So anyone playing Starfield? Is the space exploration bit really pretend and only functional with fast travel?

I made a wonton soup today that was ****ing amazing. Couple of pork wontons, chicken broth powder from the asian grocer, 4 cups of water, bit of ginger and garlic, some soy sauce and chinese cooking wine.

Add some singapore noodles, bok choy, bean sprouts, shallots, shredded carrot. ****ing taaaassstyyyyy, took all of five minutes.

Yeah it isn’t really feasible to fly manually from one planet to another - would take ages from what I read, so I’m just using fast travel to do it.

I've read between ages, and the mechanics just do not exist.

Was always gonna happen.

The idea of machines replacing menial labour, etc, was always nonsense. They'll do what they can but reality is software is much easier to make than hardware. Need to move? Use hands, feet? A person will have the advantage for quite a while longer.

Who does menial labour these days? Most of those jobs are gone or significantly reduced due to assembly lines as feel'er:up said.

Skilled labour is a different kettle of fish, you can't exactly get a robot to build you a house, although who knows where 3D printing will end up.

Bullshit Jobs - Wikipedia

Society has invented a bunch of horse shit, soul destroying iobs because that's what the capitalist machine demands. Work for 45 years, 5 days a week and achieve nothing except drudgery.

Technological advances should have us working less, not more. We're "wealthier" than ever yet all the money is at the top. Reject modern society, live in a van down by the river and eat the food Woolies throws in the garbage every day.

It wasn't me who said anything but I've got a couple of cheap things from there, great value cheap shit

AI can't, and won't (for a long time) do a lot of things that require more than basic research and logic solving.

It will be a really useful tool for the moderately intelligent, my workplace has implemented some AI based resources that aren't at risk of booting staff, just enhancing their current roles

This is where we are at as well. It's been pretty useful for say, analysing code for potential errors. Or quickly mocking up a basic template for something you can fill in the gaps with.

I don't want to sit at home getting fat... I like going to work kinda..

Yeah it's really cool and going to be amazing resource in the next few years

They wrote something that will read requests for quotes and then it will set the scope of works and source the appropriate staff across the entire company and setup the framework for the bid

Saves hours of work

Really cool

Unless you're involved in creative and arts scenes, where your livelihood, of creating things and having skills to bring imagination to life, is under threat. Creating art, something that made us human, under threat from computers.

But, two thumbs up if you work in an office or on said computer

Time to go Janus and stick in a quote from an old but mainstream movie

DR OKUN: Since these guys started showing up, all the little gizmos inside turned on. The last twenty-four hours have been really exciting!

PRESIDENT WHITMORE: Exciting? People are dying out there. I don't think "exciting" is the word I'd choose to describe it.

Yeah I haven’t fully tested it myself. Tried flying to another planet for a few minutes and wasn’t really getting anywhere, so went the fast travel option.

Calm down, you are an extra in stuff no one has even heard of. Are you getting mad at CGI replacing extras?

There's more people than me in the world and too many of them stand to lose.

Are you unaware there's more people in the world?

Yea its the complete opposite. Ai could replace plenty of office jobs but is a long way off being good enough to replace visual/creative work. Its not like Midjourney spits out a photoshop file with dozens of layers. You just get a shitty rendered image with all the mistakes.

It really isn't

 

[all seeing eye]

AI is growing exponentially and we are only in its infancy. Even those in the field are not sure what it will evolve into, next gen chatgpt is already in dev, this will offer up the promise of everyones personalised all knowing personal assistant who knows you intimately by learning from your behaviours.
As for menial tasks still been performed by humans, it gets down to cost, labour in China is dirt cheap and disposable , robots remain relatively expensive.

Body once told me
The world is gonna roll me

The world seems a little less innocent now the smash mouth dude ain't part of it anymore

And I guess I'll never find out if he ended up sparing that bloke some change, or he totally got lost in his train of thought
