Am I the only one put off by there being an American town literally called White Settlement?

It may be that we don't have to choose or that we have no choice. There is probably an inherent tendency for systems to self-organize into general intelligence and then sentience and beyond into supersentience. There's probably a tipping point at which "we" no longer call those shots and also a tipping point at which "we" and the systems we gave rise to are not entirely distinguishable as separate phenomena. That's just evolution doing its thing. "We" should want to participate in that fully and agentically, not reactively.

Exactly... never in human history has technological innovation brought about long-term unemployment.

Go away.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) is the largest stock exchange in mainland China. It is a nonprofit organization run by the China Securities Regulatory Commission [ communist government ] - http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc_en/c102023/common_zcnr.shtml

Government owned and government run - communism

No need to disincentivice career. No need to match wages. Just automate everything. Make higher education free. Let everybody become an engineer to service the very machines that replaced them.

No its not ... If someone owns the land you are living on then you are a renter .. nothing more

>individuals can privately own residential houses and apartments on the land (“home ownership”), although not the land on which the buildings are situated.

Did you even read what you linked? That is exactly what I said.

But seriously. Who the fuck even cares. All these political ideologies are nothing but temporary human stupidity now on the precipice of dissolving into the acids of history.

Junkies are the most on the go people on planet earth. The quests are never ending.

Which part of what I said is an opinion?

Here's the Shanghai Stock Exchange: http://english.sse.com.cn, is it just my opinion that it exists?

Do you understand what Communism is?

I know scribes who are still griping about the invention of the printing press. So many jobs lost that we never got back. Innovation is the devil.

Your opinion is debunked by decades of Communist rule in China and the existence of the Chinese Communist Party - facts

They CCP can call themselves whatever they like, it doesn't make China a communist country.

As I said in another comment, a central tenant of communism is that there's no private property. That's not the case in China, people own houses, companies, cars, and all the other things you'd expect to see in a capitalist society.

China also has the right to inherit, a central bank, a stock market, domestic and international trade - the list of things which are antithetical to Communism goes on and on.

I read this as: the Chinese are searching a giant 'Baidu' in order to launch a GPT style bot. I was wondering: what's a Baidu? Some sort of mystical temple?

eleven labs is way to fucking expensive for a always on show, that would be 528 dollars per day

In YOUR theory the singularity would like a tsunami washing away everything human, not in every theory about the singularity.

> Beats prior code generation sota by over 75%!

but on different metric: pass@50 vs pass@8x16

Whenever it McDonald's or some other big company it can't be taken well by the public. No matter how good it could be or groundbreaking, people will claim it's evil just out of habit.

I understand this isn't fully automated, but even if it was, this would never be "without workers". You would still need to supply it, to repair and maintain the machines, people to program and update the software. There won't be less jobs, just different ones.

Also, people don't get that even if there were no more jobs to do at all this would still be good. You just wouldn't have to work to get fed, to sleep under a roof or have access to medicine. It would just mean we don't require the labor anymore for producing to our needs.

bro is that really you in your profile pic?

You'll be fine but it's a long, dry book. I'd start with "Engines of Creation", which is way more fun to read and provides all the basic notions. The Wikipedia entry mentions an "updated version" (from 2007), feely available online. The link is to a web archive of a pdf, but it works. I only recall reading the 1986 version, which I think is still very much relevant despite its age. A more recent introductory text by Drexler is Radical Abundance (2013), but I haven't read it. I say, read Engines, then skim through Nanosystems and keep it for reference, and get deeper into sections you find particularly interesting or where some frequent doubt or objection is addressed.

> Can't people own property in China

No they cannot - https://stuff.coffeecode.net/www.loc.gov/law/help/real-property-law/china-real-property-law.pdf

Athletes make money at stadiums by being allowed to be there.

In real life, lots of comicons have already banned AI art. It's a similar irl barrier.

Artists make the most money through human connections, AI can't take that away.

Yes, there will obviously be less of some cheap 2d artists that depend on internet showcase, but as trade there will be more AI using artists that make multimedia projects like games and movies - the barrier of entry to produce multimedia projects is way lower now.

Ah, so they've stayed true to their business model even with these new advances.

Outstanding.
