Then as it falls I jump up and slice it in two with my cyber nano plasma katana, landing in a hero Goku pose. (Rolls D20) I got uh... 14 in total. Did it work?

eSports Chaebol posted:I heard from an iRobot guy that they originally made a custom controller for their EOD bots that met all sorts of ridiculous requirements like EMP resistance but it wasn’t 100% dustproof and unbreakable and cost five figures per unit so eventually they gave up and just started buying crates of DualShocks and modding them because it was cheaper that way even if you treated them as literal one-use items This tracks with literally everything I hear about engineers and military procurement. The parasites outweigh the mass of the host.

I suspect that the US military is no longer the strongest conventional military in the world. The Grift has been so big for so long it's completely hollowed out.

ekuNNN posted:this seems like a dumb thing to think because you spend ten times as much as the next military, so even if more than half of that is just pure waste you come out ahead. Also it supposes other militaries arent enormous grifts too, which seems dubious. I think half is a wildly, hilariously optimistic estimate. And no, it doesn't assume other militaries aren't enormous grifts, too. It just assumes that the grift-by-weight in the US is much higher.

Also it supposes other militaries arent enormous grifts too, which seems dubious. Ten times as much, you say? Sounds like we can have a military that's 90% grift and with our NATO allies outmatch everyone else in the world. Really, having less than 90% grift would be a waste of potential profit. However, Americans are uniquely incredible innovative champions of humanity, so really we could make it 91% and still be fine. And the military are the best of the best, so we could make it 92%. Thanks to our incomparable technology base, we could crush any mere peer, so 93% would still be safe. Our allies are the most technologically sophisticated too, so 94% is fine, and heck they ruled the world for good reason so their inherent superiority makes 95% feasible. Plus we're the good guys, God being with us means 96% is an easy choice, and the morale effect on our enemies from fighting God is easily worth 97%. Capitalism is the best economy which means we make more for everything spent so 98% is logical, and our superior economy means we can destroy our enemies with finances so 99% is rational. Finally, since our military is the best in the world obviously we can skim a bit off the top and nobody will notice or care. 100% pure profit, just as the founding fathers intended.

There was an MSN article I saw earlier today that was like "If you have one of these jobs, AI could replace you" and then you open the article and it's one of those loving slideshows, but anyway each slide is a different job and the list says which skills AI has down and which ones it's still struggling with and the list is poo poo like 1. Delivery Driver AI is good at about half the skills, like business operation, communication, and math. AI struggles with about 40% of the other skills such as: vehicle operation. There was another one too that was like "Medical Assistant. AI excels at communication, struggles with the healthcare aspect of the job" lmao ok great work little buddy you've got everything down except the core aspect

Seems kind of worthless to point out that automation/AI are going to replace a particular job without a clear path/timeline for getting there.

Subjunctive posted:it’s a lot easier to make predictions if you don’t have to anchor them on a “when” Also if your vague on exactly what your predicting at well. Like, 'At some point in time in the future AI will make things get get bad!'. I mean, yeah no poo poo, but what are you even predicting at that point. Economists and fortune tellers make careers out of this.
