Nice.

Well, couldn't call it income tax seeing as robots don't have income. Or will they?

Well he seems to have spoilt the reputation of the whole business community.

But then he wasnt a conventional businessman anyway. Extensively depended on parental wealth and connections to get him out of trouble. Was more of a media celebrity than a domain expert in anything.

History provides better examples. Truman.

If we start blindly trusting anything it better basically be god. We have a long way to go

I mean I would definitely describe the way it processes things as a thought process. Researchers have had to fine tune the algorithm to find something that will simulate the human thought process enough that it produces text that we can also fundamentally understand as (human) communication. In doing so it is dealing with high level concepts in a fluid way like ourselves.

To say "stop anthropomorphizing" this algorithm is dumb because the entire intent is to mimic the way humans communicate on the internet.

It might not have a sense of self, it might be unable to dynamically change... But to me it's at least a rudimentary capture of the thought processes of the brain. It has intelligence in the way we describe intelligence, but nothing more.

Bernie sanders is just a populist. He suggests whatever sounds most reassuring.

All LLM of the ChatGPT kind are essentially trained on the test set 😉

1. All taxes are always passed onto consumers, no matter how they try to scheme it.
2. Unless you are taxing each instance at the same rate of a worker, the result is still negative.
3. Robots can take the place of more than one human.
4. The funding never goes to where they say it going to go.
5. Having tax and regulation that makes it harder for companies to make a profit = companies going elsewhere which lowers your tax pool and kills the remaining jobs.

But the most glaring issue with UBI is that while math isn't hard, it seems that math is really hard.

Just for giggles...

There are approximately able 200 million adults in the USA. If everyone were to get just 250.00 per week then the USA would need 2,400,000,000,000 per year. That's 2.4 with a T.

The U.S. government's total revenue is estimated to be $4.71 trillion for FY 2023

And no matter how much you whittle down the qualifiers for getting UBI, or mess with the distribution or allocation, it's still going to be 25-50% of current tax revenue. We already overspend and increase the deficit. This isn't even considering the inflation and costs of goods as companies pass the new taxes onto the consumer, so that 250 wouldn't even be worth the 250 anymore.

Who can live on 250 per week btw?

UBI is and always will be a non-starter. Because the U in UBI stands for Universal, meaning anyone who can't or doesn't want to work, gets it and don't get me started on the class warfare of requiring some to work while other do not.

What’s the best ai tool that does good summaries (ideally an extension). I don’t want to read that entire article but it looks interesting

AI will eventually replace the need for college, thus removing a barrier between the poor and the rich, access to education.

reddit isn't real life

oh yeah, because anarchocapitalism will surely work great

People already do. I was talking to some one a few weeks ago online, and they sourced ChatGPT in their argument. Of course ChatGPT halucinated half the facts.

People generally don't care about truth, they go with whatever sources are most convenient or entertaining and then trust those.

You mean equivalent to being as trustworthy as a search engine. Probably 1-3 years.

There's still a good reason for which we make 8 year-olds memorize multiplication tables instead of just letting them deduce the answer from the definition of multiplication.

And combine it with MidJourney and you have a kids book

Do you want some toast?

Sorry, this is dumb. He means we'll but it's just an anti-innovation tax.

All this will do is cause larger companies to rig the firing process so it can't be linked to a specific piece of automation. The companies that can't escape through a loophole will struggle to compete.

Artificial gravity doesn’t work so no

So being able perceive and respond intelligently to internal and external changes?

the reason for using AI is that although they are expensive to buy, they are cheaper in the long run since they don't need a salary. if you have to pay more taxes, then you lose the financial reason to buy the AI.

businessmen would simply stop buying, or, more likely, would simply set up their companies in a country with lower taxes.

the most efficient way to raise money for the UBI is through state-owned companies using AI

I came here to ask this too... If only there was an ASI somewhere nearby to answer this.
