If you’re getting this kind of press, you’re being taken seriously by the right/wrong kind of people. 👍

With the greatest of respect Sarah, I don't think you understand the subject very well, and appear to be coming at this from around 2015.

Because I said something you know to be true, but don't like?

1

Rich @mrbusy.com · 21h

Yeah. You're probably right on that score.

A school run entirely by the PE teachers is a scary thought. 😨

Wish thinking.

You evolved, and you're a collection of systems and subsystems that allow you to perform tasks. You might like to think you're special, and magic, but you're not.

Why can't machines grow food. Modern agricultural machinery is largely automated in some areas? Why can't a machine put your laundry in washing machine?

Who said anything about playing with kids? You said "staff". People who need "staff" to play with their kids shouldn't have them.

Why is that an insurmountable challenge for AI? It supposes it's somehow impossible for machines to repair machines, but that's what happens now. You're a machine. I'm a machine. We're just biological machines.

You’re a machine. A biological one, born out of years of evolution. Your brain is a biological computer and your thoughts are a kind of software. What makes you believe a sufficiently powerful AI won’t be able to recreate that?

Rich @mrbusy.com · 1d

Why? When it can do everything you want it to do, bring you information, implement your instructions, manage your affairs, and exert it's power in the physical world, what's left?

Terminal, late-stage Capitalism. That's where we are now. Once they've taken everything they can from the rest of us, they'll turn on each other.

That's what AI is for.

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

Rich @mrbusy.com · 1d

That’s fine. Post it “as-is”, but fake pics are still detrimental.

1

Rich @mrbusy.com · 1d

No. If the picture is faked to look more dramatic, how do I know the story isn’t the same? It undermines credibility.

Rich @mrbusy.com · 1d

Good article.

It’s not just the Tories who are damaged by this though. The fact neither of our main parties can stand up and admit it’s been a disaster is toxic to any real progress.

What kind of plane is that? An AI one!

Rich @mrbusy.com · 1d

Got to be honest. That didn’t go where I thought it was going.

For reasons I still can’t adequately explain, I hated Mandrake.

Rich @mrbusy.com · 2d

I can still remember numbers for my parents, grandparents, dad’s work, and all my childhood friends. If I needed to call Johnny’s mum and dad, I could. Right now.

…and Going Live! obviously.

Oh one eight one one eight one eight one.

Always the same. Get in by telling lies, assuming it’ll be all woke nonsense, inclusivity and waste when they win, only to find it’s actually really hard, and demanding, and deathly serious. Populists are always found wanting in the end.
