Math people absolutely are important to things like the SpaceX landing control systems, hypersonic gliders, 5G networks and so on. If you can make breakthroughs on such areas as fluid dynamics, control theory or information theory with AI t

So let’s say OpenAI cure cancer and put every cancer researcher out of work depriving them of intellectual satisfaction, this would also be a problem? It would certainly impact the field. The fact is these fields are supported by society be

If you internalise that AI might actually reach super intelligence then logically the question becomes "so what exactly are humans for if literally everything can be done better by machines?". Then mathematics and all intellectual

You have proved my point beautifully.

The absolute trolling that goes on here is related to the point. You are entirely capable of checking what I wrote but insist on trying to drag this out with straw men and misinterpretations. Of course people like you have a problem with AI

by mosura 15d ago
There's a general point here which is that the primary use and appeal of AI is to use it to avoid the negative side effects imposed on you by other people. The flip side is the people with the biggest problems with AI are those that su

That Google failed to turn Google Reader into a giant open blogging social network and instead created G+ is something we will still be wondering after Google itself has stopped existing.

The problem with Finder is historic. The classic Mac finder was a work of art, if you are the sort of person that arranges things spatially, but most programmers are not. Hence NeXT created something else which got merged back incoherently

You are one of the people I am on about. Here you are just wanting to appeal to the guidelines to shut down inconvenient but true statements, again.

It is kind of nuts how little attention this more-than-controversial-enough aspect of it gets compared to anything else, to the point people don’t even know this about it. I happen to hate Omarchy for the precise reason I don’t want that so

So you will defeat chat control by sitting there going “but you don’t have muh gdpr consent for that!”? The whole EU vision is they know what the little people do all the time, think all the time, and spend their money on all the time. For
