Sven Asai comments

Of course it's not OK, because then people like me and many others who are not on Reddit or Facebook will be dramatically underrepresented if not even completely excluded from the training data and this leads to the next one of so many AI failures.

All those one-sided theories and attempts are going to fail. You cannot have much more farmland for plant based nutrition and at the same time plaster all remaining potential farmland with solar panels. That only as one example for that all those concepts are not driven by logical thinking but by stubborn ideology.

Who cares, AI doesn't work with any amount of data centers, wasted energy, upscaling with more and faster chips, building of quantum computers and so on. Whether all the misused energy is CO2 emission based, renewable, nuclear or whatever else, doesn't play a role. The whole path is wrong, not the vehicle rolling on it.

Obviously doesn't eat at the same restaurant as her brother.

No, It's the same restaurant, but of course due to the ranking she cannot grab first, so there aren't much leftovers for her, if any. lol

Well, with low birth rates around 1 or below it's surely becoming more and more difficult to recruit anyone. Anyway, the solution is very easy. Give every citizen some nice equipment and a training course. Even some well equipped seniors can pick out one or another intruder from their senior residence's windows, if they have some nice sniper guns or heavy machine guns installed. So it's not a problem of recruitment, but only of defense means distribution.

Anything is fine as long everyone considers that communication is only successful if B fully understands what A is trying to say.

That's just simply a scientific rule throughout all our universe. Rare things or events tend to clod together timely or locally. We wouldn't exist as a life form if not some organic materials would clod together. The rare use of atomic bombs, locally and timely clodded in 1945, as another example. And now back to this case here, the catastrophe of a big left wing win in the UK elections repeats shortly after in neighboring France. This rule is valid everywhere, so nothing is surprising here. Need more examples? A crime following a similar crime, an earthquake following an earthquake, a drawn lottery number just neighboring the next drawn number, and a beautiful woman walking on the street means that highly probably you'll see another beautiful woman nearby, to end the examples here with a much more positive one.

I've taught my children to save and invest. It should be common sense.

No, it's not common sense. The economy always needs both groups, immediately and much consuming people and those saving or investing ones. It is wrong to play the ones against the others. Look, if everyone only saves a big part of earnings, then the companies don't sell anything, go bankrupt and also all investments will of course fail. That is hopefully common sense in a system called capitalism, which is intrinsically based on growth, consumption and investments into those growing companies, not on degrowth, everyone saving money for nothing and failing investments due to low orders of products and services.

Of course they are not very much or in fact not at all affected there, because 'AI' just doesn't and cannot work, with whatever slow or speedy , missing or available chips from West, East or any other direction. And btw also such useless unison waving hands 'robots' and similar have already been all around long before any generative or other 'AI' hype.

Wait, that's still nothing compared to the future when society is even more single splitted and high-aged and then all those people just disappear without anyone reporting or missing them.

There's the saying about not existing free lunches for a reason. So many millions of people use the various Google services for free , especially the search engines and mail services. Do they all think it's really free and Google can afford to give it all away for just nothing? No, they have to earn much money too, to pay own and investors' profits and some employees' payrolls. Those financially moderated or some might say manipulated search result listings are the price to pay here, if we all like it or not.

I like it and think it's a nice business idea. But of course I don't buy them at those machines, those give me only an overview or inspiration, because one can get a complete collection or the wished item much quicker and cheaper in the internet shops and online flea markets. And btw complants about plastic garbage is nonsense, when all other normal toys sold for children are much bigger and contain a multiple amount of plastic.

Not a big surprise when already hearing in the news about insufficient and small meal portions in those facilities. This means there is soon much more similar to come.

enhance the speed of combat operations, reduce human error and advance labor-saving through automation, the policy said

Good luck with this one. Rofl

Combat operations become speedy, yes, but no one knows, what those will look like or bring as results. Reduction of human error is then in fact only a replacement by AI errors and hallucinations. And labor-saving is in fact then a strongly rising of workloads, because you not only need first the same or more knowledge than AI so that you can handle it and verify all its potentially wrong or wrongly calculated outputs, but also you need much more resources and skilled people for more of such verifications as it becomes more speedy like anticipated already under point one.

explain to the most common individual why it is not only a useful tool, but why this tool will be something that can be trusted.

To shorten the learning curve, I tell you something important. It's neither of that, not so very useful (because you now have to search or gain all the needed knowledge already before, so that you can verify every single potentially wrong output) , and of course it cannot be trusted at all, as strange, wrong and hallucinatory AI outputs have already shown. So, yes, a lot of jobs are created or affected due to the too big scaled hype and fake business opportunities, but that's for the very biggest part all without any substance or reliable and real practical use. The biggest problem is the extremely rising workload, because you not only need the literacy to operate or handle AI systems, but you need the same or more knowledge than AI for the verification of every single output. So, in fact, this will make AI obsolete by logic, when there is no need for something that is less capable and less trustful than our own human beings' knowledge.

Yes, exactly, it's the heat. Cooling down the body temperature of a mass shooter to a level like usual in a coroner's fridge surely prevents him and us from any further shootings.

Do they even know a minimum of what NATO is about? They should discuss at that summit China's overproduction in the military sector, not electric vehicles or solar panels.

Well, that's a still possible statistical outlier. Everyone of us dies usually at an unknown time and place. Nothing to do here, some of us will then be found much earlier, others later, some of us will die without causing any shocks, nuisance or JT news, and others will cause just all that too like in the case above.

Who really still cares, the very most of us don't have much of the old ones and also won't have much or even less of the new ones.

Bye-bye floppies, R.I.P. Anyway, in that former and now bygone era they were part of IT and the society and world in general when still almost everything was very much understandable, working , functioning, in order and most problems quickly fixable and solvable, economies widely prospering and average people quite wealthy, happy, content with life and with outlooks of a great splendid future. So, my dears, not to shock you but in fact this nice game is now completely lost and over, that's why I don't say that I miss those floppy discs, but much more the time in general when they were still in usage. In that sense it would be much better for all of us if we still had them all around.

Yes, of course, there are much more side tasks and bureaucracy than pure teaching hours in a very unhealthy ratio. On the other hand, good teachers know beforehand, that this is a 24/7 job, requiring every personal resources, physical, psychological strength and all your time given to the kids, so that they in principle have to be there for their students during work and also 'leisure' time and even in rare cases of possible familiar problems etc even at night. If you feel you cannot do all this in favor for your students then you have chosen the wrong profession.

How this probably ends, I could taste yesterday, when I gave two different big players' AI systems the simple task to find me quickly a text position of a citation, and I even named the two books where the citations are in, btw a historical one, so no copyright issues with this. Both AI failed, giving instead the 'advice' to buy the book or to lend it at a library. Well, luckily I have a digital facsimile of that book at hand and could find the text position after a hard search by myself, taking in sum much more time than without annAI search and doing everything myself just from beginning. So, transferred to the issues above we maybe won't find any specific news anymore. Should we then really produce own news, newspapers and news agencies, just to probably find any news? That's probably not the optimal solution. lol

It's too late anyway. And considering that they will even massively shrink in the second round of the election as all others united oppose, it's getting even later for France. They just still wake or woke up much too late, so this is a nice final try, but useless.

Spare us this irrational hysteria. It's too late anyway, and everyone with eyes and a clear mind knows that. Also a few rights or far rights cannot and will not change anything, because the damages have been done for years or decades to be more precise. It doesn't play a significant role, if now punctually some elections or majorities are won, increasing wokeness is a bit slowed down or a very few of the usually left people in power positions, universities, administration offices etc are now replaced by a few center or right wingers due to some election results. Face the situation as it is and remains, it's too late everywhere, not only in France.

It's all of no use in practice. At least all employees, guests and their families and acquaintances of any entity you have shared a password with, let's say a bank, a shopping platform or a public office, they all are potential knowers or can get access to your passwords, credit card numbers or whatever other credentials. If really really someone wants to have it, it's always possible to get with help of hacking tools, to steel or intrude your home or any of theirs, or maybe even just asking them or even becoming married with an employee there, for example.

Maybe some automated recognition tasks can be given to 'AI', scanning x-ray photos or gene sequences and such. But in general it is destined to fail. First, all results have to be checked by humans again, which will, when regarding shrinking resources in workforce , decrease the planned potential significantly. And second, the algorithms are intrinsically not reliable, which means there are regularly also lots of false positive and false negative outputs and some completely useless and irrational hallucination outputs to be expected. At best I would give it, if ever really applied, the role of a third opinion.

History shows, that often the weakest is elected or becomes king, so that the lower ranks can do what they want. Nothing else here, with not one but two possibilities so that it doesn't look so much like a monarchy. lol

Time to act, I would say. Because this is significantly contributing to this already hurting post-corona (hyper-) inflation and will finally turn out as the neck breaker for the whole inbound economy and consumption as well as social security systems, birthrates and all such. That's really affecting everything, not only a few foreigner's wages paid in Yen instead of Dollars.

I see quite some parallels to the AI hype, where they think they get it working somehow by scaling up with more and more chips, higher speed or using quantum computing and so on, which is of course nonsense as it won't become functioning intrinsically. And now here on this one, they even dare trying to attract and completely risking the big private investment players' money and also risking all our people's small pensions in those funds, by promoting their irrational and woke greenwashing phantasies. Someone has to stop all those big gambling and the involved high-rollers. It's for sure that they won't change the laws of mathematics and physics at all, and also not in favor of their intentions.

It's probably not much of their money they pay the slightly higher wages with. Their customers pay almost all of it of course. Membership or let's say entrance fees just for nothing in return? What a scam, demanding money for a few supermarket visits per year. The regularly too big dimensioned product packages also draw you indirectly much money out of your wallet, producing finally not more than an estimated 50% food loss, especially in a more contemporary society with seniors and many single households. Those higher minimum wages there are surely a very nice promotion campaign, but indeed will have a price tag too and additionally hit the business model, I guess.
