  • Wow, that’s quite something! You may have possibly noticed other benefits though? Maybe being less short of breath, your back is less sore, maybe a lower blood pressure or cholesterol at a medical? There’s many things you can notice other than your appearance in a mirror.

    40lbs is a great achievement and I hope you didn’t find it to be an absolutely pointless exercise.

    AI is in it’s “biplane” stage, just as people in the twenties would have found it hard to comprehend the future of commercialised flight or a man on the moon, people struggle to imagine the future of AI.

    AI is the very worse it’s going to be today, in the grand scheme of things, it’s only going to get better.

    Hard disagree.

    The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that’s a long chance.

    I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity.

    Computer hardware isn’t like a cars engine, it doesn’t get knackered after a 100,000 miles.

    If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there’s every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.


  • I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.

    But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.

    I see no reason why in twenty years AI won’t be as prevalent as “dot-com’s” are now.

    Typing a query in to Google is faster than making a post on Reddit and yet people still wanted you to do it for them. I never posted “have you tried Google?”, or anything like that, but lmgtfy links were always a fun option.




  • The mob is fickle, brother.

    The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn’t go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.

    It’s really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who’d go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.

    No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.
