Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.
lmao I didn’t know what was happening in this one for a moment
hmm you’re right. What if we ditch the video entirely and they just enter a prompt of what the video should be and we generate it. With AI?
What if we host the videos at 144p then have the client use ai upscaling to 4k?
I don’t think O&G outright tells them they’re buying it to shove it in the attic either.
I think low/no inheritance tax on the first X (50 mil for example) amount of assets/money, then the rest goes to gov is what he’s saying.
It would phase out billionaires in a naturalish fashion if executed correctly.
I agree with you when it comes to AI in its current form - I wouldn’t even call it a party trick, just dumb luck. Machine learning through repetition will use existing ideas and tropes.
However you can provide the model with unique ideas, new tropes, characters, environments, and settings. The model in its current form could generate something nearly usable (script wise) and still be a valid piece of art with some cleaning up. Just because you save time doesn’t make an idea less “good”
In the future we could have near sentient AI that generates actual pieces of art far faster and better than a person can.
Great advice in here. Now, how do I de-radicalize my mom? :(
I agree we likely need to downsize a lot of our daily conveniences (yeah fuck cars!) But I’d urge against trying to envision the solution before working on solving the problem. Saying we need to resort to subsistence farming in communities - why? We create food on a massive scale currently, and tons of it go to waste. Additionally so much of agriculture is lost to inefficiency through the meat industry.
Surely it would make more sense to focus on those two levers first before resorting to what sounds like feudal society.
Not looking to debate details, just urging a rational and realistic approach through steps that are achievable.
I’d strongly recommend the book “The Beginning of Infinity” by David Deutsch for a wider perspective on what you’ve stated. Humanity has always had problems and been in some ways on the verge of extinction perpetually, but we as a species find ways to solve these problems.
It’s weird how many users resort to instant doom and gloom (like not having kids?) when its another problem that will take hard work to solve. Just a quote from his book -
“It is inevitable that we face problems, but no particular problem is inevitable. We survive, and thrive, by solving each problem as it comes up. And, since the human ability to transform nature is limited only by the laws of physics, none of the endless stream of problems will ever constitute an impassable barrier. So a complementary and equally important truth about people and the physical world is that problems are soluble. By ‘soluble’ I mean that the right knowledge would solve them.”
Imagine a government agency decided to shut down twitter. Musk drops a fraction of his wealth to pay for it and crash it and people just laugh at all these “silly mistakes” he’s making.
Chat gpt, how do I exit a for loop early?
Twitter was a great place to engage in discussion because you could easily choose who to engage with. Was it perfect? No.
Musk destroying it is sad at best, terrifying at worst.
One of my friends won’t quit twitter because there’s no good sportsball on mastodon/Lemmy/kbin that I can find. Any groups, people, communities that talk about sportsball?
Would appreciate recommendations
