Re: Technological Unemployment News & Discussions

One of the choices is to still think that the current situation is terrible and people are stupid and misguided, but choose to be a better person than some people are. Deriving pleasure from the satisfaction of doing the right thing or at least better than some others. This is a good attitude. I do...

Re: The trans-European transport network (TEN-T)

Are the striped lines ferries or are there plans to build tunnels to Ireland and Cyprus like that?

Re: OpenAI News & Discussions

Microsoft has defeated the FTC and US government in different anti-trust cases before they can probably defeat this court case too. It's a shame that the courts are so corrupt, usually how Microsoft cases go is that the courts start out strong and may even conclude harsh penalties like breaking up t...

Re: Climate Change News & Discussions

Permafrost melt caused methane release and methane release from the ocean floor certainly has an effect on global warming but it's just a component like everything else in the ecological crises. As far as I'm aware the clathrate gun hypothesis is genuinely just a hypothesis, it's not like climate ch...

Re: Babylon Today | My old story is back

Wow! back in 2015 or whenever I originally read your Mother Meki posts I never would have guessed I'd get to see her in person like this. I can really see the hollywood movie in the making in these scenes.

Re: How worried should long-form creative writers be for their jobs in the near future?

But for writing something novel that isn't just reconfiguration of existing tropes I don't think AI will be able to do that within even 100 years. These algorithms aren't genuinely creative, they keep getting more impressive but they're not intelligent. Within this century, I think it's likely we'l...

Re: How worried should long-form creative writers be for their jobs in the near future?

I think it depends on the kind of creative writing you're doing. If you're writing journalistic articles for the NYT and it's not a flagship article I expect most of these news feeds to be entirely automated before long with the aid of a smaller team of human writers that error checks them for criti...

Re: Israel's conflict with its neighbours

Gaza is being systemically removed from the Earth. How long will it be before Israel is held accountable for ethnic cleansing? America too for that matter.

Re: Israel's conflict with its neighbours

https://youtu. be/bJ4FHg74RXY?si=kt1yIp3TJPEYNQ_v It's so unfortunate because a Trump admin will be just as supportive if not more supportive of Israel. The progressives are growing but it will be a few more election cycles at least before they have supermajority in the democratic party. Even then ...

Re: Israel's conflict with its neighbours

Warning upsetting graphic footage



Israel is basically the new Nazi Germany. The government there is one step away from building death camps at this point.
