Reply to comment by joojie in British man deported to Jamaica launches action against Home Office | Richard Wallace wrongly classed as Jamaican and deported after serving murder sentence, despite having been born in London by kwentongskyblue

and the rest of us are welcome to our opinion that once someone becomes a murderer we don’t care about them or their rights.

i’m sure if someone killed someone you love then you wouldn’t be so quick to stand up for the rights of murderers.

Reply to comment by WalkenTaco in Researchers in Japan have developed an inexpensive method for fabricating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on a plastic film. The proposed method produces wiring suitable for developing all-carbon devices, including flexible sensors and energy conversion and storage devices. by rustoo

Yes carbon nanotubes have shown to be relatively stable in water, heat, and cold. Using carbon nanotubes instead of metal wires may also help avoid issues related to corrosion and oxidation. They also might be less prone to arcing across wires than traditional metal wires.

This can be used for flexible electronics, wearable sensors, and energy storage and conversion devices. This new method allows for the production of wires with different resistance values in the same process, making it very versatile.

Reply to People lack imagination and it’s really bothering me by thecoffeejesus

Ok so what do you want from us? Should this be the only thing we talk about? Should we be running around in circles screaming “The Singularity is near!”? MAYBE TYPING IN ALL CAPS WOULD HELP?

Yes it’s amazing! And the rate of change is accelerating. The next few years will see huge breakthroughs. I get it! But i also need to eat breakfast and take a shit every morning, and live my life. Yes The Singularity is near, but what the fuck am i supposed to do about it?

I really don’t understand what some of you are expecting. You sound like a religious nut job demanding that we all praise Jebus.

Reply to Does anyone else feel people don't have a clue about what's happening? by Destiny_Knight

Another post saying that no one is talking about it?

There are ten articles every day in the mainstream news. As far as i’m concerned people are talking about it too much and it’s getting annoying.

What do you expect? The news is going to stop reporting on everything else that’s happening in the world and just report on the latest dumbass to get Sydney to say something nonsensical? What else is there to talk about at this point?

I like ChatGPT. I use it every day. There’s not really that much to talk about. And when the next good product that uses generative transformers comes out, people will talk about that for a little while too. Then life will go on.

I’ve lived through much bigger and more transformative tech innovations that spawned and killed entire industries. This is big but that doesn’t mean everyone has to drop everything and put all their attention on it.

I’m starting to think some folks on this sub are like religious fanatics. Either that or are traumatized by what they’re seeing.

Reply to Microsoft has shown off an internal demo that gives users the ability to control Minecraft by telling the game what to do, and lets players create Minecraft worlds by AI language model by Schneller-als-Licht

I think the author has a limited view of what they are seeing.

I don’t think the point of microsoft adding ai to minecraft is for a gameplay feature, i think it’s to enable game creators to build worlds using text prompts, and minecraft was the proof of concept.

instead of searching a 3D asset library you can just prompt the ai to build your level and assets.

Reply to Is society in shock right now? by Practical-Mix-4332

i’ve been using chatGPT for useful things a few times a day and it’s very cool and helpful, able to do things faster and easier than web searches.

It’s pretty amazing but to me it’s just another of many useful tools, along with the many amazing and useful tools i’ve encountered since the days of the first pocket calculators.

Am i in denial about the supposed implications for civilization? Was i in denial when the first web browser came out?

Maybe it’s just another amazing and useful tool in a long line of amazing useful tools.

I had a pocket calculator in the ‘70s. I learned to program on my Commodore 64 in the ‘80s, i made my own web page in the ‘90s, etc.

You and i are talking to each other on Reddit. That’s pretty damn amazing.

All those things had an impact on society, as did the printing press, the radio, the telephone, and the rest. Air conditioning was probably one of the biggest changes to society yet we don’t think anything of it. Where would Florida Man be without AC?

Now we have generative transformers and they are amazing and useful. So what is it that’s so different about this that makes you think we are in shock or denial? What would it look like to not be in shock or denial?

It’s amazing but so were all those other things, and there’ll be other more amazing things to come.

And the news media can’t seem to shut up about ChatGPT, so what else do you want? Should they stop reporting on everything else?

Yes it’s amazing, and it will change things, but humanity will remain the same. As always we will adapt and it will become part of our lives, and children alive today will grow up in a world where they can’t imagine that there was a time when you couldn’t just ask for what you wanted from the chat bot. Just as someone in their 20s doesn’t know a world before touchscreens and facetime calls, and someone in their 50s doesn’t know a world before televisions. And all those things transformed society, making and breaking entire industries. Before the interstate highways the Pennsylvania Railroad was the most profitable corporation to ever exist. They had so much money they didn’t know what to do with it all, so they built giant beautiful train stations all over the country. Now they’re out of business and those train stations are crumbling.

As William Gibson once said, the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
