It makes sense to teach them about AI, what it is good for and what not to use it for. Just like how we learned how to use a calculator in primary school, after we learned manual multiplication and long division. A lesson for AI could be to ask students to write an essay, and teach them how to use AI to do research, let it help to give structure to their text, how to check sources and accuracy, and so on. It would be used as a tool a few times, to teach them about the tool, after they learn how to go about such things without using AI.

There is a serious problem when a profit--making company provides Operating System software:

Deliberately giving limits to a present version allows the company to charge a lot for a new version, even if the new version provides few important benefits.

And coding can be a very good teaching tool for that. That should be the goal of teaching coding in schools, that and trying to spark an interest in the subject in children. Not preparing them for a career in software engineering.

As for AI, it's not going away, and kids will be using it. So teach them the stuff about it they are less likely to pick up on their own. Such as the dangers and pitfalls.

That will lock you out of using you tv smart features like disney+, netflix, etc as they will require updates to keep working. (we've already ran into with a different brand tv)

Will the old trick of outlining your license plate with a bunch of high power IR LEDs obscure your plate from the camera, while still allowing human eyes to read them....?

If you're vain enough to want to stand out with exclusive emojis or animated whatevers, then spending money on a Nitro subscription makes rational sense.

Translation: The idiot employee in Sector G-7 will never push the big, red button that disables the cooling pumps to the nuclear reactor.

D'oh....

Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.

How?

Can you give some realistic, meaningful ways the average person like myself will be fucked by AI?

Thus solving the problem once and for all.
- Yes, but...
ONCE AND FOR ALL!

It can destroy us if we entrust it with too much stuff. Let it run all the stores, and the logistics for those stores. And military logistics while we are at it. Maybe balance our power grid. Let it suggest governmental policy. Teach our kids.

It won't destroy us because it "decides" to; LLMs do not make decisions. It optimizes for certain goals, using shitty instructions and shitty training data. Which means that under certain conditions it can make completely unexpected and illogical actions, like those Chinese bipedal robots glitching out. So... it will destroy us because - under certain conditions - it will utterly suck at its job.

When I say "sweater" I mean a pullover....down here mostly just simple cotton sweaters, not terribly heavy....

They just turn off your water heater.

What good does turning the gas off to the water heater do....?

If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt ... up to you, I wear a real jacket and a scarf.

Ugh...had to get on ChatGPT and find out what the fuck 12C was in F.

Ok, so about 54F...roughly. That's cool...I guess depends a bit on how high your humidity is. In the New Orleans area, it can be 54F and very humid...if the wind is coming in off the lake it can be quite chilly....but if lower humidity, more into winter months,...that's not too cold...I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.
