Hard disagree.
The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that’s a long chance.
I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity.
It’ll be no worse than the dot-com burst.
Computer hardware isn’t like a cars engine, it doesn’t get knackered after a 100,000 miles.
If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there’s every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.
I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.
But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.
I see no reason why in twenty years AI won’t be as prevalent as “dot-com’s” are now.
What happened with the 24th wrapper?
I’m not telling anyone anything, I’m just saying it’d be shame to end up in another echo chamber, despite the knowledge that I know other people are absolutely fine with that idea.
I’d be fine with the downvotes if they were used as you described, but as there is no realistic way to stop people using them as an “I disagree/I don’t like that” button which is in reality the way they are mostly used. I think we’d be better without.
The average cost of the NHS per person in the UK is £3,268, not being able to opt out of the cost doesn’t make it cheap.
To me it’s absolutely a luxury and despite the NHS not being perfect, there’s an awfully lot of people around the world that envy the system.
How does oxygen fit the definition of luxury?
Though that’s not really the point of your post is it? What you did was read and understand OP correctly but then thought, “won’t it be so hilarious if I make a joke and answered with something that you LITERALLY can’t live with out, instead of contributing to the discussion!?!?! Hahaha delightfully devilish, professorozone!”
That your comment is upvoted is disappointing. It’s Reddit tier crap.
I gave up caffeine a few years ago and I was really surprised by how easy it was and how little I missed it.
Maybe it’s different for me but caffeine ended up being much more of a habit rather than something I thought I needed.
You bring up an interesting point.
Most people wouldn’t consider a cup of tea to be luxurious at all. But if tea was scarce and you only got one cup a year, it would seem absolutely amazing, a special occasion and you’d really savour the experience.
There’s definitely something to be said for luxury which is much more about rarity or restriction rather than the experience itself.
Likewise, flushing the toilet and the shit disappears.
Still better than Reddit, where a divergent opinion is grounds for a permaban.
Not saying that makes it ok though, it still sucks, just a little less.
I often think the place would be better with no downvotes.
If you think a post/comment is good, then upvote. If you think a post/comment is bad, then either get over it and move on or grow a pair and say why.
The freedom of expression means that you have to read/hear/see things that you might not like every now and again, but I’d much rather that than end up in another echo chamber.
I wasn’t trying to say that ethical funds don’t exist, I’m well aware of them. I was saying that when money is on the line, loyalty and ethics often end up second place.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many ethics in the world when it comes to money.
$50 per month for thirty five years saved with no interest at all is $21k, so I can absolutely understand the point of view that it’s not worth it if you’re currently struggling to scrape by to wait 35 years for what might be just an extra $14k
If that $50 has literally no other use to you, then great, if that $50 can provide fair value for you now, it’s a much tougher decision.
AI is in it’s “biplane” stage, just as people in the twenties would have found it hard to comprehend the future of commercialised flight or a man on the moon, people struggle to imagine the future of AI.
AI is the very worse it’s going to be today, in the grand scheme of things, it’s only going to get better.
