Elaborate?

It’s really scary how much money Uber/Uber Eats/Amazon etc sucked out of local economies.

Right and then forty years later everyonr with experience is retired and no one invested in newbies

Wow. I wonder if the airline can turn around and sue the bot maker?

Yeah it’s interesting. With no “busy” work there’s no career path to maintain the people with the knowledge of how to design, build, operate and maintain the AI infrastructure. Who will know what Garbage Out is if they haven’t spent a career doing the thing?

I’m more just talking about how the COOOL NEW THING attracts a lot of attention. Then an ungodly amount of investor money. And then dies. I don’t like podcasts and I don’t know a whole lot about their distribution, but the fact that they get funded like super bowl ads definitely means another shoe is about to drop.

It seems they are about to have their bubble burst. It’s probably the next wave of enshittification.

My favorite stage of Quora is when the monetized asking questions. Around this time I had too much time on my hands and showed up to help. When I realized I was making fractions of a penny, I turned to trolling the power users.

These guys were so insecure. They’d whine in their answers about how Quora should pay for good answers, not for questions that bring traffic. Nice try, but every tech bro is online and dying to give an opinion, so sorry, “good” answers is not worth paying for.

And when you would try to correct them or report their answers as incorrect they would lose their shit and try and report me 😂

Fun times. Like a dolphin watching a ship sink.

Imaging explaining to a jury:

A statistical model says that there is a 99% chance these two finger prints belong to the same person. We don’t know how this model works and it was not programmed by a human. We will be taking no further questions.

If the scope of “Ai” isn’t wide, I’d imagine the battery and cpu usage would be minimized.

You might have to learn and work slower, and spend more time learning any underlying math, but no, I would reject the idea that someone doesn’t have the mental capacity to code.

Sounds like superconductors for semiconductors.

It’s been both for a while

It turns out, when our entire society is built around products, peer pressure to consume becomes a major driving force.

Some foods do have specific, regional character. Is the milk or yeast from the next county over going to make a cheese that tastes the same? Idk but you can get very similar styles of cheese made elsewhere.

That all being said, I can see why calling same thing Parmesan when it’s not from Parma, is not entirely truthful, if consumers care about origin. Which in the EU they certainly do.

The title comes from the linked article.

If you read the article, the concern is how those disparate technologies are converging.

You get the picture. Robots—“intelligent” and not—have been killing people for decades. And the development of more advanced artificial intelligence has only increased the potential for machines to cause harm. Self-driving cars are already on American streets, and robotic “dogs” are being used by law enforcement. Computerized systems are being given the capabilities to use tools, allowing them to directly affect the physical world. Why worry about the theoretical emergence of an all-powerful, superintelligent program when more immediate problems are at our doorstep? Regulation must push companies toward safe innovation and innovation in safety. We are not there yet.

They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn’t sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.

Either way, we made our cans the “right” way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.

While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.

We mean the rest of the planet is wrong for thinking the US “liberal” party is not very far left? Or…?
