Reply to In a post-scarcity utopia, is there a real necessity of human labor of any kind? by kvothekevin
Yes
People inherently love to do stuff and will continue to do stuff as a hobby even if there is no need to work. Stuff made as a hobby can be traded or sold. Money will not go away

Reply to Is capitalism REALLY going to disappear? by Phoenix5869
"Capitalism" is a complex mix of a lot of economic, social and political ideas
Economic systems will change and adapt to the new technologies. I'm hopeful that the new AI tools will allow us to improve economic systems to make them work better for all. Some may use the old names to describe the new ideas, or maybe a new name will be invented

As usual, good research, misleading headline
A better headline would be .. Scientists learn a bit more about how cancer cells evade immune system
The headline implies the problem is solved

Low skilled workers often do poor and minimal effort work. It's not surprising that managers want to watch them

Reply to Linguistic analysis of 177,296 Reddit comments sheds light on negative attitudes toward science by HeinieKaboobler
Reddit comments tend to be negative and pessimistic about everything. This may often be the case because they are responding to an article, based on an overly optimistic press release. Science and tech press releases tend to use the word "breakthrough" when the work being reported on is actually a small, incremental advance at best. The press releases are intended to raise funds or increase buzz. They get published, almost verbatim, buy the tech press. Skeptical redditors, like me, respond

Terrible headline
The real answer is, Duh, it's just common sense
We need less artificial restriction of creativity, not more. Copyright law has expanded far beyond anything reasonable

There are two factors at play here
First, even when engineers try to make honest estimates, unexpected difficulties arise that raise costs
Second, managers often knowingly make dishonest estimates to win contracts

Stop reading reddit and this sub in particular. It's overwhelmingly full of pessimists
This is the best time in history. No, it's not perfect, but the past was a LOT worse. Read some optimistic stuff
I remember old-school scifi. It was all optimistic. Then the trend shifted to post-apocalyptic doom stories. We have been fed this crap for years

ChatGPT is a very early toy that people take far too seriously. It was jammed into search engines by clueless managers who wanted to catch the wave of hype. As AI matures, quality control and ensuring accuracy will become priorities
