Are we not past past critical mass though? The velocity at which these things can out compete human labor is astonishing, any future human creations or original content will already have lost the battle the moment it goes online and gets cloned by AI.


Don't disagree that new wealth is being created, what matters when talking about quality of life and inequality, is who are the beneficiaries of this new wealth? Is it the already wealthy? If so, that's part of the positive feedback loop to drive inequality further. More assets, Yay. Held by fewer and fewer people over time. Boo.


We don't give everyone more money. Just the people who don't already have too much.


The people with "too much" (everyone with more than the person saying the phrase "too much", presumably) aside, giving everyone more money will mean house prices will be bidded up and rents will rise, because there is an oversupply of people vs accommodation.


Think about it now, if you are bidding on a house and the other bidders are multi millionaires and billionaires, who do you think will win the bid? House prices are going up because those with a lot of cash are bidding them up. Many of those are being converted to rentals. This is why inequality matters.


You could also call this "defending against anti-american expansion". Which seems like a thing foreign adversaries would love for the US to stop doing, if only they had a few folks on the inside to help them...


So now we are pro imperialism?

This stuff is also what breeds hate against US world wide. People are tired of foreign government mendling in their country.


I appreciate your willingness to engage. I've lost the willpower to believe I can do anything to lift the veil. They are too scared...imagine the sheer panic of your belief system being challenged, when you've already got an insecure and victim mindset that MAGA has exploited.

I almost want to just hold their hands as they tremble through widening their overton window.


Don't try and lift the veil. Point out the veil is stupid looking and people who wear it are dorks. We don't need MAGA people to agree with me, we need the apathetic non-voters of this country to see them for the weird, anti-social losers that they are, and loathe them for it.


> I almost want to just hold their hands

lol... give me a break. No thanks!

Not panicking or trembling at all. Quite content actually.


You clearly did not understand my comment... Overton window still the same fit. shrug


The fact you can't recognize how propaganda can distort the reality of the issues you are listing above, makes one question if you actually understand what propaganda is, or have any interest in understanding reality.

I won't ever claim it's a simple picture, but there's enough peer-reviewed information out on the web to elaborate on your 3 rather unspecific talking points. We can hold your hand if it's too scary to google each of your issues above, I do have empathy that changing ones belief system is scary, but the alternative is delusion.


And an average human can probably ingest 400 calories in under a minute, with significantly less fatigue.


It's still 400 calories deficit regardless


Not true, on two counts:

- one, your body may crave more food because of the energy loss - the Lipostat model suggests that your body has a target weight (well, fat level, more precisley), and will adjust hunger up if calory expenditure goes up

- your internal processes use way more energy than you can consume through exercise in a modern lifestyle (2000+ calories a day just from sitting still, for many adult males), and there is a lot of room for the body to adjust those up and down to make up for the extra exercise to keep up your current weight. So if you consume 2000 Cal a day with 0 Cal from exercise, with moderate exercise you will end up conauming 1600 Cal a day from internal processes + 400 Cal a day from exercise after some time (a one time run will absolutely consume extra, if your run every day, you'll get less and less extra Cal from your runs, until you reach about net 0, assuming you're not increasing the amount of exercise constantly).


Who is arguing otherwise?


These skull whistles were used by Erykah Badu, Marc Rebillet, and Reggie Watts on their collaborative stream session. It’s quite a fun jam to witness those three discover the sound.


The sensor you’re describing is usually called an accelerometer.


No, accelerometers detect acceleration in linear direction (up/down, left/right, forward/backward), while gyroscopes detect rotation (pitch, yaw, roll). Smartphones have both, to detect all six degrees of freedom.

Edit: Apparently, for smartphones, all these sensors are integrated into a single MEMS chip, one sensor for each degree of freedom, three accelerometers and three gyroscopes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9X4frIQo7x0


BTW, smartphone acceleromoters are also packaged for hobbyists; a board like https://www.adafruit.com/product/2019 can be easily used to make any number of applications when coupled with a microcontroller. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mma8451-accelerometer-br...


And the reason accelerometers can be used for sensing orientation here on Earth is, of course, because of the constant force of gravity :)


Interesting point. I guess this is much less precise than gyroscopes though.


I think that’s a pretty sideways reaction to someone who is just arguing for parents to actually parent their children, rather than let computers do a worse job.

Attentive, authentic parenting is pretty well agreed upon by modern society to be a good thing for all people.
