A Moment of Sunshine for the Spotless Mind

I for Vendetta

Exactly, and the billionaires are all people who took some crazy risk and actually won.

The billionaires are all people willing to exploit and steal from others in order to hoard as much as they can. You cannot earn 1 billion dollars.

Luck is a factor, but with daddy’s money the can afford to roll those dice as often as they want until they get “lucky”.

“Just 10 more data centers bro. Just another billion dollars and it will be as good as a person. Just 6 more months bro.”

Yes, they are improving, but there is also deminishing returns. If you doubled the amount of resources in genAI right now you would not get something twice as good, you might get a 25% improvement, and the resources currently being used is already obscenely high. GenAI is slowly closing the gap, but the resources required to do so are rapidly increasing. Actually closing the gap in unsustainable.

then clearing context or changing engines and asking it to check your work throug the lense of a 5th grade teacher would very likely net you nearly undetectable results.

Did you literally just say “if you have genAI check the work of other genAI the genAI will say it’s good”?

To me that sounds like nearly 50,000 people that have good reason to go burn down data centers.

The school day may not be as long as a standard work day, but factor in homework and my friend’s kids are doing a lot more than 40 hours a week.

The ones don’t this aren’t going to graduate as their homework is going to be full of errors and they can’t use genAI during a test.

Unfortunately for your cousin their teacher actually knows things and will spot all the errors ChatGPT makes.

Consistently, in every field, GenAI looks good to people who don’t know anything about the field, and looks like trash with obvious errors to people who are knowledgeable about the field.

Is it too much money and power corrupts the mind, or is it a corrupt mind that seeks too much money and power?

You need to keep in mind that that is not an analysis of a random sampling of the population, that is an analysis of people who are willing to play the lottery in the first place. By definition these are people bad with money and planning.

You just did?

while including information that would make enacting that violence quick and easy.

Is that something you’ve been seeing a lot of? Or are you inventing something that’s not happening in order to make what is happening sound worse than it is?

Legality and morality are two different things.

This is the type of question my Calc teacher would put on a test. He liked doing weird questions probably because we’re doing fucking calculus here, it doesn’t make sense in “every day word problems” (I have never once needed to know how long it will take me to fill a funnel while I let water pour out it at the same time, and where the water line will be after exactly 7 seconds) so trying to make a word problem out of it is already an exercise in nonsense.

it’s not magic, or being rich, it’s just understanding basic mathematics.

Right, the basic math that landlords make a profit off of rent, therefore rent is GREATER than the cost of the mortgage + standard expenses and upkeep.

It’s really not complicated and I don’t know why some people will spend paragraphs trying to pretend it is in order to excuse rent seeking behavior.

See OP. They can afford their own place. They are paying more in rent than the would on a mortgage.

Ah, so if all renters can have family members be their landlords then the problem is solved!

Sure, but 90% of the money in politics says there’s nothing wrong with it. So who do you think is going to be louder?

So the bank gets the money they are owed?

And I’ll just note that any landlord is going to charge enough in rent to cover all the costs of the house, not just the mortgage, as well as profit for themselves. Otherwise they’re not going to be a landlord for long.
