Re:Why aren't smart people happier? on Wednesday November 05, 2025 @11:46PM (#45831593)
Pleasure and happiness aren't the same thing, but most people chase pleasure while calling it happiness. Pleasure is the quick hit—good food, sex, scrolling your phone—it feels great but fades fast. Happiness is something else entirely, and what it means changes drastically depending on how smart you are. Less intelligent people tend to equate happiness with basic pleasures and getting their needs met. Average intelligence ties it to status, money, keeping up with others. But higher intelligence complicates everything: some people find meaning in ideas, creativity, or purpose; others overthink themselves into misery, seeing through all the goals that used to motivate them. Intelligence gives you better tools to understand happiness but can also strip away the simple certainties that make it easier to actually feel happy. You gain clarity but lose the blissful ignorance that makes chasing straightforward goals satisfying.

viewing it as an assistant is the way to go. it's there to help you - like an overpowered autocomplete - but not there to think for you.

Re:AI CapEx Is Eating the Economy on Friday July 18, 2025 @04:33PM (#44609513)
I hear AI data centers are consuming more power than the entire country of Argentina /s

But I don't hear anyone worried about the massive power consumption without a clear indication if this is a net positive for our society.

it's almost like they don't want tourists.
Re:"Normal" engineers are the key to great teams on Friday March 14, 2025 @12:02PM (#43363939)
hah. i'm sorry but this is extremely naive. projects don't succeed of fail solely on the technical chops of the engineers. it's a whole "ecosystem" that has to work and most projects I've seen failing are due to politics/bikeshedding at upper management level.

i believe the intent is to highlight the banality of the claim through an analogy.
I do not believe you know what you are talking about. Let me ask you: what is intelligence? If this thing is intelligent and you remove humans completely what are you left with?
Chatgpt quality is going to degrade over time. Google search results were amazing before monetization and SEO kicked them in the teeth.

Same is going to happen to chatgpt once they will start trying to extract more value out of it.

Do not agree. Unless they cannot stay in place for more than a couple of months I don't really care. People put too much weight on having bodies fill their seats and not very much weight on the quality of the output.
