More Europe bashing here lately. Are you a bot?

Yes 50 years or 1000?

Current robots are toys compared to any capable human

This is not true.. you can chain smoke for hours if you get used to smoking. Drunk people do it all the time. When your nicotine addiction ramps up enough you'll get cravings to do that always.

50 or 100 seems unlikely. Even with all these improvements, custom setups and guardrails it just isn't that much faster for me.

I've done this by moving to Spain. It took literally years to get to a decent level and my partner is Spanish.

They haven't figured out what to do about climate change yet though. Why do you assume it is ok to power on and someone else will fix tye problems for us?

Claude's use of language is hideous at this point. It is verging on gibberish wrapped in important-sounding prose.

I don't disagree with your statement but you could insert other technological advancenents like railroads or metros or spacecraft in place of Ai here.

This isn't strictly true.

It it also where part of the problem might lie.

Nefarious humans making bad decisions.

Not everyone has accepted that.

Meta glasses are known as perv glasses. People are actively destroying flock cameras all over.

I've found writing small well defined tickets and getting Claude to work on them works well for this type of workflow.
