This is getting real close to “I have no mouth and I must scream”
It would be cool if we could make an Ai smart enough to cure a lot of problems.
First we’d have to make an AI. We have not yet.
I don’t think an AI can solve my problems😞
Edison had to go thru a ridiculous amount of trial and error to figure out the right gas and metal to make the incandescent lightbulb. That’s what’s called brute force. AI could conceivably brute force solution like that but the issue would be finding inspiration to solve problems. Like when Tokyo was trying to figure out where to build new subway lines, they used a model layout of Tokyo and a slime mold to predict where the population would grow. The slime mold was 90% accurate as to where the population would grow. That’s where AI needs help.
Disgusting part of humanity to hurt others
This is why science fiction is so important. We saw this coming decades ago on vhs.
Saw what coming? Stupid people? I assure you we did not.
Yeah that’s why Jurassic Park and Jumanji are real right? There’s a T Rex lose in the city right now!!!
Screw The Debt Ceiling, we are already in a Recession!
I’m about to jumpin 😂😂 . Might as well
Let it default!!
The thing is, the problem IS the debt ceiling. They just don’t call it what it is- inflation. I guarantee you that economists in government are WELL aware of this and it’s just simply unpopular to stand for election saying “I’m going to cut everyone’s benefits, get rid of government programs and reduce the size of the military”
They keep talking about all this like it’s the cause when it’s the symptom.
Government borrowing – ANY borrowing, is by the very definition of the word inflating the money supply.
Who is going to “deny” this “borrowing”? Is america going to tell america that it can’t?
Mark my word- NO president, not Biden, not trump and most certainly not their political masters, is going to do the only thing that can solve the problem and reduce spending dramatically. They have confused the public so successfully that people think inflation is a cause and that government can somehow borrow their way out of it. Or for that matter grow their way out of it.
It’s gone beyond that I fear where even if the US were to see huge growth in REAL productivity and output, the money supply is so large and spending so high, it’s probably too far gone.
The only solution is something totally dramatic like go back to the gold standard or something. But government won’t ever do that because they have fallen in love with just printing money.
Ask yourself – if we have been getting so much more productive, so much more growth in GDP (which we have) year on year for decades, shouldn’t prices actually be going down? They’ve sold everyone on the idea that they should go up deliberately so people don’t realise borrowing is literally the same as them taking money out all our pockets right now. They’re “borrowing” from YOU and you don’t get it back, oh and also they’ll need to raise taxes and somewhat lower borrowing so that people don’t realise before they’re all out of office.
You don’t need smarts If all you do is equalize temperature gradiants to background levels.
We’re hot. Program something to dump black-tips at anything warm and not to stop till it reaches background.
Last night was an absolute win for Trump..completely embarrassed CNN to the point, they cut off the last 20 minutes..Trump 2024 ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
‘AI’ would be useful in the future. As long as we don’t use it to run nuclear codes or install it in cybernetic organisms with bulletproof exoskeleton designs powered by hydrogen fuel cells and equipped with laser machine guns… as long as we don’t do that.. we should be fine👌
Disgusting part of humanity to hurt others ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
I think it can be usefull just to protect the soldiers in the battlefield or creat a diversion..
I’m trading my subscription to CNN for one with more journalistic integrity, like the National Inquirer.
CNN is nothing more than a cheap, grifting rumor mill. ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
Typical human thinking, “how can I weaponize this?”
FINALLY!! Someone used the phrase “coming down the pike” correctly!
The impact of AI will be felt by everyone when it is integrated into fine grained comprehensive surveillance. Then we will forget that humans once enjoyed free expression… Inevitably free thinking will vanish also. Welcome to the BORG.
Regarding AI (or anything really..) if there is money in it, it will be done. It’s that easy. No TV “experts” needed.
I’m no expert on AI or robotics but I would humbly suggest that until humans learn to get along with each other maybe we shouldn’t create a technology that has the potential to wipe us all out the first time we get a little uppity ….. Just a thought ….
Just glad we have public debate on this
