As far as I know, that has only failed when we allow corporations to take our money and resources without our input. That's exactly what this proposal is meant to address.

My area supposedly does the same thing. I've always wondered how they figure out who the trash belongs to.

Where's the problem? If they use more environmentally friendly packaging, then they get more profits. There's no incentive to use anything else.

Not just the mental strain of syntax, but also variable naming, which I find to be a much bigger hurdle. Copilot will nearly always give you a "good enough" name so you can just move on to solve the actual problem. You can always come back to rename it if necessary.

Very fair, which is why we should be critical of those who make the opposite claim and use that as justification for their hatred of AI.

So what are these sentient dots? I keep seeing them everywhere, but no one else around me does. This is the first time I've seen anyone else acknowledge their existence.

If anything, an apology feels more appropriate.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a stationary bike generator at home to help charge a proper EV car than to have it built into the vehicle? That way, you have one device that you can mass produce and that will be useful for everyone, including those who don't need a vehicle of their own.

The first half of your comment made sense in isolation. The second half also made sense in isolation. It was the whole thing put together that didn't make sense.

there are traits exhibited by conscious entities which we don’t observe in those which lack consciousness.

Implying we have a way of determining whether an entity is conscious or not. That's the entire point of contention here.

On the topic of knives, it's more important to have a way to keep them sharp. No knife will stay sharp for long with consistent use.

That's pretty cool. It does feel easier to read, but I can't tell if that's placebo or a real effect.
