Im going need a 4 hour Adam Curtis documentary on AI soon that explains why it can all be traced back to second-order cybernetics research in the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic in the late 70s early 80s
@hecubian_devil I think it’s the sloppification of everything being sticky even if the models plateau/fail and the data center build outs never happen. Shit like this being posted by the government already broke something important. I think it’s a humanist argument. A recoil.
@MattBruenig@KelseyTuoc They act like Hasan is some kind of thug idiot when his response is thoughtful, articulate, and nuanced. There's a reason why so many people like listening to him / talking to him!
@willmenaker In the 1999 Nelvana cartoon version the sizing even changes between scenes. The rats are shown as human sized when riding/driving the horse cart and then Cluny throws one of the rats onto the horse and it’s normal rat sized on the horse.
Moving to Canada was the best decision I ever made. I can’t tell you how little I’ve ever had to think about or pay any money for any health stuff. I’ve never had a long wait at the doctor and have only received excellent care. Life is so so so so much better without this noise.
What if there was a bank account available, that required you to deposit monthly, what you would have paid an insurance company in premiums, for an ACA silver plan. So for a family of 5 about $2100.
The amount would then be used for Stop Loss Insurance set at $30k dollars. About $300. Another $200 would be used for local Direct Primary Care for your family
The balance would be in YOUR bank account.
Like an HSA, It could only be used for approved medical expenses. If you never have any medical expenses, you will get to keep the money plus checking act level interest, when you turn 65
If you have a medical event that is more than what you have saved, your bank will loan you the money you need to pay for it, up to the $30k stop loss trigger
You would repay that amount using the monthly $1600 net deposit. Once the loan is paid off, the deposits start to accrue to you again.
This is not insurance. It’s a specially designed bank account that gives you control, support, a doctor to work with and catastrophic financial protection.
Lots of work and issues to be addressed. But I was curious what people think
Let me know !
Angine de Poitrine putting a 14/4 microtonal riff into the heads of tens of millions of people at the same time has to be some sort of new CIA technology. It’s like Wind of Change for the Havana Syndrome era.
I feel like it’s time to do an adaptation of The Left Hand of Darkness. I want to be able to say “I’m going full kemmer tonight” and have people know how funny that is.
@alexbronzini I don’t know I’m AI skeptical too but in the last week I’ve been able to do things that were impossible a month ago. Example - Dynamic Sankey diagrams that respond perfectly to input sliders that require interdependent calcs on millions of data points. 10 min to make. Unreal.
