I like to think they're different in the sense that automation is the brain and mechanisation is the muscle. They do compliment eachother. And they are both forms of "industrialisation"

Stowaways for one.

It’s still a common occurrence and causes a huge hassle for the ship with CBP.

Fast track to fascism. If you really think this is what the world needs, you're a fascist your just might not realize it yet

It's not as glorious but I highly highly recommend trying to volunteer or help your local community first , before trying to achieve global peace. If you cannot help those around you , what makes you think you can help those far away, who live in different cultures.

I'll assume you are a young person who has great ambitions and that's fucking awesome we need people like you to change the world.

The problem is we need millions of people like you , in every community around the world.

But you also need to take a bit of a reality check.

Not everyone wants help.

And you are just a single person wanting to take on a task that requires millions, even billions of people to actively work towards.

Start small , in your family even, then see what you can do in your neighbourhood, your community, your city.

I do enjoy eating. High latitude farmers may frown on reduction of their growing season.

I'm thinking squid game or running man

So give the drone a photo of the target person and hope it doesn't find someone who merely looks like them first? Sounds like a Three Stooges plot.

Reminder: we also use the sun to grow all our food.

I wonder who'll tell the world's two billion marginal farmers about this genius plan.

Is there potential for disaster involving magnets? I’m not sure to what extent they are used, if at all, in modern devices.

Pole vaulting.

Medical research is a very common target for machine learning algorithms.

Shit dude you’re making me feel old.

No one even knew what AI was back then

It was more about every computer malfunctioning at the same time because the coding of the years was only 2 digits so there was no way of logically putting coding in the year 2000 and beyond.

This did cause some glitches and stuff, but nothing crazy, people thought that nukes were going to go off and that airplanes would drop out of the sky and no form of communication.

I’m only 28 though so it’s not like I actually experienced it.

Agreed. I keep telling people they should do things my way, yet they just don't listen!

All good mate, sleep well

Artificial General Intelligence, or AI which thinks about the world in a general way and solves problems with a cognitive process analogous to our own.

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence

Large language models like ChatGPT are "narrow AI". They are statistics engines operating upon word sequences, and are not capable of understanding the world nor have anything remotely resembling cognitive processes.

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_model

Cognitive scientists currently lack a sufficiently complete theory of intelligence for us to design AGI. Work is ongoing, but there's no way to predict when or if the relevant gaps in cognitive theory will be filled.

Great point. Humans still legally rape babies and own slaves. Laws do not curb bad human behavior, and we have not used legislation to protect people and criminalize anti-social acts. There has been no human progress over the past few centuries, and enacting more laws, rules and legislation to make the world fairer is not possible, because of human natur- oh wait. I'm an idiot! The "human nature" argument is nonsense!

I'm reminded of an Arthur C. Clarke story, where he pointed out how you can create a fair, just economic and political system with a simple USB drive containing a word document full of societal rules. In his story the USB drive would go from planet to planet, and be codified by people on these planets as their new societal laws. Rules, the story argued, guide how socioeconomic systems behave, and these systems in turn shape people. ie- you want a better world, you get smart people to push smarter laws.

That's what I'm saying. The only in-roads I can give you on this is of course you may not use coersion or force yet people must recognize and reject their own character flaws. If that doesn't happen we stall out.

Probably benzene plus impurities. Plastic is basically a bunch of C and H chains that burns well but reacts with whatever is in the mix.

you could also argue that industry (coming from Latin "diligence, activity, zeal") and automation (Greek "self-acting") are synonyms, but that leads to more chaos and thus only complicates things, so best to use them with their primary association they are today defined by.

AI can (and will) lead to further automation of production lines, granted, but so did digitalisation, and they all lead to more industrialisation.

It's you choice I guess

You mean the people who sit for 8 hours and exercise for 1 hour per day?

I'll get back to you! Tomorrow! I'm spent on replying to longer posts
