At the rate we're destroying the entire ecosystem, there won't be any lobster and crab either, so... there's that.

>By your own definition it seems like humans shouldn’t be considered intelligent.
I mean, I know more than a few humans that I don't consider intelligent.
Seriously though, our set of instructions is our DNA, our instructions are to grow and learn and get smarter every day and make even smarter copies of ourselves. True AI will almost certainly be able to expand itself and/or create offspring as it sees fit, which is why it's rather scary, you know, enslave the humans and all that.

An algorithm should never be considered AI because an algorithm is just a set of rules to follow.
Just take a few minutes to think about those two words, Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence should be reserved for a machine that can truly learn beyond any set of rules.
GPT is just an algorithm that's been fed tons of information along with a set of parameters (rules), and as impressive and clever as it is, it does not learn and grow independently of its original design. The term AI is thrown around so recklessly now that everyone has completely lost the real definition.

At the rate that the term neural network is being abused, never. By then there will be a new term.

This is that. GPT is just the next iteration of what Google has been doing for decades. A neural network is just a fancy algorithm. Calling everything AI just devalues the term.

And it's so obviously snake oil to anyone that knows anything about software. A chatbot is not Artificial Intelligence just because it's a little bit better than last year's version.

I wonder what would happen if we stopped letting 30 people own all the wealth.

I'm so god damn tired of it always being labeled bad news no matter what. GDP is down, terrible news, recession looming! Wait, GDP is up, oh no, the fed is going to raise rates, horrible!

They tend to think that it'll be a huge ordeal for them if they actually punish the criminal, and alternatively if they just sweep the whole thing under the rug the problem will go away.

Reply to comment by Marvele10 in Bye-bye airplane mode: EU allows smartphones during flights by Zhukov-74
I don't know, I don't live in Europe, I was just visiting. Here in the states, every commercial airliner still has no-smoking lights because it's a federal requirement, and it's not because "you can't smoke indoors because of health and stuff" it's a safety issue.

Instead of a seatbelt light and no-smoking light above every passenger row, there was a seatbelt light and no-cellphone light above every passenger row.

I was just on a flight in Europe yesterday and instead of no smoking signs in every row, there was no-phones light. That was a poor choice.

Record profits. Can't afford to give employees fucking sick days though.
