Comment The only reason... (Score 1) 65

...that use is even as high as it is is that google shoved their, often wrong, AI summary into the top slot on searches by default. I wouldnt necessarily call the current AI landscape a fad, there's plenty of good uses for LLMs, but the current trend of "shove AI into everything" feels a lot like the whole "shove blockchain into everything" trend from a few years back but a lot bigger, and I think people are kinda getting sick of it

Erm..
1) the public pension basically the same as the average social security check in the US but there's also universal healthcare, which is the overwhelming cost problem for most American seniors, and better renter protections which is the other major problem for American seniors
2) it's in *addition* to mandatory employer paid pensions for most folks
so, in reality, a lot more bang for their buck than here for that 45%

What does *he* envision a hypothetical scenario where AI has taken over an extremely large amount of the labor?

I'll grant that it is an *unlikely* scenario, but should it come to pass that we manage huge reductions in the need for human labor, and large chunks of the population pretty much have to 'stop working' whether they like it or not, what does he imagine the outcome?

Make an argument that AI isn't going to be *that* game changing, sure. But I really dislike the argument that humans don't deserve to get by unless they are somehow needed for work. Everyone do their part, but if there aren't as many parts to be done...

Particularly rich from a spoiled guy who hasn't had to *really* work a day of his life...

Probably for everyone not rich or in a job to service the rich that AI cant do to "die and decrease the surface population"

First of all itâ(TM)s closer to 10 months of direct active work, teachers usually have faculty weeks before and after the school year, second of all itâ(TM)s really 12 months because most teachers spend most of the summer doing professional development/continuing ed and class prep work, third of all that number is very skewed by a few places where teacher pay happens to be very good, at least after they hot a decent level of seniority, like NYC, the majority of teachers arent making 84k or more. My wife is a HA science teacher btw, Iâ(TM)m a software engineer, she works 3 times as hard as me for 1/3 the pay

Calling out Apple of all companies here is interesting considering that Chrome was originally a fork of Webkit, Apple's framework, the form of KHTML that eventually replaced KHTML in its open source uses and is actively developed by Apple and the community today. I'd argue Apple's been far more benevolent overall to the public web with WebKit than Google has with Chrome at least

Thatâ(TM)s a touch misleading, MacOS is at 5% when mobile devices are in the mix, which means combined with iOS Apple hits 22% for Darwin, which is far higher then they ever were in their dark ages. On general purpose computers MacOS is at 14%, which is also far higher than they had then.
