While he may or may not be accurate in his assessment at this time, he manages to gloss over any number of historical factors that have brought us to this junction.

Continuing to invest in nuclear is a good idea. There is money to do so and yes, the military provides much of that. And they control an immense amount of fissile material. Wouldn't it be great if there was a future where that material, which has been mined at great cost, refined at immense cost and handled at astounding cost could be used to benefit the populace that have afforded it?

The huge arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world only has one way to make its exit. I'd rather we continued to work on an alternative.

The training parameters will be the databases of info scooped up and integrated into profiles of every person and their entire digital footprint, queriable and responsive to direct questioning

That's not opinion, that's their position.

This is pretty reasonable considering

It is quite appropriate to call such declarations dubious.

Your explanation is fine, however, this 'no evidence' refrain that has been used to mislead the public has gone on long enough. At this point when that is in print the assumption may as well be the opposite.

Every sensible person can see that children are not developing as they have in the past and the clear major difference is full attention grabbing effect of media. But no, no, it isn't the 'screen time'

This is a hypothesis and one that seems poorly born considering quercetin is available over the counter as a supplement and in no way causes headaches.

It is however, amazing at bolstering the immune system

The initial point misses a fairly significant consideration though. A huge number of advancements are publicly funded. That public funding turns into private profit. People largely unaware of that fact, recently were made aware with the massive vaccine development spending that led to record shattering profits for pharma companies. To cite just one prominent example in the last few years.

Edit: shout out to text only

This alone is such a wildly unfounded statement. Maybe the author is a typical, academic soft body.

I couldn't really keep reading beyond this point as the author is comically uncritical of their own beliefs

Humans are wildly dangerous, vengeful, intelligent and resourceful.

Your take seems to narrow the application of AI chat down to customer service.

Taking a broader view, AI chat or really LLMs have a very wide range of applications. As discussed in the article, script and code producing AI is not meant to be "read" so much as utilized post generation.

Either way, the reality is that just like any other advancement, this will slowly start to become integral to many business networks and workflow models, all having no interface with the consumer. The current fascination is wearing thin for the unimaginative who've asked a few generic questions to ChatGPT and then failed to recognize any applications of that product in their own life.

All the better, but the more products built now means the more likely something is produced that niche markets are looking to buy.

Poor people will stand up and walk inland.

The rich will do anything they can to convince everyone else to pay for their property losses

Seperate news reports include claims that the company was "developing COVID19 tests" among other things. This could very well have been funded through pandemic relief grants.

The owners of the building claim no knowledge of the goings on there.

Clearly they were engaged in some nefarious work with extremely minimal safety protocol.

The 10% that do all your work for you?

I guess that's seems pretty shortsighted. When I go to work, I expect the asshole (that just watches me get shit done) to be decent company, worth a laugh or really willing to grab things I need.

If you can't bother to 'pretend' then I'm going to stop pretending for you too. I guess we'll see who gets to keep getting paid.

You know, have some decency.

I'd be glad to see more information as regards the conditions which lead to that conclusion

Adoption of greenspace and far more solar panels in Phoenix could significantly cut down on this phenomena.

People will sit and argue the carcinogenic potential and completely ignore they're discussing poison. As if cancer is the only factor that could be of concern.

Notice your comment is down at the far end of the pile, while above psuedointellectuals fiegn insight into FDA & WHO motivations.

Endocrine & hormone disrupting, toxic compounds, but wait for it, hasn't been studied yet -> "there's no evidence" of harmful effect -> food safe

EU already banned a whole host of additives the US public gladly gorges on because we want red drank

Also, everything is waves

The new claim is that population die off caused the Little Ice Age, thanks to disease and 'genocide'... 55 million out of roughly 500M.

If you buy that, you can't really deny the impact of the population increasing to 7.5B.
