AI is in it's "biplane" stage, just as people in the twenties would have found it hard to comprehend the future of commercialised flight or a man on the moon, people struggle to imagine the future of AI.

AI is the very worse it's going to be today, in the grand scheme of things, it's only going to get better.

Hard disagree.

The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that's a long chance.

I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity.

It'll be no worse than the dot-com burst.

Computer hardware isn't like a cars engine, it doesn't get knackered after a 100,000 miles.

If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there's every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.

I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.

But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.

I see no reason why in twenty years AI won't be as prevalent as "dot-com's" are now.

What happened with the 24th wrapper?

I'm not telling anyone anything, I'm just saying it'd be shame to end up in another echo chamber, despite the knowledge that I know other people are absolutely fine with that idea.

I'd be fine with the downvotes if they were used as you described, but as there is no realistic way to stop people using them as an "I disagree/I don't like that" button which is in reality the way they are mostly used. I think we'd be better without.

I understand your point but that's unfortunately it's the difference between ideal and reality.

The average cost of the NHS per person in the UK is £3,268, not being able to opt out of the cost doesn't make it cheap.

To me it's absolutely a luxury and despite the NHS not being perfect, there's an awfully lot of people around the world that envy the system.

How does oxygen fit the definition of luxury?

Though that's not really the point of your post is it? What you did was read and understand OP correctly but then thought, "won't it be so hilarious if I make a joke and answered with something that you LITERALLY can't live with out, instead of contributing to the discussion!!! Hahaha delightfully devilish!"

That your comment is upvoted is disappointing. It's Reddit tier crap.

I gave up caffeine a few years ago and I was really surprised by how easy it was and how little I missed it.

Maybe it's different for me but caffeine ended up being much more of a habit rather than something I thought I needed.

You bring up an interesting point.

Most people wouldn't consider a cup of tea to be luxurious at all. But if tea was scarce and you only got one cup a year, it would seem absolutely amazing, a special occasion and you'd really savour the experience.

There's definitely something to be said for luxury which is much more about rarity or restriction rather than the experience itself.

Likewise, flushing the toilet and the shit disappears.

Soldiers aren't there for making moral decisions, they're there to follow orders.

Sad but true.

Still better than Reddit, where a divergent opinion is grounds for a permaban.

Not saying that makes it ok though, it still sucks, just a little less.

I often think the place would be better with no downvotes.

If you think a post/comment is good, then upvote. If you think a post/comment is bad, then either get over it and move on or grow a pair and say why.

The freedom of expression means that you have to read/hear/see things that you might not like every now and again, but I'd much rather that than end up in another echo chamber.

I don't think that not wanting enshittification of Cadbury's mean you have a "really cool and deep personality".

It's not about hating popular things, it's about hating shrinkflation. I for one would happily pay a little more rather than have the products I love become so shit that I don't want to buy them anyway, which is the only real power you have as a consumer.

Cream eggs are case in point. Not only are they smaller now, but the ingredients are shitter quality and it shows.

Something tells me that's wishful thinking.

If the US economy tanks, that will have knock on effects around the world. It's by far the world's largest economy and pretty much anyone with any investments at all is going to be invested in the US.

And Trump, whilst very deserving of much of the criticism put forth, will absolutely put America first.
