The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.

If you're worrying about being replaced by that... Go find the code, read it, and feel better.

I feel like you may be arguing with someone who is making an Always Sunny reference.

I'm not saying everything in the world has been done, but "what, like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?"

Wow, I didn't realise that was still about! I'm tempted to go check it out again!

Yeah, though a nice thing for those who need it my immediate worry was "well, this may mean companies lean further into tipping because yay tax free" rather than working towards just paying workers.

Humtum.

Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.

As the parent comment suggested, or there's no way to opt out, currently.

I'm glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.

Yeah, what's the jokey parable thing?

A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There's been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button.
"Damn, you going to fire that guy?"
"Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?"

The only sad thing is that it seems like they're (still?) only talking about the other side's policy, rather than backing their own policy based on its strength.

Just "I'm not the other side" (but at least with policy rather than personality)

The Xreal Air~, or the just-being-released Xreal Air 2 Ultra, is potentially that.

Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.

1. I think you're on the wrong community for this question.

2. The thing regularly referred to as "AI" of late is more accurately referred to as generative AI, or large language models. There's no capacity for learning from humans, it's pattern matching based on large sets of data that are boiled down to a series of vectors to give a most-likely next word for a response to a prompt. You could argue that that's what people do, but that's a massive over simplification. You're right to say it does not have the ability to form thoughts and views. That said, like a broken clock, an LLM can put out words that match up with existing views pretty darn easily!

You may be talking about general AI, which is something we've not seen yet and have no timeframe for existing. That may be able to have beliefs... But again, there's not even a suggestion of that being close to happening. LLMs are (in my opinion) not even a good indicator or precursor to that coming soon.

TL;DR: An LLM (or generative AI) can't have or form beliefs.

To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.

I don't know where you're getting the 15-20 percent thing.

For what it's worth, as it's not clear if you're already aware, but Al Franken was actually a pretty decent senator for ~9 years.

Jon has stuck his oar into political matters, but not at that level.
