I'm not saying AI can't be disruptive. I'm saying we aren't there. The steady progress you think you are seeing is bought with increased processing power, the science isn't advancing steadily, it advances in unpredictable jumps. Because the performance gained with processing power is reaching its peak, we'll need at least another one of those unpredictable jumps for it to get to a state that will do what the comment I was responding to was claiming. It could be another 50 years before that happens, or it could be tomorrow.
The current AI boom is all based on a single paper from about 7 years ago, and has been achieved by just throwing more and more computing power at it. There has been basically no meaningful architecture improvements in that time and we are already seeing substantial fall off from throwing more power at the problem. I don't think its a given at all that we are close to the kind of disruption you are predicting.
I went to one like 17 years ago or so when it had first opened in my area, and it was basically just a subpar restaurant where the waitresses were wearing maid costumes. None of the shit you might see in an anime.
Yes it is. In any rectangle, by definition the diagonal cross section will always be longer than the longest side. Therefore given that this is a relatively 2d shape in 3 dimensional space, it will be able to pass through the hole.
I used to subscribe inconsistently when there was something I wanted to watch. Then I started sharing with my family so I kept the subscription up at a higher price constantly because I didn't know when they were using it or not. I've since gone back to only subscribing at a lower price when I want to watch something. I honestly thought way more people would be in this situation.
This is basically how you get horseshoe theory, but if you come at an authoritarian leftist with horseshoe theory they'll mention the nonsense fishhook theory.
In terms of direct responses, Iran tends to behave extremely rationally in like game theory terms. Most countries do, though obviously some misjudgements of each others capabilities can happen. With that said, Iran does very transparently fund terrorists to do their dirty work for them (not that this is unique to Iran).
The video was analyzing the effects of the costs until 2050. Things like housing density increase slowly so might not be impacted substantially by 2050. Also most of the best solutions have a negative cost projected out to 2050, so no killing people isn't a better solution.
Do what's right and then figure out how to spin it. Though this really shouldn't need much spin, a relatively small % of the population are against things like aid, even if they support Israel.
Thats an old looking 56.
