No one is required to have an answer to a problem in order to just identify that problem.

It's actually unbelievable how blatantly corrupt the united states is now.

Just beyond words.

I still lament buying a G5 PowerMac back in the day, top of the top spec, absolutely killer machine. Thousands and thousands of dollars. And it just ended up as ewaste while my freaking 486 is still chugging along.

For second hand cars, here in Australia we have a youtuber that goes by the name ReDriven, this guy Adam reviews second hand cars specifically and focuses on reliability, and what it's like to live with. He's got a mate who's a mechanic that details all the specific mechanical problems that they see with the cars.

Such an insanely useful little channel and they do amazing work.

The meat industry helps keep humans alive however, whereas the AI industry does not. I think the argument between the two needs to factor in the actual reason for the emissions.

Eating meat is ecologically unsustainable but it has an actual reason for it to exist.

As much as I flatly do not believe LLMs can have anything close to consciousness, I definitely agree that the argument of them being just a probabilistic word matching engine can also be applied to our own brains lol.

> Those that always saw the human as a necessary bottle-neck, and those that actively sought and enjoyed interacting with another human brain.

Yep. The problem I feel is that humanity and society evolved via human interaction over the span of tens of thousands of years. And then in the space of a decade some of the people who benefited from that development feel so comfortable in their lives that they seek to literally end that method of progression for our species.

Ah no. Old Jerry openly declared himself a racist and supporter of genocide.

He needs to get in the bin.

Edit. And he was never funny. I also bet whoevers downvoting this is cool with when he was shagging an underaged girl.

I'm not really sure why you're trying to argue this to me, however there are some very serious risks to running a home still which shouldn't really be dismissed.
