When my oldest was little, we'd have multiple dog owners run their dogs off-leash right through our flag footall practice.

Once? Whatever. It happens. Okay. Cute.

Second time? C'mon now.

Third time? Now we gotta have words with the owner who is always_self-aggrieved_that we would object for any reason.

After that, we would have to threaten physical violence if the dog came off-leash near the kids again.

Owner completely shocked. Zero self-awareness.

@nrken19 Have they ever back-tested a reconstructed face?

You can tell which is your most important meeting of the week, because that's the meeting when your Mac will randomly choose to update its OS.

@amlivemon Have you laid out what you think happens?

Some sort of UBI?

@jameshritz @BrianNorgard In the documentary, Todd owns his failures and says he loved hanging out with his Dad.

(Not sure if that was just polite fiction for the camera.)

I have come to the same conclusion.

I asked some Very Smart People™ on this app, and it was always waved off arrogantly: Don't worry dude. New tech is always scary at first, but it always creates new jobs. Humans just move up the ladder etc etc

Indian Bronson blocked me because I couldn't understand his answer to that question.

But all the examples of those earlier technologies (eg printing press, loom etc) automated one function and left general human judgment on the rung above and then people climbed up to it. Okay but....

AI is a general purpose intelligence technology. It can be sicced at almost every kind of knowledge work, >>>including the new kinds it creates<<<.

So no rung above it to move up to or at least, not for very long -- hence the half-life of the marginal job seems to be shrinking....

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

Assume the optimists are right: AI creates new jobs.

Then AI quickly climbs to the next higher rung of the ladder and automates those jobs too.

Then the next ones. And so on.

Ergo, AI creates work, but if AI keeps shrinking the half-life of the marginal job, what happens?

Rocky and Superman are two distinct types of heroes with two type of applicable stories.

1) You were born with special powers/honors but you had to discover them: Superman, Neo, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker

2) You don't have any special powers at all because you're an ordinairy -- but you can work crazy hard and never give up and do extraordinary things: Rocky, Larry Bird.

@josephflaherty :/

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

Anyone have a response to this?

@josephflaherty AI is certainly a de facto IQ booster -- but it doesn't boost everyone equally.

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@josephflaherty Fuck.

I was hoping someone would come up with a good response that clearly demonstrated where I was 100% wrong.

Two offleash dogs with bad intentions started >>circling<< my oldest and me in the street. Owner casually standing by on his lawn pretending not to notice.

My kiddo looks up at me. ScaryCavemanPv spawns in, taps NormalHumanPv on the shoulder and says "I'll drive from here on out".

ScaryCavemanPv with murder in his eye, directs his energy directly at one of the dogs. Approaches dog forcefully.

Dogs are confused -- have never seen prey turn into predator -- stop growling and circling and start backing up.

Owner *now* suddenly engaged and worried about dogs' behavior as I about to commit a double-canicide runs over: "HEY MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

CavemanPv makes it clear that if he encounters the dogs again offleash in the street there will no more dogs.

Owner whining: "HEY MAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT"

Zero self-awareness. Zero regret. Total victim.

An old women’s dog rushed at my daughter who I was pushing in a pink plastic car stroller. She tried yelling at me. She was not prepared. Do not let these dog owners act this way. Film them and yell at them so they can’t make something up.

@jurlycat He just doesn't care.

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@JonesEveryman They simply don't care or even enjoy it.
