I agree that we’re in for pain, given that capitalism runs the show, but there is a world where AI takes mostly all of the jobs, where we use renewable energy, and capitalism crumbles by necessity. If everything is automated, and electricity becomes essentially free, then all necessities become essentially free. Of course, it is much more likely that the oligarchy prevents that from happening and we have no jobs and we have to pay for everything that costs them nothing.

I guess what I want to say is that the technology shouldn’t be villainized; the villains should be villainized. The solution isn’t to get rid of AI, it’s to get rid of the ultra-wealthy and work towards a society not run by late stage capitalism.

To be fair, “wanna” is “want to” not “want a”. She obviously was asking about boxing

Totally. Life only got better for me in my twenties, onward, because I hit rock bottom from 17 to 19.

This is what annoys me about “fuck AI” being the new trendy/cool thing. The issue is not AI itself, and if done right, can be a huge benefit to humanity as a whole. The issue is all the greed of the rich capitalists in control of it. And, also, when it’s needlessly shoved down our throats when it truly has no benefit, or in fact only drawbacks.

Aren’t theater-geeks geeks and math-nerds nerds?

I appreciate all the suggestions here, because I’ve been using Google and getting really annoyed by the AI overview. At first glance it seems useful, but it’s frequently just plain wrong or very misleading.

I think I’m going to just drop Google altogether, even though I’ve been using it pretty much as long as it existed. I remember first finding out about it when my dad worked at Kodak way back in the day.

That’s super nice. If you drive an EV and charge at home, $0.11 / kWh * 75 kWh = $8.25 for about 300 miles of range.

Yeah, total cost is going to be at least $0.15 USD / kWh, and can be as high as $0.25 USD / kWh. I've lived all over the US and it's never been less than $0.15 USD / kWh.

Wouldn’t it be depressing if this were the best timeline?

I'm not sure what Google has to do with it, but here you go: https://archive.is/75fuN
