Oh, he offered to show them identification but they wouldn’t let him.

If someone wants to give voice to these victims then power to them

Yes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.

The part about robots doing backflips causes the robot to wear down faster has me thinking the whole “replace humans with humanoids” should be framed as comparative advantage rather than how many robots would be required to build itself. Given the number of humanoids required to replicate itself, you could take those same complex parts, rearrange them into non-humanoid configurations and have more output both in an interval of time and over the life time of those parts.

I wonder what they’ll name that nuclear disaster after…

“How was the mouth feel of bubba?”

“I don’t want to live in a world where my company isn’t the one company making the world better”

I guess you could say customer service but then again, it’s not really replacing that so much as adding another barrier.

I might be making fun of the product but I am serious about how it is being used.

TPS reports, documents that justify your job, and anything that pads your OKR metrics. Being judged on code quality via code comments? Have AI up that word count. Need more engagement on your marketing campaign? Use AI to make a mythical tai chi master to hawk your product.

The one’s where output quality doesn’t matter, so basically it is good at the bullshit parts of the job.

“So anyways I built a new language luan and you are a bad person if you don’t appreciate it”

I’m hoping it’s Global Hegemony.

It’s a shrewd move as the global south will be feeling the worst effects of climate change and China is the only country that’s offering infrastructure based on renewables at scale.

Are they wrong the complain though? Gordillo seems to have some criticisms for them not endorsing Mamdani

Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group
