Yes. But if the machine has proven to work reliably it will usually do so for its lifetime, while humans are prone to e multitude of errors. Especially in the medical field.

I trust a good machine much more than any human.

That’s such a fucking stupid idea.

Care to elaborate why?

From my point of view I don’t see a problem with that. Or let’s say: the potential risks highly depend on the specific setup.

I see. If moving to another country, where you don’t have to suffer such conditions, is also not an option then I hope you’re looking for something else while you’re at your current job. These are no conditions anyone should suffer.

The idea of a world driven by robots empowered by AI methods, is really great. It gives freedom to everyone with almost no costs. Just doesn’t work so well with a capitalistic society as the one we currently have.

Such uses demand a non-capitalistic socio-economic system. Like some form of communism.

It’s easy to try on that pair of shoes. Those ignorants should go ahead and try building a community, try creating a video with some genuine effort regarding its content and - especially - edit it in an appealing way.

Heck, I was doing some Blender rendering for fun as a hobby and am occasionally recording some demo videos of a project I am working at for my supervisor. Sometimes it takes about two hours to edit a fucking 10 minute video. This is just a huge amount of work. No wonder any creator, who has reached a sufficient level of income, hires editors.

Meanwhile, I work in a straining job where I come home, my knees feel weak, my right ankle is aching like fuck, I am mentally drained, I barely can even put together a thought process that tells me I should even have breakfast while fighting the urge to sleep while I try to have a fraction of what constitutes as a life. As well as work in a place, where I am almost always on threat of being fired for something petty because my management feels they have to have a bone to pick with me by fucking around with me and being snarky while doing it.

Why the fuck are you doing that to yourself? Get another job. It sounds highly unhealthy where you’re currently at.

We don’t even have a clear definition of what “intelligence” even is. Yet a lot of people art claiming that they themselves are intelligent and AI models are not.

They have adapters. But yeah, would be nice to have a slot directly integrated.

Reading comments of people who (hyper-) organize their games as if it’s a project to get through and they have to work off. And I’m sitting here just playing whatever the fuck I’m in the mood in.

I am not in IT security, but find it fascinating what clever tricks people use to break (into) stuff.

In a better world, we might use this energy for advancing humanity instead of looking how we can hurt each other. (Not saying the author is doing that, just lamenting that ITS is necessary due to hostile actors in this world. )

Ragebait?

I’m in robotics and find plenty of use for ML methods. Think of image classifiers, how do you want to approach that without oversimplified problem settings?
Or even in control or coordination problems, which can sometimes become NP-hard. Even though not optimal, ML methods are quite solid in learning patterns of highly dimensional NP hard problem settings, often outperforming hand-crafted conventional suboptimal solvers in computation effort vs solution quality analysis, especially outperforming (asymptotically) optimal solvers time-wise, even though not with optimal solutions (but “good enough” nevertheless). (Ok to be fair suboptimal solvers do that as well, but since ML methods can outperform these, I see it as an attractive middle-ground.)

Some AI researchers found it obvious as well, in terms of they’ve suspected it and had some indications. But it’s good to see more data on this to affirm this assessment.

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

Sure, they will. But some sooner than others. Therefore, you can save money by buying the more reliable alternative.

Yes, if you have money to burn, sure. I’ll go with the financially better approach.

I didn’t want to share a recommendation. I saw a post about Seagate and wanted to share my opinion about them.

Do you want a recommendation from me?

Idk, why you’re repeating yourself. If you have the option to choose between two products and you know from experience that one of them is useless earlier than the other, then it would be a waste of money to buy the inferior product as you would have to replace it sooner and therefore loose more money.

Probably. Although such low level interactions can also contribute. Depending on what someone wants to do or needs.

What’s crazy about that?

Haven’t heard of, e.g., Cambridge Analytica?

Sure. But in my experience Seagate drives are significantly worse. So why spend money on a shit company producing shit drives, if I can spend it on products of another company where I get more use and lifetime out of the product?
