> have a hard time reacting to fully formed ideas thrown at me thrown at me over a table. The other side coming with fully prepared for the discussion, while on the receiving end you need to do your homework realtime also doesn't help.
That's the feature, not a bug. It gives the meeting initiator a better chance of steamrolling their way to approval.
Notice the difference between meetings where people share agendas and docs ahead of time vs those where you show up and they walk you through the doc.
If my laptop screen were legible in direct sun, I'd be out there. Wifi and headphones.
Sadly the laptop's too small and Chrome's too power-hungry for solar power to be an option: ⅓m width * ¼m length * 158W/m2 solar = 13W out of 67W to run it, or 19%.
It's because the US only has two parties, and both parties have priorities that override privacy concerns: pro-police and anti-regulation on the one hand; pro-tech and pro-federal govt on the other.
Ironically communism would've had a better chance of success if it had AI for the centrally planned economy and social controls. Hardcore materialism will play into automation's hands though.
We're more likely to see a theocratic movement centered on the struggle of human souls vs the soulless simulacra of AI.
The Rig (2023) is a mysterious miniseries set entirely on an oil rig off Scotland. It feels like they're on a spaceship, isolated from terra firma and the rest of humanity. Starring Ser Jorah Mormont from GoT and Stevie Budd from Schitt's Creek.
Using plagiarism rules seems both fair and appropriate (given the source of the AI's content).
A human reviewing an author's writing and then passing it off as their own isn't okay. If they make substantive edits such that it's essentially new work, then it's okay. Discussing with the author then writing their own versions is okay.
Really though what I'm after is a mass protection so consumers can understand that images they're seeing or language they're reading or hearing isn't from a primary (ie human) source. Sort of like the "actor portrayal" or "this image has been photoshopped" requirements some countries have.
Each paragraph of AI-generated content should have to be prefaced with the phrase "computer-generated:" with the same visibility as the rest of the text. Same goes for images but with a watermark instead. No site-wide opt-outs.
My employer sure does. Unless you're telling me that devs in major US cities are actually 2x better than rural US coders, who in turn are multiple times better than devs in poorer countries.
1) It's the only static non-rocket launch system. As such it doesn't require people to buy into the "active support structure" concept which is a prerequisite for orbital rings (<3), launch loops, or space fountains. (Rotovators, though arguably static, require exotic setups for terrestrial use.)
2) It's been around long enough to have made it into mainstream culture, especially via big-budget Hollywood movies.
3) The name is straightforward and approachable to laypeople. An elevator to space nicely obscures issues like its mind-boggling size, duration of transit, and even "reach space" vs "achieve orbit."
4) Picturing the structure fixed over a point on Earth seemingly sidesteps sovereign territory issues and international cooperation, further simplifying the conversation.
The Space Elevator is a gateway to megastructures more than a gateway to space.
Let's say you call or text me, requesting gift cards or my password or something else weird.
I tell you I'll email you immediately to verify. I email you to confirm you want N $X gift cards. You do so.
Or if the inbound contact is by email, you verify by text or phone call. Or Signal/Discord/FB chat apps, etc. Heck even LinkedIn Inmail could be your verification channel.
You could still be compromised, but that'd require attackers to have significantly more access and readiness. And if you reach the other person and they're unaware, now you both have some support as you figure it out.
Telling kids not to play with loaded guns is like telling adults and companies not to trust ChatGPT's answers.
Yes, it's better than doing absolutely nothing. And yes, in the strictest sense it's their fault if they ignore the warning and accidentally use it to cause harm.
But the blame really belongs with the adults in the room for allowing such an irresponsible situation in the first place.
