Thanks for sharing. It helps after seeing so many edgy "don't let the door hit you on the way out" type replies.

My oldest is on the tail end of Gen-Z and is vehemently anti-AI. This isn't a position I've been vocal about, she just kind of expressed her disdain for it one day. I've been in IT a while, and am more of an AI skeptic - but

If you could increase rotation somehow and place a moon sizes object in it's orbit, maybe you could improve the magnetosphere and reduce volcanism by inducing plate tectonics.

Oh, I hadn't considered the waste of bio-compute modules. Will they need to nap as well? On that note, I'm so glad all my kids are past potty training.

This is where I'm at as well. I don't think we'll see true AGI until we go beyond silicon. It can't grow on it's own, and we'd burn the world down trying to get it to scale. A living bundle of neurons that can

That's a shame, I've always had a thing for Neo-Geo and SNK games. He won't get a cent when I play on my MVS carts on actual hardware, so there is that.

The thing is, you have LESS freedom of movement in a car dependent society. You lose that freedom of movement if: Your car breaks down Your car gets stolen Your car gets totaled You lose your license You can't afford insurance You get

Saying that a type of individualism is toxic, doesn't mean that all individualism is toxic. Did adjectives change somehow?

Those are all enormous benefits to you and you alone. The greatest thing about cars are the things they do for you. In order for someone else to have those benefits, they also need a car. If as a society, if we could feel the same way about

No - human learning is still something special in this world. It is a gift of time and effort, from both the student and teacher. The ability to be inspired by other works and draw from them, not merely imitate them. You can ask any human m

We've all seen the video. You are working so hard to build and manufacture the narrative that fits in your mind, to the point where it can justify the actions of the officer. There is no justification for shooting a woman point blank i

Many people don't care because it sounds like music. It sounds like music, because it was generated by a model that was trained on actual music. It is music that has been chewed up and regurgitated. It provides no benefit to the actual

You seem to be conflating natural beauty and the arts. Just because something beautiful can be created without emotion, that doesn't mean it's art. It just means something pleasing was created. We have many species on earth that a

Yeah, seeing it just once it looks like an ad with a terrible premise. It certainly has an AI feel to it though, and I'm sure the more times you see it the more it falls apart. On 1st watch the part that sticks out is the couple sittin

This is how I (also as a layman) look at it as well. AI right now is limited to trained neural networks, and while they function sort of like a brain, there is no neurogenesis. The trained neural network cannot grow, cannot expand on it

That's the most annoying bit, they target you with an ad when starting just a 1-2 minute video. They present the ad in the most intrusive and annoying way possible. It ensures that I will either ignore it, or never purchase that item o

Same, I ended up with a Kia Niro EV (previous gen) because it doesn't resemble your typical bleeding edge EV. It shares a platform with the ICE Niro, and aside from the charging port and obvious lack of exhaust pipe it doesn't loo

My inner sci-fi geek tells me that by this time, we discover faster than light travel, only it isn't compatible with life as we know it. So we ship off these receivers to circumvent that limitation. Instead of travelling ourselves, we

Agreed, but it was indispensable when I was learning VMWare over a decade ago for work. Having a free version I could tinker with at home was very useful. This is just going to kill whatever hobbyist user base they did have, and make it har

The blindside being the unique tone of the episode, compared to what came before it. It still has silliness and is a fun watch. Some things that I think make it hit differently: * The house and most scenes are dimly lit * You see the family
