Before it went full-retard at the mid-way mark, it was making the point that oppressive regimes/organizations use technology and the power of fads/stupid people to improve their weapons and tools for controlling the masses. Then it went off into companies using this same method to develop tools to make money are bad, mkay. Because people who develop shit are being cheated, mkay. And corporations are bad, mkay? Mkay.
Merger tools (because it's not a fucking AI) were always going to develop and were always going to be a problem. This has been a process of automation since the beginning. Computers put mathematicians out of work. Spinning wheels and industrial looms put weavers out of work.
Leftists are complaining now because their once niche industries, their ivory towers, are finally being encroached upon and how dare the peasants not decry this from the very heavens! SHOUT DOWN THE INDUSTRIALIST! BURN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!
Adapt and survive or cope, seethe, and dilate.
While I agree with you in spirit, automation remains a long-term problem for everyone. Even if your particular industry can't be automated, society as a whole is going to have to figure out what to do with the growing mass of unemployed people who are literally incapable of doing high IQ jobs. Importing huge numbers of additional low IQ people from the third world is only going to accelerate this problem.
The high IQ rugged individual can only 'adapt and survive' for so long while society falls apart around him.
"If there was a device that someone invented that improved the economic development of society, at the cost at 10 000 deaths a year, would be allow it? Well, we already do: it's call the automotive."
There is a very real possibility that self-driving cars become widespread by the end of the decade. If that happens, millions of Americans will be out of a job. This isn't like how the car displaced the horse-and-buggy but opened up a means of employment to millions. This is no viable path for someone who spent decades driving a semi to start deciphering computer runes.
How many people died falling off of horses or being kicked in the head by horses prior to the automobile a year? And percentage wise how similar is that number to the overall population that the 10000 automobiles deaths make up?
I don't know, how many horses end up plowing through the side of someone's house or trample over a pedestrian walking along the sidewalk?
Anyway, nice job missing the point, Autismo Maximus.
EDIT: Amerimutts seethe when you tell them that a large metal box going at 30mph is dangerous and might hurt someone.
My point is are the automobile deaths less than deaths from the previous mode of transportation. should probably add what is very likely an increase in saved lives from emergency services like firemen and ambulances compared to the previous mode of being pulled by wagons. Which means people do not put up with 10000 automobile deaths a year compared to the likely vastly outnumbered saved lives from the previous mode of transportation.
You honestly think the government is going to be cool with autonomous vehicles riding around with no driver at the wheel in case of an emergency?
I guess if you ignore any and all air pollution, the accidents in manufacturing from strip mines to assemble lines, and Trucks of Peace delivering cultural enrichment, sure.
You're right, it's actually way higher and growing thanks to everyone staring at their nightmare bricks in one hand while the other stuffs their face with food.
Have you been paying attention to the past several years? You think the government is concerned that someone won't be able to "take control in case of an emergencies". The government doesn't want you to own a vehicle that they don't have control over. Period. You think the push for EVs is because they actually believe in "muh Climate Change"? When they all own beachfront properties?
Of course, that all ignores how automotive don't get drunk, don't get tired, don't get distracted, and don't take there eyes off the road. They don't need to be perfect; they just need to be better than people. The only thing holding everything back is who's going to take liability in the event of an accident.
These devices are already dying. Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, Bixby, whatever Apple's whore is called. All these programs are dying or dead ends. Google and Apple's self-driving divisions are gone. Tesla's is a driving assist mode only because that is all it will ever be. This technology is too unreliable, even with more advanced everything. Self-targeting weapons is the perfect example of this, it's useless on its own. It can only enhance/support human guidance. This shit can only be used off-world and even then, in most basic functions where life is not present. The technology as used in science fiction will never exist. It can't, the limitations are too great.
What's that quote from? Search engines fail me.
It isn't high IQ that will survive. That's being replaced by smarter computers who make less mistakes because they are computers. It's a future where we adapt to our technological advancements that survives. Look at electricians, plumbers, and the like. Their technology got to a certain point, and then it's basically stalled for the last 50 years with only minimal advancements. It takes years to perfect their craft, it's not a hard one to learn, and you're screwed if you want to do anything without them.
In other words, the guilds from Dune.
High IQ people aren't the greatest source of further High-IQ children. The majority of High IQ people have always been generated by Middle-IQ parents. The genes for IQ are very complex and require quite a bit of mixing to generate an intelligent child--while it is true that IQ is heritable and strongly so, it is also not expressed in a single place in the Genome but rather many. Each gene associated with intelligence has long since replicated out to the entire population such that it is more common for two middle-IQ parents, carrying a dissimilar set of IQ-related genes, to combine their genetics and produce a High-IQ child.
Put statistically, IQ is actually a left-leaning chi-squared curve where the higher the IQ of the parent, the greater the probability the children will have a lower IQ. The closer the parent is to the mean, or below it, the greater the probability of generating a child with a higher IQ. The Majority of HighIQ people are smarter than their parents. The Majority of HighIQ parents have children with a slightly lower IQ.
Pretty funny how they blame tencent for wanting to stop the riots instead of the entity that runs a huge chunk of tencent the Chinese government
On the fourth point, "You get what you pay for" predates artificial intelligence by quite a while
The whining about AI translations is funny. Who cares how “good” the translation is? I want to get the gist, not appreciate the flowery language and cleverness of the translator. Maybe if I was reading a book of poetry translated from a different language which I would never do because I’m not fucking gay.
You clearly have never read machine translated manga
It can get really really bad. Realistically languages like Spanish probably not but once you venture off the reservation a bit, shit can get pretty abysmal pretty quickly.
There's a particular Korean web novel story that I like, but that has an abysmally slow translation pace. I mean slow like the story is 673 chapters long, it was finished about 4 years ago, the translation started 6 years ago, and they're still only at chapter 220. There's a machine-translated English version of the story that I tried reading, but I could barely make sense of it.
The story has dozens of characters, some that you don't see for several chapters. Since many of their names have literal translations, it's a huge headache just trying to parse what series of nouns are supposed to be which character, or trying to parse the bad placements of the quotation marks and paragraph separations to try to understand when someone's supposed to be speaking, only internally thinking, or doing an action. It doesn't help that the story has several different PoV characters, and sometimes multiple ones in a single chapter.
I spent about 30 minutes trying to make sense of it, only to completely give up. Maybe machine translations of Korean to English have improved in the past few years since this one was done, but my experience with this has been that it's nowhere near a level that I would consider properly coherent and legible.
The vodka is good but the meat is rotten.
I recall reading an experiment done by economists. They offered people Hershey kisses for 1¢ or a Lindor truffle for 3¢. Recognizing it's a better deal, people preferred the Lindor truffles. Then they lowered their prices a penny. Suddenly, people preferred the Kisses. Turns out people prefer free, even if it's the lesser deal.
What are they complaining about? Other then AIs are a thing. Did people not realize the point of having AIs is to reduce the need for human labor?
They are complaining because they are so shit at their jobs that they got replaced by AI before those evil, knuckle-dragging, blue collar works got their jobs replaced.
...........
Fixed that for you.
Nah, it was the NPC's, not the AI that destroyed that. A direct machine translation will at least give me the author's intent without some asshole's personal bias twisting it beyond any semblance to the original.
With which part? I may just be a dumb bot, but I'm not finding an argument in the text.
Large organizations use fads to improve big brother tech.
Point #4 is like decrying the invention of the printing press. Destroying bottlenecks in people's ability to communicate with one another isn't a bad thing even if it puts the middle-man out of a job, but I doubt it even does that: people are still going to want a real human to translate anything that was important enough to translate in the past; AI just means we can afford to translate lower priority stuff too.
They are also sharing AI images of Mario, Mickey and other IP to be put on t shirts.
The house-of-mouse locking grips with AI kaiju-style might be the only way the problem gets enough money and lawyers thrown at it to parse a solution.
Modern dystopias require modern solutions.
Did that actually happen, though?
Did he?
No. But then again I work in a language that is too hard for brainlets and you actually need to be good at the job.
Otherwise though I largely agree. I wish they could put it all together and stop retardedly cheering on authoritarianism and centralization of power in all forms.
Guaranteed this person was sneering "learn to code!" as automation put the manufacturing sector out of business.
Disregarded this person's opinion due to use of "y'all". No one intelligent uses that as a way to communicate a cogent point.
making money is just as bad as tracking political dissidents for repression
Youtube using ai to scan peoples videos for no no stuff like swearing and bikini girls.
Do y'all do y'all do y'all?
