cory doctrow has an interesting perspective on this, saying that all the displacement from global warming and increased healthcare needs will keep humans busy for a very long time.

I doubt a computer could do my job ;)
I work in safety/security

Can this do a dynamic risk assessment on the spot when someone's life is at risk? ;)

If there is work for humans it has to be something A.I. can't do. We are all teaching it to do everything, even (especially) right here.

I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.

I'm looking forward to the futher development of AI, especially General AI. I just think it would be so cool to have an amazon alexa sytle AI that you could take round with you and chat to and have a proper engaging conversation with because sometimes I really can't stand to talk to anymore humans aha

AI is well past any notion or idea we can fathom. AI dosent follow ANY rule we stand by.
We as humans will never quite grasp the entire picture, while AI has already found the end of the road. there are things in basic sciences kept from most people, like gravity drives, the TIME axis (think twister/tornado), scalar waves, over unity devices, etc... AI wont follow the bounds because its supressed by money or greed...
we as humans can TRY to think what will happen, but in all reality, were already in the losing seat without any hope for a "comeback kid story"
Stop thinking in a 3rd dimension mindset, and learn quantum physics a little. (want to be totaly mindblown?? look up QUANTUM radar- and how its actualy In use RIGHT NOW!)
--note-- the united states has 3 confirmed quantum computers in use! (i accidently came across one when i traveled for work, but most people wouldnt know to look at the cryogentics involved)
Machine-in-a box- experiment has already proven even the smartest among us, would lose.
me,myself ,personaly, am clueless what outcomes will unfold, but without any doubt , humans are not top priority when AI is really awake. current neuro-nets are mind boggling and google themselves admits they cant explain how its AI created child AI even works. (yes, AI created its own second AI) want to me mind blown again,years ago it was used, look up the AI that was tested in new yorks hospital system. the smartest doctors from the world STILL dont understand what that AI did , and how it was so correct/right 97%.)
i wont lie and say its all terminator 2JD, but that is one possible outcome. we as fellow fleshy companions should enjoy life now and every moment. we wont have many opertunities when AI is out of the box.
Note: its not IF , but WHEN, and WHEN happens?? ---will humans stand a chance or will an outaide force be required? (aliens, god, let your mind wander)

in my opinion, there are some "things" machines/AI will never be able to do. inspiration for instance.

fear of AI dominance, as i think, comes mainly from our knowledge-without-understanding of the fact that we are not doing some things that we are supposed to do.

The inspiration process is largely about open mindedness, computers are inherently better at this. If you look at some of the early entrees into the arts like painting and even screen writing they are off to a helluva start.

Music isn't so hard

Isn't inspiration a fairly consistent pattern? New inputted data connects to stored data in a way that re-organizes it.

AI are and will be good for work and a suitable replacement for humans, but even when that happens AI will always need us in case something goes wrong. I mean humans created AI, so in the end we’re always gonna have the more important jobs. AI is just there to do jobs in a more efficient way.

AI will come about one day with baby steps at first to "aid humanity" then all of a sudden the rich wont need people to make the food, cars and entertainment.
we will have an outbreak or a massive global reaching catastrophe while they are all hiding in the bunkers lowering the population to around 10% of what it is now and for a while whats left of humanity and the AI that serves them will live in a new golden ages of peace and prosperity ..........




i might of grew up reading a lof of scifi and fantasy


might just be high

im not so sure, anything a human does to recover the system seems doable with a very separate AI

Yes but conflict between AI's might be the most dangerous thing we are looking at here. We are incidental casualties from that perspective. By we I mean humans :)

Yes all the Scifi is about humans vs AI but AI on AI is such a real possibility especially when you consider the fact that governments are mega funding military robots to fight each other.

A.I. will be the boss and the lowliest worker, humans fit inbetween.

I totally disagree. AI is the continuation of the same pyramid model of which history has proven that it's bound to fail. The resources needed are of a scale that requires heavy (and never ending) financial investments. The food eaten by AI is data. The provider: humanity.

The larger the scale of data one can feed, the better the AI (and it's owners) can fingerprint, the more refined it's targeting.

Let's take an example of "AI" that we all know:

Software Antivirus:

Supposed to be the guardian that protects an operating system against 'threats' and 'threat actors using a variety of techniques to identify them. Pattern based detection, behavioural analysis and heuristics (an expensive word for: 'guesstimating' or an 'educated' guess). Your antivirus is part of a swarm that provides the antivirus vendor with data on new threats and their geographic impact.

However:

The data you provide is 'free', there is no reward or any form of renumeration for the infrastructure that you provided. A computer is not free, internet is not free, the power needed is also not free and although there are free AV solutions, most demand a subscription fee.

In return you get a product and service which does not provide any guarantees that it will adequately protect you against 'threats'.

In reality AV is becoming a relic.

Human intelligence has outsmarted AV and found ways to circumvent it using the 'Trojan horse' approach or by simple social engineering.

As there was no incentive to find or report security vulnerabilities, the data needed to feed pattern/behavioural dried up.

Heuristics is gambling with historical data, if that data is worthless so are heuristics.

And so is any form of AI hence all media and marketing efforts to portray it as the next best evolution. The driver: more profit less people.

The touted theories about a minimal wage without having to work for it are a continuation of AI Utopia. It would make people dependent on their nations through a socialist measure.

That spells national socialism and fascism.

Think twice before you give out data for free in exchange for a freemium service.

data,the new oil. put it in an old ford and it leak evertwhere.

Changed my life

Is it no depending on the vendors you've used? I usually use jj & have also used radar breeder. I've never had an issue with any order. I will prob be sticking with jj, but would use RB again. Every order I've got usually in 1 - 2 days, 3 days on bank holiday, using jj free NDD, or RB NDD for a few £s. If uv used different vendors, I'd try jj 1st, or RB. I've had 4 orders over the last month np

I've had 4 orders over the last month. Np s with any, usually use jj, with free NDD, the postage is no ending up being inc in the price of the smoke either, cos prices are pretty much the same as 1s who charge for NDD. I also used Radar breeder & got NDD for about £3-4. Could hav paid less for normal 1st class post. I'm sticking with my usual sellers, & hav been getting decent smoke frm them as well

The rating system is ok but I wish there were rankings. The voting system or algo that appoints these loud mouthed twats you always see as the voice of the community is what needs an overhaul.

there are more vendors and better prices than a few months ago do you realise this?

More vendors yes, as good vendors no, charging $7 to ship $55 8ths lolol, yeah fantastic mate, more vendors means better weed to you?! Clever guy and I get downvoted by you, a fool is easily parted with his money, you’re one of those 10/10 to everything you buy I presume... go to Dam smoke hundreds of strains over 20 years and then give an opinion mate cos that’s what I’ve done.

Do you not see that prices are steadily decreasing? I've downvoted you not for your opinion but that you are using one datapoint to generalise.

Of course more options makes things more competitive that's a foundation of economics.

Nope I don’t see that at all... where? Where are these price drops? Cali maybe but they were being priced too high originally anyways so they had to drop. Prices are the same generally but now they are charging for shipping, that means it’s more expensive now doesn’t it... New vendor with zero history charging $18 a gram lol, firstly who wants a gram of weed? It’d be gone before the postman’s left the street. Then another new vendor charging $7 to ship 2g of herb. Some of the weeds a bit cheaper cos it’s shit weed, people getting mouldy organic crap that smokes like air.

And yeah I totally agree with you on the last comment, but I’m not personally seeing this come into any fruition on here at all especially from the new vendors, they’re coming in with ridiculously high prices with zero groundwork or proof they even know what they’re doing or the quality of their product.

Sooo motherfucking true.

Never a truer word said bro

There is a lot you can do, that's the point of this community. Why not take this to escrow and make a dispute?

If you weren't full of shit you would just contact escrow and get your money back instead of making fud.

You’re the only person singing that song here, what’s happened? Did you ask vendors what’s going on
