Ms Adequate posted:But zombie media almost always has a conflict with other, non-zombie people as a major plot. Of course, but that's after we quickly and blamelessly zombified 99% of the population that we would otherwise have been competing for resources with. That means we can have conflict with other survivors on the basis of values or racism or whatever other nonsense the film maker wanted to talk about but which makes no sense in the context of collapse where anyone who survived to be part of the last 1% swam through blood to get there and the audience would be rightly disgusted with them all

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:This is why I'm giving the SAS thing with Hancock a try. An environment where his bullshit politician answers won't fly and where other people have clear authority over him. When he's on TV continuously following people around being a oval office all day, i can see all but his most avid supporters will eventually start to hate him.

We can and should be using science to end malnutrition, but I'm not sure why you need ChatGPT to tell you that making sure that children get enough niacin stops them from getting pellagra.

I should give it another whirl. I got to what seemed like a bit of a slow bit in the middle and never worked through it. Also got a bit annoyed at constantly trudging back and forth, but I think I heard they fixed that.

Bobby Deluxe posted:in summary, the difference you loving idiot is that we compensate artists for the time and labour undertaken because they are a human being with human needs. like maybe we could just provide people with whatever their human needs are anyway, regardless of if they did any art that day? then other artists could use ai tools to produce more art without anyone going hungry or whatever. I mean Rishi is right, AI can end malnutrition by doing all the jobs so we can separate work from survival with a UBI.

The problem with talking about "AI" is it currently is used to basically mean anything involving a computer, from "fitting a statistical model which is then used for further analysis" to "chat gpt tries to write a novel". Saying AI will help us solve malnutrition is at this point just saying "we will do it with computers". Okay but how exactly. You can't just type "solve malnutrition" into chat gpt and then there won't be poor people anymore

NotJustANumber99 posted:you seem awfully obsessed with the need to put a monetary value on the art. A) I don't want to put a monetary value on art. But time spent producing art is offset against time spent doing work that pays, in an environment where it costs money to be alive; so human artists need to be compensated. B) Even if we squared the circle of AI and economies, I would prefer art and entertainment to be something I get a chance to make, instead of having had a random number generator come up with it first.

Copy them into your nano doc. I wrote an 800+ word email yesterday so managed to shoehorn that in. 800 words not to be wasted especially when I didn't start til last Wednesday and 30k words to go! Just make a character say them all and put quotation marks round them.

Regardless, we do have competition, we do have economic considerations, and AI is loving people out of work. Any arguments about AI necessarily need to consider that context.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Ai can drive the Tesla delivery trucks all day and night with no downtime improving supply lines and reducing waste. Greater availability of delivery resources is more likely to result in an increase in waste as everything becomes "on demand" and people are encouraged to consume more to utilize the increased distribution capacity. As ever, it is not a problem of raw capability, it is a problem of intent. Increases in capability do not translate to increases in overall efficiency because the goal of capitalism is to maximise extraction and consumption of resources, because each step of that is where surplus value can be extracted.
