I have a double monitor setup and a standing desk in my room and when you walk into my room it looks extremely opulent to the point of being goofy, but those cost a very small fraction of the extra I'd have to pay for an average car and make my life much much much easier.
I bought my car for $13k which is half of what the average American pays. If I spent that extra $13k on like, an insane workstation or a new wardrobe, it'd look ridiculously opulent, but people see a slightly nicer/newer car as totally reasonable. Obvious point but like wow
@pmddomingos Likewise image recognition. I think you reach a point where you can reliably tell if a picture is a cat or a dog, and there's not much further to go with that. We're saturating the benchmarks.
@pmddomingos I don't know what "massively superhuman basic-level reading comprehension" is...
"The world's overpopulated so we need to let the global poor starve" being said to me directly over and over was one of the things that pushed me toward EA back in 2014. Was desperate for anyone who would reliably say "That's a very bad trade-off, actually"
