> A working group of 80 uneducated idiots

This is why people hate IT nerds.

> This is such a far fetched/reactionary comment, that it's frankly surprising it hasn't been flagged.

"This is such a wrong thing to say that I'm surprised you haven't received reprisal for it"

Proving his point in real time

> It doesn't appear to have a concept of time or reconciliation (both issues we're having at work). A memory might be relevant for a week or a month, but it might no longer matter after that ie "we're migrating systems so keep <thing> in mind"--that doesn't matter after the migration is complete.

It doesn't even understand when its current context isn't...

See the whole issue of refining a concept, removing a few points or notions, and it will write a paragraph why a point that isn't in the text anymore when no version a human will read ever had that point in it.

AIDR

One thing I despise about ChatGPT is how it goes on 4 paragraph tangents about how slight details are wrong, and then always ends with a paragraph of bolded fucking text rephrasing some statement in my original question, but with a huge amount of hedging to exclude minute counterexamples.

> We cannot possibly expect all parents to take proper care of their kids. This has never been the case and never will. That's why we have schools and other institutions that oversee our growth within society.

From both someone involved in raising kids as well as someone who knows a lot of teachers: none of the involved parties want that. Schools are at best for teaching, but never for raising.

You're missing my point. Shortage and conflict is the default. It's not a fault unique to capitalism, and to say that it's its fault is missing the mark.

I'm not saying it's an ought situation or even an is situation; it's that I disagree with his diagnosis of what causes it.

> Capitalism has defined ‘health’ itself as a capacity to submit oneself to labor

People keep mindlessly saying this but I have never seen evidence for it. Before money was ever invented the idea was already there that if you're healthy you can sustain yourself. All 'capitalism' did was saying "and most people nowadays perform abstract services in trade for an abstraction of a promise of a pinky swear saying "if you trade this pinky swear to me you'll get some food".

It's not 'economic systems that are fundamentally hostile to bodies that cannot produce consistently', it's a fundamental reality of life. Either you are capable of getting enough food for you and your family, either directly by farming, gathering or hunting, or you are not.

> Well not everyone has the privilege to buy new books, especially course-mandated books that the professor "coincidentally" wrote and costs hundreds of dollars.

Do you even understand what you sound like? "Writing in something you own is vandalism because poor people".

We could also fit more people in if you crushed everyone, dehydrated them and stored they remains in huge compressed cubes. Efficiency is not all we want

> The actual cost is going to drop 99% in ~4 years.

And fusion power is just 2 decades into the future!

So many China shills running interference and whataboutism...
