Hallo ich mache Philosophie, Technik und Gesellschaft.

  • you're forgetting here that all people want to commute at the same time between 7am and 9am in the morning. so you can't just operate 1 vehicle 24 hours around, you need the vehicles for these two hours especially and then some in the afternoon.

  • yeah i know about the RNA world hypothesis.

    by the way, has anyone ever built an artificial organism that only uses RNA with no proteins that is actually able to live (reproduce) in an inorganic environment?

  • do they add ventilation holes after asking you, though?

  • humans in space

    Jump

  • actually, what if viruses (free-swimming RNA) were the original form of life and proteins only developed later? then viruses would be the simplest possible organisms.

  • yeah i just realized, this isn't even accurate. we can't leech off another's metabolism. there's no one out there (within reach) .

  • a "solved game" is one where the optimal move is known, thus making it uninteresting for the intellectual problem-solver. he's bragging about it.

  • to lead into valid academic sources.

    this is called an index btw

  • it's really difficult to find good sources. books? written by random dude. wikipedia? written by random dudes. school books? written by a government that wants you to be a docile worker. where do you get information from?

  • as if a book written by any random dude would be any better source

  • Yep

  • AI sucks ass for every serious task. I've used it dozens of times to work on research projects, and consistently it gives me responses that sound good, but have holes, like citing works that don't exist, mis-applying arguments, etc.

    these problems never appear if you ask it standard questions, e.g. simple exercise questions from the classes. it always solves those correctly, probably because they exist in the training data. but try to ask it anything where logical inference is non-trivial and it starts splicing facts together in ways that don't end up straight.

    anyways, all being said, it's still great for routine tasks, and for informing you about basic knowledge in a new field. since basic knowledge is all written down in books somewhere, AI knows about it quite well. also, coworkers make mistakes, and lots of them. if i sum up all the steps of progress that coworkers make and that AI make while working on a new project, i'd say it's about on the same level. coworkers tend to think about new topics more seriously, but also they often just don't respond, give up, never call back etc. meanwhile AI tries to output something, even if it's wrong.

    all that being said, there will still be a decline in knowledge worker jobs, but not so much because of AI being excellent at actively exploring new areas and kinda spreading out to take over jobs, but instead because like 99.999% of our jobs are kinda routine jobs anyways. people always tell themselves they're special, and they are. but at the same time it's mostly routine jobs. these are not mutually exclusive. and that's why a lot of jobs are still going to vanish.

  • what knowledge workers are for, applying knowledge to novel situations.

    how often does that really happen in your daily life, and how much money do all people in society make with it?

    i get a feeling that this mostly applies to scientists figuring out new stuff. which makes about 1 in 10000 people in society. the amount of money earned through wages that way is rather little. most knowledge workers really have an office job where they fill paperwork, send it to someone else, do calls, etc.

  • basically it's what i've been looking for. a place to horny-post but also discuss serious issues with actual understanding of reality. i'm thoroughly sick of the vibes-posting that dominates r*ddit and every other mainstream platform. i'm sick of the ads, of being distracted from important issues with video games, the newest gossip, etc.

    i really just want a meaningful place in the universe. if that seems "stiff" to other people, well then i guess i gotta care less about what other people think of me. i gotta be used to it by now anyways, considering i've been very autistic my entire life.

  • Is it morally wrong to be non-vegetarian?

    Jump

  • is it morally wrong to breathe? i mean, you're using another being's oxygen.

    the question isn't whether it's right or wrong, but about where you draw the line. that you can only decide for yourself.

  • What was your experience with cheating (romantic) like?

    Jump

  • i never got jealousy. it's a foreign feeling. anyways, i'm poly.

  • Are friends just a form of casual entertainment?

    Jump

  • it depends on who you spend time with

    i personally never liked the feeling of having to be responsible (towards others, but also towards myself). idk this is more of a "what type of person are you?" thing.

  • Do you ask polyamorous people they're polyamorous?

    Jump

  • doesn't hurt to ask. better be informed than taken by surprise

  • What do your daily meals look like each day?

  • yeah high protein + high fat seems to rule
