As someone who's admittedly anti-AI, what knowledge work does it replace? It seems to me it supplements some knowledge work, while outsourcing actual intelligence to the human operator. IMO it seems like most AI intelligence is just

If anyone were to share a link, you'd doubtless say it isn't thorough enough. Can you give any thorough scientific evidence as to why we should consider this unprecedentedly fast change normal?

In that case, we should definitely reserve judgement on the weird payment stipulations then. The oil industry probably hates that the government is doing this, and we shouldn't cast aspersions on them.

I misinterpreted you; I was arguing that he's already succeeded completely, so it doesn't matter if anyone gives him more money. But, IMO the reason they're still giving him more money is that they're stupid and greedy.

AI slop. Most of the things on this list are not open hardware, and some of the items are completely proprietary. For example, the SLAMTEC RPLiDAR A1 [1]. This part doesn't even have user-upgradeable firmware. [1] https://op

The command module and lunar module each had one AGC. (The lunar module did include a simpler backup computer called the Abort Guidance System.) I think this is because an AGC failure is recoverable in most phases of flight, while an LVDC f
