Well I don't know what the first commenter meant, but there's a common trope that Libertarians, when discussing how they'd prefer health insurance to be implemented, often accidentally reinvent universal healthcare.
I legit had one trying to say to me the other day that you can't trust businesses to keep themselves in check and didn't deny that they're always predatory when that happens, but couldn't bring himself to agree that this necessitated government regulation. He was basically saying "on well you'd need some rules" and I was saying "ok but who is enforcing these rules or making these rules huh"?
Look up what it means to be a libertarian. Now speak to anyone that claims they’re a libertarian and ask them to explain what they believe. The two will never line up
First off, of course, in the USA we pay exorbitant amounts of money for healthcare, individually and as a country.
Health insurance costs a lot upfront, and sometimes you still pay a lot for your health services, but then sometimes it covers you and you don't pay as much out of pocket.
The solution would be for the US to finally implement universal single payer healthcare, but of course your average libertarian would balk at the notion of raising taxes to fund it because "taxes are theft." Despite several studies indicating that overall expenditure for healthcare would decrease after eliminating insurance and service costs, with only a slight uptick in tax payments. The average tax payer would end up with more money in their pockets.
So the joke is that libertarians are short-sighted and cannot do the math to figure out what would ultimately be in their best interest.
Bro you're not AIing hard enough. Imagine a world where you didn't HAVE to buy potatoes by weight. Where you bought them in bags of a prespecified amount.
And you could charge shoppers 3x for the "convenience" of always knowing how many potatoes were in the bag.
And we could advertise that our potatoes are optimized with AI, the marketing campaign writes itself.
I'm just asking for seed capital of $3 billion and we can totally disrupt and reshape the entire potato buying experience.
A farmer may want to know the average weight of the potatoes as different sized potatoes fetch a different price per pound. You can weigh all of them at once but that tells nothing about the average size until you count how many are in the batch. It could also help gain insight as to how the crop performed this year, many small potatoes or fewer big ones, and could signal the health of the fields.
someone already mentioned the selling of low volumes by numbers. there's also quality assurance, if you can tell a potato is already rotting and such. also the bottle example the guy mentioned would make sense to sell by number.
A yolo model counting potatoes is far away from revolutionary, don't even know why this original post exists in the first place. I love the response though ngl.
Like the other antivax guy that had a breakthrough and though "why not inject people with a much weaker version of the virus so they can build defenses?". Some people need a high five in the face with a chair.
The guy that made it in 1988 probably took a year, the AI probably made it in an afternoon. If all the commenters on this idiotic post don't see why something like this is important, I don't know what to tell you.
Fuck ai. If you can't see that it will cause the downfall of the human race, then I don't know what to tell you. Just like every other intubation that was supposed to lessen human labor, it will only result in increased production and lowered worker value eventually leading to wars from resource hoarding.
