Yeah, but the last one you ordered is your last until you order another.

To me that means an autonomous being that understands what it is.

A little thought experiment: How would you determine whether another human being understands what it is? What would that look like in a machine?

As far as I’m concerned, “intelligence” in the context of AI basically just means the ability to do things that we consider to be difficult. It’s both very hand-wavy and a constantly moving goalpost. So a hypothetical pacman ghost is intelligent before we’ve figured out how to do it. After it’s been figured out and implemented, it ceases to be intelligent but we continue to call it intelligent for historical reasons.

The kid actually answered the question. The teacher’s expected response is basically “no, your question is wrong and I refuse to answer it.”

For the same reason I’d attend a meeting and complain afterwards that it could’ve been an email, despite knowing that I was going into a meeting.

I think it’s reasonable to expect the video formats to only be used when it’s a good medium for communicating whatever it’s communicating.

I do not have ADHD.

I keep everything open as live tabs.

Context will tell you that we’re talking about losing access to water. If people won’t procreate because they don’t have water, it makes no difference if it’s because we are literally all out of water or if someone else is hoarding it all. In both cases, there’s no access to water.

Remember when we had mailing lists that basically acted like forums and group chats with your various friend groups that consisted of these long email chains?

How are they managing to spend that much for imprisonment? Are they actual expenses or is someone pocketing most of it?

Burgers should neither be taller nor wider. Just give me two normal sized burgers.

Same. And in the past decade plus of using smartphones, I’ve never had to open the slot except to install the SIM card for the first time. Why do I even keep it around?

But then I have to work an extra 10 hours of my minimum wage job just to eat for 10 minutes. The ratio is even worse!

Is there actually a need to? Does ingested fluoride do anything that toothpaste fluoride doesn’t do?

Yes
