The entire bubble, boom if you prefer, is built on this. Basic knowledge work can be done by robots, goodbye humans. It's serious and profound. It will come in fits and starts unless there is popular revolution against the elite criminals.
I demand from our reps a right to privacy and a right to repair and anyone who votes against this is out.
Gorgeous pictures, but I dislike the "chef hats" in the first image. It makes them seem less like top-notch scientists and more like short-order cooks.
Companies take cultural cues from leadership. When you have a puffed-up sociopath who has never accomplished anything but lying his way to the top, this is what you get.
I'm both infuriated and worried that such a flim-flam man has put himself at the center of the U.S. stock market.
The racketeering statutes should be applied to the treasonous elites within business, government, and banking who conspire to use "private-public" partnerships to subvert the U.S. Constitution and our indiviudual rights. I further believe these individuals and groups need to be arrested, prosecuted, and punished to the full extent that the treason clause permits.
My point exactly; sci-fi you even more need to refer to accurate statistics whatever they may be.
I believe DVDs and Blu-Ray discs and players will increase in value over time, almost like samizdat printing presses -- underground video viewers that let us watch movies without the monolithic globalist corporate police state observing, penalizing, demanding identitification, and trying to extract an ounce of monopolist rentier blood.
If you have the resources, you could also serve her with papers. IANAL, but that arguably is libel, defamation, harassment and so incredibly insane that it deserves a severe legal smackdown.
These programs are great for sitting down and writing with no distractions, but if you have a setup with directories full of word docs, text files, various graphics, even excel sheets all related to what you are working on that you need to refer to and cross-reference, they are less useful than an older version of Word or OpenOffice/LibreOffice. And they are difficult to export, share... there's a reason we don't use typewriters anymore, or DOS programs whose output is confined within a single program.
Gross incompetent Western elites, shoved full of garbage ideology, go and outsource all manufacturing and are astounded, astounded! that countries and peoples that dare to resist their tyranny can build cheaper than their corrupt, criminal networks of nepotism.
Supply and demand? Bubblists seem to think there's an infinite supply of chips, power, and water to make as many chat bots as possible; physics, as usual, dictates limits.
I'm sorry, this is just sententious bloviation. The sources are so thin, there's no reason to go around imputing all these fantastical ideas that somehow benefit your own beliefs. It's just boring and insipid to watch people fall into this trap over and over.
Totalitarian societies of the future will solve this with technology, with all the unfortunate side effects that will entail.
"Login with your Google or some other globalist public-private tyrannical spyware trash" is the most common "dickover" around.
Selective history marinated with ideological bias. Unreadable.
Its nickname since the 1970s has been Criminals in Action, when they were smuggling heroin out of the Golden Triangle to fund covert actions during the Vietnam War.
The cover of national security has allowed a certain type of organized crime to proliferate to the point it's breaking society.
as I recall, they hired writers and freelancers who put together broad articles that got pointed too when you asked a question, instead of trying to answer questions individually... but my memory could be off, that was 20 years ago.
Creating productivity gain narrtives
What a dystopian, pro-tyranny ask. Horrifying.
That's a tad naive. CEOs can and have and often lied about everything:
Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes, Kenneth Lay - and hundreds if not thousands more.
The SEC is a regulatory agency, not able to bring criminal charges. The above-named for the most part had to be prosecuted by the Department of Justice or sometimes state attorneys.
Just thinking out loud... why can't an algorithm be an artificial person in the legal sense that a corporation is? Why not legally incorporate the AI as a corporation so it can operate in the real world: have accounts, create and hold copyrights...
And maybe TSMC should make cellphones? If you're higher up the supply chain why go downstream into risk? It's financially irresponsible.
Maybe a subtle form of gaslighting with features of victim blaming and argument from authority? Microsoft treats its users and customers with utter contempt.
I hope Valve takes this opportunity to turn its toehold with Steam OS into a full-blown invasion of the desktop/laptop market and destroy Microsoft's monopoly while the latter is so focused on creating everything an actual user doesn't want:
- virulent data mining
- wanton privacy destruction
- worthless UIX changes
- clumsy, useless "agentic" integrations
- disgustingly overpriced "licenses"
- software as a service
- planned obsolescence
etc.
Should 17-year-olds be gambling? They're still in high school, the high-tech excuse of blaming the parents while pocketing billions of dollars is odious and convincing a jury to slap these companies with tobacco industry levels of damage remains feasible.
This guide hasn't been updated since 2020, does it need or will there be updates in the future?
He should've thought harder about the names, particularly "grifter." What he describes is not even remotely close to what grifting means.
The technocrat thinks that the AI is that generalist and will impose it on you whether you want it or not:
"I didn't violate a red light. I wasn't even driving, the AI was!"
"The AI said you did, that's 50,000 yuan please."
Failure to define your meaning of "bog" in the opening paragraphs leads to unneeded frustration.
Given how unreliable LLM is in general usage with its tendency to "hallucinate" -- a grossly anthropomorphic term, when it's just an alogrithm with no sense of what's "actual" or "fictional" -- to use this in government and law is irresponsible and criminaly negligent.
To use it in war is abhorrent.
