So your definition of busy work isn’t “work AI can do”. It’s “work that accomplishes things that have already been accomplished before”. The latter is even sillier. Your position might be indefensible.

You spent a lot of words to conclude that energy is the difference maker between modern western standards of living and whatever else there is and has been.

The way I see it, it won’t take long before human eyes won’t be able to distinguish AI generated content from original. The only regret I have about that is losing video as a form of evidence. CCTV footage and the like are a valuable tool f

The idea of AGI is silly. It’s ludicrous. Who’s been counting on it to happen? OpenAI are in the money making business. They don’t care about no AGI. They’re experts who know where the limits are at the moment. We don’t have the tools for A

And of course why should they be able to enforce it? The government should have zero business interfering in private university application processes.

I’ve noticed that the most racist, ableist, you name it, individuals are the people who most claim to defend the group in question. I guess this might be because strong opinions are best formed from a surface level understanding of a subjec

Complete speculation, you’ve downed too much propaganda. Manufacturing is cheaper in cheaper countries because of less taxes, inflation, bureaucracy, and a dozen other factors that aren’t negative socialist bullshit. Their workers get by ju

All coding tutorials I’ve come across struggle with this. I couldn’t care less about some scripted video building a trivial piece of software, even if it’s pretty close to what I was going to build. The optimal coding tutorial in my eyes wo

My question was rhetorical, since I knew the previous poster’s position was indefensible. Whatever point you’re trying to make is also hilarious to watch. In democracy it does not matter what instincts were provoked to get the votes. Someti
