cmv: AI will replace most jobs not because it's brilliant, but because the average human is shockingly easy to outperform

I was talking to someone about jobs AI could never do, and I gave a shepherd as an example. But then we stopped and thought: why couldn't you mount a camera and an automatic weapon on a drone? After all, I have cameras in my yard that can recognize animals. The counterargument, however, was: "What happens if it shoots your dog instead of the bear, or worse, a person?"

That really got me thinking. What actually happens? Killing a person is terrible. But then I started analyzing the problem objectively. How many people haven't accidentally killed other people? It happens all the time, out hunting, or at home (you keep a gun in the house, someone is on your property, they are drunk and do not respond, so you fire).

Here is the point: AI does not need to be an absolute genius. It does not need to be AGI capable of doing anything and answering every question. It does not need to perform miracles. It does not need to never make a mistake. On average, it just needs to do these things better than 50% of the population. And to be completely honest with you, doing things better than 50% of the population is extremely easy.

Think about the average person and how much nonsense they do, think, believe, and practice. AI is already better than the bottom 50% of people. It certainly makes mistakes far less often than 50% of people. Just think about the sheer amount of nonsense the average person talks every single hour, and compare that to the nonsense AI spews. It does not even compare! Not even close, a human will talk absolute, outrageous nonsense across every field imaginable. AI has its moments where it derails too, but, and this is a massive but, it is infinitely better than the median person.

We're holding AI to the standard of a flawless god, while the people it's replacing are barely functioning above baseline incompetence. Change my view.

cmv: Minimum wage is modern day slavery with a few tweaks

In medieval Europe the servants would sit in the castel and do the cleaning, cooking, and the other chores. They would get fed and recive a piece of land to work it for the lord. Ocasionally if you were not behaving you might get your hands cutt off. Here the contract is, "You are in my land and you are mine"

Even something like the Bible says that slavery is ok. They viewed it as the servants but the contract was getting your ear pierced. Here the contract is "You are in my land so you are mine"

Nowadays we use the legal system to make people slaves, but we don't pierce their ears, we make them sign papers.

If an employer could pay you 1 cent per year, they would do that. Minimum wage is a rebranding of slavery from small isolated groups piercing their ears and cutting their hands when you feel like it to you can't do anything you want to them to them and pay them x amount, but you still own them.

Intamplari ciudate, le-ati patit?

Citeam pe r/RoHiking si a intrebat cineva legat de o drumetie solo si cum sa se pregateasca. Comentariile au inceput sa mearga catre zona povestilor cu evenimente paranormale/greu de explicat (voci prin padure, se face frig brusc etc.)

Eu nu am trait niciodata o astfel de experienta pe care sa nu mi-o pot explica, mereu am gasit un raspuns logic, dar va intreb pe voi, aveti astfel de intamplari (bunica visa mereu cand moare cineva, am stat intr-o seara pe geam si am vazut un strigoi, vineri la ora 12:13 primesc un mesaj pe telefon de la acelasi numar cu testul "Te vad" chestii de genul asta).

Deci, ce intamplari paranormale ati trait, daca v-au marcat si cum le explicati sau nu?

Is exodus real?

Atheist here, maybe I read the wrong sources, but it seems to me that all of exodus is just a legend something like King Arthur.

Does anybody have a source to prove that the words in exodus are real? And to what extend, because the book depict milions of Jews fleeing Egipt. Do we have any archeological evidence to back it up?
