How loud they are and the sort of nasal quality they have to them. Like for American reference, imagine a whole country of people that sound like Janice from Friends.
American accents are like nails on a blackboard, and it doesn’t help they are 10x louder than everyone else to the point where if you’re in a crowded bar that so loud you can’t hear the guy next to you, you can perfectly here the one American on the other side of the room.
And that’s not an exaggeration, that’s actual experience.
Because AI and robotics are completely different thing. AI is software, so it can just use the well developed computer hardware we have, has no intrinsic material cost, can be taught by YouTube videos and be made by anyone with some technical knowledge and a computer.
Whereas moving objects around requires robotics which, while mu h more accessible than it used to be, still requires specific parts, which can cost quite a lot and denying on the project night have to be custom made, and you need an actual lab/workshop to do anything remotely high end or reliable. And then when you have a design for your dish washing robot you jave to pay the material costs and labour for each one you want to make, whereas an AI you can send the binaries of the bot around for free and run it on existing hardware people have.
I get what you’re saying, but I think this idea of anything but absolute good is evil is unproductive, and doesn’t mesh well with the reality we live in.
Like my country has a famous suicide spot and a famous Old man that ha gs around that suicide spot to convince people not to kill themselves. If he decides to take his kid to the movies one day, and while he’s gone someone kills themselves at that spot. He is not any less of a good person for it. He has not committed any evil and I wouldn’t even say he’s prioritised his kid seeing a movie over saving a life. And even if he spent his whole life on that cliff stopping people from jumping, there’s always another spot where he wasn’t there and a person that jumped that he could have stopped, so this idea of true, absolute good is impossible.
So I think it’s the same for everyone we should not criticise people for not chasing an unattainable idea of absolute good, or even push people toward chasing it.
I mean if you also separated all the other animals that can get the flu from each other, including most mamals and birds, then sure, you might be able to get rid of the flu that way, but good luck actually doing that.
Nah shit is actually quite common, like ads for boots joking about how you’ll never retire so why should your boots? Or talking about how everything is unaffordable so you should buy OUR bullshit etc.
