There are two possible explanation to this phenomenon come to mind. Either everyone is stupid zombie, and you’re the only one smart, intelligent, capable, uniquely so. Or, you, like a significant portion of non-qualified interviewers, suck at conducting the interview process which gives you an illusion that everyone is stupid and you’re smart, and you don’t want to do anything about it because being uniquely smart gives you good feelings that you don’t want to shatter.

China is getting advantage of a situation like they always do, getting a bunch of resources basically for free. Russia is desperate for any technology, so they’re happily exchanging future of their country for access to a market of cheap toys.
It’s not an allyship in any sense.

China is an ally of Russia

That’s not true in any meaningful sense of the word.

Boy if you really think that, you’re drinking so much cool-aid it’s dripping from your other end already. That’s terrifying in their own right.

I am not an expert on insectology or beeology, I don’t actually know do they learn or not. An emergent entity of a hive seems to be learning better than the individual insect, but we’re learning so much about them even now, I don’t feel comfortable to make any speculations.
I know about mammals a bit more, and know that humans do learn, but the hive mind learning works worse than in hiving insects.

This comment is also bullshit. ML products that sometimes are useful isn’t “AI”, they don’t have anything in common but some group of algorithms that we called “learning” back then when we thought it’s cute to do this skeuomorphic naming.
AI doesn’t exist because the term AI doesn’t mean anything anymore. It barely meant anything back then when computers were the size of a room, and it means less now.
So when you’re trying to smuggly “y’all rubes and peasants, you know nothing of actual magic, only I know actual magic”, you’re starting with the wrong premise, where AI is actually a thing, while it isn’t, no matter how much marketing is throwing around.

Don’t fall into this nihilistic bullshit, if humans weren’t capable of learning we wouldn’t be here in the first place. This narrative isn’t true and doesn’t help. It’s all invented by religions of old to better control humanity, and it wasn’t true then and isn’t true now

I’m done with all of you.

Hey, the feeling is mutual, all of us would also like it if you fuck off to the middle of nowhere. Don’t forget to take all your “useful technology” with you while you’re at it.

When human makes a mistake, they learn, they continue to enrich humanity, they make a blueprint how not to make the same mistake again, if not for humanity, but at least for themselves. It also fuels some creativity so one mistake might lead to something good later.
When a mistake generator makes a mistake, it’s just another mistake in a pile of mistakes that only worsen our collective human experience.

actual AI

Doesn’t exist, so there is the only one statement we can make about it, and it will have to be a blanket one.

prototypes rarely make it to the trash bin

At one of my previous jobs, I was maintaining the product that people prototyped for themselves to check if the idea they’re going to build actually works under high load, it was full of parts that were added only and exclusively as stubs for the simulation. The idea ended up being feasible so they said to managers that they can start working on the product, and received an answer that there is no need, the product is already sold to clients and they just need to package it and write documentation. Eventually they had to hire a whole department so we can actually build an app that was already sold and shipped.

And I’m getting my ass kicked routinely on review for dumb-ass things that I’m letting slide from AI generated output.

Now imagine if you aren’t that experienced and the reviewers aren’t that thorough, or, and this is the most depressing part, review process doesn’t exist. And you get people, even senior engineers, who push that sub-optimal barely working code, but because their project isn’t that complicated, it somehow works, so they continue with it, and after some iterations they get code that nobody wrote, nobody knows how to maintain, and nobody reads. But because a lot of modern frameworks are made so monkey can make that barely work by sitting on a keyboard, a lot of the projects didn’t collapse on itself yet.
And that’s how you get a generation of programmers who lost the ability to program.

That’s the funnest part. You loose your ability to code, and you do it by using thing that isn’t even that good, and you don’t get anything out of it. Isn’t that great?

Meanwhile, you sound like “nft is the future of art” crowd that sounded like “bitcoins are the future of money” crowd that sounded like “web 3.0 is here and will always be relevant” crowd that sounded like…

American people outside of very specific online bubbles aren’t, on average, moral or smart people. The amount of “Well, I hate Trump and I voted Biden, but I wouldn’t vote for a radical socialist communist who is, you know and you know” that I’ve heard both from inside the US and, which is very surprising, outside of the US, is both deeply concerning, and made me lose all the hope in the north American continent.
Voting patterns repeatedly show that those people are more prevalent and/or active than normal humans.

They already do that de-facto, I think all my high power usb3 charger ports are orange, regardless of manufacturer. Codifying it into law is probably a good idea

I guess all those tech enthusiasts will have to buy a cheap bms board that can control those batteries and negotiate the charging. Their brave seven bucks sacrifice in that regard will have to suffice.

I guess so, but I don’t think even with those people included, the statistics will change a lot. Unless there is way more people who were barred from voting, like, millions more. Which means there is so much deeper issue underlying all that, and nobody really talks and knows about it. Which will be so much worse.

Big if true. Like, enormous if true.

I’d say it is as powerful. It’s just Americans stopped believing in their own system, and now their cars are moving the same speed no matter what colour they paint it. They grew too isolated and now they can’t get the power of community to connect back to the source of collective.
