Slavery increased productivity quite a lot. That was still eradicated (mostly…)

Seems like a lot of effort to not ride a bike but I respect the pink fit

Technological progress alone (AI included) is not going to solve poverty, homelessness, starvation, inequality, etc.

We have the ability to solve those now. We already know how to solve those problems (no AI needed). But as long as we have capitalism and heirarchies, much of humanity’s labour is going to be spent toiling away at meaningless jobs instead of improving the human condition.

We are in the dystopia you fear we’ll descend into.

That’s a common interpretation but it’s not actually confirmed anywhere in the bible that the serpent was Satan

That’s good when you’re not married. “My spouse” is a good neutral term when you’re married

He literally said “I’m team TERF”

No way… They were definitely doing this because of the environment and cooling zones in 1857! /s

Green spaces have cooling affects around them, so all sides benefit if it’s in the center

Most of my qualms with AI aren’t in the usage of AI, but in its creation (water usage, mass layoffs, etc.—you’ve heard it all before).

To me it’s like asking “What are some good uses for slaves?” (An extreme example to show the point, I’m not trying to say AI is the same as slavery).

Like yeah I could find good uses for it, but should it exist in the first place?

Oh boy it was an amazing surprise for me. I hadn’t been keeping up with the Marvel films and my friends invited me to Thor: Ragnarok (I hadn’t seem the first two).

I was absolutely flabbergasted to see the Hulk there. I was like “What the fuck is he doing here! This is awesome!”

Sometimes it’s great to be out-of-the-loop

…that is not what they said at all

This is likely not the Generative AI, LLM-slop type of AI you’re thinking of.

I hate generative AI. But other forms of AI and machine learning have been used for much longer and haven’t facilitated the building of ecologically harmful datacenters.

For example, AlphaFold, which is an AI program that can predict how proteins fold and is an incredibly useful tool.

I expect that the use of AI here would be similar: something trained for a specific purpose, not just generic generative AI tech like ChatGPT

Colemak claims to not remove QWERTY proficiency, but I think that’s wrong.

I use Colemak at work and QWERTY at home. That way I keep my proficiency at both. I also game on my PC and I can’t be bothered to edit the keybindings for every single game I play

This reminds me of the XBOX 720 memes from back in the day where the console was a sphere or some shit
