The more I think about it, the more I suspect it’ll be completely by accident. Some AI designed drug will pass all trials, get approved, be used for years or decades only to find out that some bit of it kind of acts like a generic prion that affects all life. Oh, and that bit also passes right through you, too, so by the time they figure it out, the pseudo-prion is already out there in the wild, infecting fish and other aquatic creatures. And before long the ecosystems of the world’s oceans and lakes collapse. Meanwhile land animals also start dying off due to their drinking supply being polluted by it, so a full scale ecological collapse begins. As the pseudoprion sticks around indefinitely, every attempt by nature to evolve new life ends because of it. Eventually it gets buried by all the detritus of time and new life does once again rise only to have humanity’s ticking time bomb waiting in the ground for something to dig it up and start the whole cycle all over again…

What makes you think they’ll be neutered? You think China is going to stop what they’re doing with them because the US might do something stupid? The genie is out of the bottle.

If you can type so fast that USB 1.0 isn’t fast enough, keyboards are not the interface for you.

It’s streets ahead, though.

No? Because despite what they said they were still companies. All those words about not being evil, etc, etc, etc were just PR, nothing else.

As someone trapped in this shithole of a state, can confirm that Texas would be going after people with this law.

You gotta pay the troll toll, if you wanna get into that boy’s hole!

Spoofing mobile is at least an order of magnitude harder than spoofing wifi. It pretty much guarantees that those who spoof mobile are either government agencies or people with enough money your pathetic little bank account is irrelevant to them.

That’s for now. It is only a matter of time until spoofing mobile is at least as easy and cheap as spoofing wifi is now.

To add to this. DOSes existed going back to the 60s. IBM had DOSes for it’s System/360 mainframes back in '64.

I agree with you up until the “hates employees” part. You’re mistaking indifference for hate. The system doesn’t give a shit about anyone who is not a capital owner collecting more capital. The plight of anyone outside of that group means nothing to the system.

There were never morals and ethics in company policies. Ever. The only time something that seems moral and ethical happens in corporate policies is either through happenstance or a law forces them to be that way.

This has two effects. First, it is supposed to entice with a “cheap” option. Second, it normalizes ads being part of the experience.

A lot of search results still take me to Reddit. It is still a source of knowledge.

So typical rich tech bro.

Conservative ideology is based on bigotry. Always has been. The fact the Republican party has so easily and wholeheartedly embraced white supremacists, misogynists, rapists, etc, proves the point. Indeed, the de facto leader of conservatism in the United States proudly embodies all those things and more. All the while he is the clear leader in their presidential candidate race without even having to participate in the process. It is impossible to extricate conservatism from bigotry - if you’re a conservative in the US you are a bigot either directly or through association. You know, the ol’ ten people and a Nazi having dinner is 11 Nazis having dinner.

Yep. Other than thrill seekers, the only reason any business does something is for the money. If you can go, “Hey, you don’t need to spend $12k on a new battery pack! Bring it down to Bubba’s Batteries Bazaar and we can fix it for less!”, you will get business.

I’d be willing to bet it has less to do with the article not being available in India and that it is available at all. Let’s be honest, geoblocking is a joke, especially for a news outlet. Therefore, if Reuters wants to do business in India, one of the world’s largest markets, they have to take it down everywhere. Now, if I ran a news service that wrote an article they didn’t like and since I’m not doing business in India, I would have the power to tell them to go pound sand. Assuming they didn’t decide to go the route of burying me in legal fees here in America by hiring American lawyers to do so, that is.

Since a pilot is mainly only needed for take off and landing 99.9% of the time, I’d bet not much longer. Getting from an to the ground are the hard parts. Even then, during optimal conditions, you probably don’t even need the pilot, so it’s likely you’ll get pilots monitoring multiple aircraft from take off to landing and only interceding when an emergency arises. In time it’d probably become something they can do from their own homes. Then after they’ve collected enough data and trained the AI with it, they’ll be able to do away with the human pilot altogether.

Any task humans do that don’t rely on smell or taste you can train an AI to do. The problem is no longer if you can make a machine smart enough to do it, the problem now is do they have enough data to train it. By making pilots remote they’ll be able to gather that data easily. Once we develop sensors that can perfectly mimic taste and smell, humans will only be needed for manual labor.

Our modern economy and world are built on the need for wage stagnation. Unfortunately that only lasts so long and we’re reaching the end of it. That is going to come with a massive correction that is going to be pretty painful for the masses because the last thing the rich want to do is not be making as much money. So how they handle it will determine whether they live through it or find out what it’s like to be looking at the inside of the basket at the end of a guillotine.

Back in the day I’d use UUCP over dial up to the local university to get email and my chosen usenet groups. Ah, the nostalgia of coming home to find my Amiga’s floppy had run out of room…
