I think that the general idea of artificial intelligence in education hold some promise, in the sense that if you could construct a machine that can do much of the work of a teacher, it should enable kids to be taught in an individual way currently only possible for those rich enough to afford a private tutor, and such a machine would be labeled as an AI of some kind. The trouble is, like with so many other things AI, that our AI technology just doesn’t seem to be up to the task, and probably just won’t be without some new approach. We have AI just smart enough for people to try to do all the things that one could use an AI for, but not smart enough for the AI to actually do the job well.

It’s a valid concern, but considering that quite a few rockets, to include some currently in use, can contain quite large amounts of some truly nasty chemicals already, and apparently can be made acceptably safe despite this, I’d bet that it’s probably possible to manage that risk or find flight paths that minimize exposure in the case of an accident. For that matter, we’ve launched radioactive materials into space before, some space probes use decay heat for a power source.

Nuclear rocket engines. A bit less ambitious than most of the responses, but most things here seem to either refer to technologies we don’t have yet but seem within a century or so of developing, which doesn’t fit the question, or vague consequences that one wants that tech to have without it being clear how our current technology gets there. But nuclear rockets definitely fit the question, because we have built and ground tested them before, decades ago even, we just haven’t bothered to actually use the things. And they should theoretically make developing things like space industry or manned space exploration beyond the moon more viable, by being more efficient than chemical rockets while giving better thrust than ion engines do. They don’t work well for launching from the ground, but since our launch abilities have increased a fair bit in the past decade or so, actually getting the things to space in order to use them should be easier than ever.

That’s called geoengineering generally

Here’s a wiki article about the topic, because it would be a bit much to list it all out in a lemmy comment:

The TLDR is though that its existed since before the country even became independent.

That, and the way that the text boxes have a sort of old yellowing newspaper tint to them instead of just being white. Not sure why AI does that, I’ve not really used it but it feels like back when it couldn’t do text very well, AI stuff people posted at least didn’t have the sort of washed out sepia colors it does now whenever someone asks it for a cartoon art style.

Assuming that is that they merely remove themselves from the list and leave whatever dems are on in. If theyre willing to edit the thing to remove themselves however, can they be trusted to not add people they particularly dont like, or remove any dems on the list that they are concerned might out the rest of the list if prosecuted?

60 cents? You may have confused “billion” for “million” somewhere, unless I’m misunderstanding you, in which case we’d be talking closer to $600

Tbf one if the use cases for display technologies with high pixel density is vr headsets.

flip him upside down?

That’d get real embarrassing if that bread is supposed to later go through a slicing machine.

Anecdotally, I was diagnosed with both as a kid, though I suppose everyone presents differently and not everyone is even tested for such at that age.

The only thing holding me back from having way too many deviled eggs, is being too lazy and impatient to prepare all the deviled eggs Id want.

To be fair, neither of those deaths were “natural causes” as it were.

I dont know the economic stats on what percentage of companies have unions, but theyre not exactly non-existent, I know people that work unionized jobs, a place I used to work for had one (not that I saw it do much, but I wasnt there that long), and the business I work for has them for some of the countries it operates in (mainly ones in Europe I think). They might not exactly be the norm in the US right now, but they’re not some fantasy either. And I would imagine most companies with one have the resources to deploy something like this if they have a use case where it would actually make any sense to. Maybe not train a leading AI model from scratch given the expense numbers I keep seeing reported on that, but that doesnt sound like what this kind of application requires.

I know that. My point wasn’t that automation will make companies behave differently, but that the maximum demand that can be forced upon a business by things like unions is increased if the pool of money they can demand from before the business can’t operate anymore is larger. What I said is applicable for economic systems beyond capitalism, for that matter, since it’s just a more specific way of saying that the average person can theoretically have more things when the average number of things made per person increases.

You misunderstand my point then. There are ways to force a corporation to pay people more (unionization, minimum wage laws, sufficiently bad labor shortages etc). There is a maximum amount of wage that these things can extract out of a company, because if the labor costs grow enough to make a business unprofitable and they’re unable to either raise prices or cut things enough to compensate, then that business will shut down instead. Increasing the amount of revenue per employee raises this theoretical ceiling on what can be paid. The method to actually get them to pay that wage is beyond the scope of my point, just that whatever method one might prefer has a higher maximum on what it can get when productivity is higher.

Literally how. I brought up that a corportation wont just pay people more just because more money per person is available, and it isnt exactly a novel concept that a given amount of money split fewer ways results in a higher number after the split.

There are traditional foods for labor day? I legit just thought the labor day tradition was “not working” lol.

If anything, having fewer employees to produce a given amount of revenue theoretically allows for the employees that remain to be paid a better wage. Not saying that they will be, since, you know, corporation, but any pressure that can later be placed on them to raise wages will go further if the available revenue per employee is higher.
