I just noticed that the AI voice at Substack has a hard time differentiating Danish and Norwegian and sometimes switches between the languages when it reads a post. Don't judge Swedes that have a hard time seeing a difference between the languages in writing.

Amazon sees warehouse robots 'flattening' its hiring curve, according to internal document An official company document describes Amazon's new Vulcan robot and similar machines as key to keeping a lid on hiring growth.

Publicly, Amazon said its new robots with a sense of touch are all about making work easier on workers. Internally, they said the robots are "critical to flattening Amazon's hiring curve over the next 10 years." Needing less humans to work is great but WE SHOULD ALL BENEFIT via an AI dividend - UBI.

As much as possible, but of commons, not commodities. For health care, public transit, parks, and education, more is more.
And, yes, with #UBI Happiness for all ๐Ÿ˜‰

You either make no sense or you are talking about "A.I." in some narrow sense. (Source: AlphaFold)

It has always been weird to me that we can get more useful stuff by taxing useless stuff.

How can you build healthcare out of soda cans?

A common justification of capitalism is that the system produces much of everything and, as a consequence, also much useful stuff.

Everytime you talk about "production" in a societal/political context you need to have the question "the production of what?" in the back of your mind.

Now that we have incredibly useful machines, why do humans have to live like machines?

An education system that doesn't allow the students to follow their curiosity is a failed education system.

If artists and thinkers try to be useful to society, they immediately become useless to society.

Neither art nor philosophy works under either a commercial or a public funding system.

Art and thinking require a more fundamental form of freedom. It can't rely on the approval of the crowd.

It seems like the fundamental belief that "rough AI"-doomers all share is that AI have/can have a mindlike grasp of reality.

That's probably why you can find the most forced and self-contradictory lines of argumentation by columnists. The world would be a little less stupid if they could just say, Sorry, I need to think about the topic a bit longer before I can write something.

Newspaper columnists are basically paid to lie. It says in their contracts that they have to write an opinion piece about a current topic at a certain time. That is, regardless of whether they have an opinion or not. If they have not made up their minds, they must pretend they have.

I can't see why AI generated material would be more "unreal" than any other fictional content.

Most people don't seem to believe that the whole world is being reshaped by AI. And they certainly don't act like they do.

Someone called it "the San Francisco consensus", the belief that the whole world is being reshaped by rapid technological advancement.

"Listen to the experts!"

No, engage with the arguments.

Good arguments are more important than good evidence.

The data can't think for you.

You can't just throw out all the pieces of the puzzle on the floor and claim that you solved it.
