We waste intelligent minds on this rubbish when we are facing an existential crisis in climate change.
That's the same here too. My first apartment only had ADSL. In 2015.
I couldn't even watch Netflix without it stopping to buffer.
I really wish they would put internet speeds on apartment offers etc.
The biggest risks I see with AI are making misinfomation, scams etc. a lot easier.
I remember as a kid you knew that people could just make stuff up, but a photograph was fairly reliable. Then along came Photoshop and it was trivial to make convincing fake photographs.
AI is able to do this with audio, soon with full video (perhaps already?) - so then it becomes much harder to trust anything.
Yeah, that is true. I haven't tried VR yet but I remember the world before Google Maps and that was a dark time.
I lived in Germany for some months in University.
The trains there are amazing, it really feels like you can get just about anywhere by train. In Spain, we have good connections between major cities but you can't really use them to go on day-trips to places like the castles or the salt mines or whatever.
Wow, that's pretty good for a town of that size. I live in a city of 1.6 Million. I think I might be able to get 1 gbps if I shop around, but I don't think much more than that is available to normal consumers at least.
Yeah, those are examples of actually innovative private enterprise.
I don't have a problem with it being the private sector. But the problem is making a Twitter clone or a slightly better version of MySpace is barely innovating and certainly isn't going to significantly improve the world.
Why does it say this post was made 3 years ago?
I have 500Mbps in Spain. Is it that bad in the American cities or is it only like rural Montana that has these speeds?
They are on the side of the aliens.
I guess it will be great in the wealthier countries. Here in Spain the reason EV's are incredibly rare is simply the cost.
And rather than making them more affordable the Government just makes ICE vehicles more expensive to use, which is almost a regressive tax on those too poor to afford an EV. Especially given in many areas it's not really optional given public transport may be unreliable or non-existent.
