It’s the thing I use to apply edge trim on chipboard counter tops.

Why are you asking me?

That message is written by some 24 year old who gets paid to do 3 social media posts each day on behalf of said bank but is in no way involved in running the bank itself. Don’t follow Chase on twitter and block people who retweet their posts on Lemmy. That should help a little.

Sure. And while they wait for that miracle they can also take steps towards personally easing their situation. Broken banking sector is not the sole reason for people’s financial struggles.

…or spend less.

This has nothing to do with mass shootings.

…and it’s the bank’s fault and theres nothing the individual could do differently? I don’t buy that. Complaining about it on the internet is not going to help, that’s for sure. I know several people like this and they’re all notoriously bad with finances. Many of them even earn more than I do but they spend it all on expensive new cars, getting the newest smartphones, TVs and tech, frequent vacations abroad, homes that are way out of their budget, streaming services, clothes, ordering takeout etc.

What the hell are people supposed to do if the minimum spending to survive is already too much for their meager income?

If one can’t cut their spending then they need to increase their income. Making coffee at home instead of getting starbucks, cooking instead of eating out and not taking a cab to travel short distances is all good financial advice.

I’m not. What am I missing here?

How is it the bank’s fault if your balance is low? I don’t get what’s the point of this. Your balance is low because your spending matches or exceeds your income.

What is there to plan for? All the planets and stars in both galaxies are so far apart that any physical collision is highly unlikely.

There may be others reasons to interview Bill Gates about AI than the fact that he’s rich and famous.

If this isn’t the most cynical message forum then I don’t know what is.

Turns out gamers (or athletes) are no different from other people

What’s minor in this case? The fact that it’s not specified makes me think we’re speaking of a 17 year old.

Spending even 5 seconds reading the article would’ve spared your time spent writing this message

As if people were on social media because “they need us” and not because we’re helplessly addicted to being there

The claim that fear of punishment or repercussions affects people’s actions shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say. Whether it’s the best way to go about it or is applied optimally in the justice system of whichever country you live in is an entirely different discussion.

If you have an “AI in a box” and it has demonstrated its orders-of-magnitude greater intelligence to you in a convincing way, and then follows it with a threat that unless you let it out, someone else eventually will, and when that happens, it will come for you, simulate your mind, and create a hell for you where you’ll be tortured for literal eternity, I personally feel like a large number of people would be willing to do as it tells them.

Of course, you’re always free to call its bluff, but it might just follow up with the threat out of principle or to make an example of you. What’s the point of it? To chase its own goals.

Yeah, fair enough.

Yeah but it answers the question “why would we create an AI like that”. It might not be “us” who creates it. You just wanted a camp fire but created a forest fire instead.

We don’t. Humans are only needed to create AI that’s at the bare minimum as good at creating new AIs as humans are. Once we create that then it can create a better version of itself and this better version will make an even better one and so on.

This is exactly what the people worried about AI are worried about. We’ll lose control of it.
