No the reason it's not replacing them is that it doesn't work.

AI just picks up on simple patterns and the problem was that you would feed a bunch of data into an AI for radiology and it would take the easiest route to an answer which would often be catastrophically wrong.

That's the problem when you are right 90% of the time you're basically killing 10% of the people who needed care and treatment.

To be fair this is before the current models but at least five or six years ago one of the radiology models got caught literally looking at a ruler that was in every picture that happened to be a match and because it just so happened that ruler was in those images in the data set and not in the negative images in the data set that's what it honed in on.

AI is extraordinarily lazy and will do whatever it is the easiest. I know that it's popular to talk about human beings being like that because we all like to look down on people it's a lot of fun but in reality if you're a radiologist you worked your ass off and you still are working your ass off.

That there is a bank. It is normally heavily regulated but apparently like everything you can just do it on the internet and completely ignore regulations.

They're coming for your 401k. I'm telling you this because the people who already understand why all this crypto bullshit is bad already understand why all this crypto bullshit is bad.

I'm talking to the right wing wannabe libertarian types who are only libertarian when it's convenient for them.

You guys are old, and you got fat and happy off the New deal and the Great society while tearing it down for future generations.

You're sitting pretty on a lot of property and a big fat 401k.

All told that something like 10 trillion dollars and if you think the 1% haven't noticed you're not paying attention to anything.

They want your house and they want your retirement and they want your Medicare. And they don't care that you're a freaking veteran. They have drones now they don't need you.

I think some of you have figured this out but you're too far into whatever it is you're into to do anything about it.

I don't know if you're going to get another chance to fix shit in three and a half years but if you do you better get your act together or you're going to die in the street eating dry cat food. Not the fancy wet stuff that's going to cost too much.

Neither Apple nor Google do a good job vetting apps in their app store.

Allowing alternative app stores opens the possibility of a store where all apps are thoroughly vetted for security purposes, which would mean you could finally have an App store on Apple that is secure.

You still have that option. Opening the platform doesn't force you to buy 3rd party crap, you are still free to use only the Apple crap if you like that more.

There are two choices. That's not a competitive marketplace. It leaves the platforms free to abuse their users (as both Apple and Google have been convicted of doing).

That isn't a piece of crap. Sometimes if you've got a weird or old device you just have to go with whatever the hell you can find on Amazon

I think there are definitely CEOs using AI to mask layoffs due to a collapsing economy because we put a complete fucking imbecile in charge of the largest economy in the world and it's affecting the entire economic system of the whole planet.

At the same time I keep thinking of the CEO of Salesforce talking about the 4000 customer service reps he fired. That's real. He's not important enough or big enough or Elon Musk enough that he can lie about stuff like that and saying something like that has a real effect on the stock price of the company.

The problem is I don't think people like nuance.

So the idea that yes AI is going to significantly reduce employment and cause cascading effects across the economy but there are also people lying about the capabilities of AI so that they can fire people due to a crashing economy it's just too nuanced.

Also about 35% of Americans are denying the economy is collapsing because of their faith in their god king. They happen to be doing okay right now and an economy is a big thing so they might hold out until the next Democrat president starts to fix things up like they have their whole lives...

Without skill accessing wealth.

The ruling class has been dependent on the peasantry for as long as we've had a ruling class.

That is not a situation they enjoy and they are taking steps and measures to eliminate that dependency.

I think this is really hard for people to grasp because it means the end of capitalism but not ending in socialism or communism.

I like to call it techno feudalism but you can call it whatever you want. It's an entirely new economic system that exists to service approximately 8,000 people at the expense of 8 billion.

There won't be an economy. It will be automated killbots and drones to kill you if you get in their way and they will be a handful of jobs servicing those 8,000 people and then a handful more as thugs to keep the people servicing the 8000 in line.

There won't be any buying or selling the speak of and there won't be a functional capitalist economy because there doesn't need to be one. The 8,000 will rule by Fiat and violence.

At least that's their plan. I don't really see a lot of reason why it won't work besides coping mechanisms that we all want to use because this world is terrifying to anyone who isn't at the very top of the economy right now.

And know if you are clearing even a few million a year you are not at the top of the economy. You are just a juicier Target for them to chew up and shit out.

I think the problem is that it's so far beyond what we are used to thinking about that we just can't wrap our heads around what's happening. It's like trying to explain general relativity it doesn't make sense unless you actually sit down and really look into it and maybe pick up a bit of math.

They didn't address the issues, I don't know why you think that.

They don't have freedom of speech, so they are silencing the people who complain.

It's a catch-22. If the government takes action to halt the spread of misinformation, they are accused of censorship. But if they do nothing, they are accused of negligence. Either way, they cannot win.

In my opinion, censorship is the greater evil. Therefore, the government should allow the spread of misinformation but should counter it with educational campaigns that spread good information. It is true that some people will buy into the information, which is unfortunate, but the government cannot (and should not) control their minds. Attempting to block the misinformation won't change the minds of people who already believe it.

Everyone has a personal responsibility to seek out good information. Everyone should cultivate critical thinking skills in themselves, listen to information that challenges their beliefs, question information that seems a little too comforting to be true, and so on. It's a moral responsibility, because the decisions that everyone makes have an impact on everyone else, and misinformation leads to harmful decisions. Not everyone will do this, of course, because some people are just lazy. Or rotten. But even so, censorship is not the right way to influence the lazy and the rotten. The only ethical option is to encourage a proper education and make the good information as available as possible.

Well when you say it like that, it sounds like you have a more interesting point.

You make a joke, but tomorrow I'll be flying around in my car with antigravity.

Just ask ChatGPT to make the Rust solve the unchangeable passwords and hidden backdoors. Problem solved.

Wait, your idea is that consumption causes wealth? I'd really like to know where you got that idea.

Not when they own everything. The king did not need his peasants to consume except in as much as you needed them to stay alive so that he could get them to feed his knights to protect him and invade other domains.

The rich don't want to or need to sell you an iPhone in the world they're building. You won't have any money to give them because they will have all the money and all the power and all the land and everything. They will keep a handful of us to amuse them and that's it.

Think of the worst and poorest American Indian reservations. That's what they have in store for you.

Machine gun can take down any mob you care to point at. If it gets bad enough you use drones and bombs. Like what they did with Black Wall Street but on them much much larger scale.

Israel is currently bombing the ever-loving shit out of civilian targets and Gaza and nobody cares. When the ruling elite start dropping bombs on your neighborhood nobody's going to care either.

You need to get real comfortable with the fact that if you don't do something now violence isn't going to save you. This isn't a mother fucking 80s action movie.
