The ultrarich care more about short term money, wealth they could never really meaningfully spend in a human lifetime, than they care about the planet. It's time to sue them as a collective, or failing that a good old peasants revolt.

I chuckle every time I see the words "reduce prices" in this thread, as though companies aren't gonna just pocket more profit and bonuses.

throw to first drat IT posted:So, public transportation? That's where this is moving I'm sure. Which is gonna be real nice when we can start getting rid of these massive parking lots everywhere. Columbus has a car share service I already like and when those vehicles are automated you are gonna be able to service the same number/area of people with fewer vehicles overall, looser range restrictions, and the ability to send them away park themselves . If they were in other nearby cities I probably wouldn't have bought a car at all.

Dead Reckoning posted:Nah, us class traitors who have proven our loyalty in exchange for continuing access to food and medicine will be machinegunning/flamethrowering the rest. Eventually one of the egg-heads will invent a machine that kills us while still keeping them safe, but our goal is to ensure our progeny's place in the surviving strata through marriage, education, or wealth accumulation before then. Elysium was real. They are gonna have robot guards and doctors on their moon base while the rest of us madmax it down here.

Kekekela posted:This thread attracts people that think automation for any task can only take the form of androids with human levels of intelligence and dexterity. Up to and including defense against the guillotine building hordes. On their moon base, where they legally rule as the investors who make breathing possible. We've already got a laser that can target female mosquitoes based on the frequency of their wingbeat to kill them.

Solkanar512 posted:Come on man, elevators and trains move in one dimension along a rail, cars move in two and aircraft moves in three. The former are going to be much, much easier to automate than the latter. Someone already did an effort post explaining why this is a bad analogy, but in short airplanes have a much larger margin of error to work with so some aspects are going to be easier. It's almost like they are different modes of transit with different issues affecting the automation.

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:We all go along with it. It's an absurd premise, but here we are. A trust fund kid who hasn't worked a single day in his life and contributes nothing to society gets to decide things. We all go along with it. If that trust fund kid is the owner of a fully automated factory, we all go along with it. The alternative would be fighting the automated police, army and mercenaries. Also, probably lots of minefields. And we don't even have tanks, MAPADS or demining equipment. Full Communism Before the Rich Develop Robot Guards!

Owlofcreamcheese posted:automation is a normal part of all human development and there has been dozens of times that dominant jobs became obsolete and instead of being replaced in some direct 1:1 way they simply opened society up to work on newer bigger and more abstract concerns. Unless those new and abstract concerns start shifting radically none of this matters for 95%+ of the people of the world because it's gonna be a ruinous wasteland.

Ted Chiang has an article that is kind of relevant here. https://www.buzzfeed.com/tedchiang/the-real-danger-to-civilization-isnt-ai-its-runaway?utm_term=.gfG9z2L4x#.ng9bo8mz4 The problem is the #1 rule of corporatism is increasing shareholder value, and the pool of who can afford to be a shareholder is so limited and selfselecting. It's a really common mixup for humans, we take the means by which we measure and make it the only goal. The teaching for the test problem. I know this is very fuzzy.

When Asimov thought up robots the first rule he gave them was "don't hurt people." When we began establishing automated processes the first rule we gave them was "make us as much money as possible."

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Asimov mostly wrote books about how making an absolute law saying "don't hurt people" hurts people over and over in all sorts of 5-35 page logic puzzle mysteries about how a robot could do a thing that seemingly broke the rules. So I'm not really sure he thought the rules were a super effective idea. I think it's probably better to start with a rule along those lines that isn't 100% perfect than to start with the rule "more money, gently caress everyone"

Owlofcreamcheese posted:That it was some short story that I can't remember the name of about a blind man being a world class super genius and science realizing that his brain had rewired to use his visual contrex for problem solving and science figures out a technique to do that repeatably so people end up having to remove their kid's eyes because no amount of study will ever make you as good as an eyeless genius. Until it spreads to nearly any skilled labor and only unskilled laborers have eyes. This is awesome and kind of reminds me of beggars in spain. The sleepless are immediately rejected by society as a whole and it deals more with persecution and whatever other weirdness, but they are smarter and happier than everyone else as a side affect of not having to sleep. I haven't read them in a while.

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:In the spirit of that good effort post about GANs, here is an older paper with a workflow demonstration of how future content creation could look like. The paper is old as gently caress(2016), so the quality of generated imagery is probably a lot higher now Decisions like "how big this pond should be" and "where this tree should be" are important artistic decisions. The AI just handles the tedious brushwork. Soon we will all be able to create majestic works together with AI partners.

Well then maybe it doesn't matter if AI is real great at mspaint? Because real brushwork is done with real brushes or whatever.

Dickeye will fight anyone but is scared of the robots, the one thing he knows his fists can't beat. Is there a study showing how much safer a driverless car would have to be before the average person trusts it rather than driving theirself?
