It doesn't need to be AGI to build complex software. A human software developer can build a complex software system and perform other complex tasks with the same body (play an instrument, fly an aircraft, etc.). Doing all of that with

I'm certain it boils down to money. Someone like you (fluently bilingual) would provide the best translation but also the costliest. Every other option is cheaper, and Youtube will strive for the cheapest available. Google Translate an

We don't know if AGI is even possible outside of a biological construct yet. This is key. Can we land on AGI without some clear indication of possibility (aka Chappie style)? Possibly, but the likelihood is low. Quite low. It's es

I've personally come to the conclusion that the novelty of the thought process is a big factor in recovery. Simply put, if I reach a conclusion that takes a rather unusual road through my mind, it's much harder to get back to afte

More cash automatically means more taxes. It gets reported as salary. Payment in equities is essentially a tax dodge as the only time they're taxed is when they get sold (capital gains).

It's time to bring in legislation that limits what percentage of total compensation can be comprised of equities. It will cap the TC package and somewhat disincentivize short-term stock price thinking that currently dominates the board

These commercial tools are often odd-shaped (this one is a foot and a half tall) and not dishwasher friendly. Even if you found a way to somehow fit it into the dishwasher, the jets may not reach the blades.
