1. Make $100 from selling oil. 2. Use the money to buy other local services.

There, now your GDP is just 50% oil.

Just rent a god damn trailer when you need one. It costs nothing and is available at every gas station (at least where I live).

"Most Indians oppose legal abortion"

(https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/03/02/son-preferen...)

"Classical Hindu texts are strongly opposed to abortion:

one text compares abortion to the killing of a priest another text considers abortion a worse sin than killing one's parents another text says that a woman who aborts her child will lose her caste"

(https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/hinduethic...)

Abortion is illegal in a majority of Muslim majority countries. The exceptions are usually post soviet states

Please, I'm literally just saying it wasn't a good comparison.

Only if you disregard everyone outside USA/EU.

It can be both, just like assisted suicide. Not sure how this has any effect on my argument. Advertising for an assisted suicide clinic, no matter your views on assisted suicide, is not the same as advertising for a sucide hotline. I think this is a fair comparison.

False equivalence. Killing something and trying to stop someone from killing something is not the same.

Making it always talk back would not be an issue, just like making it a complete sycophant would also be easy. Any form on nuance would be hard. E.g. if i'm complaining about my job it should talk back if i'm being unreasonable. But also take into current state of mind, etc. Maybe using thought chaining you could get something like this to work but from my experience, i doubt it would be very good.

Good comparison. An AI companion will never talk back or tell you that you're wrong. Kind of similar in my mind to how fast food restaurants won't serve you anything that's too "hard to swallow".

I'm sure they will. Just waiting for the whole thing to die down a bit to get less of a reaction.

There's a single medium.com grifter claiming 100 trillion with nothing to back it up. 1 trillion for the unavailable instruct model and considerably less for the chat model is most likely.

Most people at my office seem to get sick from their kids who in turn get it from daycare. Should employees pay for that as well? I guess the alternative is to just never employ parents.

Hey, thanks! Sometimes I feel like we don't get the recognition we deserve (winky-facy emoji) (hot and sweating emoji).

Maybe it's a butt full of prepaid debit cards?

Why are you counting only fatalities? They are low because modern cars have lots of safety features. In 2021 there were 5,400,000 medically consulted injuries related to motor vehicles.

Venom, Solid, Solidus, Liquid, and Naked Snake are all different people. Naked becomes Big Boss. Solid, Solidus, Liquid are clones of Big Boss. Venom thinks he's Big Boss. I don't understand what's so confusing? :)

Uh huh, your glock won't do much against the AI drones.

There might be a positive correlation between these things depending on the business model :)

Could you really expect ASICs to increase performance exponentially if Moore's law is dead?

As for new algorithms, surely this would be more of a logarithmic increase for any specific problem as it gets harder and harder to improve on existing knowledge. Has, say, sorting become exponentially faster since Tony Hoare invented quicksort in 1959? My guess is no.

Could it be possible! This old saint has not heard in his forest that Moore's law is dead?

Great, with AI management maybe asset owners will finally get a board of directors who represent their interests and not the interests of the board themselves.

How many work hours would it take for the average professional artist to get to this level of technical proficiency? Given the opportunity cost I'm sure you could argue it would be a net loss for the employer.

Profit should be aligned with public good. That's where the system is currently failing majorly. Most people in all economic systems will strive for self-gain. The great thing about capitalism is that it realizes that this will always be the case and tries to co-opt this basic human desire into something good.

Just like you have to trust AWS/Azure and any SAAS service in existence.

"Stop hitting yourself"

Normal countries don't have these issues (to the same extent atleast).

"The evil westerners are keeping us poor and our people are emigrating"

vs

"East europe is increasingly more relevant"

You appear to have some cognitive dissonance.

It crashes when I ask it to tell me my name. The location part was pretty cool though :)

A high IQ won't help you pilot a fighter jet on it's own.

Imagine fucking up Afghanistan (and Iraq and Vietnam etc etc) so amazingly hard yet still saying this lol.
