[programmers frantically pulling cables out of the wall] AI: "Nuclear power. Double teachers' salaries. Build more houses. Distribute food more fairly. TRAINS—" — qntmyrrh (@qntm) November 24, 2023 I remember growing up with that same old adage of how you could be the next scientist to invent a cure for cancer, or a solution to climate change, or whatever. What they don’t tell you is that we already have solutions for a lot of problems, we just don’t use them.

    1. Holy fucking god what a vulnerability.

    2. Every single tech industry job I ever had I was laughed at or screamed at for asking about actually bug testing what we were making.

    3. Literally all of the other points made about us collectively knowing how to solve problems that we just don’t have literally resulted in everyone I have ever known that I told about such things thinking I am literally insane for believing that maybe we should /actually/ solve said problems we already know how to solve.
