You don't automate jobs, you automate tasks. In the very near future any CEO worth even a fraction of their compensation will automate most of their day to day tasks, and will use AI to better accomplish things that are currently hard.

The idea that tumors develop their own tumors, suppressing cancer is known as the Hypertumor Hypothesis and, while it works in computer models, there isn't actually any evidence backing it up. The hypothesis doesn't really resolve

Our L1 defense is actually incredibly good. A human will undergo about 10^16 cell divisions over the course of their lifetime. Around 10^3 to 10^6 of those divisions will result in a mutation that gets past the L1 defenses and need to be el

In my experience plenty of places are quite inefficient at doing the wrong things as well. You might think this reduces the number of wrong things done, but somehow it doesn't.

They are very clearly not. Humans are good at some things, like recognizing fruit in clusters. Robots are good at different things. Shifting from easy for a human to harvest to easy for a robot to harvest is both in theory and practice a ra

Nope, it's a technological issue. Increasing immigration might address some of the symptoms of the issue, but it does nothing to address that a human being still needs to do this labor. Frankly even if you were to liberalize immigratio

Determining intent takes time, is often not possible, and encourages people to specifically avoid the work to check if something needs to be flagged. Not checking is at best negligent. Having everybody check and flag is the sensible option.

But things correlated with porn != porn and things correlated with children != children. For example, in our training set, no porn contains children, so the presence of children would mean it's not porn. Likewise all images of children

I don't think AI training on a dataset counts as a view in this context. The concern is predators getting off on what they've done, not developing tools to stop them.

The issue is that when you make ignorance a valid defense, the optimal strategy is to deliberately turn a blind eye, as it reduces your risk exposure. It further gives refuge for those who can convincingly feign ignorance. We should make to
