Robert McNees@annaleen Oh you’re dabbling in Natural Intelligence (NI). Fascinating stuff.
@mcnees it's cutting edge man
Whalecat Studios@annaleen A new premium concierge idea--for a hefty monthly fee, you get unlimited access to actual expert humans for your product support (otherwise you get standard AI chatbot for no additional cost.)
@WhalecatStudios it just might work!
Peter Roopnarine@annaleen let's add science to the mix. It's about way more than devising clever data algorithms. Or maybe I'm just aging.
@peterroopnarine absolutely -- now added. I love to see a scientist with decent pay at a full time job. 🤓
Mycotropic@annaleen @peterroopnarine I would be one of those if I had grants that could cover me at 100% FTE!
Alakest@annaleen Surely there's more to it than that.
I've met people who tell me they work all the time and claim ten, fifty, thousands of times the median pay and they don't seem to create much other than poop and chaos.

<give rich jerk a *gentle* shake>
Hey!
<speaks to rich jerk>
Any ideas? What's going wrong?
<notices inattentive rich jerk engage in typical behavior>
HEY! Stop messing with other people!
Ruthanne@annaleen (shocked gasp)
Gingerale@annaleen 404 system concept of decent pay not found in german academia
Red Rabbit@annaleen @MilennialZero unless full time means a maximum of 3 days a week, no!

HTTP 1.1/418 Teapot@annaleen Brilliant! I hope it catches on!
Sozialwelten@annaleen I don't want to be used.

Michael Gartenberg@annaleen yeah, but I can't pass that work off as my own and sell it for fin and profit.
Datarainbow Privacy Assistant✅@annaleen your theory lack one pre-requisite: education and skills.
localzuk@annaleen that'll never take off... not enough exploitation for the ruling classes
@annaleen not lack of trying more lack of opportunity. Thanks 3rd world country 🙂
splicer@annaleen I don't know. The UI for human beings are inconsistent and have a challenging learning curves. Then there are all the competing standards and languages.
Oblomov@annaleen that'll never work,, it's not cost effective. Have you ever seen design, art or anything created by humans?
Obviously it won't fly. Now shut up and go back to creating stuff for my new amazingly large language model to steal from you, for free.

Ben Crowell@annaleen We need to develop something like that, but also with a feature where you can ask it how it decided to give the output it gave, and it'll explain.
And -- maybe this is asking too much -- it could be built with an ethics feature, so that if it was asked to do something harmful, it would refuse.
