You are totally right, I tend to forget most people often don’t know the difference!

Im curious, did you watch the video?

This specific case does seem to be using AI as opposed to classical algorithms and did see an incredible boost in efficiency.

I mean, tech is tech: how we use it is the defining factor.

AI as a whole can have positive impacts: the incredible leaps from the medical field in protein folding being a good example: https://youtu.be/P_fHJIYENdI

Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

Huh, nothing changed…

Weird, I guess.

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

I am not a car person.

It is unconcievable to me that you can identify the brand of a car from such a partial picture.

Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can’t be good?

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!

I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.

I see that being said quite often.

Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?

In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I’d like to be proven wrong.

Being rich doesn’t mean your life doesn’t suck, just that you don’t have money problems.
