titled "Going to the Moon will not happen".

Sure, that's a sensible stance to take... assuming that there will be no further technological development.


I also wonder why this article was flagged. The article is a highly-respected researcher and professor at CMU. His thoughts are worth reading.


Yeah, "You cannot be reasonable in isolation" from the article really struck me.


That's neat! For org, if it had an option to generate the HTML file name from slugifying the org file name instead of the salted hash, it could be fantastic for rapid lightweight blogging.


Curious if you have ever heard of/tried https://www.spanishdict.com/learn?


Yeah, the parent comment is interestingly and carefully phrased -- it is not claiming that the decision makers at the time could have known that Japan (according to this one report, anyway) would have surrendered without the bombings or invasion, but rather that since it is the case they would have (again, according to this report), that people should not claim the decision to bomb saved lives.


That’s an interesting adage. Any ideas of its source?


It might have been in Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow"


I'm not sure, but something involving Kahneman et al. seems very plausible: The relevant term is probably "Attribute Substitution."
