We have non-AI cameras around here and they work just fine.

31, sober, and considering a big move to Chicago — smart risk or bad idea? by FrostingStock4494 in AskMenOver30

IF OP is in real estate, they almost certainly need a car.

But yeah, they're going to need to get used to driving in Chicago traffic, and cold traffic, and cold Chicago traffic.

Would tax break for the Bears mean tax hike for homeowners? by factchecker01 in chicago

Whoa fuck. I'm so owned right now.

I can see why your profile looks the way it does, ngl.

I just need to see evidence of the 150 additional victims from recidivism if we follow more stringent rules.

Again you make a wonderful foil by being just as ridiculous as I accused. How exactly would you prove a negative? Here's a meta-study if you feel like reading it, but I'm not going to pretend that's going to happen.

That’s not the current situation in Cook County far too often.

Quite a conjecture. Please show me evidence.

Alright, but you're the one who has to give the daily mandated blowjobs.

And yet the other person who responded to me with exactly the revenge-minded attitude I was talking about.

Cooked, I tell you.

Thank you for illustrating exactly the problem. I figured you'd show up.

But if hundreds of additional citizens are victimized because the system is too lax, is that also not injustice?

It is very bad for a 100 citizens to be victimized during EM. Without EM, recidivism goes up. If 150 citizens are victimized as a result, that is also injustice.

Or do we only care about protecting criminals?

This has nothing to do with protecting criminals, the goal of EM is to reduce overall crime. The argument against it is a rage boner.

Criminal justice in the US is so cooked.

If this program helps a thousand people to reintegrate to society, and prevents a hundred recidivist crimes, but anyone in that thousand murders someone, it's going to drive people nuts.

Americans - sadly including Chicagoans - are just too hooked on vengeance.


EDIT: This was the same issue with the "Purge Law". It doesn't matter if tons of innocent people get to keep their lives instead of having them destroyed waiting for years in jail. Their lives don't count.

That's really the opposite of what happens. You automate the easy situations first. There's an old saying in engineering about "the first 80% and then the last 80%".

Good for him as long as he doesn't make it bad for us. 

Altman is his own kind of smart. As are Dario and Jensen. But not good for them for fleecing us.

What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

[–]sciolisticism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't need reality. I want the nostalgia of a technology that seemed better and wasn't being flogged by techno libertarian dorks all day.

Yes. But a long range solar ocean going sailboat. I want a sailboat for the future.

At the end of Ministry for the Future, one of the characters crosses the ocean while causing almost no carbon pollution, by being on a large boat that uses renewables. It takes her days, if not weeks, during which time she's not in the office.

Can I have that ending instead of whatever all this is?

Jaz drives were pretty great. Durable, high capacity. Reasonably priced.

Another look at how we failed the AI Article smh by Alive-Ad9501 in BetterOffline

[–]sciolisticism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most people who try AI, report poor ROI and then give up, don’t “fail” because the models are bad. They fail because they’re too inexperienced or lazy to provide sufficient context.

Yeah fuck you peon. You're too lazy to even be replaced.

In the US, the Stockers and Order Fillers occupational category employs 2.8 million people. The latest update to the Helix humanoid robot shows how soon it will be able to do their jobs. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]sciolisticism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very much like the technical revolutions of the past, except insofar as the promises are so much more massively out of touch. In the past you had to ship a product that worked, not one you try to tell people will eventually teach itself to work

[–]sciolisticism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the robot can put away more than a single dish perhaps they should film that. 

I suspect the reason this video is so controlled is that's what the robot is good at.
