Iirc there are mathematical reason why AI can’t actually become exponentially more intelligent? There are hard limits on how much work (in the sense of information processing) can be done by a given piece of hardware and we’re already pretty close to that theoretical limit. For an AI to go singulaity we would have to build it with enough initial intelligence that it could aquire both the resources and information with which to improve itself and start the exponential cycle.

It is visionary, just they’re the kind of visions associated with huffing fumes in a back alley.

Except you don’t need personal information, look at supermarket data, even when ‘anonymized’ it can predict pregnancy and even a rough geographic location based on what items are available at various locations/times as well as corelating your purchases with the weather.

But we’ve had 2D printers for longer? That would imply that its a simpler task, not having to deal with temperature and layer adhesion and all.

Its crazy how we now have 3D printers that consistently work every time with very little fuss but 2D printers are somehow still shit.

No one, the war didn’t start on October 7th it started more than 50 years ago.

Iirc the plague killed rats too so the rat isn’t exactly a willing carrier. Besides that logic works for human to human transmission too.

It doesn’t even sound like a reasonable study to undertake honestly, how many times do you comment on something just to say you agree? Mostly people just read it and move on, maybe upvote.

Even then ChatGPT would just give you an answer based on the wording of how you asked the question to try and agree with you.

Now its iirc 5 hours of jobhunting and applying every single day? You exhaust every opening within 50 miles in the first week. Though less so these days because every job demands you spend 90 minutes filling out a survey no one will look at.

Which is great until a couple years pass and art gets incredibly stale because the AI can’t innovate and has no new training data.

So your saying one will be able to avoid ICE by simply escaping on days when its raining?

Society prizes art above all else (its like 90% of what we remember about ancient cultures if you count stories as art) but hates artists with a passion.

Str: 11 (I work out a couple times a week and go on 2 walks a day which is more than most people)
Dex: 10 (idk so I assume average)
Con: 10 (see above)
Int: 8 (I have some memory problems)
Wis: 11 (I figured out how to learn things and get a tech job despite the above)
Cha: Are negative numbers allowed?

Eh it happens here in the UK too, ‘centre’ always seems to be ‘give the right wing half of what they want and the left wing nothing.’ which is really just right wing but slower.

Wasn’t the fairness doctrine right wing propoganda already? iirc the point was to give 1 anti-vaxer the same voice as every single pro-vaxination researcher on earth combined.

Agreed, the toxic assholes have been here since the beginning, everyone else is just finally pushing back.

I thought he was a used tesla salesman?

Cultural difference perhaps? I’ve always known it to be more specific, still roughly that but usually the replacement item is visually very similar and the victim accepts it after previously being shown a similar but non-shitty version. Like those black friday TVs you get in the US that look just like the brand name ones people expect them to be but are actually shittier electronics shoved into the same casings. The switch is meant to happen before purchase.

Yes but bait and switch has less negative connotations and implies some cleverness on the part of the fraduster. Nothing even remotely clever was done here, Tesla made a deal and then flat out broke it Trump Style.
