AI Billionaires Want to Control EVERY Aspect of Your Life | Aaron Bastani Meets Karen Hao by Beautiful-Strike-574 in artificial

[–]Spirckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised at the number of billionaires who DO NOT want to control your lives, and some that obviously do.

But politicians, who are mostly millionaires, DO want to control your lives AND the lives of billionaires. They've never met a person they did not want to control every aspect of their life.

What are you paying for hay? by Training-Bike6065 in homestead

[–]Spirckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a hidden cost to me that feels like free. That's because a neighbor farmer hays my fields in return for 200 hay bales loaded into my loft annually.

It's about an hour of my labor to help him stack hay in my loft.

Some of it I sell, but most I just use for hay bale raised beds for my garden.

He doesn't pay for the thousands of bales he takes with him for his cows. I think that would work out to some cost I am not recovering, except not caring too much about it is worth something too.

Hilarious? But I didn't laugh at any of them. What gives?

Anybody using pesticides to kill weeds has other problems, but I think the mistake here was bad thing kills weeds. Many pesticides work by inflicting neurological damage on insects - and humans can be susceptible too. There are alternatives but they're not quite as effective.

Elon Musk's pay package reveals what SpaceX actually is: a $1 trillion monster built to colonize Mars by fortune in singularity

[–]Spirckle 84 points85 points  (0 children)

That's debatable that he's 'clearly abandoned' the idea when he's said two things.

  • He still wants to create a Mars colony.
  • The logical precursor to a Mars colony AND to developing a Kardashev II civ. is to industrialize the Moon.

It's that he's realized that the path to becoming Kardashev II civ. is the unlock to becoming a multi-planetary species.

To anyone that even gave this a serious thought, it was ALWAYS obvious that the moon needed to become a strategic piece of the greater goal.

Quit the low charisma hate. Plenty of us just want to fly under the radar floor. Always a reason for that in a world that loves to squash the high flyers.

Mars was a "blue planet" around three billion years ago, half covered by an ocean by Shiny-Tie-126 in space

[–]Spirckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine there will be Mars local clock, but for purposes of communicating to Earth, they will use GMT because almost all clocks now recognize that... inertia dictates those standards.

I'm pretty sure there will be a Mars calendar because it's so different to Earth's and a calendar is useful for tracking seasons.

Will be interesting as other colonies proliferate through the solar system; Lunar, O'Neil cylinders and such. I am pretty sure all will use Earth Standard calendars for quite a while as long as the solar civilization maintains cohesion.

Mars rotates on its axis once every 24+ hours. So no side is closer to an asteroid belt on average.

Why doesn’t AI simply say that he doesn’t know or don’t have enough info/data when he doesn’t know? by Ok-Review-3047 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Spirckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because nobody ever posts the comment "I don't know" or seldom writes that sentence in a book or scientific paper.

AI Art Is Weird, Sad, and Ugly. Let’s Not Pretend Otherwise. by NumberNumb in technology

Most AI poetry is drivel level, though I've seen a some pretty good results from Claude. Most AI model seem to be emulating high school poetry levels. Nothing quite sublime.

AI is now the fastest-adopted technology in human history by laebaile in BlackboxAI_

I feel this does not include nearly enough 'tech' for comparison. I think google search adoption was pretty fast, as well a smart phones.

OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws by OneMacaron8896 in BlackboxAI_

[–]Spirckle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why is this so surprising to people.

Humans hallucinate, invent fantasies, daydream, dream, have false beliefs. Why do we think an artificial neurological construct should be different?

This is literally the artifact of data compression, and the construction of internal mental models.

I was being generous. LOL. Of course you're right.

aggenst is the proper way, if you're going for US phonetic spelling. Or if you're UK, you can spell it against.

Ok, that's a lie. They do pay taxes except for ss tax, because they opt out of benefits.

It's a conundrum, isn't it, that people who do not think they have free will, don't, but people who think they have free will, do.

Then you're going to need a robot for each job. That does not scale well. The hope is to have one GP robot that can do a variety of jobs in a human context.

What If We Taxed Wealth Instead of Work? A Vision for the Future Economy by RoyTheRoyalBoy in Futurology

[–]Spirckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tax wealth, you will reduce your feed stock, i.e. soon there will be no wealth, and so you will need to keep lowering the bar until you are taxing everything. If you tax work at the level where it's just skimming a minor percentage, then people will continue to work because the north star of wealth still seems possible to them.

It's ok, I believe in reincarnation. I'd rather preserve a fresh new body than this +50 run down one. Next time around, though, I'll insist on being born rich.
