That seems true if you just ignore all the people it doesn't work for, and all of the externalities that come from it. Which is of course exactly how those studies work. They are sufficient to fool the fools, which is all they need to do.

The whole point of AI is for it to do work instead of us. Fantasizing about it creating new jobs for us to spend our lives doing instead of enjoying existing is really quite sad. We should be envisioning what we can spend our lives doing instead of slaving away for someone else's profit in hopes that we will be permitted to retire someday.

Better for who?

Yes, that certainly helped prevent civil unrest.

But now we're not going to have enough work for everyone to work full time, and the people who own everything won't let anyone have enough money to live on if they don't do that. Actually, they won't let lots of people who DO work full time have enough to live on.

Do you have a proposal as to how people can get their needs met without eating the rich?

That's always been a characteristic of AI believers. That's where the idea of the AI singularity comes from, magical thinking.

The encyclopedia doesn't explain how to make explosives because that's not its job. The anarchist's cookbook sort of does but it's dangerous to follow because some of the recipes are very bad, but even that has been determined to not be illegal. And some of the recipes WILL work, and those aren't illegal either. If you go to the library you can get a plan for a nuclear weapon or a gun.

It's not just information being provided, it's how it's couched. The LLM presents its bullshit to you as a gift in celebration of your intelligence.

Not true. We design tools with warnings to discourage misuse. We can design a software tool the same way. It can detect keywords and issue warnings. But you can't do it reliably at the LLM level because you cannot do ANYTHING reliably with a LLM, you need to wrap something around it.

If Grok could do what he claims it could do, he could have it write the software for him and not spend anything.

"The biggest problem with education in the US is the educators. There is no getting past that. Record spending per pupil"

Too bad you know nothing about anything. Educators are buying school supplies because they don't have enough budget to run their classes. If you actually knew any teachers you wouldn't talk this ignorant shit. It's administration and consultants that are eating up all of the funding.

Which explains bsky, what a bugfest.

Nothing triggers a capitalist douchebag who doesn't care about other people faster than hearing someone say that an economy should work for all its citizens, not only the privileged.

It might be, if demand weren't outstripping supply in most of the world.

As such, that's a truly crap pronouncement.

This is the age of AI-driven scarcity.

You're ignoring duress by society, of which both parties are a part, making it an inseparable party to the exchange.

Hahhaahahahhahaahhahahahahhahaha

How can you have any flan if you won't eat your menudo?

To my mind, if you paid directly, you should be eligible for a refund directly.

Whether or not that will ever happen is anyone's guess, though we know what this "administration" (i.e. attack by a foreign power) will try to make happen.

The majority of tariffs were paid by businesses, and then consumers paid increased prices, not tariffs. You paid a tariff. You should be able to get a refund. Good luck!
