Certainly reads like it!

This is going nowhere, nevermind.

Who said math is more relevant than language for child development?

Bill doesn't say that math is more important than language in child development. He says basic math skills are correlated with student success. I'm sure that's true for language skills as well, but there may be more variation in math skills across student populations in the US.

Homelessness is a tech as well as a political problem because it can be addressed with advanced robotics. The cost of housing will decrease when much of construction is automated.

That's two years bro.

I'm with the AI. Dogs shouldn't be allowed to drive buses.

If Ray Kurzweil was right, it would be Hans Morovec who was right?

Perhaps you could explain...

Very well written and thought provoking! Thanks for sharing.

I'd like to see what those three Notes in the graph are referencing. Perhaps Alex Net and some of the OpenAI events?

Just to confirm: you used Bing chat and not ChatGPT, correct?

This is a simple but ingenious test! Kudos!

In the interest of determining how awe inspired I should be by Bing's response, was your test a variation of something you found online?

Thanks, was the robot you saw working on the job? Or was it a demo?

I saw a vid of a robot unloading boxes at Amazon, but the boxes were neatly stacked in the truck and all the same size. Do you have a link to robots unloading in a more realistic scenario?

It took less than 20 years to reach that milestone! I wonder what reaction those experts had to Alphago's success.

It is if you're into dino-porn...

Or spell out A-P-T, like Eminem would do

Good point, thanks!

Sinclair video

If you'd like to see a video on this topic, consult my recent post of a David Sinclair vid. He's the senior author of this study. My post has a lot of views but no comments yet. 😂

You wrote two exactly contradictory things, one right after the other. You don't see how luxurious living on UBI would be possible. Yet people on UBI could have a high standard of living, thanks to AI and robotics.

This second point is what we need to keep in mind: advanced robotics will lower the costs of goods and services, making it feasible for everyone to enjoy a decent lifestyle.

Agreed. Just the fact that ChatGPT is so helpful with some school assignments means that most high school and college students would be eager to plunk down money for a monthly subscription.

Here's something that may or may not count.

Matt's presentation of an AI-created video game

I'm wondering how Sam repealed the capabilities of GPT4. I guess he has that power...

Nice!!! Have an upvote!

I sympathize with anyone who can't afford to provide proper nutrition for his or her children due to poverty or food deserts. However, is it generally true that "the only food they can afford are nutritionally null processed foods"? At my grocery store I buy fresh fruit that's already washed, peeled, cut, and ready to eat. The cost is $6 per pound, which is less than a Big Mac with fries.

If I walk into McDonald's and see an obese mom buying her obese son a combo meal, my first thought isn't "she can't afford to provide proper nutrition for him," but rather "perhaps she doesn't know better or perhaps her son refuses to eat nutritious food." If the mom were offered fresh fruit and vegetables instead of the burger, would she and her son accept the healthier choice?

In many (most?) cases in the US today, it's not as simple as "healthy food is too expensive for poor people." Perhaps once we can create food using a nanofactory, we can make spinach and broccoli that tastes like a cheeseburger and French fries. Till then we will have the problem of trying to convince people to eat what's good for them.
