    Geordin Hill-Lewis won't grant Cape Town departmental management additional budget for salaries unless they implement AI

    Don't joke, but I would be 100% in favour of an AI being responsible for decision making in government. You could easily start with local government. 1) Legislature has to pick a specific publicly available model that will be the brain. 2) The parties that have a majority produce a document...

    Sasolburg set to become new green hydrogen base

    Aviation fuel is unfortunately the one place where you cannot really swap with electrical. The energy density of batteries is just not high enough. It's not a bad idea to be able to produce the stuff in case Iran gets a nuke.

    That isn't what he said. He said if you want to hire more resources, you need to be showing you are trying to optimise existing resources by using AI.

    Is that any different than the pre-AI world to be honest?

    Police investigate deaths of two Gauteng teenagers in Sabie

    In this case it genuinely doesn't matter unfortunately. Unless some extraordinary evidence comes to light that gives another explanation, they know the person who did the deed is dead. Likely because he realised what a horrible thing he did. No trial or court case or the facts emerging from it...

    Just make producing continuous slop a fireable offence. :p

    Police investigate deaths of two Gauteng teenagers in Sabie

    Why do you think the law treats the two differently? Could it not be because why someone did something is actually quite important?

    Do you think data scientists reads a bunch of numbers and magically comes about a conclusion? They don't. They write a bunch of code that tests hypothesis against data and checks whether the hypothesis is correct or not. So for example. Is there a correlation between X and Y, is there a...

    AI is a productivity multiplier. For a diligent person who wants to get their work done, they will do more far more work. If you give it to someone who is already a net drain, they will produce far more slop.

    Nope. Every single new model that has been released has gotten cheaper for the same task. If you look at 5.6 Luna, which is the dirty cheap model that you use for things like generating the name of a session, it is on par of intelligence (that is the ability to do stuff), with the previous...

    Teacher salaries must be cut in half

    You would need to do more than that. You basically need a constitutional amendment to fix education, because schools are simultaneously forced to give an "education" to kids who clearly don't want it and are not able to discipline them effectively.

    Teacher salaries must be cut in half

    Well what is then? Here are the relevant sections from the education department's diagnostic report. Specifically on maths education. Maths literacy is a joke of a subject. It is retarded level. Despite the absolutely pathetically low standard, the education dept claims it is a good thing that...
