I wonder at what point government will tax AI use by companies similarly to payroll taxes and incomes taxes.
If they pay an AI company $150,000 a month to replace $50,000 in salaries, the government then loses all that income tax from the previous employees as well as the payroll tax on $600k a year.
At least with human labour companies have control. They withhold raises and bat down wages and the people tend to have to take it.
With AI you get suckered in and all of a sudden have a subscription or something similar. Then next year the costs go up. You’ve already tailored your workflow to use AI, you can’t just not pay the higher bill. Next year, costs go up again. What are you going to do? Not pay your bill and lose your entire workforce all at once? Now the company is being held hostage by the AI companies.
Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can’t interact with.
It’s also a survival craft so you build your base.
It’s a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.
Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.
Still early access though so could be improved
That seems like a giant waste of battery/fuel.
People are addicted to it and see the aspartame water with no sugar and no calories and feel they can drink as much as they want guilt free.
Why? Is it creating construction jobs? Doubt the entire salaries of everyone building it will total anywhere near that amount.
Jobs after? What, like a dozen security guards and a couple IT people? Those things practically run themselves from what I understand.
Just pay that money directly to the construction workers and scrap the data centre.
True, I did forget that it might have been useful for me in one very specific instance where there was a comments section in one of our excel forms and I wanted to summarize the most common words mentioned in those comments. Couldn’t figure out how at the time but this could potentially have figured it out. Not sure I would trust the accuracy of it’s result though
I wonder if it would be suitable to adjust people’s grades each year on their final exam.
For example instead of having assignments worth 25%, attendance 10%, quizzes 20%, midterm 20%, and final 25%
Have it as assignments 75% and attendance as 25%
Then adjust all of that for by midterm and finals
Get 100% on your assignments due to chatgpt and show up to class every time despite not paying attention, if you get 50% on your quizzes, midterm, and final you get 50% overall, not 67.5%
… You aren’t supposed to use it for math… In excel? What is the point?
How is this easier than just typing in sum(a1:a3)??
I find the shift in black and Hispanic responses interesting as well. They were higher than white people before and now lower.
Well, yes it wouldn’t heat it a “little bit” at the source but once added back into the system the average increase would probably be a “little bit”.
I just bought a house which has a pump and water line for garden hoses and irrigation
I have no idea where the water is coming from
The house has a well, but the irrigation system is completely separate and has a pipe running somewhere that I have no idea about.
Honestly question though …
Does a data centre actually pollute or dirty the water when used to cool it’s stuff?
Could it not just take the water, run it through the system, heat the water a little bit to cool the stuff it needs, then run the water back into the city lines which might even save people a few cents on the water heating bills?
I mean, if it creates a bit of competition with tim Hortons I wouldn’t complain. Maybe they might be forced to actually go back to freshly baked doughnuts and proper coffee
I’m like one of the youngest millenials… Still a long way to go thank you very much!
I thought Trudeau changed the law so even safety related maintenance delays need to be compensated, which were immune before 2022 or 2023 or something?
Of course I’m aware, that’s why I asked if there was a particular reason everyone was freaking out
Is it a particularly bad unique mutation then?

If anything the temporary foreign worker program is itself racist as it is basically slave labour. Paying low wages and then they are tied to the job if they want to stay.
