Damn, even with inflation? You must be super on guard. That being said. I will turn on my A game to shave $0.50 off of a set of coasters from a tourist shop while on vacation.

Migrants and vulnerable populations already take dangerous jobs, like roofing, and many will refuse to take really dangerous jobs if they don’t feel comfortable.

Classifying sex work as some higher tier of danger is a bit silly imo. also it will happen whether or not it’s regulated so by not having some kind of legal protection around it, people with no other option will end up doing sex work anyway, but with fewer protection from abusive pimps.

Considering his grandma followed it up with

“And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

He clearly didn’t get homophobia from her.

In terms of practical commercial uses, these highly human in the loop systems are about where it is and there are practical applications and products build off of it. I think what was sold though is a much more of either a replacement of people or a significant jump in functionality.

For example, there are products that will give you an AI summary of a structured or fairly uniform document like a generic press release, but there’s not really a good replacement for something to read backgrounds on 50 different companies and figure out which one you should invest in without a human basically doing all of that work themselves anyway just to check the work of the AI. The latter is what is being sold to make the enormous cost of hosting and training AI worth it.

How can you enforce any clothing is worn voluntarily? A partner could coerce someone to dress as modestly / revealingly as they want and you would need to rely on them to say they are being coerced.

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We’d empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

So, it seems like the secret was the opposition parties actually campaigning on doing things the voters liked and addressing their concerns instead of belittling them. I agree, I think US politicians should also try actually appealing to disaffected voters to get them to vote against tyranny instead of lecturing them.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

“Whelp, I tried but we can’t get the votes to confirm them”

The issue is AI is just too broad of a term. It’s also not a magic bullet and comes with its own problems so it’s not even the best tool for the job many times.

It’s easier said than done. A few key pieces took decades to figure out and even now many can only be produced by one or two companies, like ASML.
