Has the War Against AI Already Been Lost?

The cops have the best shit.

Don't worry, guys. When AI takes everyone's jobs, the rich who have always exploited our labor, lobbied to cut social programs, and evaded taxes will totally start to share all their wealth with us.

There's also no such thing as sustainable abundance, even if Nazi Salute Muskrat were genuine in his offer.

And considering that he offered to solve world hunger if a feasible plan were presented to him and then didn't follow through at all when it was, he's definitely not genuine.

We're absolutely fucked. People are struggling to pay rent, and these fuckers are making us pay for their power-hungry data centers.

Real life is too stupid to be real. Hey, if this is a simulation, and any observers are reading this, can you reboot this program, please? Clearly, it's breaking down and needs an update or something.

When will the bubble pop. Place your bets. Place your bets.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Just another fad.

This is like asking Eminem if he'd use a chatbot to write some lyrics for him if some of the rhyming gets too hard or he just can't be bothered.  Such a stupid question that you deserve to get smacked for asking it, assuming he came up with it.

I saw a Sabine Hossenfelder video today about whether AI will make human mathematicians obsolete. She didn't seem to think so.

Back on the 14th of March (pi day) I saw a video with Matt Parker (and friends) use a set up of 10,000 dominoes to calculate pi to 3 significant digits.

Not so impressive, but not too bad for stupid dominoes.

For the Life of Pi I can't figure out where that tiger came from.

I've seen that book, but I've never gotten around to reading it. Is it worth the effort?

Es tut mir lied, I just watched the movie. Largely against my will toward the end.
