Sometimes I wonder if they're the last sane people on the planet. Then I remember we have antibiotics, and my mom has a power wheelchair, and I wonder if there can't be some middle ground.

I have faith that it'll work out. 2020 felt like a training point in society and I think we'll eventually be able to realize this newfound social awareness a lot of us have come to obtain. Also, join an org if you're able/currently not in one!

Well restructuring all of society takes a lot of work and time and luck. And hey you can contribute to it as well.

Yep. From the North Sentinel Island wikipedia page:

The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at **low-flying helicopters. **

If they’re shooting at a helicopter, I don’t think they’ll think about a bunch of drones any differently.

Well the north alabamese also shoot at helicopters yet would totally be fooled by a giant face in the sky

Do you live here? Probably okay means survivable, literally over a billion people will die if they can't move from the unsurvivable parts

RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works · -2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I don't need to live in a place to know that heat domes, droughts, and rampant wildfires do not describe a place that's "probably survivable." You will not be able to live there 15-20 years from now.

I both live there and am planning to survive, and keep as many people alive with me as I can, have fun with whatever you're doing buddy

But if the tribe is uncontacted no one outside the tribe can speak their language

Rambi@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

That's not necessarily true. They may speak the same language, or a very similar language as/to a tribe nearby that is contacted.

Program an AI to detect and roughly learn the language.

Really put the matrix to the test. Can AI effectively lead the most basic "civilization" left on the planet and then watch elon fuck it up.

Vuraniute@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

ai can't translate languages while being given JUST phrases in the target language. It needs phrases in the target language AND English translations

illusoryMechanist@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

If you had hidden cameras, you could gather data on how the language is being used in various scenarios. That might be enough for an ai to use to "learn" the language

Rambi@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Obviously I understand that training a neural network is necessary, but AI has been used in some capacity to translate previously indecipherable languages.

LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y
