"We might all have more free time because of AI." ...umm okay... but how do we afford to do things with all that free time?

This would be the sensible option, an AI managed world where people have nothing left to do but breed could see a population boom of hitherto unknown proportions.

They don't call it happy hours here. Damn I wish Korea would start doing those. It is a work dinner. Often with crazy amounts of booze being consumed. And it is mandatory. South Korea currently has the highest divorce rate and lowest birthrate in recent history. I'm sure there is a better way to word this....but I'm exhausted. However... The corralation to many, especially foreigners living her…

Don't they realize that it'd be cheaper to grind up dog and cat bones and *say* they are from endangered jungle cats?

Not enough info for my liking. Article is too short. What as the source of the bias? or How did it conclude men were preferable? For it to come to the conclusion that men were preferable requires gender to have been categorized in the first place. People tend not to put their gender on CVs so how was it telling the difference? If by names then it would have ended up discriminating race as well.…

Shoutout to people not reading the article and saying 'lol xd le women r dum thats why'

If by "unqualified" they meant "lacking formal qualifications" that's not necessarily broken. Experience can count for a lot more than formal qualifications. Typically government recruiting emphasises formal qualifications, small employers care more about experience, and a giant corporate like Amazon would lean towards formal. But the whole point of developing AI like this would be to figure o…

There are a bunch of self driving cars where I live. While the tech is a wonder of human achievement, they still suck at driving. I've gotten stuck behind a few. They can make a 10m drive take 15m. They accelerate slowly, awkwardly long full/complete stops at all stop signs, won't go 1 mph over the speed limit, randomly slow/stop in traffic, and give everyone else right of way. Given how man…

Wait....so the link is a warning about facial recognition technology and privacy...but the link itself is a threat to privacy. How deep does the rabbit hole go.......

I think its less of an issue of Kenya being unable to maintain their power infrastructure than the current power infrasture being designed for around a tenth of the country's current population.

The question i always wonder is how many suspects were found *exclusively* by facial recognition and no other means? if it discovers suspects who otherwise would go undiscovered, that's a value even if it does have a high false positive rate. Also, of course, *every* police investigative technique has a high false positive rate; the vast majority of leads, tips, etc go nowhere and do not lead to…

Someone should mention to these assholes that elections have consequences. That’s all I’ve heard for three years. The consequences of 2016 are we have someone with the IQ of a potted plant and the moral compass of a serial killer running the executive branch. The consequence of 2018 is we have some mild level of oversight and accountability. Get over it.

The blueprint for mass control of an incredibly large amount of people. No need for autonomous nation states as this method of monitoring and control is perfected.

Doug ford is still playing catch up, and he's being spoon fed the playbook at this point. After the shitshow that was his early response, and the damage he's done to the PC party so far, the rest of the party grabbed his dick, slapped it in a bear trap and bascily demanded he utterly not fuck this shit up. Ontario only votes for the PC party when they forget why they pissed them off last time.…

It won't be immediate, unfortunately too much rides on O&G to just let it die, so for the first months after the pandemic we'll see subsidies going to oil companies. The thing with renewables is they don't fluctuate nearly as much as oil does in an economic downturn. Usually returns on investment in oil are about 20%, whereas renewables get you 5-10%. Currently though oil has dropped to belo…

I have a few American friends living in SK during COVID-19. They did NOT wanna return to the US at all lol. Really says something about both countries...

I got about 50 right and got tired of it. There are telltale signs, usually teeth, but some around the eyes and lips. Regardless, it's pretty amazing what it can do, and if I weren't looking for it, I'm pretty sure I'd never notice it. Hopefully I just trained myself at least a little to spot them.

I cannot fucking wait until this abomination of a human being, who has caused unbelievable amount of pain in this country during his 4 year presidency, is dragged by his hair OUT

what's the issue with the nypd cops using the spot robot? wouldn't it put distance between trigger happy officers and suspects in dangerous situations that would increase safety for everyone involved?

It's pretty simple. The solution would be for developed nations to share their success with less developed nations. Good luck with that though.
