Two million assuming the UN plan scales down

What evidence do we have that Twitter is even losing money, much less shutting down?

The UN provided a plan

Hasn't Elon been divorced a few times?

Fuck twitter

Man destroys something he once thought was beautiful isn't exactly a news story though. Have you seen how many divorced people there are out in the world?

Who's like to pay for access ? 1-2% of the userbase... maybe ?

cutting off people from free access also cuts off those that may potentially pay. I'd only pay if I see a value but locking everything behind a paywall doesn't push me to spend money.

And they can give feedback

AI is never impartial. It just has novel biases you don’t know.

I played with it today. It wrote two charming children’s stories, a very simple program in C, a blog post about the benefits of children learning ballet, a 500 word essay about cat claws, answered a “how do I” question about Excel, and composed a very typical corporate email.

Of the fact based items, they were correct.

I may use it in future if I need an especially ass-kissy email.

Lawyers will be among the last to be replaced. They have baked into the laws provisions about you being licensed practitioner, and they will argue that only applies to humans.

It makes the internet shittier

But what about AI made by AI made by AI. Would the human influence still be there?

It’s sounds like your saying computers and computer software will never evolve past what we have now. We don’t even understand gravity yet, maybe future computers/software will be unimaginable.

“three arrests for a Black person could indicate the same level of risk as, say, two arrests for a white person.” - and this is a solution provided in the article. The whole argument is the same as in weapons of math destruction. Can’t use data like zip code to determine the best policing Strat for the zip code. Beyond dumb and falls apart talking to anyone outside feel good about yourself land for white liberals.

But I thought AI was computers. And I thought computers could communicate at the speed of light. Wouldn’t that mean the AI could have input from billions of devices? Scientific instruments nowadays can connect to the web. Is it far fetched to imagine future where all collectible data from all devices could be perceived simultaneously by the AI?

Also AI is trained on existing things by humans. It's not going to do better than what it is trained on.

And it will catch false positives and people will be punished for having done nothing.

Regulation isn't going to do shit.

You can already catch ChatGPT responses on Reddit, ArtStation recently had been flooded with AI art... They now have a filter but it doesn't catch people being fraudulent about authenticity. Both of these things make me less inclined to engage or care. I suppose if you are completely unaware of it you might not notice, but people who are aware do. Is the idea that we'll all just tell AI to respond to everything for us, so we're just proxies for artificial conversation?

Artists can also respond much more accurately to feedback

Make an AI that regulates all the other AI’s. Call it skynet or something cool.

It won't replace artists either. Like chat, it gets shit wrong, it doesn't understand what it's making, you still need artists who understand art to curate and fix things at the very least, every time I explain this it feels like I'm talking to a wall which is not surprising. Probably the same for writing, or music, or whatever.
