  • If “hackers” find out I was looking up stroganoff recipes on a site I’m not signed into, I think I’ll find a way to cope with the intrusion.

    If your ISP can track your web traffic Google's position is weaker

  • It used to be open, then they looked the entire research community in the eyes, flipped them the bird, and burned not only their good will, but a huge portion of actually open AI research and development.

    Remember they promised it was because of safety when they didn't release gpt3 to the public. They're full of shit and safety means only corporate control.

  • We're talking about the cost a human being sitting around selling tickets to people. You can value that service all day long, but if the human being is wasting their life doing something a machine could do you're literally wasting human life.

    If a job can be killed. Replace it. This isn't about money, money is a proxy for what actually matters. Time and resources.

    Human potential far surpasses selling you tickets, and any human potential wasted in this way is a tragedy.

  • was only open for 12 hours a day

    That's still plenty of time. "It won't save much compared to...." Is almost always a bad argument. Savings are savings and labor is expensive.

    The ticket machines not being up to the task is a reasonable argument though. I can't comment on that.

  • Getting rid of a relatively small number of the worst paid staff on the railway will

    Still save a significant chunk of money because people are still very expensive and ticket staff work 24/7.

    certainly not £5 per ticket’s worth, and the very small overall savings will not get passed on to the customers anyway.

    They almost certainly will be in one form or another. Even if the railroad keeps every dime the extra productivity in the economy you get from people not working as ticket staff will lead to improvements across the board.

  • It's a valid argument regardless of the base price.

    Machines are generally cheaper than people. People like saving money more than they like talking to people. If given the choice they will almost always choose the machine, when they have to pay the price.

  • Even the scenario you lay out is “be tolerant and accept other religions” and create a society where rationality and decency are valued. That’s actually being friendly and inclusive, not pretending

    And those values will in time annihilate religion. Islam and Christianity are nasty expansionist cultural viruses that rely on social force to keep their roots and spread their lies.

    Integrating into Islam and spreading tolerance kills Islam.
