Or like enamel growth on teeth experts.

Or tinnitus research.

Or migraine research.

Or longevity research.

Or any other research actually.

How about just universal healthcare, housing, and education?

They might end up shooting the dolphin up with acid and jerking it off until it commits suicide.

Or feeding the poor

Maybe they should have spent the money on fusion research first. They could have had nearly free power, and make a fortune selling off the rest, all while saving the climate.

I support actually doing this.

As in literally taking the money straight out of the billionaire funding pockets. But not in parity with the amounts used for AI funding, I just mean all of it. And not simply "all of it", but actually all of it, to the point where they're in soup kitchen lines and panhandling, hoping to get enough to pay for dinner.

Take all that money and put it in science research, charities, etc.

If they can't get enough from the charities back to keep breathing, then oh well. Sorry people that deserve it got it instead, oh well, we'll make a note that we're all doing great on the money that was yours.

Its funny, we dont fund all these things because they're "good enough" to work. And the reason we're dumping lumps into AI is because it doesn't even do "good enough" right now but there's a lot of people that expected it to already.

Give dolphins, octopus, and cuddlefish psychedelics

But like honestly though, I've seen on YouTube people funded almost entirely through commissions and patrons manage metallurgical feats previously considered impossible like the forge welding of titanium to steel. Imagine what they could do with even a fraction of Nvidia's or OpenAI's budget?

What's the total amount given to AI in a year? I'm curious how many decades we could solve world hunger, provide free healthcare for the planet, AND make advancements in renewable energy.

If we could communicate with dolphins or primates I'm sure we'll use the tech for military use, breeding millions of primates in captivity to be sent to the frontline

The ice bucket challenge paid off in real medical breakthroughs within 2 years by raising 115 million. Komen had a HUGE impact on breast cancer research that lead to real medical improvements that saved lives.

If we dumped AI money broadly into almost any field of research we'd see more people shift toward that field to get funding. We'd see struggling projects get the funding they need to continue. We'd see stuff that wasn't pursued because it's a long shot get the funding it needs. Better staffed and equipped labs where work is already being done.

You'd see an explosion in progress over the coming years.

Imagine if we just awarded it every year to the farmer who can grow the largest yield per acre or the manufacturer who built the best car.

New AInvil, coming soon

I'll take some of that blacksmith funding. My plan is to take two laminated Damascus swords and then forge weld them together so you get twice the sword for your money.

I have this thought often, what if instead of football and baseball we got around to watch a team if engineers do cool science shit for the season.

Jet pack cyber dogs can play capture the flag, recreation of midway w drones replacing fighter planes, pizza deliver drones that fly so high entry warms your pie.

Just saying paying men to move ball ain't for me....so I wanna see your money and support go to something I think cool.

Or put it in a tube and fling it into space... ...oh wait.

nothing good will come out of this if there's big tech venture capitalists involved. if these guys were in charge of developing a pencil - we would've been stuck with styluses and told that this is peak tech.
