No one wants mass subscriptions. “Gamers” is a red herring.

That’s fair, but also moot while there are non electric cars available for less than 30k. Hopefully in time they can get the cost down.

I think the point is that they should be accessible to people without “luxury” budgets.

I refuse to pay 30k plus for a car that I only need to get me from point a to b. Not everyone is a car fanatic.

Pricing is very much the problem if they want wider adoption.

Every day New Yorkers and Americans lost millions, including their entire lifesavings.

Look, I hope these people get their money back cause this sounds messed up, but maybe also don’t invest money that you can’t afford to lose. ESPECIALLY when it comes to crypto.

Their terms of service have to be compliant with local laws though. You can’t just put whatever you want in there and expect it to stand up in court.

In this context I’d imagine you meant what the technology could evolve into. But what I’m saying is the technology is fundamentally incapable of being intelligent.

I imagine you think of “the technology” as just artificial intelligence in general. I’m talking about the actual technology in todays “ai”. The inner workings.

But that’s plain fantasy at this point. The current form of AI is fundamentally not intelligent. Advancement of the current form of AI won’t change that.

The current form of AI is like the speech center of your brain. On its own it does not constitute a brain, nor will it ever “evolve” to be its own brain.

So the current form of AI may end up forming a small part of the whole, but that whole is as of yet still a fantasy.

I’m not dismissing its usefulness for those scenario’s (see my response to Veltoss below). But people tend to way over-estimate what it is capable of.

Generating an office layout? Yeah absolutely, because that’s largely based on prior art, no real innovation required. Though as you noted you’ll almost certainly need to “steer” the AI because there’s so many variables and permutations that it cannot realistically come up with a perfect solution without real intelligence. It’ll require iteration from “someone” no matter how advanced it gets.

But AI as it exists right now won’t replace let’s say your office manager, who would probably be given the responsibility of planning the office layout. Because their job entails making lots of intelligence based judgment calls. That said; given they will get more AI powered tools to do their job there may be fewer jobs available overall because now your office manager at some big office won’t need an assistant anymore.

Note I am not saying that AI affecting our economy isn’t happening or won’t happen. I’m merely saying that any predictions people are making should be met with a heavy amount of doubt, because there is so much misunderstanding out there.

For me personally it’s not that I want to downplay it, it’s that I want to balance the scales. I see far more over-estimating of AI happening than downplaying.

The current form of AI is great as a tool and sadly there are definitely jobs out there that are nearly completely replaced by this tool. But that scope isn’t about to change much based on where we are currently at. Many jobs require actual intelligence to make judgment calls, and the current form of AI just isn’t going to cut it here as it has no real intelligence.

Of course, that won’t stop dumb business leaders from still trying to use AI here, but that’s an error in judgment that imo will correct itself over time.

Heavy doubt on this one.

There is still so much misunderstanding on the state of AI and its potential based on current technology (spoiler: reduce your expectations significantly). How can you expect anyone to make predictions with such misunderstanding.

That said it kinda seems like a financial crash is already happening, regardless of AI.

On another note, we’ve noticed the concerns raised about Cities: Skylines II performance

Cities: Skylines II is a next-gen title, and naturally, it demands certain hardware requirements

In light of this, we still think for the long-term of the project, releasing now is the best way forward

You do the math.

This is literally us telling you to join and you’re calling people dumbass. Please have some perspective.

Edit: I just saw your edit to your original post. Consider this my last response. Very childish.

They are still your peers when it comes to the battle of workers vs employers. Sure, put it in a different context and it may sound wrong.

This just plain isn’t true for the vast majority of engineers. And exceptions occur in any industry. Focus your anger on billionaires and companies rather than your peers.

Can I use group finder?

Then no thank you.

Kinda funny how they screwed it up for both the online and offline use case.
