Thanks for the nice day

Sadly I do believe corporations will be the first to send astronauts deeper into space then any government agency has so far

If ya remember Altho you won’t remind me in 15 ish years when we send someone to the asteroid belt

Altho I will say that space x will be sending people far out on government money

Sorry definitely gonna make multiple comments his father I believe owned an emerald mine which employed slavery and he is known to have benifits from that

Agree with everything up to that part so far

I think it's in reference to security. Facial recognition software and ability to access one's pulse temperature breathing pattern their body language these things are starting to be developed for people who have seizures to know that they'll be happening before they start so the person can lay down. Think of like an artificial dog for seizer patients. If you take that technology and perfect it you could put it into any camera system with the right sensors and it might be able to tell you if someone's about to shoot up a place or is thinking about robbing it for harming somebody. The data can be used to preemptively signal an artificial police officer. If one is actually on the scene at the time given its artificial, all the information can be calculated almost instantaneously and imagine someone pulling out a gun and their shot with pinpoint precision before they even get the gun out of it's holster all the way. Now imagine if this system was engaging every single person in the room with that exact precision of understanding and ability to read a scene. It would make a lot less mistakes than a human. Not saying I condone it but I could see that as a possible future scenario

Good post

This is the most important part, methinks. Given how fast the tech is exploding, it's vital that we bring down the costs of essentials first. Food, drink & basic consumables. This will soften the blow of any and every commotion that happens as a result of high unemployment. We need the robots asap. The displacement of white collar workers will leak into blue collar jobs. People will chase manual jobs if their survival gets on the line. The robots may be too primitive to steal your trade job, but the junior dev that just lost his is not.

Haha, interesting. Next, ask it where we're going to get all the energy (hydrocarbon molecules), electricity, and rare-earth metals to continuously make, repair, and replace all these AI robots.

We are going in circles a bit, but your point, of course, is that current AI models cant do symbolic manipulation, which is very evident when they do complex maths.

The real question is however if you can implement a classic algorithm in a probabilistic neural network and the answer, of course, is yes.

Especially Recurrent Neural Networks, which are, in theory, Turing Complete, can emulate any classic computer algorithm, including 1+1.

I say so far because I'm not blessed with the ability to see into the future, and I don't like eating my words.

Yeah, you are correct. Leadership is important. Musk has been important to SpaceX since the early days. That dynamic has likely changed since the regularity of Falcon 9 launches (like 3 launches in 3 days or something, it's fucking insane)

Musk is an idiot for getting involved in twitter. The only way to fix twitter is with diesel and matches (along with most other social platforms)

No comment on the slave owner thing because that's new to me.

We're still quite a while away from SpaceX sending private astronauts for space colonisation. It will mostly be scientists from nasa and other space orgs

I don't know you and therefore cannot and will not make any comments on whether you're stupid or not

Bonus: Have a nice day :)

The fact you say so far is all that really needs to be said

No matter how qualified of workers you have or even leaders

If the guy at top can randomly fuck everything up at any moment

Aslong as Twitter keeps musky occupied I do believe space x will do amazing things

But the fact we have a slave owner raised man child leading the future of space exploration is a tad bit scary

Maybe I’m just stupid tho

You describe exactly the jobs an AI would be superior at. Logic and analysis are things humans are not the best at, we have flawed memories, incomplete info, and emotions cause us to behave irrationally. I would much rather go to an AI doctor that has the entire world’s knowledge at its disposal, it would be the most knowledgeable and rational doctor one could imagine.

As far as fiction, the rudimentary ChatGPT is already capable of creating fiction on demand today and that level is going to look like tinker toys compared to what will be available in a few years.

Hasn't done anything wrong with the company so far. Anyway, Gwynne Shotwell is in charge of Starship now and she's as qualified as you can get in SpaceX.
