How about we get “Universal Basic Income”, to respect all the unpaid work?
That’d make my choice of not using Excel (at the expense of risking not getting work) more worthwhile.
… And surviving genocide when welfare was stripped away, fraudulently re-labelling as “fit to work”, killing over 130,000 disabled people in Britain from 2010 to 2019, a more worthwhile struggle too.
Otherwise, it seems even if AI does not take jobs, most work done with AI will be unpaid.

My British autism and too long time spent online among non-Brits causing me to consider it could have been meant non-sarcastically. Those people are out there.

Great, so now all kind people have to look out for:

Oh, you too?
We should create a group for our special class.

Poe’s Law prevents me fathoming if that’s said in earnest.

If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.
Because being wrong didn’t matter. Daddy had their back.

Do not underestimate the idiocracy.

I did some maths yesterday, after hearing said that wages have gone down by a third every decade since 1970… meaning (if I did the maths correctly) in this coming decade wages are less than a tenth what they were in the 1970s.
A quick search just now suggests house prices are about 4 times more expensive in real terms over the same period.
So that’s fine. We just have to pull on our bootstraps over 40 times harder for better budgeting enough to buy a house.

ADHD can be perfectly healthy.
It just takes some skill to ride that wild bull.

Yep. Like merc@sh.itjust.works said at the end of their reply:
I guarantee that most of the kids that come from rich families have no idea what it’s like not to be rich. As a result, they don’t ever consider that it might not be normal to be able to have your dad’s lawyer look over the contracts for your new company free of charge. They never think of how easy they had it to find investors for their company, and how forgiving those investors were. It never occurred to them that during those lean months at the beginning when their company hadn’t yet started generating real revenue, that it was unusual to be able to live in their parents’ spare apartment in the city, and to have dad pay off their credit card.

Gotta admire the cojones of those bootstraps.

- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
The real gems are still hard to find, and require more ambitious exploring.
Most of the best, I get from suggestions from other people in irc or on the fediverse.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
I hope all my fave autistic musicians are not mistaken for AI and deleted under a false-positive detection of being AI. At least my fave’s album releases all pre-date AI music generators. Safe, for now.
I think safer would be to encourage all purely AI-generated be tagged as such, so it can be optionally toggled out of view, and then there’s less incentive for the unscrupulous to simply hide that it’s AI generated. Banning increases the “hide that it’s AI” vibes, not the “don’t do AI” vibes. Prohibition does not prevent. Prohibition makes the good things bad and the bad things worse.

Why not build a separate one to train those without such?
I mean, if we’re doing a two tier thing, surely it’d at least be educational, to help the disadvantaged…

Please tell me they’re not done, and they’re going to make a ceramic moulding of it, to pour a very strong alloy into… And have the competence in chemistry, metallurgy, metalwork and engineering to know they have the precision and strength to make it work.

Arguably, sun worship is at the roots of all religion, and so that’s like saying to god “kill yourself”.
Maybe your prayers are answered. Just wait about another 5 billion years.

PS, I admire your verbal intelligence if you effortlessly get the meaning of that on first read. Quite the vocabulary you have there. Did you swallow a thesaurus when you were 3 years old?
- Comment on Give me some good ones 2 weeks ago:
I’m looking for insults so intelligent you don’t realise you’ve been roasted until 3 thoughts later.
Your precocious insipd query’s so strongly influential it triggers my ilithiophobia and a solicitude for philanthropic mischance and exponential precarity of inviolability, and thus my small voice has me incapable of answering.
… May take longer than 3 months [Edit, oh, dyslexic misread, it’s “thoughts”, not “months”. I aimed too high.]. May never realise.
