If you make it to the top of HN with this Ask and it ends up crashing the website that was self-maintained after all these years, how will we fix it? Now that's a question.
Our bodies are formed by waves in all ways; even those of natural survival are formed by waves - our bodies respond like plants to light we just don't think of ourselves as photosynthetic in that way. The human eye is the greatest overall seeing object on the planet and it is 100% formed by wave information.
Consciousness is a wave. There is no soul. Matter is metaphor there is no difference only how we perceive solidity; which is simply scale.
All AI projects need to be immediately nationalized. None of the people in Tech have shown themselves responsible enough for it and it will only be used against people.
I didn't read the whole thing because the answer is simple.
The fall of the Berlin Wall was not the end of the Cold War and the paranoia, distrust and apathy you sense now are the culminations of Russia's Eastern German techniques to the West.
We have been in an almost entirely psychological war since 1991. The decline of the West was primarily due to the fact we had a high trust society that foreigners from Europe took advantage of in order to utilize their Old World schemes.
Europe is an ethnocentric battleground that has exported Irish Unions, British Racism, Jewish Banking, Italian Mafias, Russian Dystopianism, French Elitism and German... well, Germany, to the rest of the world. At various times these groups have worked together, not unlike American Suffragettes and Teetotalers or Abolitionists and Federalists, to advance their own agendas. Russia, after the fall of the Berlin wall, needed technology and access to foreign markets in S. America and Africa so they joined political forces with the elite of these European networks to do just that.
A new Global Oligarchy began to emerge and they have relied on the techniques Russia used to depress and subjugate it's vassal states to the peoples of Europe and America for the purpose of creating the confusion and paranoia necessary to short-circuit civil action against the consolidation of power and wealth within those countries by their elite. Primarily done through media and manufactured conflict.
Censor, downvote and otherwise dismiss without any intellectual pursuit. If that's what you did then it's an identity for you and evidence to the contrary won't matter.
If we are discussing gut/brain connection in one way why not in others?
Sounds like a strategic way for Google to exit a business they aren't making much money on without spooking investors with fresh revenue concerns as AI ramps up as a potential replacement.
Not that it will. I'll die before I let AI be used for advertising.
This is a first world manipulation into some kind of contrived "workers unite" hit piece.
This has nothing to do with real AI and instead this author is trying to pass off hacks and gapfills as an entire industry or pursuit for the purpose of manufacturing suffering or abuse that isn't there.
This author has a terrible perspective.
If we have to enslave the whole world for 1 year to build an AI that elevates all for eternity. Would you do it?
> If we have to enslave the whole world for 1 year to build an AI that elevates all for eternity.
I think this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues in the article.
Using your analogy, the article is asking the question: "if we have to continually enslave entire nations to build an AI that a single private corporations benefits directly from, and individuals in first world countries benefits indirectly from. Would you do it?"
The reason it's unethical is because of the system of exploitation we live in. So to answer your question yes, if we remove that system of exploitation and everyone benefits equally after suffering equally for a year I would "press that button" so to speak. The problem is that's not the reality for AI and those who work to support it.
Impossible? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely.
Tipping was originally a way to get your food before everyone else. It's not an economic business model.
Raise prices and be transparent with pricing - which is difficult with tipping since most people are bad at math and don't take out a calculator to see what $127 meal will really cost.
Tipping is a service tax and becoming an entitlement to a generation of workers who have never and likely will never have to really work.
No. Tipping is going away. Learn how to pay your employees properly.
