Post it somewhere else, this is for non-AI projects.

They have a big target on their back so the low hanging fruit is (mostly) gone.

Do you mean we'll input their brains with an alternate reality or just removing their pain and distress signals?

Regardless of the answer. Lab meat still seems more ethical, it was never a sentient being in the first place.

Now you can develop the lib in the direction that you need and you have people on payroll that do it, this seems like good risk management.

Who has time to do laundry once a day. That sounds crazy if you don't have small kids.

It doesn't seem like a good book. I would skip it.

It's a free book, he's not selling you anything.

That's pretty easy, don't use AI.

If you selectively read one sentence of my comment, you risk missing the forest for the trees. I don't have any particular knowledge on the arab spring so I won't comment on that but I quite clearly said that technology has good and bad aspects to it.

Do you think the genie will go back in the bottle and why?

What is it that worries you about the change that is happening?

Social media has never been seen as a universal positive force? It's the same with AI. It has good and bad aspects as does any technology that has an impact on this scale, AI will arguably have a much bigger impact imo.

People are generally against change that forces them to change the way they used to do things. I'm sure most will have their reasons why they are against this particular change, but I don't think it will affect anything. The genie is out of the bottle, AI is here to stay. You either adapt or you will slowly wither away.

Some people are just against change, that's nothing new. If Linus was like them, he would never have started linux in the first place.

I expected to see code since you link to Github, but I only see a zip file?

These fake engagement accounts are not very convincing and make me distrust your product.

It seems like you do need the smileys or the /s to understand when something is and isn't sarcasm.

Thanks! I had to go to the rest of your site to make sense of it so that seems like the right approach.

It would have been nice if the article explained what an optimizer is in this case?

Seems kind of pointless. If they wanted to they could just decide a retroactive date from when the law is in action.
