Seems obvious but there will certainly be people that can't really comprehend the fact that this copy that they literally can't distinguish in any way from their family member could be different. They'll probably falsely believe that since it acts the same it must be driven by the same motives and feelings

Others wont care

The first group will probably be mostly younger folks (kids)

> No need to go to restaurant and pay a lot of money for decent food

If that becomes reality. It's gonna be a future where, like musicians, 3 stars and other star Chefs will write, perform and upload their recipes with cooking techniques included. We will buy and download those "recipes", which would automatically give your robot not only new recipes, but also new skills.

Restaurants will still exist, but the vast majority of them automated. And cooks will be like musicians. Only a very small minority will make a living. While the rest will do it as a side gig, a hobby.

Yes and I want my face at every McDonald's cash register asking people how I can help them...

Tesla doesn't exactly have an A+ for build quality; it's like rolling the dice on whether you have panel gaps or not.

In terms of performance though it's entirely likely that the Tesla would be better but at this price... I don't know.

It's likely single motor, 20-30% reduced range, no FSD capabilities, and the same crappy interior or worse as they cut costs.

Why not use cryopreservation? You know, cryobiologists take it seriously now and has actually a chance of working.

I would guess that anti-sat missiles and anti-air missiles once it gets close enough could work. Not an expert though. Don’t think you can regulate space - there’s satellites from all sorts of countries always flying over, I don’t think this would be any different. There’s also been plenty of missile tests done by various countries, they just let each other know what’s up.

I didn't think of that! What are yoyr thoughts on counter measures? Will there be permits to fly over you?

I imagine you'd be a very "fun" teacher. The idea is to combine fun, game-like education with self driven standards. It can't work for everyone, but neither does current public school. Neither does religious school or home school. Neither does current self education. I don't know if it'll work, it'll have flaws and not work for everyone because that's how everything works. No matter how good you do, some people just won't try or will fail. It's simply a new tool that'll be added to the toolbox.

Seems such a waste to destroy all this equipment that's cost a lot to get into space. Pity it can't be salvaged. Maybe push it into a higher orbit until then?

Didn't he do AI training for the Darth Vader voice?

I find it difficult to identify precisely what I dislike about the idea of a digital simulacrum of me in some way taking my place after my death, so I can’t offer much help with that if you don’t see any reasons why it could be objectionable. Nevertheless, I think most people agree that certain wishes of a deceased person ought to be respected even if the deceased person is no longer around to care (e.g., whether one wants to be buried, cremated, etc.), and I would hope that could extend to this issue.

As far as why one might want to interact with the simulation—I think that’s much easier to see, though specifics would depend on how far the technology goes. On the simpler end, a basic chatbot that simulates the deceased’s voice might at least be comforting to someone grieving. I know people who say they would like to use similar technology to have one last chance to talk to someone they loved, even if they knew it was fake. On the more sophisticated (and much more hypothetical) end, I suppose such a simulation could allow some bereaved to function almost as though their loved one never died. Hopefully it’s easy to see why someone might want to live their life as though their dead friends or family were still living.

> Some people are driven. Some people are not.

Jesus Christ, what a way to run an education system.

"Sorry Parent, we didnt teach your kid anything this year because he wasnt driven. Better luck next year."

No. Just No. A school has to teach all students as much as they can, not just the "driven" ones. Get them to sit down, shut up, listen, take notes, ask questions, and yes it will all be tested on the exam.

That's just the way things are. Some people are driven. Some people are not. The driven people, given access to tools and information, get to be better educated and live better lives. Why should the future be any different?

Cynically saying everyone is in the unmotivated category is wrong though. For every person that becomes a cyberpotato there'll be another that chooses to chase cyber-godhood. Just like there's people that give themselves a college education equivalent on their own time with free tools today.

In 2016 I learned about automated trucks that are ready and just waiting on government approval to get on the road. I predicted from that point we only had 50 years till all jobs are replaced by robots. Things are advancing faster than I expected.

I’d love to interact with 200 yr old common folks

To be fair the carpet is spotless. With the newer models having intelligent mapping. Which is an other reason for wanting to get an other robot. But it's hard to justify whilst the current one is still working.

> Everyone has the ability to look up anything

Go to any news subreddit. People are too lazy to read the article, which is only one click away.

>In the hands of a naturally curious and talented kid

And thats where the whole thing falls apart... in a world where most people are too fucking lazy to scroll down the page a bit to see what people have already posted... before posting the exact same fucking question that has already been asked and answered a hundred times already.

The only way to get information into the average kid's head is to tell them to sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen.

You make a deep learning AI that you train on yourself over the course of your life and upload it after your death so anyone can talk to you from any age of your life.

Space X was always about being a military operation.

they already are - Boeing Lockheed etc...

still, you sounded knowledgeable. very good reddit fill.

They didn’t let you use calculators until you were taught how to add subtract divide and multiply without them

Seems to be like only a specialist would be able to tell when AI is bullshitting about their field
