It is already showing really great potential.
Then the news drops that all of the progress we made on global warming has been undone by the energy usage caused by AI.
So sure, AI will live up the hype, and we will still die a slow and agonizing death of heat and suffocation.
But at least we will have AI friend chat bots to comfort us through the end.
Absolutely.
I dont share my anecdote for the first time.
I have heard in equal parts that I have a rare privilege and also that privilege will not last forever.
I challenge both takes a little, but mostly accept both as true.
That's been the tactic.
Baby steps.
My company ordered back to office, and as I was told, I was the only one to say no.
I generate too much value and have tolerated being underpayed enough that they can't justify firing me.
I'm also not some MIT AI machine learning savant. I come from a business analyst/ QA background, and I have made a SQL/Java/VBA system for virtually free that does the work of a team of 10 every day, but it's just my underpaid ass running it.
When I lose this job, honestly, I'm fucked and it will be a nightmare because I'll probably need to go into an office, and I'm in no shape for that.
But for today, I said no and I keep doing my job.
Yes, the modern mindset. Murder the product, preserve the manager's paygap.
I dont deny it.
Shame on me for just existing with okay teeth.
Time before last I had a dental checkup, they said I needed 12 fillings. Didn't schedule the fillings.
Last time I went in for a dental checkup, they said I needed 5 fillings. Didn't schedule the fillings.
It's been 15 years since that, and none of my teeth have gone rotten. None of them have gotten painful.
Ummm, from what ive seen, the general vibe is, you know how your boss would like to chain you to a desk in an office and ignore all your human wants and just make you a mindless drone that does their bidding, and as long as you are chained at that desk, you know that every couple days/weeks/months they will suddenly cater to your needs for a 45min to 4hr task, and based on how they like your performance, you stay chained to that desk or you get your needs catered to just enough to make you want to do WHATEVER you just did again?
That's what jail/prison is.
Human rights removed. Behavioral programming at maximum.
If I lost my leg right now, I would be destitute.
2 years in a prison and I'd probably be one-leg-hopping all over the place. Or buried out back. And we are learning that American police stations and prisons have a problem with literal shallow graveyards behind their buildings.
One of the major explainers about why badges hate 1st Amendment Auditors.
That said, Hilary corrupted him out.
As an independent, he was poised to win over 40 percent of the nation.
As a ring kisser, he could have won, but they got him where they wanted him and silenced him.
If over 40% of Americans registering third party didnt do it, I wonder what you think signifies the change,
So an independent who could actually represent the masses kissed the 2 party ring and America went to hell, do not pass go, noone got their full 200 dollars.
Sounds about right.
I'd say the masses dying of starvation and exposure would reduce global warming, but the millions of cars will be replaced by hundreds of private jets that net greater emissions.
The poor factory workers will be more destitute, and the rich will always find a way fill that void. Fuck, they will force their pilot to fly the empty jet around the world just to make sure that conditions on earth dont improve and they eventually get to utilize their vault 3 miles underground before they die.
