LLMs are not the aspects of AI that are going to have the biggest impact. It will be AI based tools for evaluating data in the aid of specific tasks that has the big effect

Yeah but it’s about as relevant to running a business as a manual to use a toaster

I think cultural anti-intelectualism to some extent comes from the belief that intelectuals don’t care about their interests or wellbeing. Not helped by the historic lack of accessibility of education

I think the latter is improving somewhat

meant to read it then never actually got around to it

it’s not even relevant if they did read it. It’s an instruction manual for running an ancient chinese army

not solely by the exploitation of laborers but also through the ceaseless march of technological advancement

interesting where does this technical advancement come from?

Capital, clearly. Not a single anti communist has ever read it because they never once refute a single talking point from the actual book

Almost no one has actually read capital it’s like the Bible hugely influential but almost no one is willing to actually read the thing

Really I found them dull 1984 especially

Only one of them really struggled with the difference, and she wasn’t against learning, she just struggled. The rest handled the transition fine and didn’t do a lot of complaining that it wasn’t what they were used to

When my granddad was born everyone in his village made their money doing manual labour for the local lord. Old people have handled a lot of transition in their lives, arguably more than any generation in history. I’m patient with him not knowing how to use a computer he was alive when computers were invented

people shouldn’t have to know how computers work. Computer scientists exist to know that for them

you shouldn’t need to be a radio engineer to use a phone

I still catch up with him occasionally but we both got older and now we don’t have as much in common as we used to

The fact we have an idiom “sent to Coventry”

yeah but that was because Coventry was a roundhead stronghold where they imprissoned captured caveliers

although it is also true that near areas with lots of jobs rents will be higher and this is a case where the bourgeoise is actually relatively innocent and landlords are to blame instead. This is to a far lesser extent than it is for the proletariat an issue for the bourgeoise as it makes hiring more difficult to hire and takes money out of the economy that would likely otherwise be spent on commodities

yes I’m sure he found it a lot more funny than I did.

I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road

you should try interacting with cars as a pedestrian or cyclist. There are people driving on the roads now that I wouldn’t trust to safely ride in a pram let alone use of heavy machinery at high speed in a public area based on a test they did years ago. If car use was held to the same standard as safely using heavy machinery in an industrial environment a lot of people who drive now wouldn’t be let near a car. It’s like people think they have a god given right to operate heavy machinery despite having no ability (or inclination) to do so safely and doing it around children

also bikes don’t actually have turn signals and when you use your arm to signal it means you have less control of the bike while you do it

I remember this one motorist who as a hillarious joke would almost run me over. Not a fan of his

the trans hate is actually quite surprising as it has in many ways gotten way worse lately

yeah there is no master plan he is simply an idiot.
