My insurance has a search feature that literally does not work. Therapists keep putting "official office branches" in places where they do not work therapy, but want to show up on searches. Just drive bro.
I suppose, sure. But I'm not convinced that goal is possible to achieve; the biological organisms have billions of years of head start. Elephants aren't wasting their huge brains either.
I designed dies for forges. Mechanically it's actually kinda similar to sheet metal, but the EH&S is worse and the whole forging industry is practically a monopoly now.
We're hiring btw, if anybody is in Los Angeles pm me.
It's kinda bittersweet to be middle aged and finally have a job I actually like. I program robots to bend metal all day, like Bender from Futurama. It's super cool and I have zero dread on Sundays for once.
But when I talk to my coworkers, I'm reminded of how rare and lucky that really is. For everyone else the week is still grueling and maddening. The people with "bullshit jobs" aren't having any fun at all.
So when we start talking about the weekend as an escape, I try to keep it real and see if there's any way I can make their life more pleasant. Maybe they need a good word for a promotion, or backup asking for a raise, or a lie when they need to leave early, or a glowing job reference.
Imagine how much more our society would accomplish if there were no bullshit jobs and everyone either programmed the robots, or made pottery/paintings/whatever the neurotypicals enjoy.
You should bet on stuff you don't like. Then if you win it's like an insurance payout. Your prediction skills will make money for you, and you might create incentives for other people to reduce bad things.
The easiest way to get out of an argument with me is to send me a YouTube video. It has always been the worst source of information about everything, even worse than early Wikipedia. I will not watch your YouTube video.
And it's slow as hell. They always think their point is both complicated and interesting. Text remains the best medium for communication.
Smarter is expensive! The brain will use more calories and cost more. LLMs are drastically less energy-efficient than natural brains. We're one of the few cases where spending more on compute was worth it.
You're describing eusociality, not intelligence. One might argue that ants have completely taken over, but they aren't necessarily smarter than solitary wasps. LLMs only exist because of a huge economy behind them, and it remains to be seen how widespread they'll be once they're expected to generate a profit.
Oh it's still there. But the price has gone up significantly. Free market economics teaches us that there's no such thing as a shortage.
