It’s because we don’t feel better, we feel tired. It’s an exhausting process, and we don’t get to feel reward chemicals from abstract tasks like that

It’s so insane that it’s legal to use AI to deny claims just as a black box. We’re so cooked

I refuse your defeatist nonsense. There’s 3 years left, progressives are making huge inroads into both local governments and the party machinery, and the old guard is being changed out

Even if I were wrong about it, that’s still the only way out. Obama-like means nothing changes, Biden was Obama-like - we didn’t recover from Trump I, Biden just stabilized the new normal and insisted it’s fine now.

We have to demand better, starting now. While we have the time

Obama wasn’t a progressive, he just sounded progressive. He had a mandate, a majority in both houses, and what does he do?

Continue everything the last guy did, pass the healthcare plan from the creators of project 2025, and attempt to “reach across the isle” towards people openly racist towards him

If we had another Obama, we’d just be putting fascism on hold for another 8 years. We can’t keep splitting the difference with the far right

It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered

Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe

Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early

I think they’re too big to bail out at this point

Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once

Well, must be nice to live in a civilized country…

Are labels like that actually helpful?

I’m genuinely asking. I feel like they’re not, that with or without it you have to forge an understanding with others

I mean, what would an autism diagnosis provide?

At least with ADHD you get really helpful meds

And the humans move around them, guiding parts into place with mechanical assistance and doing the finer details, because it’s really fucking hard to fully automate the process

Right… Conquer the stars…hides new global warming plan to do nothing about it behind back

Yeah, that’s what I want them to do. I want them to install docker, run some commands, correctly identify their graphics card and driver, and get the networking right. Then I want them to pick the model they want and download it

It’s not about making it hard, it’s about having a level of understanding about how this all works. If you’re using AI, I shouldn’t have to explain to you that it can’t search the Internet unless you manually give it that ability. I shouldn’t have to explain that the LLM is just a file, not some magical Internet djinn

Not to mention the horrifying intrusion on our rights by limiting what we can host.

Umm… You don’t have the right to host anything you want. You can’t host CSAM, copyrighted things, and you have to comply with tons of laws if you want user content

I agree with all that

But what I’m saying is you need a human-scale robot good at moving human scale work pieces to their correct place. These will range in size from something like a screw to something like a human sized sheet

What shape does this better than a humanoid one?

You could specially design a bunch of arms that will remove a workpiece from one station to deliver to the next, but do you have any idea how hard that becomes? You have to design each one to do that specific job, and you’re going to end up with a bunch of unique robots that all need to be maintained, and probably need their own backups in case they break

Everything we make is already human centric, it just does make sense to build humanoid robots. You can have one fleet that handles all of it, they’re interchangable generalists. Ideally, they can even do maintenance

Yes, it’s less efficient. Yes, specialist designs would be better at their job. But it is really, really hard to do full automation, and this is a shortcut to get there

Because the automated tools are human scale

Even if you rework them all to be fully automatic, you still need a human scale robot to move the work pieces from station to station

I kind of think we should make it illegal to run LLMs as a service available to the public. They’re still cool behind the scenes, but it seems to only go bad when unprepared people talk to them

You should at least understand them well enough to set them up yourself or have someone do it for you. At least that will demystify it a bit

What he’s saying is as true as it is unhelpful

Relationships are like a ying yang. The people have to fit together

There’s people out there into that. Find one of them, not someone who will settle for that arrangement

Certs don’t mean much, if they help open the door that’s fine. The goal is to get a job.

Get one job fixing computers, and you’re a computer repair technician. Get one job designing networks, and you’re a network engineer

No one will be impressed by a long list of certs. Focus on the ones you want for your first job, and once you get it the certs will stop mattering

He really wasn’t. He had been out of the writing process for multiple seasons, they had him recording off site

The cracks have been showing for years now, I won’t deny he has an energy to his voice acting, but the replacements are fine. The problem is the writing
