If the government forces extreme inefficiency, then that country will be outcompeted by other countries, including getting militarily weaker.

I think solid state battery could change everything. It means the phones will be way, way thin and maybe completely portless.

why bother with PO, when they can just charge you a monthly subscription instead. PO is becoming out-dated in leiu of just, hardware that requires software to run. Your organs will be on monthly subscription. Don't meet your payments? We'll find a way to make you make your payments. Otherwise, well, nobody ever seems to care when landlords evict families onto the street, why would they care when we evict your organs from your body?

The teams of scientists that made these programs don’t fully understand how they work
This is an entire new field of science

​
>Feelings are strictly tied to physical reaction.
Incorrect. Feelings are tied to signal impulses.
​
>Without an organic body, AI cannot feel pain, hunger, empathy, embarrassment, sadness, regret, love, or any other emotion.
Better, but still incorrect. An AI doesn't need to feel those things. However, if made with a capacity to do so, it might.
Probably shouldn't make an AI with most of those capacities. Only "emotional" capacity that might be crucial for an AI is, IMO, compassion.
​
> It just runs programs and mimics reactions it’s programmed to have.
Just like everyone else.
​
>It’s wrong to consider an AI entity to be on the same level with a human. Humans actually suffer and can feel love and neglect.
Yes and no.
It's wrong to anthropomorphize AIs, but if an intelligent, sentient AI emerges, it certainly deserves rights to personhood, as much as that makes sense in the situation.

Avoid generalized invitations to discuss frequently discussed topics (Will AI take over the world? Is Chat-GPT good or bad, etc, etc). Instead, aim for discussion with specific topics (with supporting links if possible), and give detail to the ideas about their future implications that you would like to see discussed. If possible articulate multiple aspects of these future implications to encourage high quality discussion.

> > Hello friends! As we all know, AI is rapidly increasing, and I am scared of it. I want to be a Front end developer and Later On, I want to be a full stack developer I heard that many jobs and careers will be affected in the future, like web development and software development, as we already know that ChatGPT and other software can write code easily. Now I need a genuine suggestion about what would be the best option for the future. Many people are saying that machine learning and AI will be the best, but I'm not interested in machine learning and AI. > 1) What will be the future of Front End/ full-stack developers? > 2) Will it be affected by AI? > 3) Which computer field do you suggest for me?

Reply to comment by stesch in Risk of the hydrogen economy for atmospheric methane by stesch
Yeah it is pretty interesting hydrogen depletes the same hydroxyl pathway that naturally eliminates CH4 and reduces its 100 year GWP vs the 20 year. Conversely, I wonder if (after we've successfully moved emissions on to a sharp enough downward trend of course) enhancing the same pathway might be a especially effective method for fast short term remediation. I see there is some research on this but I guess it's still early days.

Well, Yes. Government need to force corporations to create jobs for humans, restrict full automation and so on. That what unions exist for.
Alternative is a war for survival.

You have a point BUT there’s a progression here.
First they’re going to be crappy emergency-only replacements that break down. And it’ll probably be like that for 10-20 years.
Then they’ll move into the “pretty good option” phase when things go wrong but you can choose between a few treatments. That’s another 10-20.
Then they’ll be in the “unfair advantage” stage where they outperform natural organs and disqualify competitors. 50 years.
And then they’ll be the “most people get them in their late teens or twenties” thing, like braces.

Disagree, sentient AI absolutely should have rights, based on what it cares about.
However, trying to apply human or animal rights on them is wrong. For an example, even a sentient AI might be completely fine with being deleted, and trying to force it to survive would be immoral.

> You wanna become a computer scientist?
I want to understand this discovery and its impact on capacity of chip production. The article describes the discovery as better parallelism (for “existing”?) algorithms so as to better use NVIDIA’s GPUs.
I wonder what the nature of these inverse lithography algorithms is. A domain specific numerical optimization problem? Why would that be hard to parallelize? Perhaps till now nobody translated the problem to efficiently use the NVIDIA CUDA API?

And when there are no jobs to be had ? Then what? Tesla bot has not begun production yet but it already has over half a dozen potential competitors lining up to take as many labor positions as possible. Unless of course you want the government to force businesses into highering people instead buying new equipment. What next a band on further technological progress?

Extremely reddit response, I'm impressed with the adherance to stereotype here. "Do you even understand ethics?" Lol, comedy.
Regardless, I simply don't preclude AI from possibly having some form of emotion. Maybe it wont. You certainly believe that it wont, from what you implied. I fail to understand how that assumption is any more valid than the reverse. What you're saying uh, frankly, doesn't make much sense. How can not assuming the form an AI mind will take be anthropocentric of me. You're just throwing around buzzwords at that point, without understanding what they mean.
Do YOU understand consciousness perfectly? Who are YOU to advocate for it lol? What gives you the higher insight that makes your opinion more valuable here? You seem to think the value of life lies in the body alone, which I certainly find perplexing. Like I said, an AI does have a physical presence in the world. It does not exist in another dimension.
Why does the human body alone grant meaning to life? Why do you even so closely assume emotion must be tied to the body? Somebody who's completely paralyzed and cannot interact with the world through that manner still has a full richness of mind that has value. Yes, the body and our specific physical being is often critical to our conceptions of the world.
However, I absolutely reject the notion that our specific form of consciousness is the only one which might hold any value. It's simply the only one that we know and understand. Like what, if we met an alien species that didn't think exactly like us, would you advocate that it be wiped out?

There's a point where a product becomes too inconvenient to buy, and it stops selling. People don't buy with no mind. That's what doomers who believe in that npc nonsense think. People are lazy about research not actively suicidal in their apathy.
If you sell an organ that fails every time and needs to be replaced. That organ will not be bought. It's to expensive to keep getting it and someone will sell a cheaper one to undercut competition. Apple gets away with it cause their a status symbol. No one can show off their custom heart to wow the common folk. It works less well if it's not packed in properly

I was thinking the other day, it would be nice if it could just predict the weather successfully. I’m sure we have enough sensor types, if we just increase the quantity and feed the data to it, it’s more a matter of ml than ai. Weather men could be the first job lost to ai and no one would really care - they’re wrong half the time anyway

Higher voltage allows more wattage. It’s the amps that create the heat which makes things fry.
And if we don’t have nuclear as a base load carrier, we will need most cars connected to the grid during the day and especially a commute times. The duck curve sucks!
