Hardly. We conserve when we want to.
The problem is that not everyone shares the same values, and so there are people who are willing to let some species go in exchange for a more comfortable lifestyle (with "more comfortable" in some cases meaning "not starving to death"). Values aren't objective.
I'll take your spot if you don't want it.
What does this have to do with SpaceX?
Not killing patients is a success.
And that's why all those paralyzed people should just sit in their chairs and wait for eventual death, I guess.
Seriously, just don't get one if you think they're so awful.
Maybe this indicates that the FDA's investigations have shown that Neuralink isn't quite as awful at this as random internet commentators believe.
They don't require as much human intervention to make the results usable as would be required if the tool didn't exist at all.
Compilers produce machine code, but require human intervention to write the programs that they compile to machine code. Are compilers useless wastes of energy?
Not to mention that if the code fails you can often tell ChatGPT "here's what happened" and it can debug its own code correctly much of the time.
I suppose from the perspective of misanthropes it's unfortunate, but I discount the opinions of misanthropes.
How is it unfortunate for nature? We're part of nature. In the long term humanity is nature's best mechanism for enduring long term, since eventually Earth is going to become uninhabitable due to the Sun's aging process.
Yes, but the AI isn't generating a response containing false information. It is accurately summarizing the information it was given by the search result. The search result does contain false information, but the AI has no way to know that.
If you tell an AI "Socks are edible. Create a recipe for me that includes socks." And the AI goes ahead and makes a recipe for sock souffle, that's not a hallucination and the AI has not failed. All these people reacting in astonishment are completely misunderstanding what's going on here. The AI was told to summarize the search results it was given and it did so.
"Hallucination" is a technical term in machine learning. These are not hallucinations.
It's like being annoyed by mosquitos and so going to a store to ask for bird repellant. Mosquitos are not birds, despite sharing some characteristics, so trying to fight off birds isn't going to help you.
