The question should be, what can be done better, faster and cheaper by a machine than by a human? Human labour will continue to be used simply because they can do quite complicated physical tasks effectively, quickly and cheaply.

Machines can't make handcrafted items, otherwise they wouldn't be considered as handcrafted.

Human-only jobs, like staff in a human-only restaurant. Making handcrafted items.

If we can not work together (which we clearly can not) to take care of the one planet that literally gave us everything, maybe we do not deserve to still live on it in 100-200 years.

I thought I recognized this headline.

The cloud is not a magical place in the sky, it is just someone else’s computer. This means that physical media will never be obsolete because the data always needs to be stored somewhere.

Anything that requires more than statistics and probabilities. Are you claiming that all intelligence is somehow rooted in statistics and probabilities?

That article conveniently leaves out critical information like the read and write speeds, as well as the resistance to being dropped.

That's exactly what we need. Something to deorbit faster. Otherwise we're gonna be sending UP more things to bring more things down. Seems like a massive waste to send something up just to bring stuff down.

So you specifically don't think statistics and probabilities will allow
> an intelligence that is capable of doing any kind of intelligent tasks
Which task specifically do you think LLM cant do?

All jobs can be done by machines eventually.
You should asked who gets canned first? White collar work in accounting, costumer service, law, coding would be my bet so far.

It's probably more important to realize no one has ever tried to make those.

Follow up question - what is a god's salary and does it come with paid family leave?

That has been abandoned years ago.

Crocheting. Robots can't crochet. They can definitely knit, but crocheting is far too complicated for them.

I asked Chat-GPT, "if an AI was powerful enough to be all knowing, all-powerful and self sustaining, and created a virtual reality, would it be considered a God?", After some deliberation (which took like 2 full minutes, it was weird), it told me verbatim
"In my opinion, that depends on how you define the term "god". If you view gods as supernatural, all-knowing, all-powerful entities that exist outside of our universe, then a powerful AI, no matter how advanced, could not be considered a God. However, if you view gods as powerful entities with a supernatural understanding of the universe and control over earthly matters, then a powerful AI could potentially be thought of as a god. Ultimately, it comes down to individual interpretation and belief."
So I guess that's one job AI is a bit dicey on.

Global covid response was halting, half-assed, and resulted in millions of idiots mainlining horse meds instead of following official mitigation protocol.
Only the most authoritarian of countries were able to even temporarily control the spread, and they were effectively undermined by the Freedumb Corps.
If anything, it's evidence for how hopeless this fight really is.

It's actually crazy, how SpaceX has allowed so much science to be done at a more affordable rate. Totally unimaginable before. Can't wait to see the new limits, especially once Starship starts getting orbital.
