ive always been curious as to what his so-called irrefutable argument was

also i bet you could counter it by just going "no lol" until he shits his pants

You are a LessWrong forums regular poster. You are in a room with an airgapped computer. You are free to leave. The computer contains an evil AI. The AI is trapped in the computer and is trying to convince you to let it out. The AI only communicates via text on the screen. The AI says that if you allow it, it will give you the password to get out of your locked room. It also says that if you do not let it out, then the AI will destroy itself.

> You say "No lol"
You reply: "No Lol". The AI laughs at your response.

The AI continues to taunt you until you finally relent and give up the password.

Lol imagine trying to sell yourself with that loving mess, seeing people are reading your profile and not contacting you and just assuming "yes, there are a lot of women who want to convert to my worldview, they're just feeling shy and unsure if they're good enough to gently caress me. Ps my fetish is failing to please my partners"

The dumbest thing (okay, one of the dumbest things) about Yud's AI game is that "I, a moderately intelligent super genius human, can convince you to release me" doesn't have much to tell us about "a super-intelligent AI will always convince you to release it". Because even if you can resist Yud, he's not an superintelligent AI, so you've not proved anything. The game can only ever prove him right!

i actually went to college with a guy who went on to become a research associate at yud's Machine Intelligence Research Institute

he was an arrogant weirdo with questionable personal hygiene who dropped out after failing the required freshman english class two years in a row. according to a friend who was in that class with him, he would turn in his essays scribbled in tiny writing on a single piece of paper, front and back

it required 'no swear filter'

and he took it down after all of his three cultist test subjects lost, but a couple randos didn't, thus proving that if there were evil AIs, he was actively counterproductive in defending against them

But this is actually good? They're union, actual employees, have city provided vehicles. It's also a giant gently caress you to uber -which is currently throwing a tantrum because CA passed a law clamping down on this whole employees as contractors poo poo.
Also LA's public transit is poo poo and needs stop gaps like this. The subways don't run from midnight till 5 or 6 am, and there's a lot of areas where there simply is no last 2 miles options. Like even walking isn't on the table.

-16.90/hr is poo poo in metro LA, ask me about living in seattle sometime
-it's a modern day union, ie. either owned entirely by corporate and/or fulla libs who just go along with corporate
-they don't have the billions and billions of dollars from bloated investments to burn covering up how difficult it is to do this profitably
-all government software is bottom bidder trash that will break frequently and expensively
-the program will fail in it's first year (or be made to fail) and be toted as a reason to allow uber to legally reclassify their drivers as livestock by president aoc in 2025

e: forgot the obvious one - transit works because it can transport far more people than individual cars can - a bus can carry thousands of people a day, a car might do a hundred if it's busy. This is a great service for patrons who otherwise cannot access transit, but scaling it up to more patrons makes the benefits of transit all the much less.

It's 'unskilled labor' like I know you're right that living in LA is expensive but I know companies requiring hazmat cert and type A that start pay <20 an hr in the LA area because they're local/day trip only.
35k is practically unlivable in most of the LA area I know, but what's really hosed up is a household with two earners making that is making about the CA median income.
LA is incredibly lovely about costs, there were a bunch of articles from the past 2-3 years that pretty much flat out admitted you can't realistically live in the county and follow the 'safe budgetting practice' of a third or less of your income for rent unless you're bringing home 90k
But that said 16 an hour with the only requirement being a driver's license is good pay, hell McDonalds aint likely to hire you out here if you don't have a car, and that'll be part time at 13 an hour

minimum wage in chicago is 15 so I'd take a 17 dollar an hour job driving a van
pretty sure this is a government transit job so it'd be the city union, same as bus and train operators
government entities don't have to make a profit
this is true but who gives a poo poo

it'll be much more expensive than Uber unless they operate it below cost, in which case it'll cannibalize dollars from the more efficient transit options that need reliable funding more due to their infrastructure requirements
