With the release of ChatGPT 4 and the development of numerous other generative A.i. platforms, the A.i (re)/(de)volution is clearly upon us. Mass unemployment is one many potential upheavals A.i. could bring. A report from the World Economic Forum in 2021 projected when A.i will take over various sectors: For me, the structural changes A.i. will bring to practically every sector of the economy demand a fundamental rethinking of how our economy is structured. In alignment with the current dialogue catalyzed by Geoffrey Hinton regarding the dangers of A.i. should be a universal discussion on what benefits A.i. must legally afford human society. Such a conversation would be akin to the great Re-Awakening that happened after WW2 in terms of universal human rights and ensuring basic standards for as many people as possible. To cut to the chase, in my view many things that we pay for in society will have to become free in order to make the shift to the brave new world awaiting us. My "free for everyone" shortlist is the following: Basic needs: food, clothing, and shelter All levels of education (as much as a person wants to learn) Transportation Entertainment Utilities such as electricity, water, internet, etc Ultimately the difference between a significantly improved society and a significantly more miserable society rests on our collective decision about what basic rights A.i. should afford each person. How do you see the economy adjusting to the seismic A.i. disruption that is set to take place? Should the social safety net be deepened and expanded, or should it be every man / woman for him/herself?

This is a pair of bar magnets one of which has been demagnetized. How to find out which is it without any other tools or materials?

Perhaps google something like correlation between suicide rate and month. I have heard there's a peak in late spring and early summer.

What specific jobs are in danger from a language algorithm? So-called AI interpolates from what it’s trained on. It does not innovate. How is this different from the “automation will take all our jobs” cry that we’ve heard for decades now, and has fallen well short of the forecasted doom?

I think its an inevitable part of human evolution. The sensible and most likely approach would be slow integration. A.I should be an asset rather than a threat, both economically and socially. We have witnessed in our life times changes through technology, the introduction of the internet being one major example. then you can look at robots in manufacturing and other industries. The goal should be to free the world of poverty, reduce sickness and improve wellbeing for all. Reality, most likely, someone (maybe even A.I) will just get stinking rich/powerful and the poor will continue to be poor. I would support the following as priority Basic needs: food, clothing, and shelter Reduction in diseases and ill health Utilities such as electricity, water, internet, etc All levels of education (as much as a person wants to learn

We have an extremely small subset of humans who feel non-typical enough about their gender at birth to change it, and go through all that entails (definitely not a "whim" event). Once they've done it, they just want some acceptance, but instead their lives are threatened regularly, and they're blocked from participating in many aspects of life, and one aspect they particularly enjoy. My morals won't let me come down on the side that wants to persecute these humans for the temerity of wanting to sport. I'm not a sports fan any more, but, to me, this fuss about transgenders really makes sports fans seem weak and fearful and hateful. It just reinforces the big bully jock stereotype for me. Systemic problems often seem to get solved by overcorrection and radical action. We've been off course for quite a while, so just steering a bit left isn't going to work. We may need to go hard a-port for a ways to get where we want to go. That's if y'all want to go to the same place, where our equal rights are guaranteed and actually in writing, and humans are respected more for themselves than how well they fit our expectations.
