What kind of work are you in? I've found that pretty much everyone I interact with are more than happy to explain what they are doing if you ask. But I mostly work with tradespeople, so electricians, plumbers, smiths etc. Is it a white collar thing?

Use a very long hose.

Reads like a communist shitpost. I can understand the urge to scream into the void but the UN probably isn’t the best forum.

Mad to see all the coping going on from Reddit libertarians. Apparently the ‘math’ works out for this and everyone that is currently living in poverty was already poor. They are also waving around lowered rents as if that isn’t a direct result of increased homelessness and poverty rather than removal of rent controls. They ‘increased housing stock’ in the last six months apparently.

What math are they talking about? Dunno, just the math.

You're just describing two slightly different flavours of liberal that both exist in Europe and the USA.

A sad day for every minority community in NYC to see one of their own indicted.

Biden/Harris have also said they approve of this escalation.

News channels of the USA like CNN are giving full credence to anything said by Israel as they are rolling out the exact same talking points as with Gaza. The supposed cruise missiles in apartments will be used as an excuse if they ever get a slightly bad reaction, it was simply Hezbollah who exploded their own ordinance you see. They even rolled out old trusty ‘Hezbollah-run health ministry’ early.

The king is also put in check by the queen, taking the knight doesn’t remove that threat.

Does this mean that my TI-84 calculator was actually an AI since it could solve equations I put into it? Or Wolfram Alpha? Or a speed camera? These are all able to read external inputs to produce an output. At which point does your line go, because the current technology is nowhere near where mine goes.

We are currently ruining the biosphere so that some people might earn a lot of money by being able to lay off workers. If you remove this integral part to what “AI” is and all other negative externalities of course it will look better, but not all of the externalities are tied to the capitalist mode of production. Economies and resource allocation would still be a thing without capitalism, it isn’t like everything magically becomes good.

They don’t understand though. A lot of AI evangelists seem to smooth over that detail, it is a LLM not anything that “understands” language, video nor images.

There are uses for these kinds of models like semi-automating analysing large pools of data, but even in a socialist society the resources that allocated to do it like it is currently is completely unsustainable.

Anything getting lodged under the wheels of a train could be trouble.
