You’re going to hear it a lot more than you used to. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

The robotic work is mostly being done off site. They are prefabbing more and sections off site and hauling them to install on site. My nephew works for a builder and has software that pulls off the material lists from the drawings (electronic of course). Manually adds any material that the software can's handle. Orders all the material and coordinates timely delivery to the factory for building wall, roof and floor sections which is done partly by humans and partly by robots. He does this in the summer sitting in our remote cabin via a satellite internet connection 100's of miles from the factory site. The prefab sections are sometimes shipped from Canada down to a build in California or other States. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

It really bothers me hearing people talk about A.I. when they have no idea what it is. Everybody thinks they know what it is but probably only 1% really know. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

The term has been quite dumbed down to mean anything robotic. The President is a fink. |

Well, if you walk into room previously occupied by a robot capable of acting like a human toddler, and can’t decide if the room had a robot or toddler in it for the last half hour, does it matter that much? You could supply a robot with all the supplies and abilities of a toddler, including delivering poop on the floor, playing with toys, spilling cups of water etc., If you want to refer to everything is just a more capable smart phone I’m fine with that. To me, the toddler is already capable of showing more and more abilities of the later stages of human development. Limited intelligence of yesteryear is showing less and less limited intelligence. I’d argue all day, that if you could indeed produce the Mona Lisa painting by artificial means that no one looking at it without advanced tools could know the difference — well, the end result is fine with me once it’s convincing enough. How it gets there doesn’t mean a thing. My opinion though. Maybe not everyone’s. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18770 | In my opinion, the Turing test has been defeated. Now it’s just a contest to see how long a tool can fool people into thinking it may be a person, not if it can. That’s the measurement of advancement. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 30 Posts: 2506 | I'd buy one for a dollar as a collector's piece. I might go up to $10 as a ceiling. This'll be one of the largest scams in our history on Earth. -------------- Poor resale values of EVs threaten adoption, warn some experts APR 4 2024 . . . A recent study showed that the average price of an EV fell 31.8% in the past year compared to just 3.6% for internal combustion engine vehicles. The fast depreciation rate could dissuade car buyers from choosing EVs over combustion engine vehicles. The price war in the new EV market could continue to suppress prices for their used counterparts. . . . https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/05/poor-resale-values-of-evs-are-a-problem-for-the-industry-warn-experts.html --------------- |
