Without any kind of documentation, this sounds made up or not at all widespread.

INB4 the primary consumer of the digital copies is creepy stalkers renting out Lucy Liu bots.

Even if it was a copy why would I make a copy of myself and upload it to a potential hell, no rem sleep ever, a possibly stronger more powerful a.I. god type character (possibly a coder or Rich af person who has more access to things in this uploaded world that I do not) who could potentially virtually torture me if they please literately forever without any way out. Copy of me or not it’s still me and no way in hell would I do that to myself or a copy of myself who thinks they’re me essentially. I can only imagine it’d turn out to become some hellish black mirror episode turned to reality for an eternity.

Anybody play Atomic Heart?

This seems weirdly on the nose

There already is a demand for prompt engineering, with excellent pay too. However, I suspect that this will be a very short lived opportunity, as AI will quickly evolve beyond the need. I think in the very near term, we will se AI prompt engineers.

lol. You realize that chatGPT can already do a better job than you?

You need to read\listen to the bobiverse series about an engineer who get turned into a von Neumann probe and help colonize the galaxy, very funny stuff.

But why? I suppose it could come off as arrogant to continue consuming resources beyond the current average lifecycle if those resources are harmful or nonrenewable.

On the other hand, if your immortality cost was simply energy (that can be harnessed in multiple renewable ways) what harm could come from it? The potential for larger collective thought and minimized loss of information is very appealing to me. There is also the possibility that once you're data, you can be modified or 'upgraded' essentially merging humanity with the AI we're currently creating.

Now, I understand there is LOADS of moral, ethical, and technical questions that are far beyond my ability to solve myself. I just think there is a way it can result in advancement instead of replacement.

I think there will be a demand for it. You need to be able to write to a certain degree of detail. I disagree with u/StrawInANeedleStack in this regard because until AI can read you're mind, you're going to have to be able to think through the problem and be able to pull out all the relevant details. That's not something a lot of people have an innate ability to do.

Prompting is a skill that will require development and again, until they can read our minds, it's always going to be a skill.

That said, I think it will be mixed with your job. If you're an ad writer, you'll be an ad writer with prompt expertise, or a software developer with prompt expertise, etc...

And I'll offer an example: Try to describe the layout of a web page like Google News, in detail, so ChatGPT can reproduce the layout in HTML and CSS. It's a lot of freaking words with tremendous detail and describing it in a way that isn't confusing for the AI is incredibly difficult. Ask me how I know.

I imagine that there will be very little demand for this in the future. As AI improves it will get better at interpreting prompts correctly, and it will be able to iterate based of feedback. Anyone will be able to write effective prompts to get the output they want. There will probably be no need for specialized 'prompt engineers'.

They are stupid/greedy to do that, they'd rather just smoke em they got em.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/WestEst101:

Designing buildings for disassembly, with the aim of recycling or reusing their materials, is gaining traction as a future way to reduce environmental impact. Builders can use materials such as wood and steel, which are easier to recycle or reuse than concrete and drywall, and opt for standardised connections that can be easily removed. This approach allows future residents to make changes more easily, such as removing wall panels or repurposing entire rooms. The concept aligns with a growing number of regulations promoting the "circular economy", where products and materials are reused and recycled as much as possible to limit environmental harm.

If you can transfer the essence of someone's entire personality into a computer, who says that they don't just continue to live as data untethered from mortality?

I think it was the first time I watched Ghost in the Shell, but I've always dreamed of digital immortality. I very much hope to donate my brain to such research if possible.

For coffee specificly, i don't know, this specific case just stuck with me because i've seen it firsthand.

Is there any documentation anywhere? Can I read an article about it or something?

Oh broh, it's been a decade since then, i don't know if this is even a thing anymore. Sorry i do not remember, it was just a teacher of mine who showed us the trick on his coffee machine, no idea what brand it was, but certainly a cheap one.

It's a grand idea, but it seems it will increase the cost if housing a lot, which is a major issue young people are struggling with.

Maybe you got lucky, i think this was a discussion around a decade ago. I don't know how widespread it was and if it's even still legal but there were certainly coffee machines that had this or simmilar features.

No mention of how expensive those polymer chains they add to make it work would be. The initial idea of using lignin is great but we need a bit more realistic information on all these new battery tech articles that end up never seeing the light of day

When your contract is up?

I think you need to name and shame.
