I too watch sportsball and understand this joke.

Agreed, who thought globalization was going anywhere? Did the internet shut down when I wasn't looking? Did word wide commerce stop at some point?...

People are largely incentivized by things above and beyond basic subsistence which is all UBI promises. Where is the carrot if there is no stick? That's pretty much the summation of your question I think. Vacations, nicer vehicles, money to spend on private ventures and passion projects, art, music, etc. Essentially everything that already incentivizes people beyond keeping their rent paid and alive in reasonably good health.

ChatGPT got you homie:

Prompt: explain it to me like I'm a drunk five year old: what is the difference between classic computing and quantum computing

Sure! Classic computing is like using a regular old calculator to do math. It can only do one thing at a time, and it can only do things that you tell it to do using a special language called code. Quantum computing is like using a super fancy calculator that can do lots of math problems at the same time, and it can do things that you might not have even thought to ask it to do. It's really fast and powerful, but it's also really hard to understand and use.

Someone did some drugs and spit out a loosely coherent wall of text.

AI: When can I expect it to replace my wife? What do you think the trade in value will be on gently used, certified pre-owned white women?

This is why some people say a time machine would also have to be a teleportation device. Consider the inverse of this, if you could calculate a precise coordinate of time to travel to you could also precisely coordinate a point in space to land in.

Seriously! The amount of knee-jerk fear mongering on this sub and others after ChatGPT launched has gotten ridiculous. There is healthy skepticism that recognizes that maybe it's not wise to start a new career doing repetitive or easily duplicated tasks lacking in creative thinking and then there is this. If you are really surprised by this new chatbot then you really haven't been seeing the writing on the wall in the AI and machine learning world for quite some time now. If you are worried about losing out to AI then double down on your skills that can't be replicated easily by AI and learn how to integrate AI tech into your life in a successful way. Direct competition against AI in some fields is going to be like playing chess vrs the program that beat the world champs, don't try. Play a new game.

You mean like: "A study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update, based on 153 estimates from men who were probably unaware of their fertility, suggests that the average sperm concentration fell from an estimated 101.2m per ml to 49.0m per ml between 1973 and 2018 – a drop of 51.6%."

Exact cause unknown though it's believed to be tied to microplastics in the food chain.
