You know cans are just plastic sacs using the tin/aluminum for structure right?

I’m not saying AI can’t be disruptive. I’m saying we aren’t there. The steady progress you think you are seeing is bought with increased processing power, the science isn’t advancing steadily, it advances in unpredictable jumps. Because the performance gained with processing power is reaching its peak, we’ll need at least another one of those unpredictable jumps for it to get to a state that will do what the comment I was responding to was claiming. It could be another 50 years before that happens, or it could be tomorrow.
The current AI boom is all based on a single paper from about 7 years ago, and has been achieved by just throwing more and more computing power at it. There has been basically no meaningful architecture improvements in that time and we are already seeing substantial fall off from throwing more power at the problem. I don’t think its a given at all that we are close to the kind of disruption you are predicting.
Science tells us how to achieve objectives, democracy what our objectives should be. (obviously this doesn’t always work perfectly in practice).
Depends on what you mean by unknown. The meme (and a lot of common understanding) doesn’t know what it means to be observed. There is a leading theory, the Copenhagen interpretation. The biggest theory in opposition would be multi-world.
People in every field tend to massively over estimate how easy it would be for other people.
Jokes on you, I just never stopped using SVN out of laziness.
The nature of quantum interactions being probabilistic could be some resource saving mechanism in a higher order simulation.
Laws depend on where you live, but in plenty of places its more or less completely legal to download pirated files, its almost universally illegal to upload them, when torrenting you are doing both.
If it succeeds, apple will pave the way, and then other options will emerge much like has happened with smartphones. There will be some FOSS version perfectly capable of blocking ads.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’ve been in large groups and texted with the person I was sitting next to.
While I agree there is a bright line between the two, especially when it comes to something that’s going to be televised, there is a bunch of relatively shady shit that happens lower on in the process to bad records and etc. For instance, there are boxers with hundreds of loses, where there is an unspoken agreement that they are always going to lose while making it look like a fight, if not a great one.
Wearing socks two days in a row is insane behaviour. Depending on the day, I might go through multiple pairs.
EVs are much better for the environment than ICE vehicles. Mass transportation is much better still.
Nearly everyone I’ve ever talked to that moves from a huge city to the middle of nowhere hates it and moves back if financially capable of it. Often in a year or two.
Well There’s Your Problem Podcast. They do have a news segment at the beginning of each episode, but you can skip past it if you want to.
I just accepted I’m not getting the information now; but a whole bunch of small creators will basically only talk about their content and schedule on twitter. Like if something is going to be late, they are going on vacation or they are doing an extra stream or etc.
