Tl;dr: 6000 BCE in ancient Iraq. It predates money, so they'd pay in whatever they used the land for.
It's perfectly good for things where you don't need an accurate answer, but just can't be bothered to do yourself. A good question would be like "I'm going on a weekend trip to Paris with my wife. Give me two choices with differently priced options for schedules Friday to Monday with the main attractions.. both options should be less than €500"
It'd take about a weekend to do that research manually with any search engine. AI can deliver it within minutes. So, forget about having it do fool proof explicit programming, in which it would fail. It's force is in doing cumbersome mondane stuff fast.
I think the AI hype will die when it gets enshittified enough.
At first they'll start injecting sponsored results, then it's going to be pay up or watch 3 adds before access, while still showing the product-placed content regardless.
Companies will be offered a "professional subscription" just to use it without the first two ads.
Right now, it's free, because they want people to get addicted to he ease of answers that was previously supplied by search engines.
At no point will they ever generate the content that people are searching for. Googles main mission is to obstruct people from getting that.
Best case, wiith enough competition, AI is just going to be another layer to see through, because previous versions of the internet has been made unusable by advertising.
Hope they are ready.
They young or the fascists? Because the fascists don't look to be in much shape for a proper beating.
Eggs would be really handy right there.
They absolutely do. Some people basically use it instead of Google or whatever. Shopping lists, vacation planning, gift lists, cooking recipes, just about everything.
It's great at it, because it'll bother trawling webpages for all that stuff that you can't be bothered to spend hours doing. The internet is really soo shitified that it's easier to use a computer to do this.
I hate that it is so. It's a complete waste of ressources, but I understand it.
It's a waste of your resources to close popups, set cookie preferences and read five full screens about grandma's farm before getting to the point: "Preheat the oven to 200°c and heat the pizza for 15 minutes.", when ChatGPT could've presented it right away without any ads.
It's a slippery slope.
Sure, nobody likes the Russians right now, but it also applies to other immigrants and refugees from elsewhere.
In Denmark a right wing party suggested something similar. They know fully well that immigrants don't vote for them, and they'd love nothing more than to remove their political representation and eventually remove them from our welfare too.
I'd definitely be wary of who and why they want to remove voting rights for certain tax payers.
You can't just drive around and vote everywhere . You'll need permanent residence.
EU citizens are allowed to live and work anywhere in EU, so by default they are also allowed to vote in their municipality where they live. info
I don't know if the following applies everywhere, but where I live this also includes people from outside EU, if they are allowed to live here permanently.
National elections require citizenship.
It's really just a nuisance when the anchoring isn't framed in a realistic way. Presenting it as a breaking point is just making people want to see the breakdown, like a toddler tantrum.
Concentration and focus, sometimes expression or simply indulgence. It can happen in other situations too. Sports for instance. Music is just one of those abstract things where you need to keep focus for a longer duration.
Try tapping your finger in a steady rhythm counting 1,2,3,4 repeatedly. After a while you'll want to close your eyes. Eventually you'll make a tap that is ever so slightly early or late and you'll probably start smirking or tighten other facial muscles. If that doesn't happen to you, perhaps try holding a dumbbell in a straight arm for as long as you can. Most people will start doing weird faces before they inevitable have to give up, even if the funny faces does nothing to keep the dumbbell up.
