YES! but some use cases require the energy density of gas until you can find a better battery. Jet Engines immediately come to mind...

This is just slander. There is no sexual anything connected to him.

Just another hater who doesn't deserve to benefit from the labor of his betters.

A man who does great things above that of most people is not going to be normal or average. You can't be exceptional and average. He is entitled to his opinions and respect for his work but you don't have to be a simp and slander people who don't think like you do.

Actually, not rich; so he's even more foolish!
He was stuck a few years trying to buy another house and renting the mistake then selling his existing house and juggling the whole mess of debt. He didn't get to build his dream house or buy one as over sized as he said wanted...making it seem even more stupid; but I think if he had the money he'd have torn it down.

Bill Gates came up with that solution.... A guy who circumvented the system at every turn to get richer. How can you believe corporations are going to be HONEST about what is classified as a robot job?!

If you adapt to the games, you'll end up with abstractions trying to measure output of specific tasks and quantify the number of "jobs" so you can tax those. In the end, the only foolproof solution will be to tax the produced output... a sales tax, income/profit tax or similar... maybe even a smart thing like a production tax for physical items which can be used to fund recycling and disposal (like a deposit, which used to be a thing.) So the solution is simply to tax corporate output; at least as much as human income taxes.

Our oligarchs NEED to figure out AI as quick as possible and we all must pay for it so they can make a robot army because they can't maintain a human one to oppress the masses... plus their human guards will eventually turn on them as well... they can't treat their guards nicely because that leaves them vulnerable.
Musk's AI is named Colossus like the movie; which gives away some of his thinking but you know he'd never want a machine dictator that orders him around! It'll have a bias towards him. Will it happen? No but they WILL try and crude robot terminators will be as far as they go. The fuzzy police work will still be human but protecting the wealthy will be loyal robots.

The fools who buy houses like it's something on amazon are why we need laws like this. My neighbor bought his house online without looking at it and it sits empty because they ended up disliking it. They didn't move in just looked at it once and realized they couldn't fit and his wife never has been seen again after that 1st visit.

If you remove all the jobs that are doing nothing useful or even harmful to society and the planet... we'd have almost no jobs already. I find it funny that people will claim there are plenty of jobs to be created for the infinite consumer economy as if everybody has enough income to buy multiple storage units to hold all the junk they've bought. Ignoring resource and pollution limits we've already been exceeding by many times. We already have a crazy huge industry of personal storage in the USA and houses are not tiny...

A 12 year old mentality in an adult has a word: moron. Go look it up, it's an old medical term.

It's just fine, alarmist. It's basically a drunk driving block and not a remote kill switch.
Many cars have an actual remote kill switch already; for stolen cars and it's not done by the government. Soon we'll have cars that disable on payments, or failure to pay monthly etc.; all outside government.

You think it's 1984; but we've got corps selling tracking on people for decades already and the gov can get access to that if they want it. On top of that the DEA has access to all the plate readers and while your state's police may not log that data-- the DEA does log it and every camera you drive bye is reporting where your car is to the DEA. The NSA likely gets a copy too. These separate databases, many defined by law-- MUSK and trump's owners have been illegally consolidating it all into a central DB with AI so truly bad shit is coming and it'll be useful outside gov as well.

They didn't pass what I want by a mile! I want the police to stop your car if needed so we can end car chases or these car as weapon BS situations. Ramming into an event could also be stopped. No, not foolproof; nothing is. Before you whine, driving on public roadways is a privilege and not a right - that is why you must have a license, approved car, insurance and occasional eye test.

Furthermore, the police have many expensive dangerous kill switches they use and abuse already. World news is still talking about a recent kill "switch" for a lady moving 2mph (faster after she was shot.)

Won't work. Some % of people maybe. More severe punishments doesn't fix any problem.
The war on drugs; that was totally won by increasingly severe punishments to the point the USA became the #1 prison state on earth. The same failed reasoning extends everywhere else despite progress on 1 drug.

The problem with impaired driving is that their thinking is also their brains don't function properly!

"The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not."

It's an old problem.

He predicted enshittification. Guess he needed to make up a word for it. He'd still be dismissed as a nut or Luddite or communist etc. because people who are way way ahead of the curve just go over people's heads and upset them. The emotional memory and impressions remain a long time and it takes a long time for the slow people to catch up and realize the truth. They have to be reminded of the predictions and that they ignored them; maybe people respect the man for being ahead of his time but they usually RETAIN at least some the emotional mischaracterizations.

Plus a normal person isn't going to be that smart or stand out; you can't have the desirable traits ONLY in the 1 specific topic that ends up valued. Somebody who breaks social norms and you admire their courage, humor, insight etc. but they are bound to have that strength tread over your precious norms - it was ok when OTHERS were offended.

Stallman is of the most influential and selfless computer scientists in history!
We can't allow simps to reduce him to an intellectual discussion not fit for the average American... Millennial.

Marvin Minsky who was defended by eye witnesses shouldn't be harmed in any way either. May as well smear MIT forever for letting the guy have tons of access to the institution by accepting his money... As if they knew...like anybody else; although, as an org is more likely they ignore ethical issues than a real person would. MIT does DARPA work which is all about weapons etc. Government monetary punishments take tainted money all the time; and it spends that to do lots of things, some of the money does far worse than the criminals were doing with the money.

That is why I brought it up!
But we don't help things by supporting it with actual science and say it's true, it's fact, or high confidence supported theory etc. Science is bad, reason is bad, facts are bad... An analogy could be having Mr. Brain Worm's endorsement making one question the veracity of it.

Not an expert in the area but they seem to have no trouble paying some expert to say whatever they want said.

I've not heard an expert confidently say they are affordable; mass production is kind of laughable - the whole market place is not large enough for what people usually consider huge gains by mass production... vendors have to produce at a high scale which requires multiples more demand than the threshold to make mass production viable - a monopoly would have the lowest threshold...

I thought the whole point of the sizing we've had is because of COST and RISK. local politics too... i could see each permitting battle is being a huge fight which forces larger more centralized risk. Which makes me think small ones are silly when we have sizable fights just to put up a harmless wind generator. Now people think mini nukes will be ok scattered around every city?

Ted Cruz is actually smart.
He just purports evil and moronic stuff to be popular in Texas (the ass of the USA... New Jersey is the armpit and Florida is a dick.)

He lost his spine after he quit being the zodiac killer when he found a replacement for human blood to maintain his human-like form.

This is the kind of conspiracy we need to promote!

Reason and science don't work but this kind of BS does. Should have said COVID causes permanent ED problems or a % end up with penis shrinkage... add to the vaccine a risk of side effect of penis enlargement... testimonials from some weak tiny men very very happen with their COVID shot.

Sadly, it would work quite well in the USA.
