It is difficult to seriously consider the opinion of someone who clearly fails to understand the difference between denotative and connotative meaning.

I’m pretty sure he’s not the one working 60 hours a week.

The majority of New Orleans residents aren't wealthy enough to convince the state to pay them (or even care what happens to them, really). If recent news is any indicator, being non-white means they are screwed.

Yeah, what this administration calls common sense is more like dumbass sense than anything else. On almost every level.

To zoom out, there’s a HUGE percentage of the US who uses “common sense” as a catch-all excuse to end all discussion.

In the debates I watch, they typically don’t have the mental capacity to steel man the opposition’s position so they can’t comprehend that someone else has a different intuition / “common sense” than them.

Beyond that, “common sense” has become a dog whistle to both virtual signal / vice signal to like-minded in groups and to deride outgroups. In a way, using that phrase is a way to dehumanize the person they are talking to.

IME “common sense” is code for “we don’t need to listen to experts about this”

Well, that is literally it's definition: sense of the commons. In other words -- what masses feel.

I know it changed its meaning over time, but that was the original meaning.

to paraphrase a common meme: physics and chemicals don't care about your common sense

The Biden era EPA covered up the East Palestine disaster by backdating policy changes to make the spill look less bad for the administration, didn't they? That's what an EPA whistleblower alleged.

What does AI bring to the table here? Maybe be a bit more clear about that.

And why would I need to log in? Is it expected that I would need a long-term account to use this? Is this useful enough to a casual user to make an account worthwhile?

It could be good for anyone country that's not the US (despite our hubris, we're not actually the center of the universe). But for the US, a country built on immigrants ands immigration, probably not so much. We fucked around, we found out.

Well, we're continuing to find out. We haven't exactly scraped rocked bottom yet.

Great. Google gets to hallucinate information and make us watch ads so they can earn money while they do it. Sci-Fi authors wish they could get a deal like that.

You should probably create an agent to make agents whose jobs are to figure out how to maximize the token usage (and one whose job is to calculate the minimum token usage, so it doesn't look like a boondoggle).

> This is analogous to measuring productivity by LoC output

True, but it looks like productivity to people whose own productivity is measured by how busy their subordinates appear to be.

If payment isn't required, I'm not going to pay unless there is extraordinary value. Your failure to establish a sustainable business model is not my problem.
