It absolutely does not have misgivings. It's auto complete.

Skeptic. Reddit users might be an infection on the earth to some but they arent sceptic to my knowledge.

I want you to think about whether or not in the context of the post they meant skeptical, because they did indeed mean skeptical.

I also want you to think about whether it's likely that I did indeed know the definition of both words before I made my comment.

And then you have a nice day, ya hear.

We make a plan where you tell me Xyz, but don't mention other important factors to the plan. What I expect to happen doesn't happen. instant mood shift into anger mostly because I should have asked more questions and you should have planned better.

Someone existing in the same space as me can have nothing to do with me and I'll still find them distracting. Somehow they're sitting quietly by themselves talking but that chatter makes me want to turn my skin inside out it's so distracting.

You use a forklift to do things you physically can't do. This is a bad analogy. Even if you never used a forklift at all you'd still likely not have the muscle capacity to lift 500+ lbs pallets all day. You certainly couldn't just lift a tonne.

And you wouldn't use a forklift to increase your muscle tone, or build muscle.

Ok, there are definitely a lot of trades where things are still taught by hand in the event that you have to do them by hand some day. Doing it by hand does more than just re-enforce knowledge. It also teaches you new things and allows a process, and the space to re-evaluate and innovate. We improve by doing those things by hand. That is very often worth the cost. You very often don't get things quickly, cheaply, and with quality. The AI will degrade if we don't provide it with quality information to work with. It is nothing without our skills. We won't have those skills if we don't use them.

You talk like a businessman rather than an artisan or a creator of things, so perhaps your mindset is different but what happens when the AI breaks something and nobody can fix it because they lack the ability to think about the problem constructively or understand what the problem actually is.

But the majority of users don't have them installed. Plus Google is pushing Manifest v3 with intent. They aren't content with most. They want everyone to stop using them.

Ok. Look at it the other way. The person who can lift the heavy thing may not be able to continue to lift the heavy thing if they use the forklift all the time and don't ever train their muscles. Which is what the article is pointing out. Doing the task by hand re-enforces knowledge and skill. Over-reliance on a tool is a well known phenomenon.

Your Tralala?

Yeah. Hell of an overcorrection.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here because the point is, you're capable of doing the task, just not doing it in the same amount of time as a computer.

You chose a poor analogy to explain your POV. I'm pointing out the flaw in it.

Yeah. It may take a little bit for people to try to understand what it is about me that's different, but they are aware of it. The lack of eye contact an the rather constant exhaustion and inconsistent social niceties are tells even if I can mask it for short periods of time. The fact is my mask slips all the time but people may not always have the context to put together why. But they know something is off.

Police used a series of drive-by shootings as a reason to secretly install a bunch of flock cameras without telling the city counsel or the public.

It is unclear if the Mayor knew about the deal.

City council found out from complaints, investigated, and paused funding for the cameras until they could talk to flock about security and public safety concerns.

Mayor decided to declare a state of emergency to override city counsel.

City counsel is now suing the Mayor.

The cameras are still being funded and still operational.

Sounds to me like more public officials need to be recalled via non confidence vote. Starting with this mayor.

The US has the personnel to go through 5 years of every tourists personal social media history? I think fucking not.

If the AI Agent counts as an employee then the company "employing" it is liable for what it does.

My guess is the argument will be that "it's a tool", not an employee, and therefore they take no responsibility. Though I'm sure that argument is not going to fly for very long. If your air hammer harms someone because the person operating it wasn't using it correctly, you're still liable.

The irony of calling out Wired for "Dishonest Reporting tm" while saying this nonsense in your leaked memo is staggering:

But this isn't the first time in recent months that NameTag has been in the news. In February, the New York Times reported on an internal Meta memo in which Meta discussed plans to install NameTag into its smart glasses. In the striking memo, the tech giant noted that the ethically-fraught feature should ideally be launched "during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns."

So you know this feature is controversial, you absolutely do plan to release it to the public according to your own internal memos, and you have the nerve to call out a publication for explaining what the feature is and why it's bad before they explain that it's not currently implemented and you claim it won't be. Sloppy work, guys.

I bet there's some correlation there. After all, if you're religious you're a lot more likely to believe things told to you by a supposed authority figure. Still, correlation does not equal causation.

"Fertility rate drops" suggests that people are becoming less fertile.

The article itself says that people are taking measures to have fewer children due to cost, the economy, the political landscape, etc.

Infertility is not the same as choosing not to have children.

"Polling in recent years has indicated that the number of adults who never want to have children has grown, and that men and women plan to have fewer children than previous generations."

People find AI to be irritating because of its flaws and failure to deliver. They are also angry about big tech suggesting that AI will force real humans out of human spaces. The arts, media, research, science, the work force etc.

The "anxiety" is mostly fear of exactly what's being promised at the detriment of the people expected to fund it. Anyone who's got eyes and ears knows that the venture capital well will run dry eventually.

There is no return on investment for the vast majority of regular every day humans living in this world at this time. Not where AI is concerned. It isn't hard to follow what is being marketed to its conclusion. Tech Oligarchs have been saying the quiet part out loud since the begining.

AI will replace workers. AI will replace people who make art and music, and write things. AI will replace.

They even tell us they know it's a flawed replacement that they can't make better. And they pretty much tell us that they haven't found a way to monetize it so it's sustainable which basically means one way or another they will be looking for people to pay more for it.

People have started thinking about what that means and naturally they don't like it. Tech Bros are selling this dream of replacing us but we don't have any money to pay more for a product that doesn't produce anything worthwhile for the cost. Especially not if you're replacing them and there is no safety net.

Yeah. I've got an 870 that's still cleaning. It gets stuck under furniture and needs to be rescued at least once a week, and last week it lost its ass dustbin somehow mid clean, but it's still kicking.
