and as if this isn’t something that flags with the historical trends

https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

In short, up till the 1970s worker pay and productivity moved nearly in perfect sync with each-other, more stuff happens, people get paid more, then, it stopped, company profits shot up, while worker pay barely went up at all (could be argued it went down due to inflation), Point is fixing that part first is kind of what matters. Then we can look into expecting the average person to care about “productivity” going up, THEN we can start finding out if AI is even being directed in a way that accomplishes that.

doesn’t google voice require another phone number to register?

it is also worth pointing out because we are thinking of the car comparison… but cheetah’s only spend a very brief time anywhere close to their top speed (usually under 30 seconds). A cheetah attack is over one way or the other in seconds, and a cheetah would almost die of heat stroke if it sprinted for a full minute.

Staff is also usually instructed to make you buy more as well.

Anyway my key point isn’t that kiosks are flawless, my point is, there is a tangible benefit, a reason why a decent portion of people may actually get a benefit to them from a kiosk. (IE less factors for order mistakes, potentially easier time finding what they want, some people don’t want to have to use their voice and talk to someone at all).

My point is, in the fast food restraunts in my area, the ones that have kiosks, mostly also have human casheers as well, and even when the restraunt is slow and there’s no line for either one, it’s close to 50/50 of where people go to. While if an AI voice bot were added, I would be shocked if 1% of people would chose that over a human or a kiosk.

Kiosks, by definition reduce the points of failure in making an order. If I order through a human.

I might mis-speak, Employee might mishear me, Employee might hit the wrong button.

When I use the kiosk… I might hit the wrong button.

That’s a clear defined advantage of the system on the fundimental level

an AI drive through window

I might mispeak, AI might mishear me, AI might do something unexpected even with the correct data. All the flaws of humans and kiosks.

and I’m sure it won’t turn itself back on anyway every software update… with 15 promtps “hey are you really sure you don’t want to use this, we’ve improved it, why don’t you try it again before you disable it again”.

Where are you getting the idea that github is open source? GitHub CAN host open source software… and git is open source. GitHub is a website that allows people to upload content… and the source code is not open, and controlled by microsoft.

Now as far as whether usernames are changable on actual opensource websites… that’s also not a given. That’s a matter of if the software chooses to allow it. If the website doesn’t, you are welcome to take the source code, edit the source code to make it possible, and host your own copy of it. But nothing in open source inherently means you have any more control of an open source website that’s hosted outside of your machine/servers than a closed source one.

I mean the problem with drive throughs is that’s like the most painful way to order anything. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human or an AI. Lets talk on a garbage speaker 6 feet away with traffic, wind and everything else inbetween. Without being able to see the face of the person. Know when or if the feed has been cut off, also the added fun of the speed being terrible and of course the ability to get stuck because even if you realize it’s not worth the time… a car can pull up behind you and force you to wait it out as long as it takes.

Mental health is pretty under-diagnosed clinically and overdiagnosed regularly. I mean for starters things like autism are well a huge ass spectrum. I’ve never been diagnosed with it, though I certainly have a ton of traits that… well really make sense for it now that I can look at it.

Would also say a large part of the problem is… everythings under-diagnosed clinically in the states because… all forms of healthcare are fricking expensive. So you can spend hundreds to get a doctors appointment to find out that you have it, and, either get a prescription that’s also very expensive, or deal with it as you have been so far, and of course the irony that, if you haven’t been succesful at dealing with it on your own, you probably have had a harder time working a job, and thus, are in a much worse position to afford the doctors and prescription.

I’m meaning picking the items and what I want on my food. Point is when I hit “extra pickles” the computer doesn’t go “no pickles?” or possibly ignore me. Point is voice communication is… well rife with mishearing and miscommunication, whether the recipient is an AI or a human.

Just as when I’m communicating with humans… if not having mistakes is important, I send a text.

The only complaint I disagree with is

We hate the kiosks at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell that we are asked to use instead of talking to a person

Personally I love the kiosks. I love being able to select exactly what I want, and not go through a communication layer with a person, who may mishear or misinterpret what I say, and adding that while still having humans there for people who don’t like using screens or actually have questions is a good thing IMO.

But yes, AI is all the flaws of human workers, plus some because they always have and always will be significantly worse than humans at spotting mistakes giving you what you don’t want etc…

I mean… both are inevitable… the economy has collapsed for the normal people, and employments been hitting everyone for over a year, and bottom line, either way AI goes… it’s a lot of jobs. IE it fails and shrinks down… all the jobs around it are in trouble, it actually succeeds it’s going to take as many jobs as possible, there’s no job friendly ending to this.

AI is as useful and necessary as 3D video, cryptocurrency, NFTs, The Cloud, and all the other fads. Note that all the fads have stuck around in one manner or another. LLMs will too.

Agreed I see some strong use for AI… just not everywhere, everything like it’s being shoved down our throats.

Mossad more likely. Epstein basically bolstered a lot on 4chan.

Is the holiday season not gluttony months?

and like the finals of every sportsball being wrath months?

Was going to say, the quote sounds great, but of course I had a feeling the context was probably saying… calling the specific government/individuals who are commiting a genocide out for what they are actually doing. Rather than hating people for what their race is.

I mean I can say it’s not quite as guaranteed to be bad. IE distance from A to B is inherently bad, Most distance driven COULD mean you made more stops and did more good… or it could mean you took a horrible route, got lost and wound up crossing through the wrong state.

if I’m seeing it right, it looks like odyssius is meant to be more of a front end. IE it still needs ollama as the back end.

Only if you assume that all miles are correctly headed towards the destination. 2 drivers are given the same 3 places to deliver packages to.

one drives 2000 miles, the other 50.

Admitted though now that I actually think about it, I guess we already have that level of stupid assumptions. After all the normal system of pay for many jobs is by the hour. Which I suppose has all the same flaws.

I believe the implication is ended 5 months after his term started.
