Assume 2000 work hours a year (in the U.S. it's perhaps typically 2080 hours, in most Europe countries it'd be less than 2000, I think)

Ten thousand hours is ~5 full time employees, as you said.

Wild example pulled out of my hat:
Assume a job with 20 programmers. Let's say AI makes them doubly as productive, so they fire 10 employees and saves twenty thousand hours a year.

It sure adds up to me (though not necessarily the numbers I pulled in my "example").

Me too, sometimes, but they're usually dream-created non-sense! :(

Devil damn it, "America"; toss away all coins and use cards.

Physical money is so outdated.

Article too long. Can someone compress it for me?

'anti-consumer' is a sub-set of 'suck'.

I suppose it's possible to have a very good attitude/intention towards your customers and still produce [some] products that suck.

Norway has abundance of water (and until now; also electricity), and we switched from glass to plastic for "the environment". Something about glass being heavier and require more fuel to transport, and we'd recycle all the plastic bottles, of course! :)

But we're quite close on the recycle promise, supposedly: https://www.sciencealert.com/n...

I fixed that for you! ;)

I expect the 4th version from now to have canine shape. Better Boy!

What? That's crazy! "nobody" can pay that.

I am ahead of you all! I've started the progress of developing the submarine T. I hope to get it done in time to be the first submarine tour to visit the crushed Tit which went down to find and spectate the famous Titan which went down to check out Titanic, which went down to.. no, wait, we were done there.

"As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in developing superbug-killing antibiotics was a relatively new and emerging field. However, I can provide you with some information on how AI has the potential to be involved in this area of research.

Drug Discovery: Developing new antibiotics traditionally involves a time-consuming and expensive trial-and-error process. AI can aid in accelerating drug discovery by analyzing large amounts of biological data and identifying potential drug candidates. Machine learning algorithms can be trained on existing antibiotic molecules and their properties to predict and generate new compounds with desired characteristics that could be effective against superbugs.

Target Identification: Identifying specific targets within bacteria is crucial for designing effective antibiotics. AI algorithms can analyze genomic data and identify potential vulnerabilities in bacteria, such as specific proteins or enzymes essential for their survival. By targeting these vulnerabilities, scientists can develop antibiotics that disrupt the growth or survival mechanisms of superbugs.

Combination Therapy Optimization: Combining multiple antibiotics can enhance their effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of bacterial resistance. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data on various antibiotics, their interactions, and bacterial response to different combinations. By using machine learning techniques, researchers can identify the most promising combinations and optimize dosages to achieve synergistic effects against superbugs.

Predicting Drug Resistance: AI can play a role in predicting the development of antibiotic resistance. By analyzing genomic and clinical data, machine learning models can identify genetic markers or patterns associated with antibiotic resistance. This information can help healthcare providers make informed decisions about antibiotic treatment and develop strategies to combat resistance.

It's important to note that the use of AI in developing superbug-killing antibiotics may have advanced since my knowledge cutoff. Ongoing research and technological advancements may have led to new applications and approaches in this field. For the most up-to-date information, I recommend consulting recent scientific literature or reputable sources specialized in this area."

Ooooh, so it's now better at generating harder porn?!

No, wait... :-/
