US public opinion is negative on AI. It’s also negative on Google and Meta (the rest of the top 5.) No condescension necessary.

I was there too. You’re forgetting internet addiction, pornography, stranger danger, hacking and cybercrime, etc. Whether the opposition was massive or not, in proportion to the enthusiasm and optimism about the globally connected informati

Yes, everyone wanted the internet. It was massively hyped and the uptake was widespread and rapid. Obviously saying “everyone” is hyperbole. There were luddites and skeptics about it just like with electricity and telephones. Nevertheless t

US consumers don’t go to the grocery store for “calories”. Ironic the side that likes to joke about the lack of choice in certain foreign supermarkets is going to create those conditions here at home.

All those arguments have been and are still being made for MSM and social media. AI is not being singled out.

Yes, there are many books written about the dehumanizing aspects of the industrial revolution. Consider we still place particular value on products which are “artisanal” or “hand crafted.”

That’s weird. What class was it and what was their motivation for telling you this?

So? Africa is not a single place you can generalize across in regards to sources of ethnic strife or anything else.

Now that’s some intellectually dishonest sophistry. The study on coping approaches shows how avoidance leads to maladaptive outcomes, but it also says that exposure in itself isn’t helpful either. What is helpful is learning how to process

Please don’t spread bad information about electricity. 15A at 110V is enough to weld your tool to the wires carrying the current. The mother probably got lucky and the neutral wire pulled away as it was cut and didn’t complete the circuit t

It’s also a country of crops that need to be picked by hand, livestock to be slaughtered, and other dirty, dangerous professions that its citizens don’t aspire to careers in. As recently as 30 years ago the pragmatic class understood this.

I realize that probably sounds insurmountable, but the practical upshot of that factoid is you can jam GPS with a handheld transmitter. Military jammers can be much, much bigger. As big as a 5,000,000x Loran transmitter even! I think in rea

So just move away from LOS sources of interference.

Because despite what they say the signals can still be jammed. Also your transmitters are massive targets for kinetic fires.

They feel threatened by a non-western ontology that prioritizes different methods of information storage and transmission, ones that seem incompatible with their own tradition of the computer database. To the poster below: The knowledge and
