Just a few more hundred billion and it’ll be good, trust me bro.
Once again: The Turing test requires a knowledgeable interrogator deliberately attempting to identify the machine. The people you cite want to believe, and so are effectively the opposite. Of course, you probably…
People who don’t know what capital letters are aren’t allowed to complain about punctuation.
Do you really think your world would be any better? Big corporations would still act under the same incentive structures as they do today (and in fact would continue to do so even if you forced them all to become…
To elaborate: A lot of that labour was what we would term ‘strategically important’. It is well understood today the importance of stabilising demand for strategic industries (such as those involved in the construction…
Or: The world could truly be a fundamentally awful place, and smarter people are just closer to comprehending the true nature of reality.
‘Neurotypical’ is starting to seem more and more like a slur every day.
This “billionaires couldn’t spend their money” thing comes up a lot, and it show’s a child’s idea of what people might spend money on. “$1000 a month buys more ice cream than I can eat and more toy cars than anyone can…
Fandom and Reddit are not the old Internet, they’re ad-driven middlemen that create nothing themselves. Self-hosted or at least self-maintained sites were the old Internet. After that point, the rot had already set in…
They already have all the data, all the money and all the chips. It’s actually the best it’ll ever be, as newer models will have to start paying off all that capex, newer models will be trained mostly on slop, and the…
Show me. AIvangelists love to say what AI can do, but never bother to provide any examples.
This terrible argument comes up in relation to AI over and over again. I don’t care if you built a brain surgery robot that outperforms the average person at brain surgery, I care if you built a brain surgery robot that…
https://xkcd.com/993/ A friend also called this the “Party Cannon effect”, in reference to black metal festival posters. When lavish detail is available at the push of a button, simplicity stands out far more.
Who are these “everyone”? I suspect that you actually mean “many random social media users”, which only proves that getting negative reactions out of the average social media is trivial; not exactly a groundbreaking…
That’s not the problem. These machines only have so much thrust, and are only aerodynamic in one direction. Sudden high-speed lateral acceleration is very costly from an energy budget perspective. Randomly dodging…
“Attack drones” have been around for basically as long as civilisation itself. It’s just a recent development that they’ve been made out of metal and not meat. So we never got to this point, we’ve been at this point the…
You’re talking about dodging bullets or shrapnel here. Source on that a multi rotor has that level of manoeuvrability while also carrying a lethal payload and enough battery for a viable engagement range?
That’s just a restatement of your previous point. Pretend I restated my response.
They buy ads too. It’d adversely affect their campaign budgets. (Sure, it would adversely affect their competitors’ too, but second-order effects are usually too complex for politicians to understand.)
…and nothing of value would be lost.
Vendors won’t see RoI on their ad spend and will stop buying. Simples.
Good idea. There’s an objective measure of alcohol content. All you need to do to make this analogy work is to create one for social media. Best of luck with that.
You need to stop eating fried chicken and then immediately rubbing your greasy fingers all over your disks. I have ripped over a thousand optical disks, including a lot of second-hand ones with only a handful of read…
There is a fairly effective counterpoint here that information is worthless if nobody can find it. Generating a handful of useful designs in a sea of pointless ones doesn’t count as ‘coming up with it’. Remember that a…
So in a discussion about a Korean’s view of an American’s view of Japan, you bring up China, and you’re the one complaining about propaganda?
