I personally dont worry about because pcs usually get replaced after ~10 years anyway due to massive performance and efficiency increases.
Laptops would be the only exception if you rely alot on the battery.

I like using gpt to generate powershell scripts, surprisingly its pretty good at that. It is a small task so unlikely to go off in the deepend.

Do you think people go “oh darn… a stray managed to get by my defenses, i guess they live with me now”?..

My point?
What benefit could i have from “caring for another being”? Me, personally? The other being, yes, maybe. But me? I could never care ADEQUATELY for any animal.
Hypothetically, if someone that was very close to you was in a terrible accident at has become paralyzed and no longer capable of taking care of themselves. What benefit do you have in taking care of them. Will you just abandon them? I would hope you are not cold hearted as such. Obviously there is such benefit as companionship with another living creature. Im not judging you for not wanting a pet, i dont have one myself. But you are coming off very cold.

The prompt is the human interaction instructing the machine to produce art in the vision of the prompter.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 6 days ago:
And whos to say generative art doesnt receive a lot of thought and intent in producing something worthwhile?
Sure, you could let the machine spit out whatever garbage purely from random inputs, and that is not art as there is zero guidance or intent. But anyone that used generative ai knows you have to guide it to get anything worthwhile out of it. And even then, very likely require manual touchups to correct mistakes.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 6 days ago:
So, if a machine makes the ‘art’, its not art? So photographs are not art. The hubble telescope,or any space probe for that matter, doesnt produce art.
Art is something that provoke emotions and expression in its observers and not produced naturally. Machines are built by people and require non-random inputs to produce something thefore anything those machines produce is art.

Humans are confident statistical black boxes. Art doesnt have to be made by a human to be aspiring.

The biggest threat of co2 emmisions is ocean acidifcation. A collapse of the ocean ecosystem would be devastating to the rest of the planet. A warmer planet sucks, but dead phytoplankton would result in a global plumment in O2 production.

Nah, being rich is having enough to not worry, but still greedy and seek more and not using it to benefit others.

You cant gain data, but you can make mathematical predictions from that data, which what ‘interpolation’ means. And the AI part is using a learning model to add in more prediction data based on similar imagery.

That falls into the category of not worry about things.

Most were farmers because humans needed food, and food productivity was low before the age of industrialization. Not really sure what you are trying to argue other than it took a long time for enough progress was made to free humans to presue other things other than farming their land.

Never claimed i can do better… in fact I’d make for a shitty businessman, since i would ensure all my employees were being paid fairly and never less than a few percentage of my own salary.

Besides most of his “wealth” is all tied up in stocks. Him holding onto the shares is largely the only reason they maintain any value. Everytime he sells or uses them as collateral, the prices shift wildly downward.
