the first 'ai disaster' will be a corp shirking responsibility by blaming their unchecked automatic bureaucratic processes on ai. Look no further at what HERTZ did sending out automated arrest warrants for erroneous causes, leading to dangerous confrontations with armed police. Luckily no one was killed, but innocent law abiding people were very traumatized.

This was without 'ai' but the blame was nearly close, "oops automated process did it!"

The 'artificial intelligence' has been here (starts with B). Kafka wrote about it comically.

Do not act like cars are the only way for transport. Less cars means more modes of transport. More options means mobility. Cars and their parking and road infra exceed at providing ON DEMAND transportation. Beyond that their storage and use and prioritization makes other modes of transportation less able. - So its the other way around. Less cars, more mobility

reminds me of some dystopian short story I read somewhere, where society moves to a nearly full advertising economy, and everyone has to be an influencer about all the food / things they consume for the day, streaming themselves on camera live 24/7

whoops. I was wrong! you can store base64 encoded metadata in the object then run a HEAD request to get it, but its limited to 2kb. also, you ~can~ query the metadata, but its latency is more suited to batch processing and not lambdas

if only metadata could be queried without processing a csv output file first, imagine storing thumbnails in there even! copied objects had actual events, not something you have to dig cloudtrail for, you could get last update time from a bucket to make caching easier

when can i expect the upside to this? Will it come in dollars? Will I save $10 a year now at the expense of a gov capable of building scalable web apps?

Pooling money and resources will always be greater in quality efficiency and quantity than individual or privatized effort. Think about how inefficient decentralized blockchain computations are.

gutting gov services for measly tax cuts is atrocious and an attack on American people.
