@twoeggsinmyfridge This has already happened many times. Well-known physicists and science communicators receive emails with new "theories of everything" daily. It got much worse with LLMs, because every ignorant schmuck now feels like a genius when an LLM tells them that there's something interesting in their "theory".

Ai is a tool. A mass data collection tool. A tool to spread dependence. And a tool to consolidate ans centralize power.

Remember! When you're a prompter, the robot is doing all the drawing; so that makes you the commissioner, not the artist. Till next time!

I'm waiting for the model that comes with an automated laser system that destroys the offender in these incidents

Yes, career switching and securing entry-level roles seems to becoming more and more challenging as AI targets these roles. I had a friend give up on the switch to a IT/ Cyber career for the same reasons.

THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME TOO, my mom uses ChatGPT and refuses to acknowledge the terrible effects it has on the world and people, 1 time my brother thought it would be funny to run my art through an ai generator after some traumatic stuff had already happened that day and I had a mental breakdown and cried for like 5 minutes after trying to beat his ass, my dad acts like he’s on my side but it’s s…

Irish are last on the list of preferred native English speakers for English teaching jobs in East Asia because their accent is considered undesirable by many students there. The "alcoholic nature" was probably an excuse to cover up the real reason which some cultures such as Chinese and Korean don't like to mention explicitly. Usually Irish aren't even listed in the list of acceptable nationaliti…

Does this mean that if I got a self driving car I'd be able to cancel my auto insurance and open a new policy with my car as the "driver"?

Unfortunately a lot of our voters are older, and easily manipulated by traditional media - i.e. Ruper Murdoch's values masquerading as 'news'. Who Murdoch wants in, gets in.

> I ask instead for a realistic path from here to there considering immediate obstacles that I've detailed in my other comments (fragility of technical complexity, slowing economic and technological growth, declining net energy, declining returns on resource extraction). I don't disagree here, we have a tumultuous couple of decades ahead of us. I'm most heartened by these trends in the price…

It's not getting a comeback, it's never gone away. There are occasional flareups, but it's endemic in a lot of areas, especially in the US southwest where it's in the local rodent population. Also worth noting that the last Bubonic pandemic ended in the mid-late 1950s.

You gave money to a homeless man that’s illegal. Jail. You j-walked 3 miles down from the only crosswalk. Jail You bumped into an individual on the way to work. Battery and possibly assault. Prison. You dropped something and didn’t notice. 300$ fine littering Then you start changing the parameters of facial recognition. You look angry today and have a history of being active. Deploying pe…

Hard to say. 鼓浪屿 is a pretty fun day. It’s the island off of Xiamen that is also called “piano island”. Lots of cool architecture from the European influence before the 60s, tons of food and a pretty chill aquarium.

Probably more from Amazon's investments in AI, fully self driving cars, and Electric vehicles as a threat to Tesla than Blue Origin as a threat to SpaceX.

What little I know of Australian politics (I live in the US) comes from friendlyjordies, and it's bewildering how liberals in the US are seen as more of a crackpot group on the fringes of politics, where-as my understanding of Australian politics seems to be that Australian liberals are just our Republicans right now?

If he actually starts delaying it, we gotta rise up. This is it, if he delays it, our country as we knew it is gone. We saw the effect of the BLM protests, and doing something in a mass scale like this I think could save us from a full descent into a dictatorship. We need to be ready for the worst.

Netenyahu hasn't said anything, but the Israeli opposition has, as has the alternate prime minister Gantz\*: [https://www.jpost.com/us-elections/israeli-political-leaders-congratulate-presumptive-president-elect-biden-648334](https://www.jpost.com/us-elections/israeli-political-leaders-congratulate-presumptive-president-elect-biden-648334) [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/benny-gantz-…

Exactly. Everytime someone makes this point, there's always people jumping on them with 'the market is an indication of where consumers think we'll be in 6 months". Who are these consumers who think we'll be in the clear in 6 months?

I work in a Las Vegas restaurant. Been called once a month. Yes it’s bad right now. Can’t even find a place to rent cause they require a stable job .

>The pandemic has been a financial boon to tech companies, and they are driving up the value. It's not the only reason, tech companies are just a part of the stock market, infact it's not even the main reason. Extra money is being printed + people are getting their stimmies and many people are working from homes as in from their hometowns atleast in my country and people have had a lot of ext…
