After you create an OSM account, there is also https://maproulette.org, which has tons of little tasks to fix, grouped into challenges, and many of them can be done using just the aerial photos, from the comfort of your seat.

Then there is also mapping for humanitarian purposes, https://tasks.hotosm.org/, which has mapping projects prepared by disaster response teams, and you can help by updating maps of areas recently affected by disasters. E.g. recently there was a lot of mapping in the area hit by the August river flood in Nepal.

Yes, last night we all voted and decided to move to its successor RSB instead.

What if he trusts the wrong experts? And who decides which expert is right and which is wrong?

It only becomes a problem if the actions you take, are a one way street and net negative.

I for sure take AGI serious enough for my job, that I will not take out a big loan anymore.

But there are also indications right? If a lot of smart people say similiar things and they are wrong, thats a lot better to have trusted them than believing some weirdo with a sign "Aliens are coming".

No, I think most of the recent huge datacenter buildups are for US AI efforts only in the AI arms race, not to be rented out.

What is the AI arms reace to you?

Isn't it to be the globally dominant provider of such a service? Everything else is in service of that goal.

We're still deep in the research and exploration phase, who knows what will huge oodles of compute be useful for in the end? Maybe it will end up being used by the owning corporation or local nation state, against similar amount of compute wielded by another corporation or nation state.

After all, what else than governments and corporations will be left after the rest of us poors will inevitably be priced out of the economy?

Thank god.

But it's mostly like all the dialects, with some extra stuff on top that the dialects tend to drop.

I'd say if you just want to quickly be able to speak with people around you, learn the local dialect, but if you want to really learn Arabic long-term, learn fusha, and you'll have easier time understanding most dialects later.

And those jurisdictions need to have people not susceptible to bribery or extortion by the corporations making those data collection devices. That's a big ask.

True. But corruption by those in positions of power and influence is a problem as old as the ages, sadly. But at least there _are_ rules and penalties in place for those caught so there's an element of risk. Whereas the blanket data harvesting by corporations currently appears to go utterly unabated.
