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.

You infer it when you complain, down talk other people’s hard work that they are doing for free, and don’t offer any solutions. You know. On a public forum.

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.

I wanted to make sure I wasn’t talking to someone who just went off the base headlines without actually looking into the proposal first.

I don’t agree with Bernie Sanders’ plan. It was obvious to me when I read the first article that he doesn’t understand the technology, but the more important thing is that he doesn’t seem to have followed the money. The way stocks and services are being traded to inflate some companies while keeping other failing companies solvent is the whole reason this is a bubble. What the proposal doesn’t seem to account for (that I’ve read) is that if this tech doesn’t become profitable in a mainstream way the tax payers (who are already very likely to lose savings, retirement investments, and jobs) will still be on the hook for the debt and will actually see no benefit from the short term pump of the stock in these companies.

I voted for Bernie in the primary. I think he and a lot of other politicians are too old for the roles they currently hold. But if I’m honest I don’t think this is just about old people not understanding tech. At least, it’s not exclusively old people. There are so many people my age and younger who don’t understand this tech or the economics and business practices behind it, and they are more than willing to trust it blindly.

Did you read the proposal?

Yeah. Thats the thing about all the investment. I don’t want my 401K or any of anyone’s retirement invested in AI either but that’s been happening since the beginning by proxy.

So now the government wants to let them gamble with my taxes too and everyone should know the plan is to leave regular people holding the bag and paying off the debt. Debt larger than most countries GDP. The rich gambled. Let them lose.

It doesn’t have wealth. It has debt.

Something something disco inferno.

Very well. My mistake.

At least they’re (Valve) being proactive, not allowing people who can’t get a PSN account to buy the games.

Beep at least actually does puppet this account (even though they have several accounts).

Well. Besides Google who are paying for the privilege.
