    I’ve always found people who freak out about AI sentience extremely pathetic. Just absolute baboons who get impressed by mundane shit. I first came across it with the whole “roko’s basilisk” shit and immediately dismissed them as morons, and many years later I’m still validated

      Yeah, I’m worried because the mundane tasks it could automate are good ways to justify hiring on more junior people to gain experience. Which would make the fresh out of college job market even more insane, but people are treating chatgpt as if it’s an oracle.

        Increase education length by 5 years.

        Pretty much all “jobs disappearing to automation” problems can be solved by replacing them with longer education or more research positions within education. Eventually transitioning all of society into essential work, entertainment, education and research.

          This wouldn’t be a bad thing except :porky-happy: wants to perpetually loot students already and that’d just be even more looting.

            Literally all good ideas are bad ideas when they get implemented by porkie, especially because the only reason porkie will implement anything is either to stop revolution or to increase their wealth.

            We should still keep thinking of good ideas though.

              I’d rather think of the best ideas that would by necessity need to come first. :sicko-crowd: :porky-scared:
