Yeah sheez. You know what you can’t pause? The flow of customers into the drive through. Internet influencers work on their own clock.

Let’s get an article about fast food worker burnout please.

I’m pretty sure an AI could throw out a lazy straw man and ad hominem as quickly as you did.

Yes of course edge and corner cases are going to take much longer to train on because they don’t occur as often. But as soon as one self-driving car learns how to handle one of them, they ALL know. Meanwhile humans continue to be born and must be trained up individually and they continue to make stupid mistakes like not using their signal and checking their mirrors.

Humans CAN handle cases that AI doesn’t know how to, yet, but humans often fail in inclement weather, around construction, etc etc.

Yep we are on the same page. At our best, we can reach higher than regurgitating patterns. I’m talking about things like the scientific method and everything we’ve learned by it. But still, that’s a 5% minority, at best, of what’s going on between human ears.

It doesn’t take the entirety of the internet just for an LLM to respond in English. It could do so with far less. But it also has the entirety of the internet which arguably makes it superior to a human in breadth of information.

My thing is that I don’t think most humans are much more than this. We too regurgitate what we have absorbed in the past. Our brains are not hard logic engines but “best guess” boxes and they base those guesses on past experience and probability of success. We make choices before we are aware of them and then apply rationalizations after the fact to back them up - is that true “reasoning?”

It’s similar to the debate about self driving cars. Are they perfectly safe? No, but have you seen human drivers???

Yeah, considering what garbage tends to top the trending charts at YT, I think a blank page is better than if they just show the most popular videos of the day.

You could begin with “summary:”

Your comment reads more like a rebuttal than a summary. If you intend to summarize the article for lazy lemmings, that’s cool, but present it as such.

The article already says everything you said. It’s not a “solution” to anything. It’s a small step to show that this is even possible. Perhaps it will help some people whose condition makes them extraordinarily sensitive.

I swear people will find a way to shit on virtually anything and turn absolutely everything into class war.

If it stars out enshittified then you never had anything to enshittify, just plain shit.

Your comment was unintelligible, sorry. I can hear you whining now, very clearly, and trying to insult me personally. So I guess you can communicate successfully when you try.

Yeah you cut off half of what I said and then argued with a different statement

Not that shocking. Hell, there are millions of Americans who would kill just to work indoors. Office work is the envy of every farm and trade worker with aching feet and knees and various injuries they have to nurse while they labor. Working at home??? It’s absolute luxury.

No it fucking ain’t.

Well, that settles it. Who can argue with this kind of airtight logic?

Your post is unnecessarily hostile and offers nothing, son. I’ve worked at the same place for 8 years now, probably longer than you’ve been out of diapers, and yes, working alongside people does form a bond. If you’ve ever had to cooperate with someone, trust someone, get through difficulties with someone, you’d know all this. But from the way you enjoy flinging obscenities at strangers I doubt you have much experience forming bonds with people, period.

Oh, you’re one of those fucking extroverts.

And here’s the part where I just laugh in your face.

Try reformulating your question in English and I’ll see if I can answer you.

I’m a dad and I do. Our anecdotal stories have been registered!

No one said “sole.” It’s about a sense of community between you and your coworkers, which is a very real and normal thing. It’s spelled out in the article very clearly:

losing that sense of workplace community had a greater impact on childless men

“Workplace community.”

I’m a dad working remote and I love the benefits but I ALSO miss the sense of community with my coworkers which I used to get from lunches together, sharing the train ride home, or just working side by side at our desks.

I agree with everything you said. I’ll just add that the scientific method is not how we set policy in general, though perhaps it should be.

I guess I’m a humanities guy so when someone writes about patterns of human behavior that could be survival adaptation, I think “hm that’s interesting, I’ll think more about it.”

I don’t think: but this theory can’t produce testable predictions!

It just seems like an anthropological concept, not a scientific theory we can write an equation for. But eh.
