Reply to For world philosophy day 13 thinkers share the philosophical questions that will define this century | Including Noam Chomsky on destruction, Naomi Oreskes on climate crisis and Carissa Veliz on innovation by IAI_Admin
“For the first time in human history, our fate is almost entirely in our hands. But our ethics has hardly progressed since the Greeks and our biology and psychology is the same as our hunter-gatherer ancestors: we are nepotistic, tribalist free riders prone to violence and fanaticism who hold a causal sense of responsibility, shunning the disastrous effects of our omissions. “
LOL Julian Savulescu put that pretty well!

Reply to Salt Lake City's city council voted in favor of a project to build a small community of tiny homes for people experiencing chronic homelessness! by Taintastic
When will we learn that putting all the poor people together in a separate community is a terrible idea? The housing projects in NYC are perfect example of why that’s a terrible idea, as they are filled with violent crime but we are stuck with them.
Better to give people housing payment assistance so they can live as part of the wider community.

I think of anything related to deep space travel as science fiction. As much as i try, i can’t see any point to FTL travel.

Maybe three or four years? I’m equally pessimistic as i allways was. i’ve never been very optimistic about it and this sub hasn’t changed anything.

Are you someone who travels for meetings?

But that’s my point. The issue is the meeting participants, not the technology. No one wants this. It’s just Zuck’s fantasy.

Right now on zoom hardly anyone turns on their camera. Does Zuck really expect people to put on a headset for an hour long meeting with a bunch of corporate drones? The guy is fantasizing and this product will be a flop.

Seems unlikely. Smartphones go in your pocket or bag. No one wants to walk around with a headset, or put one on to answer a call.

Reply to Why Meta’s latest large language model survived only three days online by nick7566
Some of these problems already exist with Alexa and Siri. I very often ask them simple questions and get false answers. One example that comes to mind was when i asked Siri how many novels Stephen King had written, her answer was “Stephen King has written 10 novels.”
I just checked again and this time she was correct but still there are many cases where they are wrong, in part because they get their answers from questionable sources.
