Math Teacher: You won’t be carrying a calculator with you every where you go.

Me: Umm actually I will.

Math teacher: yeah but in the future Microsoft will force you to log in to use the calculator App, harvest your data and sell it to your insurance company forcing you to pay thousands more.

Me: Oh umm, I’ll be using Android?

Teacher: LOL, Ok.

Me: Ok, I’ll just carry a regular calculator around.

Teacher: Trust me if you don’t want to be a nerd you need to stay inside and do your homework.

I would argue the problem is not having a calculator in my pocket but getting it out of my pocket when I’m juggling a baby.

The trick is to throw the baby higher than the calculator so you have time to press a few buttons on the calculator each time.

That sounds suspiciously like me trying to comment when my dog is laying on my chest.

Considering the CO2 output of ai, I’d say they’re creating more problems.

Eh, it’s not like that’s not a solvable problem. Electric cars and AC also suffer from the same issue wherein they’re as clean or dirty as the electric generation they’re connected to.

Hook an AC to a renewable energy source and it’s not all that dirty (provided no leaks), AI data centers are the same way.

Until you need to verify if the computer understood and solved the problem properly

It’s like, sure, a calculator can help you solve equations… but what is the proper equation for the situation?
