More importantly, how do we keep everybody alive and cared for when all our systems are built around needing a job to survive when we then don't even have jobs to do for more than a quarter of our population?

Absolutely more. This takes very hard and challenging work and turns it into nearly nothing. This reduces decades of skilled labor and education into an algorithm. I'm not undervaluing industrialization, but the improvement in producti

My wife is a novelist who widely participates in fiction writing communities, and a lot of competitions have had to stop taking submissions entirely due to AI work flooding all the submissions. There's been drama on and off recently wi

How many jobs lost and how many created? On this track, we continue to toil in the dirt, unless we figured out how to automate all the farming too. In fact, it looks like we're automatic all the fulfilling jobs and only leaving toil fo

We've had big advancements before that allow people to do more with less, but this is a staggering leap. The jump from "you need to get a whole bunch of people together to practice and play music together" to "one person

This wave of AI has the power to be incredibly transformative for good, but not given any of the current economic or copyright systems we have now. I don't know how any of the proponents can pretend that this isn't an abject disas

One of the main points of concepts is to make template error messages much better, and for the most part it's true. Concepts error messages still suck, but they tend to suck much less than non-concept template error messages.

I've done some pretty involved concept work. I made this CBOR implementation that heavily uses concepts: https://github.com/absperf/conbor/blob/main/conbor/cbor.hxx (Warning: I abandoned this

English is highly non-phonemic. It's not absurd. If you considered English phonetic, you'd have to consider almost every modern language writing system phonetic. The distinction wouldn't mean much.

I disagree. Information is not property, and should not be treated like it is. If food could be copied as trivially as ideas and data, it would be immoral to let people go hungry. If homes could be copied so trivially, it would be immoral

It's interesting that its conclusion is totally wrong. It's closer to 2^30 than 2^24

I don't think it's that strange. It's a scientific notation with the signed exponent around 0, so (barring special cases like NaN and infinite), it will be divided roughly in half around the pivot of 2^0 for both signs.

It's so stupid. I have a 10 year old son. If I died today, why should he have the right to try to profit from all my creative output until he's 80 years old? I get leaving the fruits of creative work for your progeny so they can h

The same applies whether it's somebody else's or your own. Is it significantly more creative to continually milk a character you made 40 years ago? How about a character your company made before you even started working there?

I'm a cynic at heart, but I'm also a pragmatist. Somebody doing the right things for the wrong reasons is still doing the right things. I care about effects more than motivations.

There isn't really "the universe", but a handful of official universes and all the universes created by innumerable running and finished campaigns. D&D isn't a game, and doesn't have a single canonical universe.

That's not what UBI is about. The risk you take to pursue innovation shouldn't be the threat of complete personal financial ruin that you can't get out of for many decades. It doesn't matter how confident I am in my vis
