What in the C-Bills nonsense is this?

8/10/12 hour days at work with people you only maybe like, but perhaps hate. 16/14/12 hours a day for sleeping, eating, cooking, cleaning, etc to take care of yourself, and maybe interact with people you like and enjoy being around in a social context, an attempt to remain informed while trying to avoid AI slop, misinformation, trolls, and media intent on rage baiting you, and making you feel inferior so it can sell you something.

Seriously, what the actual fuck.

Universities started pushing AI as a learning tool. They pay for subscription AI services for enrolled students. So I'm not sure this isn't them doing this to themselves.

Pepper spray doesn't have to be accurate and it's more immediate than a tranquilizer (which could also be dangerous because the same amount of traquilizer used on a grown adult could kill a kid).

That being said this is "let's try anything except addressing mental health, bullying, and gun control".

You've mistaken this for a working democracy with proper consumer protections and actionable laws.

But yeah. Thats how it's supposed to work.

My understanding is that LG broke the TOS and Microsoft asked them to stop instead of penalizing them under the agreement they broke. They wouldn't do this for the average consumer and so the average consumer should jump ship to something else.

And users have the choice to not fund his ability to do so in the future by finding a different place to spend their money.

Vote with your wallet is something not everyone believes in anymore, but at the same time, this doesn't really have anything to do with the company's values. It's a simple equation. Giving the company money means this guy receives money. So people want to stop giving him money by proxy.

Someone at Open AI saw the episode of GitSSAC and decided they wanted to fuck the organ manufacturing CEO with the tin can cybernetic body, I see.

That's pretty much what the smart speakers were marketed to do. Draw off your digital life in order to give you personalized responses.

Sounds to me like the only thing this does is roam around and ~~give~~ ~~AI psycohcsis~~ have "personality".

Call me when I can block all AI music.

Yes. Agreed. But it's the Business aspect of this and his inability to understand that that I question. We have seen this before with government bailouts.

It seems like the idea is that if every American owns a piece of the pie so to speak, then we actually get something from bailing these companies out or rather insuring them with our tax dollars.

But what he can't seem to see is that this is exactly what businesses would want if they know they exist in a bubble.

We accuse a lot of politicians of being on the take, or invested in businesses that are a conflict of interest, and I think that assumptions clouds our ability to really honestly look at their poor understanding of business and economics.

I have to assume he thinks that these companies will pay us back for the bailout. That's pretty much what happened (supposedly) with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Even though they didn't receive a loan and there wasn't really any language in the agreement that legally bound them to pay back the bailout. But really what happened is the government just took over these companies (via conservatorship), and so even though the bailout has been ended, we haven't really gotten our money back, the damage goes very far beyond the monetary bailout, and the housing market is worse than ever. The loan market is worse than ever.

So what I'm saying is, the terrible business acumen/literacy of politicians combined with the vast majority of them using elected office to further enrich themselves is often overshadowed by how tech literate they are and one of those things is far more dangerous in the long term. Because most young people might be tech literate to some degree but they aren't business savvy by and large so electing younger officials doesn't solve this problem.

Bernie doesn't have to be tech literate. But he should at the very least have the pattern recognition to put two and two together and see that this isn't the first time.
