Think of all the future effort it’ll save, though.

Depending on your child’s age and your bond you could also simply get rid of the child.

Yeah. I consider Trump the “blow everything up” candidate, he got a lot of support from people who were just so generically desperate that they wanted to vote for whoever seemed like they were going to majorly change something, somehow. It almost didn’t matter what Trump did as long as he smashed the existing order while doing it.

Now make the exact same meme but substitute “AI training” for “piracy” and watch the downvotes flow in.

Have those AI friends play matchmaker between their human companions, solves both problems.

There’s a famous literary analysis essay about this, The Death of the Author, that argues for the latter. I happen to strongly believe this view.

I decide what a work of fiction means to me, and since it’s a work of fiction there is no “higher” meaning than that. Other people can of course present their ideas about what it means, and if I like those ideas I’ll adopt them into my own thoughts on the matter. The creator can be one of those “other people” but he gets no special role in the argument; he has to make his case just like anyone else and I feel free to say “no, that’s dumb. I think it means something else.”

Their name was Fire.

Similar situation to some of the other early inventors.

Or newer ones either, apparently. Every single review lies within that December to February timeframe.

I went over to an Amazon listing for this same kind of trap and the average of 786 reviews is 4.4 stars out of 5. There’s much more variety in the 1-star reviews over there, too.

That’s very weird, frankly. 75 reviews and every single one of them with 1 star says the same thing? And all of them within the period of Dec 2024-Feb 2025? Not to mention I’ve been using these for years myself and have never seen a mouse survive, the kill arm smashes hard and the trigger is very sensitive. I get the suspicion that one person had a bad experience and spent a few months review-bombing.

I occasionally deal with a mouse or two in my house, and I much prefer these kinds of traps. They’re slightly more expensive, but you don’t need many and they’re reusable so that doesn’t really matter much. The advantages are:

• Super easy to set, just pull the jaw open by the little handle and it clicks in place. No need to touch the dead mouse, it plops right out into a garbage can.
• I’ve never had mice successfully steal the bait, the cover forces them to put their heads in exactly the right place for the kill bar to come down on them.
• This also means that I’ve never seen a mouse fail to get instantly and painlessly killed.

The best places to put mousetraps are often dark and hard to see, and the bright red kill bar makes it easy to tell at a glance whether it’s triggered.

And the other mice will clean it up too.

Is it cheating to say AI and humanoid robots?

Anti-aging tech, if so.

There are already gaps between the boards. You think the neighbour is a peeper who is unsatisfied with the view between the boards and so has installed a great big obvious “I’m peeping!” Hatch?

I’m on both. I like the sense of freedom here, I can say something like “Putin should be shot” without getting [ Removed by Reddit ]. But I also like the large population and set of existing communities over on Reddit.

I was cutting a cardboard box up with a box cutter, holding the box steady with my off hand while pushing the blade downward through the cardboard. I realized that my hand was below the blade and therefore there was a risk I’d cut myself if the blade suddenly moved more quickly through the cardboard than anticipated. Safety first! So I stopped cutting, leaving the blade in the cardboard, and lifted my hand to grip the cardboard above where I was cutting instead.

Slammed my thumb right into the blade as I moved my hand, peeling a nasty slice of skin off. Took a lot of stitches to tack it back in place, still have a scar from that.

Humans are generally notoriously bad at that kind of thing

Have you met humans? Many of them base their entire career on this skill.

I just wont do you the favor to post any of them

Why comment in the first place if you’re unwilling to back it up?

This is a public forum, you’re not just answering me here.

…which you can’t or won’t do, apparently.

However, a human would also need to verify that the generated solution actually solves a problem.

That’s already an issue with human-generated answers to problems. :)

“Verification” could be done by an AI agent too, though, as I described above. Depends on the sort of problem. A programming solution can be tested in a simple sandbox, a medical solution would require a bit more effort to validate (whether by human or by AI).

I just don’t think current LLMs are quite smart enough yet.

Certainly, we’re both speculating about future developments here.
