My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

"What’s the difference between AI and machine learning?

Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."

Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What’s your TC?

It’s easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I’m not gonna mod this cesspit, so… Idk… Sucks to be you.

Given a bit of lead time, I believe the slower ship may avoid capture if there are any sort of obstacles like an island or rocks.

However, if we’re talking perfectly flat ocean with no time limit, no obstacles and pefect decision making: I’m guessing the faster ship eventually catches up, as turning from far away doesn’t slow your persuer much.

Decommodifing housing is how you get your family forcefully relocated into a Khrushchevka. I’d be down for limiting ownership to like 2-3 properties, though.

I’m from the North and vote Democrat. I just like to live in reality. You know, where we think about things like who is going to do the dirty jobs when no one has to work unless they want to.

What was your solution for that again?

… And when that half assed solution doesn’t work, are we gonna go without sewers, or are the people with guns going to force someone to do it with the threat of violence?

But no, you’re not living in a fantasy.

All I’m hearing is fantasies from people who can’t pay their rent/mortgage and would rather burn it all down without a plan than work a 9-5. But sure, we’ll automate everything and no one will have to work and we can all live in big houses and play video games and post on social media all day.

I mean, obviously, I won’t be automating everything. That sounds like work. Someone probably wants to solve all the problems, though. We can let them do it in their spare time while we chill. I presume that’s you?

Honestly, it sounds awesome. Lmk when I can quit my job and not pay monthly bills.

So if I wasn’t here- y’all would up and start building the utopia and get the septic robots working.

If you say so. Hey, you know what? Please go ahead and start working on those things regardless. If you manage to build an autonomous sewage worker, you could probably make a lot of money while you wait for the economic system to change. Feel free to comment with your progress, I wish you luck.

I’m not ignoring it at all, I even highlighted it in another comment above.

It is hard to beat the current system that encourages people to work a single profession for ~30 years 5 days a week in order to foster expertise. And somehow, (rightly or not) manages to make most of them feel like they do it willingly.

I am highlighting the very much more clearly forced labor that arises in communist systems. The kind that people can’t gaslight themselves into thinking they do willingly. Which you seem to be ignoring as hard as you can. Stunning projection tbh.

Yes! Onward toward a USSR style system that somehow doesn’t involve forced labor, comrade!

The ideal world isn’t a realistic world unless you can solve for plumbing, etc. If the meme was tax the rich, I’d have upvoted and moved on. We should improve the world we have rather than strive for dreams.

Good question, we should probably tax the rich and make owning more than 3 homes illegal or something.

But if we’re canceling mortgages, then why not strive for the ideal world, ya know?

You lack vision here. If we’re canceling mortgages, then why not get rid of other expenses? Surely water heat and electricity are human rights and should be covered by taxes. And we could all likely agree on food as well. Why would we coerce people to work jobs they dislike? We could live our ideal lives if only we dismantled the economic system one layer at a time.

…just don’t think about the details of how we’ll encourage people to do dirty jobs or you’ll get downvoted. That’s bad vibes.

Plumbers make a lot of money for a reason, yes.

USSR style. We can all be our ideal selves. We can finally be writers and artists living in our own large single family homes who teach children on the side, but only when we feel up to it.

And no one has to be the guy who works on the sewers or anything unpleasant like that. Plus, maybe someone wants to do that work, idk. And if not, uh… robots can do it. Who builds, programs, hauls around, and uses the robots whose sole job is to unclog sewers? Uh, nerds, I guess. Or… other robots, maybe, idk.

There will be no need for forced labor at all under this new system.

The speed camera in question had 17,000 activations per year. Cut that fucker down or increase the speed limit. That’s ~ two speeding tickets per hour. Every hour, day and night for an entire year.

Assuming most end with a reasonable fine, that single camera probably brings in over 700k per year.

Kinda feels like you could make a 4 picture graph from each country with varying levels of grime.

Except NK, they probably only have the one spotless one.

Unfortunately, AI is quickly becoming better at this kind of thing than average humans are. And the internet is doomed for sure as a result.

We’re gonna be swimming in a sea of AI generated, convincing half truths and lies.

They tell Santa about the misfit toy island and Santa’s like oh ho ho! I had no idea, absolutely no idea at all that sentient misfit toys were being shipped to an island. I’d never do that.

<.< . >.>

We’ll uh, we’ll get some of the less misfit ones some homes, howboutthat? Haha what would you say about being my new LEAD raindeer, eh champ!?
