If simulation theory is compatible with every possible observation, it predicts nothing—and a hypothesis that predicts nothing gives us no reason to believe it.

> "reality is a simulation"

A simulated universe requires everything an ordinary universe requires, plus a simulator.

Absent independent evidence for the simulator, “we are simulated” is a less parsimonious hypothesis than “the world we observe is the world.”

I don't mean to doubt the simulation hypothesis/theories out there grounded in fact. As you point out, it isn't what it sounds like, essentially. But the majority just hears what it sounds like, and form an opinion around it. Ask them to explain, and it's more along the lines of "life's a video game"

what a weird thing to worry about. building regulations require fire sprinkler systems.

There's more to athletic wear than shoes. Competition like Lululemon, Vuori, Athleta, etc. suggest to me that Nike didn't expand their business broadly enough.

Lululemon is crashing out too tho, methinks consumers are having a hard time justifying the brand name markups for SEA clothing-slop these days.

Word is out and there are a number of well regarded amazon dupes (CRZ) for Lulu that are rumoured to be from the same manufacturing lines.

Why should they? Why can’t they just make shoes and be happy about it?

Exactly why should basketballers also try and advertise shoes.

What is the crime?

Paranoid delusion.

If someone intends to engineer an AI which causes mass murder or substantially disrupts critical infrastructure they can get a 20 year sentence. Same as trying to build a nuclear weapon.

Feature request: support LRUD.

Idea: ability to record your cursor movements in a simple code, e.g. U5 L9 D3 L2 D8.

You can then save, share, and remix those recipes.

Yea, that’s a cool idea. You could even make some fun animations.

> He elaborated to TechCrunch that this means he wants smaller, American open-weight AI labs to use the same kind of training techniques on American frontier AI labs, giving the U.S. a more robust set of open-weight options that aren’t Chinese.

Those market entrants would face commodity pricing power vs. high capital costs, no?

Maybe there'd be ROI but I think there's another layer or competitive dimension that's neither frontier lab nor distilled model lab.

Keep in mind that BRICS comprises 10 countries: Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates.
