Being right all the time isn’t always so great…

Mostly not very much but I think who I socialized with and where I chose to go to college were things that had a big impact.

Maybe you should disbelieve. Studies show 82% of unsourced facts shared online were false.

It’s kinda true though lol. Most people are naturally horny and creepy but socialization teaches us to respect people’s boundaries.

The worst part about him being sick is you know as soon as he kicks the bucket they’ll find someone even worse to replace him.

Very good news. Insane that mass surveillance traditionally had bipartisan support. Could that be starting to change?

You gotta think there’s something wrong with people who voluntarily choose to drive in NYC when there’s so many better options.

I can’t wait for republicans to announce that Trump invented the hamburger.

I see. I agree there are definitely a lot of niches I would enjoy that are missing, but I do enjoy what is here for the most part.

Why would patients want this “solution”?

That said a more realistic version would be replacing diseased organs this way.

Really? I would not say that personally.

Sounds a bit like Lemmy lol

Misleading clickbait title but still interesting article. I blame the editor.

Yes, that’s correct.

Wow I never heard of these assholes. Hope I never make their acquaintance.

Yeah I feel like people are just upvoting the headline here. If they read what it actually meant they might not like it so much.

Yeah I’m not saying it’s barter, but OP’s comment didn’t mention it at all so I thought it was important to talk about.

I haven’t read his book but my understanding is that while there were means of exchange in many societies, the foundation of most pre-historic economies was the gift economy.

Unless you are counting that as a form of exchange? It was typically reciprocal in many ways.

I personally don’t think the concept of stolen IP is ethically coherent. Ownership of ideas is a ridiculous concept. So I don’t find this to be a very compelling argument for why AI is bad per se.

However, I do think it strengthens the argument that it should not be the intellectual property of tech oligarchs who did not create the vast breadth of knowledge that the algorithm is sorting through and accessing.

I’m not an expert but my understanding is most of the computation is in the training. The actual queries are not too difficult to manage. So I think that’s what makes it more difficult to monetize because you’re trying to position yourself as a digital gatekeeper for work that has already been done. Yes, some industries have survived in this position but it limits the amount of profit you can make because there are always ways to copy someone else’s homework. So if prices are too high people will opt out because they have other options even if they’re slightly less quality or convenience.
