Until this year, you would have been right, but in May, the Erdős unit-distance conjecture was disproven by an AI. This required novel thought and reasoning, not just recombining already known facts. The view that they are only statistical

I do find it rather curious that on a site where people value discussion, instead of answering my genuine question, people just downvoted the fact that it was asked in the first place.

Nothing about AI will stop people doing the work that brings them joy, be it stop motion, or hand knitting a jumper from yarn you made yourself from shearing your own sheep. You just won't be able to get a job doing it. It will be a ho

I think for some people, it's partly that they think that, unlike physical work, work that involves thinking is somehow special, and humans are the only beings capable of it. In the 40s, the argument was that computers will never think

With the improvements that AI has made in just the last year, it should be obvious to anyone that code written by an AI will at some point stop being "AI slop" and be better than the majority of coders are able to put out. Reduced

As a developer who ditched Github and decided to self-host, there is only one reason. It's not technical difficulties, politics, nor AI. It's Microsoft. Like Apple, Facebook etc, I have a deep loathing for Microsoft and I want to

This sort of thing, being owned by Microslop, and some other minor things are the reasons why I left GitHub and now have a local Git running on a pi on my network. Code is tiny and Git uses hardly any processing to run, so a pi is fine. It&

What I am doing is correcting you on your asserting that my statement was "completely wrong from a concrete standpoint" You just said : "> When I'm in my home, I can consider that private and have a right to privacy A

You seem to be unaware of one of the British idioms used in language, it's called "A joke". Calling her 'the wicked with of the terfs' was one of those. I found it quite funny personally. I can find the joke funny d

Many people are using the words 'buy' and 'bought' here. That in itself shows people regard the interaction they had with the company as a purchase, not just temporary access that can be removed unilaterally on a whim. I

I just used the modern method for articles like that. I read the headlines, skimmed the prose that has no purpose other than 'it was what the AI put out', then read the conclusion. Similarly, I skip video content where the title i

OK, I won't bother trying to talk further with someone who thinks in false dichotomies and cannot understand that two things can be true at the same time. When I'm in my home, I can consider that private and have a right to privac

A space can be considered private by the occupant, but the addition of an IP camera makes it not private. They are not contradictory statements.

I see it more like that there are things you can do to make sure nobody else gets into your home, like locking the door. If your door is unlocked, either through ignorance or negligence, it's still not right for someone else to just wa

One of my projects was using a RRD database to store 10-second samples from 20 data streams with a RRD time of 1 year, which works out to around 82 million entries. I display this interactively on a raspberry pi and I used to use RRDTool in

I really did not want to change from 7 to 10. I did it begrudgingly partly because "It is the last version of windows". Well, they were right in one sense. It is the last version of windows I will have. I now have an old box set u

The way humans beat AI, at least until AGI, is to innovate conceptually. If what you do is simply rearrange existing concepts then your work will likely get replaced by AI. Coding is a good example of this, you put documented commands, with
