Damn, even with inflation? You must be super on guard. That being said. I will turn on my A game to shave $0.50 off of a set of coasters from a tourist shop while on vacation.

How many is a Brazilian?

In terms of practical commercial uses, these highly human in the loop systems are about where it is and there are practical applications and products build off of it. I think what was sold though is a much more of either a replacement of people or a significant jump in functionality.

For example, there are products that will give you an AI summary of a structured or fairly uniform document like a generic press release, but there’s not really a good replacement for something to read backgrounds on 50 different companies and figure out which one you should invest in without a human basically doing all of that work themselves anyway just to check the work of the AI. The latter is what is being sold to make the enormous cost of hosting and training AI worth it.

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We’d empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

The issue is AI is just too broad of a term. It’s also not a magic bullet and comes with its own problems so it’s not even the best tool for the job many times.

It’s easier said than done. A few key pieces took decades to figure out and even now many can only be produced by one or two companies, like ASML.

In this case yes, because transportation workers have special protections, but it can just as easily apply to strip transportation workers of rights given to bakery workers in different circumstances.

I think it’s kind of neutral.

I mean this is criminal negligence that lead to many deaths. I’m not a fan of the death penalty but they should be held as liable as a drink driver or someone who skimps on building materials and kills someone when the building collapses.

Regardless of what one might think should happen or expect to happen, the actual psychological effect is harmful to the victim. It’s like if you walked up to someone and said “I’m imagining you naked” that’s still harassment and off-putting to the person, but the image apps have been shown to have much much more severe effects.

It’s like the demonstration where they get someone to feel like a rubber hand is theirs, then hit it with a hammer. It’s still a negative sensation even if it’s not a strictly logical one.

Careful, sounds like that one might foam up out of the bottle.

He brought shareholders value by getting people pumped to buy the car.

From the perspective of his daughter who knew George Carlin personally, I can see how this would be disturbing. It’s as if someone strung up a dead relative like a puppet and put on a show.

I think in more abstract terms from someone who just saw his standup, it’s a fun novelty as long as they’re not profiting from it or misrepresenting it.
