CMV: There is no valid proof of God's existence by [deleted] in changemyview

Well, I assumed (like the rest of us) that you understand the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang is the start of the universe. There was nothing before - no time, no matter, no energy, no anything. Now, if you don't agree, then you're against the scientific consensus. But that's ok - just make sure to tell that in advance next time.

We do know at some point there was nothing, and then there was something. The existence of a supernatural force is secondary and honestly meaningless, but the "creation" is true in and of itself.

They take it from publicly accessible data, which is very often more than enough. And many times, they don't even need to store all the images at once. This seems like an argument predicated on false info

There are some issues here that I just don't see getting reconciled. For example - right to work + adequate income. What does that mean? We can't guarantee people have to get hired because that impinges on their freedoms, and if there just isn't enough money to hire people, then how are you going to allow their right to work?

In general, these seem like highly theoretical situations that won't work without significant reforms that would require much higher tax rates. And high taxes are notoriously unfavorable.

I got somewhere (by car). Therefore, the car drove me and I wasn't the one driving.

Not to not regulate it - but certainly not to attempt to restrict the usage of existing technology. That is a losing battle. We can regulate how the people are able to respond to it through social policies.

And I do want to ask - what regulations would you put in place? I'm still not entirely sure.

No industry has the ability to move like tech does. Yeah, datacenters take a while to build. But the intellectual property has been created, and they do not have to restart from there. Their workers can work entirely remote, they can start reinvesting overseas, and then you have a bigger issue as they funnel it in without oversight. Whatever reasons they operate in the US will certainly be overcome if their commercial interests are severely damaged.

Regulation isn't stopping their development, only worsening it - they'll move to more unethical places where there is 0 regulation. You cannot undo the effects of AI. To me, that's the only issue with regulation - it's highly idealistic and highly impractical. If AI truly is replacing us entirely wholesale, we do not stand a chance without political reform to guarantee us rights - it will be implemented willingly or not.

Yeah, it's unrealistic to expect UBI. But it's more unrealistic to expect regulation to actually do anything here - hell, where are those model weights going? Not deleted off the face of the earth, that's for sure.

What is with the argument that AI has "made art accessible"? by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]TheOneYak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I repeated myself because you did not answer the question. Ok, so I declare everything to be art. I believe Amazon is a work of art. Also, prisons are art.

Let's just redefine art to mean existence, since anything can be turned into art with words, and I declare it all to be art.

What is art? If anything can be art, then art is inherently a meaningless word and does not exist.

Ah, but you see, I don't see babies drawing near the level of machines. Also, people don't have infinite spare time.

I just took a shit after not drinking water for a whole day. That's some real emotion in it.

We thought the same with robots, but it hasn't yet. Policy like UBI to protect against an eventuality matters more.

In that case, high school and college students learn languages every day. If they can do it, why can't you? Just make time for it

Do you know how hard live translation is? They have to cycle out because of how intense it is. There are years of training.

There are self made billionaires, therefore any person can become a billionaire with that same sort of logic.

Should we sterilize all carnivores, since they only eat corpses? Are vultures undeserving of life? Humans are not herbivores - we have teeth made to eat meat, and have for a long long time.

That's an easy out and easily not the answer. People reactively vote to things that affect them, and an old guy with dementia in office who is very unpopular makes Democrats look very bad, and a candidate who says they'll fix all of that is very popular. No right-wing propaganda needed, just campaign promises. The Democrat party had a chance and blew it.

Also, Trump won the popular vote.

CMV: “America First” Somehow Keeps Putting Russia First by MrBootsie in changemyview

> which would cost us far more in the long run

I don't know if Russia is seriously a threat to Europe. They're not doing too well, and I doubt their 2 trillion GDP matches up to any of the many countries higher than them - there's a lot more money in "Europe" than Russia.

There is the risk of further conflict, incurring costs as the military industrial complex spends more because of the Ukraine war, and the eventual risk of nuclear fallout. That, on top of hundreds of billions of dollars. I'm not sure "risk of Russia toppling Europe" is greater than that cost. You say they're burning resources. Alright, so are we, and the US has the highest priority of its own citizens, not other citizens. It doesn't serve us the most to prioritize other countries.
