For comparably paying jobs outside of tech, that's that's pretty uncommon. And it's not like there aren't strong exit opportunities for their corporate employees. | ||

A frightening amount of accounting, law and administration is beginning to look like it could be automated. There's a lot of journalistic (and other) hype around AI that far exceeds where we're actually at and how fast we're actually advancing. I wouldn't panic. | ||

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell directly said recently that he believes the women who have made serious allegations of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore, and he called on Moore to step out of the race. On ABC’s This Week today, George Stephanopoulos asked McConnell about whether he’ll push for Moore to go before the Senate Ethics Committee. “We’re gonna let the people of Alabama decide on Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate,” McConnell said, “and then we’ll address the matter appropriately.” Stephanopoulos asked him if he thinks Moore should be in the Senate. He reiterated he’ll “let the people of Alabama make the call,” and the Senate Ethics Committee will “have to consider the matters that have been litigated in the campaign.” www.mediaite.com Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the pedophile party of america. | ||

Hype or not, we're approaching an age where we'll be able to replace both manual labor and some job that require higher education simply because human memory and cognitive skills become useless compared to what a computer has. A necessity for an infrastructural framework is on the horizon that addresses issues like: universal wage, mass unemployment (how to let people live meaningful lives), AI ethics, resource allocation, governmental bodies etc etc. The traditional way of living needs to be eradicated completely before we can embark on the next chapter of the augmented human experience. Society already has a difficult time keeping up, dragging (un)educated people along who're out of the loop or are unwilling to face the changing times and the pace they're changing at. What good is achieving a status quo or changing infinitesimally really, when literally every aspect of our globe will look vastly different (or at least has the potential to) in 50 years? I've been ready for a mass overhaul of (inter)national politics and the way bureaucratic and legislatory systems work. It's time we stop blindly grasping for solutions to see what sticks and actually use our collective brains for once to have some foresight at the dawn of this new era. Let's grow up, people. | ||

Or will it be business as usual and we will simply find out as we did with the gianforte thing, that the republican base and party is completely without shame and devoid of morals? The second bit.

There's also the incompatibility with human nature, but the first problem is good enough to sink the ship. | ||

Precisely because its not shackled by human nature. But then, all forms of government would probably be improved by handing it over to an AI. | ||
