I lived in New York 2004 to 2009. 2006 I think there was this epidemic in cases when I say everyone had kids who were autistic I am not even exagerating. I was one. Was like a movie I dont think I could exagerate what happened it was everywhere all at once. It was vaccines everyine knew it everyone still does. These people are liars. They were then they still are dont believe them.

Why do you believe that like if you are measuring it maybe you are doing it wrong. Seems to me that we need this light fastest X to hold up a load of physics even when there has been recently numerous experiments which challenge this premise.

I don't think it's going to make a difference over a generation or two. If it did we'd have a society of high achievers and no achievers. Rags to riches and back in X generations. The people doing drugs and falling out with society may themselves be high achievers too Drugs drugs casts a wide net. You'll get older and unwanted and stupid like the rest of us. Then you'll wake up. Hopefully when you do you're not on your own.

There is a tribe of people who carve bots out of trees using their hands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugout_canoe. It stupid to waste time doing something a computer can do reasonably well. IMO

For me it's kind of weird right it's like no one can see the bigger picture. All technology's going to be eaten by AI so companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta ... are middle men in an industry that's disappearing. No one's really going to use a search engine when a chat bot can do a better job. No one is going to pay for software when the AI can do the whole process better at a proper command. All technology and the companies in it are essentially horses and the related roles in a time of cars. That whole slice of the economy is at best going to reduce year on year eventually to disappear. No replacement AI is it.

People can't see the exponential. That is why they think there is time. There is no time. Current play goes like this double the size of the stock market asap think trillion dollar new companies. Increase revenue through increased capital gains. Hope that this works before a forced default.

Because there are so many different jobs all over the place. Job boards are full of people crying out for help. Every morning I wake up to a literal sea of emails from hiring managers looking for my aid. I only choose those jobs that look interesting and only work with the people who pay and treat me well. /s

Sun is white light. Wonder what that means. Brightest object in out awareness is modeled as clean white. Or is this the actual basic color.

I am sure if these guys worked on it they could have better PR. It is like AI is the modern version of the oil industry.

Is that ever the case I think we believe in it as an ideal but never see it. For instance a doctor in Pakistan that moves to the usa and ends up driving a taxi.

The light from the sun is white so with all these anomalies would the color of this light not change even slightly.

Is it just me or is this a pervasive pattern in hackernews... Someone makes a point then someone makes a contrary point and the conversation spirals off with nothing to do with the original post or concepts. I particularly notice this in more controversial posts on politics.

Does it not end. Like is there not a point with all this speedups and infinite intelligence that your software system is essentially done.

Seems like you are breaking the contract with your peers. There are lots of reasons to reject AI generated work.

You are deceiving your peers who you have accepted as being the managers of the approach to this work.

You cannot realistically justify this fraud. You should own up and stop contributing.

Please note I say this as a person who only write AI code. Even if you query your AI it will say the same thing.
