  I know the basics of chess but like it was not till I met a guy in college that I became aware of enpassant (or however its spelled). Anyone who gets like ternament level has to start memorizing openings and gambits. granted much of learning that is learning why the positioning is good which helps in making moves outside of one. But like if you just play by knowing the moves most people who know tournament openings and gambits and such will wipe the floor with you. Like when I played with that one friend Im pretty sure he treated it as a time to experiment and see what happens when he does not make optimal moves.

  are you kidding. its not that people don’t see its that they don’t know what to do. you see people praising ai and damming it. I have been looking for work for over two years now. its a cluster but the average person can’t do a whole lot about it.

  My wife keeps an amazon subscription. I keep on saying anything arriving after 2 days she should be complaining to them about. Isn’t that why you are paying for the thing???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do think what you are saying is what is the number one reason the economy is so terrible and its not because of your content its because of the attitude. The idea that everyone should be as competent at I at X is the main reason america has been leading in making economies world wide worse. pull up by the bootstraps. be your own mechanic, plumber, lawyer, doctor, accountant. the fact is most people are not competent at most things. its simply not how society past agrarian can work. the guy who smokes and drinks and spend anything else he gets on lottery tickets is a great plumber. the gal who spends her paycheck on fandom and cons has a green thumb and is an incredible landscaper. A proper society has the average jane/joe spending their paycheck every week and that is fine and they should be living a fine life. Because that is going to happen regardless of what those who know better know. My devil it drives me nuts. The lates thing you see thrown around is. There are no jobs and can’t find one. No problem just make your own business. Everyone can’t make their own business. Its just bs from the wealthy. I mean heck making and running a business is not one competency but several and if you don’t have them all you can certainly start one but it will likely fail. This is exactly the attitude that leads to unstable societies that suffer crashes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what can I do about the feeling of uncertainty?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I view this as a good thing. My bacheloreate was in science and I can tell another science type person like me by the way they hate saying something is not possible or definate. They shy from zero and 100%. If I say something is 99% then im sure if I say less than 1% and im sure its not gonna work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I would also like to see trying out some other things on the moon. like a space elevator can be done without even the modern materials we have today and would let us vett that stuff. I do think we should send some stuff farther afield like probes or attempting asteroid drilling or capture but only if it can be done relatively cheaply. major stuff I agree would be best to perfect close by and then add it to the repetoire to send farther out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  in this case agency is just a decision to do something. The ai described after I asked would not do anything unless directed to. You see this in star trek. the computer can be asked to hypothesized or analyze in pretty much any way a human could but won’t unless asked to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the idea is it is complex but without agency. I think anyway. that is my take away from the clarification. so like human slaves have agency but are forced to not do what they want to. similar with animals but sometimes its more like they are tricked into doing stuff by providing things they want. which is a bit like wage slavery really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe I messed it up but whatever the getting rid of leg hair thing is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  well I worked at a job where a trans person was asking if electrolysis would be covered and I can only assume a woman wanting to be more womanly would want that to. Heck breast augmentation is kinda popular. I do feel stuff like that should not be limited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah or like a rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  see thats the point. because it has no needs it has no reason to act which is a lack of agency. the animals are certainly more easily said to be slaves that the theoretical ai that does will not do anything unless directed to. that is in essence your computer but just with more limited processing capability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you can ask for scrambled egg and mcdonalds and they will give it to you instead of the folded one. Its actually one of the best things to do with your breakfast sandwich order. Back before fast food became laughably expensive I used to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  with no innate wants though its no different than your current laptop. If it had volition independent of us it would be something else but that way I real the OP’s statement it would not do anything if not instructed to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  thats kinda the point of automation. if that is our main focus then we improve the technology which is what we got out of the original space race. all the technology that made the endeavour eventually succeed. sending humans just sucks up expense and resources and slows down reall tangible and useful progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah so I assume left to itself with no instruction it would just go into a low power mode or completely shut off. if thats the case I would not see utilizing it as slavery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you integrate AGI into society?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  @hexorg@beehaw.org you mention basic wants not being a thing but does that mean no real wants or desires? because that would nullify the slavery idea if it just did what it was directed to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ah I see what you are saying. as much as I do want to push automation a specific thing liek that which is beyone our current level of automation. yeah I could see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really doubt once we have a reason to send people up again that lack of experience with technologies we could not fanthom now will be a massive block at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see why. to me its just going to be an easy way out. look at how they kept the rovers going or the extra solar probes. Problems are just more incentive to improve technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  there no reason for that to be manned any more than space telescopes are. You just need data relays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally think manned missions after the first landing is kindq dumb. We should be working on automating in space and if we get that to the point where we can completely kit out a base for humans to use then maybe send people to it. Ultimately to me if space has any future we need to get to where we have a mining and manufacturing loop that can all take place in space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  some people with farms near a road will have an unmanned produce stand with an honor box and they have been around for awhile. I think the higher the density the populace the more likely loss by theft gets to high. Likely there is some no matter where but it can be so low as to be virutally non existent. Even manned stores have loss from theft so it makes sense to do as long as the loss is below a point making it worth while. I actually wanted to get a multiflat in the city when I was younger that had a first floor storefront and do something like this.
