Another one is the movie ‘The Fountain’ which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.

I’ve been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments

Some casual video games I’ll turn off the game audio and just listen to music instead

Don’t Let The Bells End by the Darkness?

I have my Christmas tree lights in a zigbee smart plug and some more lights on the front of the house as well. They turn on around sunset if I’m home or when I come home after sunset.

Damn 26 is toasty. I get hot if it’s 21 in my home. I warm rooms individually but mostly it’s 19 or 20 degrees. I don’t like to go outside and have too much of a difference.

Ah then that’s why John is an uncle to both of them. I must have misremembered.

Yeah after Pefgy Sue he never wanted to be in any Coppola movies

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan’s nephew and they share an uncle in John Nolan.

He changed his name because he never wanted nepotism off this

Usually these tasks are repetitive, scriptable. I don’t know exactly what happens but I suppose AI will just cough up a lot of work and employees come in on Monday and just have to check it. In some cases that would be more work than just making it yourself but this is a first step at least.

I think you’re right. AGI and certainly ASI are behind one large hurdle: we need to figure out what consciousness is and how we can synthesize it.

As Qui-Gon Jinn said to Jar Jar Binks: the ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

I fully support AI taking over stupid, meaningless jobs if it also means the people that used to do those jobs have financial security and can go do a job they love.

Software developer Afas has decided to give certain employees one day a week off with pay, and let AI do their job for that day. If that is the future AI can bring, I’d be fine with that.

Caveat is that that money has to come from somewhere so their customers will probably foot the bill meaning that other employees elsewhere will get paid less.

But maybe AI can be used to optimise business models, make better predictions. Less waste means less money spent on processes which can mean more money for people. I then also hope AI can give companies better distribution of money.

This of course is all what stakeholders and decision makers do not want for obvious reasons.

I used to be an optimist for the implementation of A(G/S)Iafter reading Wait But Why’s explanation of it.

I think AI can have huge positive effects on AI. But the way marketing has ran with it… Everything suddenly needs to have the label even if it doesn’t really qualify. The environmental impact of people doing stupid, unnecessary things with AI is huge. Not to mention societal impact of AI companions.

If AI was designed by any other species than humans, it might’ve been interesting.

Which country are you in

Pay the debts of myself and all my close friends.

House with a yard is already a check for me but I have a neighbour on both sides. I want a standing house.

Then I’d invest a lot in art, my own and others. Work less, play more. See the sights. Meet people.

It’s been a while since an actual shower thought was posted

Quantum computing. It would have already been but it still has a very nerdy, no real-world application vibe.

It was pretty much Obi-Wan until I saw Rogue One, Cassian Andor is just a great character, maybe because of the way Diego Luna portrays him. The way he analyses his environment and the way convoluted schemes around him play out is some of the best the franchise has to offer.
