We, ourselves, are essentially biological machines. I'm sure at some point in the extremely far away future, we'll reach the point in which we can create AIs that are on par, or superior to human beings. But that's nowhere near our lifetime, for sure.
Then again, maybe not. It _is_ just speculation, after all.
My parents may live to see self driving cars become normal, or almost normal. Don't underestimate technology as I'm sure my parents would have thought self driving cars were something of science fiction well beyond their lifetime
I think it's safe to say that is not quite a fair comparison, since there's a difference between self-driving cars following a map, and an AI capable of reason and understanding nuance and context.
Flying bitcoin cars when
@JadenFrostwolf you say that now. My parents are in their late 60s
There is a difference between the tech that got us to he moon with less power than a calculator and a car that can do a bit more than follow a map.
Except we had more than just tech with less power than a calculator which got us to the moon: us.
Remember, we're biological machines, remember?
We got ourselves to the moon using limited technology, but we were the ones that created and used those tools, and ultimately actually got to the moon.
AI would make a fantastic filter for biased reporting, incorporating online trends, buzzwords and obvious subjective qualifiers would flag every MSM article pretty much
Exactly.
An AI is only as unbiased as the one in control of it.
Humans have been trying to replicate ourselves, duplicate a better version of ourselves, ever since we first started making tools. Look at how far we have come in just 50 years. 50 years. A little.over half an average human lifespan. I find it hard to believe some kind of near human intelligence AI will not happen in my life time just looking back at how far we have already come in such a short time.
dank meme AI
you should differentiate between types of AI
as someone who's been studying radio formats, I have to say 40 percent advertisement is pretty steep. The format for most programming, radio or TV, is 25 percent.
Also, you could possibly post videos to your patreon ad-free, or with reduced advertising
its not 40% though
its 14%
right now every video has an ad in the beginning
the promo videos replace google ads with direct ads from me
Only issue being that even Google's ads can be easily skipped 5 seconds in, unless the ad is really short.
youtube red's obnoxious ads a few years ago single handedly got me to install adblock
dont worry, i disable adblock for my favorite youtubers
unless youtube is on a "you have bug eyes" ad spree then i just throw my monitor across the room
anyone not paying attention to Qanon, what are you doing? https://qcodefag.github.io/ Together We Are Strong
what are you talking about?
btw @Timcast I love how your using your need for revinue to also make people aware of vpns. They are needed now more then ever in this growingly 1984 era
Also a huge fan, and im actually far right wing XD
๐ค VPNs are actually not that useful
basically useless if you are using a VPN for the internet unless you were trying to bypass geo-lock
They are a step in the right direction
wdym?
I mean that its a step in the direction to remove restrictions that its a method of gaining back a messure of freedom
and in this day and age even a step in the right direction feels like a leap
it doesn't remove any restrictions unless you are in a country that actually censors
like china
well alot of european nations censor these days as well as alot of the regional blocking on sites like youtube
YT's geo blocking still works if you are using a VPN iirc
same with amazon
I do conceed that its not an amazing step forward lol
I just think that awareness of options is good =p
it's not really a step forward though, it just mitigates full censorship
a step forward would be protocols and technologies that prevent both censorship and throttling
Which in this climate of increasing censorship is a step forward
Oh I whole heartedly agree
the US doesn't fully censor anything besides pedophiles and drug dealers
so idk what you mean
Websites are begining to censor
not really
deciding what can and can not be said or seen
if you are referring to the daily stormer, they actually violated the ToS of their DNS provider
lol no im not im just noticing the trends
ok but
a VPN doesn't stop websites from censoring
I never said it would
but then how is that a step forward
Having options made aware means people can consider things in a broader sense
Im not talking about fixing issues here im just saying that alot of tools are out there and people dont know about them
Any awareness of any tool is a step forward for people
and if it helps aleviate the concerns of others hurray
but in most cases VPNs don't actually help you, especially for websites with ads since they use many forms of browser identification
Well I wouldnt know about all that
good paper
ill give it a read ^^
this is smart
"A pair of California lawmakers want to claw back some of steep tax cuts that corporations will receive under the federal tax overhaul signed last month by President Donald Trump."
That could also be read as "A pair of California lawmakers get greedy and make a move that might drive businesses out of California"
it sure could
and they're dumb
For some reason, this reminds me of Seattle raising it's minimum to $15, causing many of the businesses to shut down, leave, or automate.
what makes these types of lawmakers think that businesses who run on razer-thin margins in many industries are able to survive without passing the costs on to their customers
^ this is the result of that type of thinking
Bigger businesses don't get too hurt, since again, they can just leave or automate. Smaller business and smaller/local shops, though, just can't function or keep up.
the problem is those small businesses employ the most people
That's one of the big arguments behind the Fair Tax proposal. Make everything a retail-level sales tax because big companies just pass their tax costs on to their customers anyways.
I sort of agree
but sales tax hurts the poor more than the rich
I don't know if the Fair Tax proposal would actually work, but that's the premise they push
I think property tax would be a better way to go
because housing value typically is lockstep with income and/or wealth
Usually, but not always
Sometimes really wealthy peopele choose not to have a lot of property
oh I agree, some very rich people live meager lives
I'm actually ok with a straight up flat tax on income
or something
I know I would if I had money. lol
if I dind't have a family, I'd probalby live in an RV on the beach
I don't like the idea of living in an RV, but the beach would be nice
lol why not?
have you seen modern rvs
I have
they're right up there with my hosue in some areas
The ones that I would want cost more than a small house a lot of the time
eh, jsut buy a recent used model
let some other poor soul eat the depreciation ๐
I could live in that, I think
