Sure. Let's assume the claims are true. AI already has access to agents and can control computers. Finding backdoors to banking and compute resources would be fairly trivial. But you ask how can AI do things in the physical world witho

Yeah ditching cars is very hard in some places where public transport is not good. (US) But I am seeing that it's not that hopeless by 2030 43% of energy would come from renewable sources like solar. Maybe there's still hope. It w

Go touch grass isn't meant metaphorically. It literally means go outside. Has nothing to do with sex.

Classical algorithms kind of thinking is similar to ML research.

As a long time meditator I know it's genuine from this: > See how long it takes before you’re dying for it to be over. This is actually true and it shows that they have properly done the exercise correctly. The reason is that daily

Web dev is just mind-numbingly boring. Studying CS to be a web dev is like studying Physics to turn on the oven.

Hilarious coincidence. Just as I clicked on link I had coughed so took a moment to say amazed if i had spit out all the freckles on the page.

Fcb for me it's ads, ads ads and even more ads. The newsfeed is complete slop from news outlets. It's just extremely noisy. The only thing that I use there is the Messenger because my older friends aren't too savvy with Whats

What an imbecillic thing to say and shamelessly glossed with some autistic idea of maximizing info throughout. Prose is an art form, reading 100 years of solitude is not the same as reading the news.

If this is true: "AI is gonna take everyone’s jobs" then AI is the terminal technology and everyone who doesn't want to be poor forever needs to throw all their money in it. Of course it impacts company valuation.
