“plants feel pain, that’s why I chose a diet that introduces extra steps on the food chain so that the animals I eat end up eating 10x as many plants as I would”

I don’t know, maybe this is an American thing, but I can tell you that in my country (Spain) it’s generally more expensive to have a luxury flat in the centre of a rich neighborhood of a big city, than it is to have a big detached house in the outskirts. Why would rich people want to live in bumfuck when they can live surrounded by luxury restaurants and services? Rich people live for the most part in big-ass flats in the centre, and then they go to the countryside on weekends to an even bigger-ass villa or something.

What part is an oxymoron?

I’m not saying we should exclude any tools, I’m just skeptical about the trend of calling everything AI, attributing all computational advances to AI, and jumping into the bandwagon of businesses trying to oversell any and all computating as AI.

The very first link shows that this is incremental benefit that’s been taking place since 2010. Computational tools are useful, but you’re providing mostly links of algorithms/learning models to sort pictures for medical purposes and diagnosis (useful and cool), and saying that somehow that means fusion will be solved by AI

Please give me the examples

So, are there any results of technological achievements from any AI models that show a trend towards increasing solving of scientific and technical problems?

By fusion, what do you mean?

Germany is already taking the wrong side of history.

Always has been

What other type of current AI claims problem-solving capabilities?

No, I haven’t seen any major technological breakthroughs coming from language models, other than language models themselves. Have you?

Wait, you think fusion will be developed thanks to AI?

I’m more of a charmander guy

Insane that we allow for the privatisation of wavelengths.

"NO!! ONLY I CAN MOVE ELECTRONS AT THIS FREQUENCY, I PAID FOR IT, RWAAAAHHH!!

Not very hopeful but it’s something

Probably depends on the country, I’m pretty sure here in Spain you can donate books to libraries, and I highly doubt they go to the publisher and call them to ask “hey, want any good ol’ buckaroos?”

Russia’s Putin as opposed to…? Just funny phrasing

First of all, chill. We’re all here to learn.

Second of all, you haven’t addressed my post at all, you’ve just dismissed it completely and talked about some example of cars which goes exactly in the direction of what I point towards. If the USSR had made more cars, there would have been less labour and resources destined to other goods. Cars simply weren’t a priority because they’re expensive and inefficient, if anything the USSR made too many instead of focusing on better urban planning and public transit.

There was shortage of housing

People had to wait to buy a car

Those are consequences of allocating goods based on needs rather than based on purchase power. Homelessness in the USSR was nonexistent, millions of new homes were built every year. The fact that you complain about access to housing in the USSR shows how detached you must be from the realities of access to housing in the western world even in 2024, with 50 years extra of technological development.

Your point about bribery or contacts as a form of access to goods is true, but corruption is a natural part of all systems. It’s just that it’s not defined as such in the private sector so suddenly we don’t care about it when it’s outside the public sphere. If I own a car factory and decide that the first 1000 cars will go to my friends, that’s my right to do so, it’s only illegal and immoral in the public sphere.
