All current jobs have human input and output interfaces. If you want to sell new technology then it will be easiest to accommodate the already existing infrastructure.

The problem is that if your system loses then your system stops existing. This already is the case with AI - all the relevant AI is made according to other people's preferences and we have no say in it. Sure, we can regulate what kind

Is it responsible and beneficial if the end result is that we will be forever stuck using foreign made AI? And on top of that we will get brain drain for the people that want to work on AI?

The problem is with bicycles being relegated to either the sidewalk or the main road with cars. I'm really not a fan of how cities create bikelanes by putting a line through the sidewalk and then nobody respects it. I see the appeal in

Yeah, and once you have the non-intrusive system in place you can just switch it out for the tracking one without the user knowing. Or there's probably some kind of correlation trail possible that will track you even with the anonymous

I feel like to put that much effort into anti-scalping efforts you actually have to have a product that's really valuable. For a lot of products this really isn't the case (like this Steam machine iteration).

Do you have this same social contract with drawing applications? Do you consider it a bug when someone manages to draw a gory image in Photoshop or GIMP? I don't understand what's so difficult to understand about the idea that th

A tool that can draw anything... can draw anything. This is like being surprised that you can draw a violent image in Photoshop. If you don't want a violent image to be generated then don't ask for a violent image to be generated.

I see. I'm actually more impressed by a head on intercept for the current anti-satellite missiles and that definitely makes the idea unworkable.

I've thought about this before - do you actually need to "shoot it down" (make it explode)? What if you just nudge it a little and either make it spin or change its orbit? If your missile can reach the satellite then these se

I feel the same way, down to the "weird other world" feeling. AI has infinite patience, which means that you can ask and refine intricate questions. You can't always trust their answers, but you can't do that with people

I would even go further: inhaling pretty much anything other than air is harmful in the long-term. I imagine if you inhaled helium several times a day for decades that it would also mess something up.

I wonder if this is actually true in the long-term though. If they were to flood the market with lots of high capacity memory, then I think our programs would start using more memory too. As a result we might end up needing more memory fast
