That would be true if the world is hollow.
But we know it is not.
Yeah I think the human brain is a vehicle for “mind virus” which is script and ideas.
Are you interested in this from a philosophical perspective or from a practical perspective?
From a philosophical perspective:
It depends on what you mean by “intelligent”. People have been thinking about this for millennia and have come up with different answers. Pick your preference.
From a practical perspective:
This is where it gets interesting. I don’t think we’ll have a moment where we say “ok now the machine is intelligent”. Instead, it will just slowly and slowly take over more and more jobs, by being good at more and more tasks. And just so, in the end, it will take over a lot of human jobs. I think people don’t like to hear it due to the fear of unemployedness and such, but I think that’s a realistic outcome.
You might also be interested in the Panopticon.
In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.
If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.
Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.
I hadn’t read it before, and I thought it was interesting, and the article is still as relevant as it was back then. I thought many others missed it too. It’s also pretty well written.
People are in denial. AI is going to take programmer’s jobs away, and programmers perceive AI as a natural enemy and a threat. That is why they want to discredit it in any way possible.
Honestly, I’ve used chatGPT for a hundred tasks, and it has always resulted in acceptable, good-quality work. I’ve never (!) encountered chatGPT making a grave or major error in any of the questions that I asked it (physics and material sciences).
It depends on the country. There should be a local law in every country that says who can vote.
It’s only a matter of time until Google Maps will enshittify, too.
According to Robert Feldman, chief economist at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, the data fuels concerns about demographic shifts and a labor crunch in the country.
How the fuck is it his problem though? Is he personally interested in the well-being of Japanese people? No. Does he only care about maximizing his own profits? Yes.
I think that’s about as controversial as saying “We should abandon industrialized meat production”.
You can embed LaTeX math formulas in Markdown with $x = y$
on many clients.
Let me try: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$.
Doesn’t seem to work on Lemmy. Maybe a bug/missing feature?
also, we need 20h/week, 4 days/week schools.
It’s important for you to learn to set boundaries. And to block questions that you feel are hitting “too close to home”. So don’t respond. Just tell her that you have a private life that you’d like to keep to yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with that. You just need some time and practice to stand up for yourself. :)
I’m worried that she makes herself too much of a target by being so active.
Otherwise than that, fuck Israel, yeah.
We could have separate instances for the normies and for the femboy linux users. And then, everybody can choose which instances to block/follow.
Tbf, democracies kinda always suffered from this problem.
The italian long-term prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was a comedian before going into politics. And so was english prime minister Boris Johnsson. In other words, they were used to catering to audiences, instead of having technical training. (IIRC)
IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.
