Sounds to me like a situation where the noise problem coincides with many other problems. Such as noise caused by polluting devices or noise caused by bad neighborhoods or low income places where everything is allowed because they can't fight back.

Not that poor sleep doesn't slowly lead to many problems we are still uncovering. How does one separate out the many negative factors that go along with the noise?

Thank you for saying it.

Problem with it is that reason has no place in the USA.

People like you help the enemy. Reasonable descriptions are fine. This is reasonable.

To complain in this post-truth age where facts no longer matter and reason is under assault; by extension, it has spread into direct attacks on education itself. One of the few things the USA does well and responsible for it's huge advantage is being destroyed at their own peril - it's that insane. You are complaining about literal interpretation of "forever"? WTF is wrong with you?

You think somebody loses credibility by not using exact numbers? TODAY? so what about margins of error? and you must always fall for the "lack of scientific consensus" which always exists if there money to bribe 1 outlier.

Nuclear is NOT cheap! It's expensive and I've yet to see proof these next gen solutions actually work out; as is often the case, they play games figuring the problems will be fixed later by people in the future. It is not hard to find data on the net costs for nuclear and how we ignore the socialized RISK it has always had. Nobody will insure the things for good reason. If the government is essentially the insurer; then it should own and operate it like the military does! If we required this, then we'd not have grifters ("investors") heavily promoting it likely resulting in far less of it.

As far as powering crypto and AI with it, neither one are likely to be a net benefit anytime soon; except for the rich who exploit and own it.

No time to look at 100 concepts. the AI could do most of that given prompts that take less time than getting the artist to your office... or if you include the directions to the artist then waiting I'm sure skipping them is faster. How about the artist looks over 100s of ideas and only brings the you the top few to decide since they are supposed to have taste and you are just the boss.

I could see a good IT person rigging up an AI to take a feed from the staff meeting brain storming the project and generate images live while the meeting is ongoing. That would create a faster more productive situation; possibly. The artist could play with that during the meeting.

Anyhow, I'm not saying having somebody managing appearances isn't useful but that you could do with just 1 person in that job. I don't think throwing more output at them would necessarily be a huge benefit... for ideas, 1-2 people is plenty. For cranking out results once the decisions are made, then a schedule and money decides how many artists are needed -- and for that aspect of the work the AI is a force multiplier where you use the 1-2 people to replace dozens. Or nothing changes and now you shorten deadlines because your highly productive artist makes that possible. Faster to market and no labor changes is another option. It also could mean they are done sooner and do not need to be employed as long so they become gig workers...

You must not have noticed the last few years of layoffs?

Companies are NOT hiring people because they wishfully think AI will eliminate some of the jobs. So it already has cut jobs but they don't show up because those are future jobs; also masked by economic conditions.

Higher productivity = less labor = less jobs. Productivity gains doesn't increase labor, it reduces it and almost all of that goes to the owners too.

An artist can take a day to make it from scratch or they can prompt engineer and modify AI output. Hell, we don't even have AI brushes that auto-complete what you are painting yet.

Science nerds are interested if the scientist Pope who advocated UBI and vaccination to his billion followers died.

The Pope was a scientist and advocated for UBI aside from being influential in an organization that practically defines conservative opposition to change.

Vance is toxic to anybody with some decency and intelligence. His supporters lack one or the other or both.

I'm sure he'd raise my blood pressure and I'd lose sleep over confessions about couches he's had sex with. Neither would kill be but I'm not recovering from a near death experience at 88.

Since Trump didn't actually pick Vance for his VP, it's not his fault Vance killed the Pope.
Vance DID force a private meeting for a photo.
Vance IS an argumentative dick that nobody likes.
Vance went so far as to cause the Pope to publicly rebuke bullshit he said in the past.
Pope's last published statement:
"Today's builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of hell"

I'm frankly surprised some mayor hasn't been bribed into selling ad time on the things long ago!
"Brought to by Carl Jr" or "Brawndo the thirst mutilator"

This is the kind of fun that should be encouraged as long as it's responsibly done; such as a timeout self-restoration and not disabling functionality. Somebody should make a tool that makes it easy so they can be updated by many people but never in too bad of a way... so it only stays about 1 week. It can also retain some functionality too. I'm sure they will want to find and punish the clever artist behind this... and invent an crewel and unusual punishment not befitting the "crime" under the tired fallacy of "making an example" which you masses all fall for. I wish more pioneering criminals would appeal the unjust consequences of being the 1st.

Your handle says it all. A nutjob is exactly the type of person who can't differentiate between Trump and all other who came before.

Oh I'm aware of the BS today's system heaps upon researchers. The system of publishing has been wrecked as well; not that it was great in the past... Grants and papers used to not be so horrible; not good, but it's just gotten worse. Ask some old researcher like a decade or two ago for maximum reach. I did.

Trump isn't going to improve anything; if you believe his "rattling" isn't choking it won't matter what actually happens. This is the beginning of the end of the USA. No, even if it becomes a state of Russia it'll claim to retain the title; it'll claim to be a democracy long after that is silly - after all, they will gaslight the obvious.

Bigger problems than waste:
0) Transgenic and Transgender are NOT remotely the same thing. literacy levels are huge. especially in the USA where most read below 6th grade level.

1) you do not know if research is valuable
2) you do not have the knowledge, skill, or intelligence to evaluate ALL research
3) you can't predict the future
4) you don't know the impact the research has upon people who go on and do useful things later
5) past experience of failures or dead end successes shape future actions
6) a free-market type model creates a ton of BS games to get funding; this is true and doubling down on that makes it worse not better.
7) a great deal of time and talent are wasted on playing BS games to get to the real intended work - this is waste but a different kind that work on topics you disapprove of.
8) Science is fundamentally about disproving stuff; in one sense of the expression, it is largely about getting nowhere... "going to nowhere where nobody's gone nowhere before"
9) people being delusional is the norm. sadly. legit researchers probably are lower than average.

What is the point of being smart and not jumping ship before it is too late?

Oh, I'll just walk off the cliff with the herd because I'm a good team player... I warned them but they didn't listen and now I'm screwed too.
