She always had them actually. The AT&T outfit hid them.

So he will get on his knees to suck off Artificial Intelligence billionaires instead of Super Intelligence billionaires like Trump. Take that MAGA!

I don’t know why anyone fucks with fast food these days. It’s expensive and mediocre. Plenty of local restaurants with better food in most towns.

She just can’t stand they are bigger and perkier than hers is all. Pure green envy.

Great article. Thanks.

Well put. This is just another version of the same old game. Over-leverage on hype, cash out, push the losses on the public, and the government cleans up the mess. 😡

“Morally binding” AKA Not actionable performative bull shit to appear to take warnings seriously.

No doubt.

Yeah, they’d give all that information to private companies to data mine us to death. Not to mention these right wingers are a bunch of eugenics nuts.

I’m not saying I agree with the narrative. I’m saying it will be attempted and will be a problem before the legal system can catch up and address it. We will also be talking international law, which is trickier, as countries jockey to make friendly laws to get AI cash like Argentina. Especially with the tech industry constantly suing and lobbying.

Credit cards are a trillion dollar industry. Fraud is already a massive issue and it’s only grew. More and more places are going cashless for easier accounting and lower incidence of local theft. I highly doubt it’s going anywhere. It will become more of a hassle for consumers though - no doubt.

This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.

Most people who say owning or investing income is the way to go started out with the means to make this obtainable in their life. Not saying you can’t work your way to that, but you will have to work hard to get there if you aren’t from circumstances where wealth is available to you through non-labor means. I find the majority of the people espousing this ethos the loudest are the “born on third base” types. They have a real need to justify their wealth as “earned.”

Hard pass.

It’s an ouroboros. The ultra wealthy finance state actors till they become rich (insider trading,etc), then they enter the private sector and become even more filthy rich by getting executive jobs or board seats to lobby the next state actor they can corrupt. I always follow the money, because there are very few true believers actually in power.

Why do you think every other billboard on the interstate is for some lawyer suing truckers? Then trucker insurance goes up and they pass that expense on to shippers and everything gets more expensive. Businesses don’t care because everything’s is owned by the same private equities anyway - so the rich get richer.

You think we would have learned this from school. When there’s no teacher in the room to watch the testing, some kids alway cheat. The more they get away with it, the more kids decide to cheat. This seems super basic, but somehow they still convince people “self regulation” works.

Billionaires are pouring infinite money into right wing movements. They have no scruples and can pay anyone they need to get what they want done. The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority. They also fund the power centers of the left to keep things from moving too far against them. Elections move on money far too much. In the end, you can’t have democracy and capitalism. Slowly capitalism always tries to swallow democracy.

The anti-trust collusion part seems correct but also fucking stupid. If the slow down is indeed for safety, fuck investors and users. What other product is sold with guarantees of a specific pace of development? Unless that’s explicit in the contract, how do they justify the suit on those grounds?

Years away but they’ll catch up quick if Taiwan gets absorbed by China which is looking more and more likely. Taiwan has lost faith in American backing for obvious reasons and the nationalist party is gaining steam for a deal with China.
