She's probably just concerned nobody is going to foot the bill for her social security benefits, and she'd be correct.

Bring back shotgun weddings and the need for bunk beds.

My wife is an OT. One of the companies uses AI to decide what OT is assigned to which patient. One of the things you don't want to do is schedule follow-up visits with a different OT than the one that first assessed the patient. This company's AI has somehow determined that one particular OT always gets assigned everyone. Every day a human has to go in and fix it.

if only there was a super easy answer to that problem that is already being pushed by progressives..

but the heritage foundation is much more concerned with the hypothetical baby's skin color than they are about how many people are having. non white people are having better than replacement level amounts..

A contractor of mine has another client whose business is generating leads. They generate like 100 a day during business hours and each one has a fixed return and a pretty high success rate. The owner wanted to go 24/7 so he hired an AI firm to generate leads off hours. Off hours brings like 20 potential leads but they still need human vetting so the daytime people have to deal with what the AI brought in overnight. Turns out, AI sucks at generating leads and his daytime people have to waste time dealing with the overnight AI "leads" bringing down the daytime lead counts. He signed a year long contract with the AI company and pretty much has to abandon it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

why would expressing your opinions on eliminating the maximum tax cap on social security to completely fund the program get you banned?

or is it those OTHER republican positions that everyone talks about being censored for?

fyi: the immigrant that gave the two middle fingers in the photo that went mega viral on the alt right news cycle and was definitely posted here in some thread has been completely exonerated.

It's replacing what humans do. We shouldn't expect it all to be good and/or useful

Sammy's sentencing scheduled for March 28th. You want a friendly 50 to charity? I'm taking over in 22.5. I think you're favourite on the under FWIW. Also, I'm not donating to anything remotely right wing. Keep it friendly. Wikipedia if I win.

That can also lead to a lot of good outcomes. For starters, AI could also create jobs and I don't see it causing a major wave of firings that send folks to the broke house. But I'm sure there will be cases of that. Im pretty confidemt in saying that these convos have been discussed by smarter people with more understanding than us on where this tech takes us - other than the low info, the robots are going to take over.

Lots of good outcomes but jobs cant be one of them.

Wealth without work will be great. No longer listening to celebrities because they are probably fakes will be awesome. Leaving the planet will be massive. Lots more.

I'm hoping to hang in long enough for a seriosuly good pet idog. For otehrs, as per chezlaw's 1st law, there will be sex robots. Then some awesome philosphy about rights and reality.

The transformation is science and tech is going to make these days look like the dark ages within a few generations.

I would think the last thing anyone would want in a sex robot would be AI, or any sort of intelligence.

Them as well.

Not sure there's a clear divide. People already have relationships with sex dolls

The US government blocked the Spirit/JetBlue merger and now Spirit is going bankrupt. Not sure how that's good for consumers. I fly Spirit all the time because I'm poor.

My theory is that "rosy retrospection" or more commonly known as the good Ole days will be more severe than any prior generation. I mean, people are already getting teary eyed over their blockbuster being gone. Now you're going to have to deal with looking back at the memories when you could drive your own car or being able to have sex with a human.

I'm sure sex with humans will hang in there but not much else. We dont whine nostalgically about the good old days when the village only had one phone

I fly Spirit because I'm frugal. Especially to and from Las Vegas, the flights are crazy cheap. I hope this is one of the bankruptcies where they just get more time to pay their bills and don't go out of business.
