Things don't scale linearly like that. Many things are proportional to either the surface (so x²) or volume (x³) or complex combinations of those.

America is top of the list yet nothing happens. Seems like those "to defend against rogue government" arguments are just talk anyway and the entire world told you that for years.
Looks like Americans are all talk and just keep the guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.
Yet nothing in the news, because Americans are all talk.
Chances are you wouldn't do anything, like all the other people seeing kidnappers with masks and doing nothing. Looks like the rest of the world was right when they told Americans that their arguments for keeping guns to prevent the government from going rogue was all talk.
Why are the first two ifs in infix notation and the third isn't?
Interesting that Americans always argue that they need their guns in case the government goes rouge. So many comments say that they will get shot, because they absolutely look like kidnappers, yet nothing happens. Looks like you keep those guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.
I see what you mean but that's not what I thought China did. I thought they just declared every prisoner automatically an organ donor which would totally be fine IMHO.
I live in Europe (Austria) and the solitary-based health care system is amazing. Automatically declaring everybody a donor is the best thing you can do (in in that case there wouldn't even be a difference if you are a prisoner or not).
If you ask me we should even get rid of the option to opt out unless in well founded court approved exceptions. Opting out of being an organ donor is probably the most egocentric, selfish thing one could do. You are dead and you still want to deny helping others at literally no additional cost for you.
It also has practically the opposite effect of what you mentioned. If you only have a few organ donors and one is in a bad condition in a hospital there a probably a few people that hope they don't make it to get the organs. But if everybody is an organ donor the situation gets much simpler because there isn't this artificial scarcity.
Long story short, I haven't heard a single good argument for not being an organ donor except that people could care less about the paper work to opt-in. That's why the European opt-out system is way better, but many US citizens probably would call that communism :-)
Why would they phase that out? Once you are dead you don't need organs. I'm so happy to live in a country where you have to explicitly opt out of organ donation if you don't want to be a donor (many EU countries do it that way).
Every country where you have to opt in to be an organ donor has it completely backwards.
Update: ok maybe, I should have read the article

Ok that's fucked up
Any backups of the repository itself (and not the GitHub rendering)?
LLMs are not AGI tough.
I didn't say they have no knowledge, quite the opposite. Here a quote from the comment you answered:
LLMs are extremely knowledgeable (as in they "know" a lot) but are completely dumb.
There is a subtle difference between intelligent and knowledgeable. LLM know a lot in that sense that they can remember a lot of things, but they are dumb in that sense that they are completely unable to draw conclusions and put that knowledge into action in any other means besides spitting out again what they once learned.
That's why LLMs can tell you a lot about about all different kinds of game theory about tic tac toe but can't draw/win that game consistently.
So knowing a lot and still being dumb is not a contradiction.
That's what I meant with you wouldn't do anything. First you'd still have other options and if ICE is at your door and you start shooting at them it will probably kill you faster.
That was not my intention. It totally get why nobody is doing anything, especially with guns, because of the consequences. I just pointed out that so many people in favor of armed civilians bring completely flawed arguments and now we actually see in action how useless a "regulated militia" is.
Why would I? I don't have a gun and never argued in favor of armed civilians, because it's completely useless (and research shows that it only increases the chances of domestic violence and suicide). Maybe it wasn't useless at the time the constitution was written but the current situation shows that it is now. Besides that I live in Vienna.
