  • This post is based on a false premise. These people aren’t unemployable, they’re being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it’s merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn’t have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.


  • Prove to me that this isn’t exactly how the human mind – i.e., “real intelligence” – works.

    For one, AI as it currently exists doesn’t learn. The AI has to be trained with its weights adjusted in order to actually update its way of thinking. For another, memory is nothing more than prepending your prompt history to your next prompt, there is no actual mechanism of memory, just this hack.

    You’re just going to ignore the democratic party coordinating all the candidates to drop and put their support behind Biden while funding a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Bernie right before super tuesday? Plus having their big media buddies run the story of “the Biden miracle” after getting democratic party stooge Clyburn to endorse Biden and come out ahead in South Carolina (the state that went to Trump in the general election, by the way).

    Also, the superdelegates made it look like the lead that Clinton had was so insurmountable that it was pointless to turn out for Bernie.

    If you think these have no effect then, by the same logic, you’d think that billionaires spending tons of money on PACs has no effect.
