Well, Hotz did state that, “The truth is that work as we know it in its modern form has not been around that long, and I kind of want to use AI to abolish it. I want to take everyone’s jobs. Most people would be happy with that, especially the ones who don’t like their jobs. Let’s free them of mental tedium and push that to machines. In the next 10 years, you’ll see a big segment of the human labor force fall away. In 25 years, AI will be able to do almost everything a human can do. The last people with jobs will be AI programmers.”
What interests me about your argument is the assumption that the "poor starving" will just sit by and passively accept that.
The reason we don't have an insurrection on our hands now about wealth disparity is that while the wealth of the super wealthy has accelerated hugely so has the general living standard of the poor, if (when) the jobs go away that will no longer be the case and then you are talking about a brutal escalation into a full insurrection and while the technology and wealth will be on one side, the last 15 years in the middle east has shown what committed people with pickups and AK's can do against an on-paper massively superior opponent.
I just hope the super wealthy are smart enough to see this coming and avoid it, it would be spectacularly brutal.
Once our entire agricultural system (here in the UK) was dependent on manual farm labourers, now we grow 60% of the calories we consume with 1.6% of the workforce.
> It's a nice dream, but the idea of AI and robots doing dishes, picking strawberries, washing cars, cooking meals will never happen.
If something can be automated at a lower cost than paying wages it eventually will be, automation is coming (arguably has been here since the industrial revolution) and it's not stopped yet.
What you describe sounds like the existing Communities feature, but until there is code block formatting in posts it'll still be a pain to read code in G+
I'm missing why it's not replacing the G+ Messenger app (or maybe it is, idk). For some one who's been able to install the new Hangout app - do you also still have the Messenger app as well?
I've found that if both users have their windows at full-size, it's fairly easy to read (at least, default Sublime Text 2 is readable) so long as the connection is good. As soon as either user adjusts, it shrinks too much unless you've got the text bumped up quite a bit (and even then, you might be dealing with too much connection fuzz for it to be readable).
How do you go about doing that? Just decide on an amount upfront manually watch the balance? I didn't see any function to cap the total lifetime spend on a campaign or stop it once it hit a certain level.
Yes, although there's a trap here (or used to be, don't know if it's fixed): the spend starts at midnight and goes through to whenever it runs out, so you end up only advertising in the mornings.
