don't use rails, use python

I do use python and did some projects in python

sounds like it's 3 hours of coding / day + 5-10 hours a day preparing for and thinking about the problem. that's 7-12 hours / day if you add in an hour's worth of breaks. sounds billable to me!

check out 80's movies. The dying steel town was a trope.

Yeah, but was there a campaign against products that were assembled with robots?

Like there are anti AI art campaigns on Artstation and elsewhere.

or we could just build a ton of nuclear plants.

Do you think the card catalog down at the local library is sentient? Maybe that's not enough data, though! Is the card catalog for NY Public Library sentient? Maybe that's still too local. Is Google sentient? Everyone with a clue would admit these are all examples of "knowledge" It's the same parlor trick, with fancier algos. It's not intelligence. It won't produce a human-level AI. Period.

It's not the amount of data, it's what it does with that data. Try typing "Tell me a story about a unicorn arguing with people on Hacker News" into a card catalog and tell me how good it is at storytelling. Typing that into GPT-4 might not win any literary awards, but it obviously understands what you meant and does a passable job.

But they had AIs that generated stories in the 1960s! Were those "intelligent"? Some people back then said they were.

if you look at Uber's fundamentals thru the IPO it's clear that most of the value was a money laundering scheme for the Saudis.

where I live, some restaurant's don't use cars, they use remote controlled robots. They are also extremely cute.

Everyone I knew ran Linux in the late 90's, I chose to run FreeBSD. I guarantee you Linux was very influential. Solaris was its only real competitor after a while, and Sun went all Java and screwed up its OS.

Why not just start a DAO, give the AI to the DAO, then have the DAO only respond to commands from the AI?

the whole field's expanded; the average pay is lower because there is so much janitorial work to be done, but the high end has exploded.
