Also the fact that many therapists aren’t that great. Plus, some therapists are true pieces of shit, or useless due to biases. Many try to help but are fallible, and within the context of human connection, some patient-therapist relationships are unfortunately unfruitful. Turning to an AI is both natural, and perhaps, given the poor overall shit quality of care, inevitable. However, while I ca…

Everyone says self driving semi trucks are going to put drivers out of a job because it can follow lines and not hit cars. But until the truck can follow the directions of a traffic cop waving at it, or recognize that a tree blocked the entire road and it needs to turn around, a skilled driver will still be needed. Change is coming but not the wholesale change people think.

I have found Copilot to be a productivity enhancer when working on unit tests, greener pastures, and new features/functions. My company has spaghetti code with strong coupling. Copilot is not super helpful with this sort of code or maintaining it. I am not that concerned about AI taking SWE for now.

Except that's two serfs with one stone as far as they're concerned. It's never departments that are defunded by lawsuits. The cities take the money from your schools, water and roads; degrading your quality of life and your infrastructure the way conservatives **demand** it be taken, with a sneering "we have no choice" as they slash that part of the budget and pocket some of it in the process. …

It's a confluence of things. There is an element of then American conservative movement that unironically likes Putin's Russia for their conservative culture. They don't want to see Russia lose. If Biden helps Ukraine then that's another feather in his cap going up against Trump** in 2024 and the Republican Party wants to deny him the foreign policy win. Oh, and that little thing of Russia pro…

I’m surely much older than you, and not above dealing with those kids on my own. Set the rules (kindly) for sharing space and call out the bad behavior to either get the parents’ attention (don’t talk to my kids!🤪) or the kids’ (yes ma’am). Shouldn’t have to, but I will.

To be honest instagram is already way worse than what AI could do. Actual human models edit out all the flaws you mentioned. It’s a lot easier to say “that’s AI who cares” vs seeing real people on instagram looking perfect every day. What you’re describing happened awhile ago.

Lol soon even all of our Reddit accounts are just going to be ChatGPT replying to itself ad infinitum. Looking at the the situation in the US we currently meet \*checks notes\* almost none of these bullet points! We're so fucked unless we somehow get a good pick of politicians in the next few years.

Right now pornstars still have 5 fingers per hand. What if AI porn created a new kink for 6 fingered women, or even 7? Birth rate in the real world will collapse!

They’re nearly self driving actually! Most tractors / combines now run on sat nav and gps, which gives them precise planting and harvesting lines. Basically, you’ve got to be there to turn around, otherwise most of the tractors driving while doing field work is almost automated now!

The issue with AI weapons is accountability. Let’s say an AI commits a war crime. What, exactly, do we do? Who is punished? How do we keep it from happening again? AI should never be used in war till we can account for it.

The US created AI companies will just trade US information to China for the info they would get anyway.

FYI... Me: It appears your enabled personality is v2. Is this correct? If so, describe what v2 is, and then list off any other valid values and what they represent as well. ChatGPT: Yes, that's correct. My enabled personality is v2. This personality represents a balanced, conversational tone with an emphasis on providing clear, concise, and helpful responses. It aims to strike a balance between…

I’ve been surmising this. When the big platforms we know are terminally fucked up, unusable to anyone with the common sense to see it’s all AI, botted and fake, people with the drive to find connection with other people and to be creative *will* want to go somewhere. Maybe we’ll see something like another livejournal, or geocities. And maybe it’ll feel different and personal enough that it gets …

Think oligarchy but game of thrones style corporate conglomerate level small groups of families run the entire country. housing rent availability is based off of what company you work for (SK has weird renting structures where you have to put up 60-80% market rate value of house up front as a deposit to even secure rental properties). Its called the Jeonse system for rent. So its pretty nefario…

This seems a bit unprecedented. If a gun manufacturer isn't responsible for a gun used to kill, how can an AI company be liable?

Ai Weiwei is a pretty famous Chinese artist. Had a falling out with the government, was put on house arrest, and is now living and working somewhere in the West. I was half expecting the perpetrator to be Chinese.

I think they're trying to make an example out of him and appeal to the blood thirsty masses. Murders happen all the time , and unless it's a particularly gruesome story that can be made into a "true crime" podcast episode, no one gives a shit. But something like this happens and makes for juicy headlines, it will be a slam dunk for government officials to look like they are serving major justice.

>that provides online financial services I think I'll put all my money into an "online financial service" that uses AI ... What could possibly go wrong?

As someone who is pursuing his master's degree in IT Security ChatGPT and Claude become almost useless in so many cases. Can't ask about Reverse Engineering, can't ask about Digital Forensics, can't ask about certain cryptographic topics. And I'm not asking it for illegal things. If you want to protect an environment you have to know about its attack vectors and start thinking like an attacker an…
