The whole problem with this approach is a) we don’t have all the systems we need individually at a level of capability that meets the current level of hype and b) we don’t have a capable enough system management AI architecture, just using some weighted tokens is horribly deficient.

For the record, maybe we shouldn’t call it a bug because they have rudimentary sentience and thinking ability. Maybe unproductive mutation would be more apt.

Oh, don’t worry. It’s only 17 times bigger than the dot com bubble and 4 times the subprime mortgage crisis. I’m sure we’ll be just fine. As long as we don’t need money or an economy.

It’s not uncommon for sensitive people to get headaches and feel like crap if they have to breathe in excess of 1000ppm CO2. Hypercapnia is excess CO2 in your bloodstream and it can definitely cause immune system suppression, over 2000ppm and its more likely to become severe. It’s really easy to get over 1000ppm in a room with lots of people, doubly so if the ventilation is poor. So good ventilation will help the attendees stay awake and mentally alert.

You think they are using introspection and multiple source checking now? Ive had many people double and triple down that the AI slop was right and every other factual source was wrong because AI is super intelligent and can’t be wrong. They take it personally because they lack the abilities to tell crap from credible.

Totally! AI regrew my severed arm, which was an advanced risk for it to even try!

And I would be highly surprised if some decent conventional web searches couldn’t do the exact same thing.

The interesting thing is both the regimes responsible were authoritarian dictatorships. When one party rules, unaccountable, in totalitarianism it does not really matter the entry point whether it’s left or right as the end result is nearly indistinguishable. It smacks of the Cubans voting so heavily for Trump because of an authoritarian and then the authoritarian promptly revokes their rights including citizenship and crushes them. The problem is removal of the power and accountability from the people, the people can force their hand because productivity still comes from them. In cases where a large majority of the income comes from a source largely devoid of people, like mining or fossil fuels, they have no chance and remain subjugated until that resource runs out. In the next 50 years if we archive capable AI like systems it will be forever.

In first grade we got a math book that was just problem sheets with a brief destruction page for each and so I went home and finished it. The next day I was suspended from school because it was a years worth of material. This was after the preschool incident where I was told to eat my snack of graham crackers but I have celiac disease, I refused and the teacher tried to make my by being forceful and punishing me so I called him a stupid asshole and was suspended for a week while the teacher got an apology. At least in todays schools the teacher would have been fired for attempting to poison a student.

The biggest difference between China and the EU safety compliance are more safety systems like brakes airbags cameras headlights pedestrian crash requirements etc where as US has NHTSA and IIHS, China has C-NCAP and historically they are quite different although they are converging somewhat lately. This means the EU compliance was largely accessories while the US was more structural and accessories. Getting US compliance would be costly and increase the cost per vehicle even beyond the EU. Just as I said earlier, this wouldn’t be a big difference compared to the pricing gap that already exists and they would still be the cheapest value buy.

The main reason processed and ultra processed foods are bad is they are too nutrient and calorie dense and are too easy to digest. Starches and proteins are already broken down and condensed to the point it hits your digestive system very abnormally, like eating large amounts of sugar. The result is it’s extremely easy to over eat and for your body to absorb things too quickly which isn’t always good, like with type 2 diabetes. It’s likely any effects from things like additives that are harmful or poisons like lead naturally found in plants getting concentrated to harmful levels are of secondary importance given heart disease is a leading cause of death.

True, but doesn’t that going after the top 10% and ignoring the rest kind of unnecessarily greedy?

A zombie servant. Reprogram it to provide solely to you and leave only the most meager remains for it to survive. It takes maintenance to retain such embrace mental succor, so keep it addictive and distracting and nonstop. But remember, if you can’t control the spice you can’t control the mind cucked.

The cars don’t meet the specifications to be sold in the US. They lack crash safety, and other things that does reduce the price and adding them for just the American market would slightly increase the cost as well because it lacks economies of scale. That said the price difference wouldn’t be much and absolutely minor things are being used as a barrier to free markets.

Yep, because it’s not just EV it’s also gas vehicles. The average went from 30k in 2012 to 48k in 2022 and they aren’t coming down much because of greedflation.
