A weakened US, economically and culturally, is actually probably beneficial for the world in general. It encourages increased trade among nations that may otherwise not bother. And isolated and diminished USA gives an opportunity for other countries to form new partnerships. Especially countries like Canada that have hitched their cart to the USA for way too long.

Hopefully we will have improved renewables and are reducing or dependency on carbon-producing energy sources, by then Edit: words and stuff

If police are still using "lie detectors" to dictate their investigation, then they really don't need to be able to use facial recognition. I can already see the future where courts are using it as evidence and juries who don't understand science and technology are convicting people on it like they have for bite mark evidence, etc.

>which we already knew. tell that to the people on /r/worldnews who were screaming about how China didn't keep it under wraps at all and that you can't trust anything. Not sure if those accounts were brainwashed morons or bots.

I wonder how much censorship they will need to apply to this AI in order to keep compliance with China's laws... I bet this will be a huge mess.

>He actually sounds a bit scared there. That's what's got my attention about AI. People who are usually pretty calm and look at the long arc of history are scared about this stuff.

At this point there should be a long list of Russians who can never leave Russia again without being detained, Putin's name at the top.

A million startups can! All this boils down to is that there is **NO MOAT** in AI. I posted this below, but OpenAI basically spent a shit ton of money showing everyone else in the world what was possible. They will be unable to capture any of that value because they're spread too thin. A million startups will do a better job at every other vertical. It's like the great Craigslist unbundling. …

I upvoted your post because I think it’s an important issue to discuss, but at the same time I don’t fully agree with you. Ever since I started using AI on a regular basis, my social relationships actually became way better in quality, and I even noticed that I’ve got quite a few new friends, and making them became… easier. Partly because I use AI as my therapist, and together we keep methodica…

Big tech is pouring huge money into GPUs, data centers, and power, and cutting staff is the fastest way to balance the books and keep investors happy while they double down on AI. But if their big bets on AI revenue don’t pan out, the whole thing risks turning into a bubble that could crash hard. I personally think we’re already in a bubble.

Thanks for bringing this up. Indian offshoring giants are cutting staff like crazy too. Most folks don’t understand that whatever could be offshored had already been offshored before the AI hype. Why we see so much effort on offshoring again is because : 1. The AI hype creators sold the idea that offshore engineering + AI will actually address the offshoring issues. 2. In most American business…

My mom is teaching a similar level/situation and it is hugely frustrating and time-consuming because she has to give a defensible grade... Which means the students are plugging things into AI and spending no time on it while she has to minutely tag every factually incorrect thing in the slop. It is blatantly obvious who used AI and didn't bother to read the book. Names are wrong, relationships ar…

As someone who dreams of becoming an animator in japan, i literally hope that AI won't be able to learn how to do 2D animations because if it does, i'd feel like my whole life and talents just crashed 😔

I'm an engineer, 20+ years of experience. I do not expect from Ai to solve problems, even real humans with 5 years of experience must be guided by me, but I do expect from Ai to solve trivial or repetitive task or to make variations of guided solution, to compare them and to let me chose and fine tune solutions I select as the best in given frame of work.

Teachers works with empathy and discern. AI works with data availability and programming. One can’t substitute the other. Thinking happens with the amalgamation of human to human relationships and the correct use of technology. This is elementary common sense.

​@haroldgarrett2932imagine comparing a machine to a human. The problem isn't when you copy someone's work using AI or not, it's when you pass it off as your own. If you try to copy someone's work, very likely it won't be perfect and will take you a long time to actually make it. But an AI can literally copy everything perfectly all in a matter of minutes and even seconds and at that point it's al…

As someone from the UK i'm personally happy a trade deal with trump isn't happening. I can imagine his plan would basically have been to hold the UK hostage

Chatgpt is idle when not prompted. It has no purpose, desire, intentions, plans except what it's given. It doesn't feel rage, but choose to control it, nor love, but be too scared to act on it It faces no choices, it faces no challenges or end points like death. You're seeing shadows on the cave wall my friend.
