Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Gradine]

As soon as I saw the complaint about "the alphabet," I was done.

Again? We just left this party! We can't keep doing this!

It is clear that some people have never experienced the trials and tribulations around Doctor Who missing episodes.

1. I'd literally never take either of you as having anything of worth to say on the subject. Goodbye forever.

2. Bunch more layoffs due to AI. Its interesting in that existential "when will the hammer fall on me" kind of way. On the one hand when it works, it works well enough for what I need that I could easily see how a number of my coworkers are redundant. When it fails though? Its flat out wrong, to the point where its doing me a disservice.

3. Oh, and Musk thinks robots at $30K a pop are just going to be working in our offices 'soon'? Yeah right.

I haven’t been tracking prices, but I know they’re falling surprisingly fast. He may not be far from wrong, given the overall vagueness of “robots”, “in offices” & “soon”.

I’m pretty sure Trials and Tribulations was a Star Trek episode. Little furry balls that multiply?

Seems to me the easiest class of "workers" to replace is CEO billionaires.

"Tribble-ations" for DS9.

Yeah, I was surprised to see it myself. My own department has been running really lean for a year now, we are all burning out. Getting some bots to do our jobs for a fraction of the cost up front seems like a no brainer, right up to the point they delete all the client data or send their banking info to a different client...

I actually did some stuff in my job today that AI just can't do and it felt good to push back the idea that AI is coming for me back a few years as a result. (At least, so long as the beancounters see what I'm doing, which is the other challenge.)

Musk also claimed there would be a Tesla autonomous vehicle taxi fleet by 2020. It's amazing how many people buy the Tony Stark hype.

Robots to dip fries at fast food restaurants seem a lot more likely, given that they're less expensive and are already much closer to coming to market.
