Fundamentally yes, just on a different degree of magnitude as mentioned. Any time you automate processes you risk losing the knowledge of the way things were done before hand. With CGI this wasn’t as such a big deal since it only affected things like movie and TV, but a lot was lost if you think about it, stop motion is all but dead, I guess no one knows how to do claymation anymore, I’m sure a lot of practical effects and stunt knowledge has been lost as well. Now, with AI we are replacing the sum of human knowledge. It’s a hugely different scale. We are talking about replacing human cognition, which is actually a pretty radical proposal. (Not the good radical, imo.)

It’s been about 20 years since the intro of the iPhone and most people are absolutely lost without their smart phone maps, because they have offloaded that part of their cognition to their phone. Now, imagine if they keep offloading other things, those faculties are not being used, your mind is not sharp because you are always deferring to something else. It will be interesting to see how things look after 20 years of AI usage, I guess, if we haven’t been destroyed by it yet. (Joke, I don’t think it would happen quite so fast, hopefully.)

I think the key is really the degree to which people rely on it. If it’s the first go to for all the answers we’re in trouble.

Oh sorry, no, I don’t think it’s necessary to do anything in particular, just being a decent person is enough. I always felt like I needed to do something or something was undone when I was confused about my identity, so I thought maybe it could be the same for others.

Sure and next year they start renting them out.

I have no idea how you gleaned that from what I said. I was talking about my personal experiences and not talking about anything else.

What do you know the American badass tough guy freedom tea party patriot is just a big old toddler who wants a daddy.

Zzzzz.

Sure, dismissal and outright denial can put you in dark places, alcoholism for a lot of years, other drugs, just doing nothing. In the dark metaphorically speaking.

I guess I would explain it as an agreed upon way of talking to each other, say you decide you want to text, or call, or send a card. A protocol is like that. It’s not the data just the transmission method. A protocol controls the data stream, the hand shaking (when it is OK to start sending data, which port, where to send it). A data packet sent using a protocol is like a letter, with a sender, intended receiver, stamp (signature, key, CRC, etc.).

Sorry, it was a bad day and it appears I took it the wrong way :( I thought you were talking about me personally and not the name as the name was for Don. I’m a bit sensitive atm, apologies too.

Soon after, they are pining for the fjords.

I have no idea why everyone takes me so dreadfully seriously but it’s god damn annoying. I guess I should address that I am not actually that much of a pervert unfortunately, years of Catholic guilt had me denying who I even was for decades.

I’d go with Dong Dickler.

I’m sorry, rabbit fire thoughts sound absolutely dreadful.

Lol, you know what I mean.

You’re a gem, Don, don’t change a thing.

I feel like Wet Hot American Summer and it’s follow up series already smashed the summer camp trope out of the park haha.

I’m in the midwest and the shit is an epidemic already, I’m not going to yuck someone’s yum but there has to be a limit to what people are allowed to drive on the road, those giant trucks are so unsafe, you can barely see anything over the hood unless it’s 20 ft in front of you.

There is a entry lane onto 94 north of chicago where the speed limit is 70 mph but every single person wants to merge at like 45 mph, but then they will keep on accelerating (slowly) to like 100 mph and pass you. I fucking don’t understand.
