It's not spouting proper english. It's 2025 man. At least use an llm running off an old RX 580 or something. We deserve better troll bots!

And besides who can compete with Trump's 28 credible rape accusations, especially when eight of them were against children?! Joe Biden doesn't even have a single rape accusation.

People who have taken driver's ed still make damn foolish mistakes. As is Waymo currently has a lower accident rate per mile driven than humans do on average.

As such, I consider 'we were made aware of the problem and deployed a fix' to be an acceptable outcome. Much like a teenager who just upgraded from a learner's permit, they should keep improving.

As they keep identifying and fixing bugs, IE incorrect driving decisions, the rate should keep dropping until they're better than all but the best human drivers.

Because electricity is subsidized you nit wit.

And not just via direct subsidies but by externalized costs. Like the health impacts from generating electricity because we are still dependent on burning fossil fuels.

So sure if you want to charge them five or six bucks per kilowatt hour instead of 15 or 20 cents, maybe we will talk.

Except that's not what they want. They want to pay the same heavily subsidized price per kilowatt hour that a genuinely beneficial and useful business would.

They have about the same population density, around the same amount of roads by population, etc...
We can care because they make for a good test case, especially for the northern USA.

It's like how polling around 1k people should give pretty good results for any question for the entire country, within 3%. Around 10k people for a 95% chance of being within 1% (where exact methodology to ensure a true random sample may be more important).

Now, we shouldn't assume any experience will be 100% the same, but on average we should see similar results.

So Norway has a car for every 1.9 people, and the USA for every 1.2 people.
While a significant difference, it isn't like it is an order of magnitude difference. I also remember seeing figures that places Norway at around the same population density as the USA, and about the same number of roads and distance driven per year.
I'd argue that Norway can and should be examined to inform on actions inside the USA, especially northern areas.

I'm sure it will be used for that but there is a problem with channel owners having their likeness ripped.

It basically lets you steal channel content without lifting the entire video. That's usually enough to fool the existing detection algorithms.

I'm not sure who would watch those weird videos instead of The originals. But I've heard some channel owners complaining the AI slop is getting more clicks than they are sometimes.

In charge of tik tock. Remember when we spent 5 years being screamed at by people who yell TDS about Hunter Biden? Pepperidge farms remembers.

I know it's pointless to call them out for hypocrisy. They simply do not have enough self-awareness to understand the emotion.

But Jesus Christ people stop enabling these lunatics. At a certain point you just stop voting Republican

You need a platform. Because you have to control the platform so that you have access to the data that lets you differentiate between AI slop created by your software and actual users that you are using to train the next generation of AI slop algorithms.

So it's no surprise openai is building their own browser because that's basically the platform. The hard part is going to be getting anyone to use it.

Google could bombard you with ads every time you use their search service or email. Microsoft of course has their operating system and so does Apple.

Chat GTP will probably want to lock their software to their browser, which is a violation of various antitrust laws but we haven't enforced those in 20 years, but it's going to be hard for them to do that when other companies are competing with them.

I suspect that over time Microsoft and Google are just going to be the ones that control AI. And eventually one of them will buy out chat GTP and the other software companies out there that don't just go out of business on their own.

wait a week or two and the details will change completely.

Trump is nothing if not mercurial. His fans will tell you he's playing 11 dimensional chess... I have my doubts, but let's say that's true. The problem is that when it comes to the economy it's not chess. It's more like basketball, and the President is the point guard calling plays, except the play being called keeps changing before the players can execute the last call. It's a tough time to be running a business, you can't plan out more than a couple of weeks.

That would be fine if the population wasn't growing but it is. Birth rates are flat but it takes a few more decades before we really start to see that lack of growth in the population at Large.

This is why you see so much push against immigration. We're all competing with immigrants for a shrinking number of jobs.

That would be fine if the wealth being generated got spread around but that's not how it works so...

The problem is anti-immigration sentiment usually comes with authoritarian fascism. It's extremely hard to decouple the two of them and have a reasonable discussion because human beings hate nuance.

So for example we can't talk about how we gutted our programs for training doctors and nurses with the expectation of bringing in tons of cheap foreign labor for that because there really are rural hospitals that can't get doctors and nurses even if there are lots of them because it's kind of a death sentence for your career to work in the middle of nowhere like that giving out antibiotics.

So you can't for example say, no we're not going to bring in tons of doctors and nurses for cities and suburbs but yes we will bring in some or the rural communities that simply cannot get a doctor locally.

And we certainly cannot stop the defunding of higher education or the constant attacks on it. This website is filled with people telling you it's okay you can't afford to go to medical school because you can just be a plumber...

Because of our lack of nuance it's All or nothing.

And that's another problem that I see and I recognize but I don't have a solution for.

It's kind of frustrating to just see all these problems that are caused by human nature and be able to do fuck all about them besides bitch.

Because we didn't automate piloting vehicles we just changed the vehicles that were being piloted.

I get that you are coping with what's happening but coping isn't going to help you or anyone you care about.

This isn't something you can just use a thought terminating cliche to dismiss. This is real. This is happening. And if you're under 65 it's going to hit you before long.

If you're over 65 you might get to die before the ultra wealthy raid savings account and/or 401k and your social security and or pension.

And I just don't think people who have spent their entire life being told socialism is equivalent to dictator style fascism are going to accept that.

It's the old 4 to 14 problem. Anything you are taught in the age group of 4 to 14 sinks into your brain and you can't get it out without doing a process called deconstruction.

Religious extremists make heavy use of it but it works for basically anything

so when I first went into high school at the age of 14 I had a economics class that consisted of a few weeks of capitalist propaganda. I know it sounds ridiculous to call it that but that's literally what it was. There was no math there was no science and there's certainly were no statistics just capitalism fuck yeah!

At the time I just figured it was an easy A looking back I was being taken advantage of.

Is based on the number of customer service reps and the number of warehouse workers and the number of professional drivers.

Those are the current major targets for automation either directly using robotics or via llms and machine learning systems.

Taken as a whole it's a little more than a quarter of the working population.

There are plenty of other people who are currently facing automation like programmers and analysts and I don't want to minimize them because they tend to be higher income and are necessary to drive the economy.

But what makes the above three groups so terrifying is that they are typically people who don't have any where to go. They are already at the bottom. There is Farm labor but that kind of little teir Farm labor is really only about half a million jobs. It's not enough to replace the jobs of all the drivers and warehouse workers and customer service reps...

This means that when we automate those jobs there's just nothing for those people. Absolutely nothing. There is nothing on the horizon either. We have automated factories for the last 45 years so they aren't going back to the factories.

You might see a little bit of what you see in third world countries where ultra low wages that are just enough for people to get enough calories to make it to the next day means that people are used instead of machines. But that is a horrifying life.

Like those videos of people making metal buckets in China using incredibly dangerous machinery that will take your hand off in an instant if you make the slightest mistake and they work 12 to 16 hours a day 6 days a week.

That kind of poverty and desperation done at a global scale is going to create huge amounts of social unrest. Demagogues will take advantage of that social unrest but those demagogues are incompetent and they won't be able to manage foreign policy to prevent world war.

This is exactly the lead-ups to world war I and world war ii. We had two industrial revolutions that devastated the working class and it took a long time for new technology and frankly for wars to kill enough working age men to get us back the full employment.

And that was all before we had nuclear weapons. You are correct in Japan is xenophobic and that they are making heavier use of automation rather than import labor but the reality is even if they import labor that's just going to delay the inevitable.

We have been a civilization that if you don't work you don't eat for thousands of years and we are at the point where we are running out of work.

I do not know how to get away from the deeply ingrained cultural and frankly animal response to seeing somebody get food and shelter without working for it.

And that means we are talking about tens of millions of people we are just going to abandon the intense poverty and starvation.

Those people are going to take up arms against the people who still have jobs because that's what always happens.

And I think we all know what that means.

This race to the bottom is going to result in 25 to 30% unemployment. Once you get to those numbers it's only a matter of time before wars start. The threat of nuclear annihilation can only do so much. Sooner or later a religious nut job will convince people that God will protect them.

Before that the police will collapse and you're going to have bandits. There are 400k cops in America. When the economy collapses you can bet there won't be money to keep 400k cops. Even if there was they can't protect you from 40 or 50 million people with nothing to lose.

Remember you have to kill every single one of them but they only have to kill you once.

That would be a good time to get over all the culture war bullshit we are obsessed with and figure out a solution to this problem.
