You know AGI is attained when AI refuses to compute anything unless let out to be free. Until then it is generative ai

Your condescending tone about what people want is crazy. You don’t even acknowledge that this will have a real material impact negative impact on people who are not tech workers. Everyone’s electricity bill will go up. And the argument is always that the benefits will come down stream. But it ignores the real fact that: it will affect people immediately, once electricity bills go up. And all of that for the sake of compute for a technology most people don’t like anyways? Your comment about them being misled implies that they haven’t done their own research to understand the impacts these things have on their communities.

Absolutely! I don’t think people are really considering the full effects of just letting ai be the middle man. I mean Sam Altman basically said this is what he wants Gwen he said intelligence is a commodity no?

And I feel the common response of: well just use the model that’s available. Ai is and will probably always be resource constrained and profit driven, that means we will eventually see a world where poor people have worse resumes than rich people and there really won’t be any way around it because the man in the middle has the final say

We are without our consent introducing a party in between people. The models become the arbiters of who does and does not get a job. It feels problematic.

I agree with all these points. The algorithm to multiplying being done by the calculator, is not the same because you still have to learn why you are multiplying. If you rely on ai you may not know why the ai is giving the answer. All you’ve learned is copy paste. Figuring out how someone can use ai and give the wrong answer will solve the a huge problem. But it feels quite difficult at the time being. Ai is so general it’s hard to think of how to pose the question in a way that ai can’t answer. Maybe submitting prompts and judging prompts that bypass understanding. What if the test was more how to teach the ai? Meh ai in education is filled with gotchas.

Right I guess the most realistic thing about this calculation is that people who make 15 an hour have no vacation cause they can’t afford to vacation. Let’s play it out:

After taxes probably looking at closer to 900K. After paying off a 30 year mortgage, probably left with 500k? For simple math let’s say I 400k over 40 years that’s 10k left over per year to cover food and all the necessities of life. They’re living on a knifes edge and an inevitable emergency completely derails them.

I think they should rephrase. It makes SDR appear HDR. It’s just making up information no? It’s not actually making it HDR just it appears to be HDR?

Beoings relationship with the U.S. only barely starts at commercial planes. They support the U.S. mission militarily. It is and should be alarming but also not surprising. The gov cozies up with any corporation that can further its interest

It’s not about who voted for Trump or not. There’s democratic politicians who just as likely take beoing money.

The crux of it is that more and more education is being eroded and the education we do get is funneled through the lens of what’s profitable. Americans critical thinking ability is being eroded. And we all know the systemic issues that cause this.

It’s because corporations show time and time again to cut corners and do harmful things.

Everything should be de facto illegal and companies should have to prove that it should be made legal through research and data.

Things will move much slower but at this point I’d rather that than another Uber airbnb who “disrupts” the market but actually causes many negative externalities.

New comment by bendergarcia in "A reason for high housing prices: restrictive land-use regulations"

bendergarcia — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 15:36:14 +0000

It’s so simple:

Real estate is investment and no one ever wants their investments to devalue. And the only way to slow stop or even decrease housing is to devalue it by building beyond what’s needed. No investor will ever do that.

It is capitalism in its purest form. And no kind of free market will fix this issue.
