A large percentage of the world’s population has experienced government interference including and beyond who can own what. It is very possible to happen, and thinking otherwise, respectfully, is unfortunately what helps it make happen.
You are both right. That’s what they want, and that’s what we need to resist. Because without active resistance they will try to prevent you from owning things (which today they can’t yet).
This works if most people don’t have an autonomous car too, so they are forced to rent one. The business case for this is such level of poverty where most people cannot afford owning a car; and then a petty rentier class exploiting them for pennies. Welcome to neo-feudalism.
“look at me and the scary beast I brought to life! Look at me!” No Geoffrey, the scary beasts are Sam Altman and his ilk, who would have used anything to hype the fading tech industry up. LLMs were just the thing that happened to be that “anything”.
Please, waste your money on something that needs several football fields big heat radiators per gigawatt. And cannot replace a hard drive without launching a technician into space.
as is tradition. Time to convert to new traditions.
they gambled and lost and now taxpayers pay their gambling bills
economy über alles
I too was wondering what’s going on there. My bet is it’s his sock with a hole. Wouldn’t take him for a man who wears red socks. Maybe it’s his pantyhose.
“plan to” why plan? Just do it.
Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.
Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.
sadly , that’s a plausible explanation
“it can be blamed on personal responsibility” so, this equals to “magic box says you are a bad person”, at which point the magic box could just be a single “are we in business relationship with this person, yes or no?” decision. This was my point. You don’t need complicated machinery if you know what results you want out of it.
In the past the magic box was called God, or nation or clan, now it is called AI. There’s always a puppeteer behind the box, so why bother actually wasting resources on the internals of the box.
At this point, why do they care about predicting crime? Can’t they just say “everyone is guilty, unless they are friends in business relationship with us.”
Making money hasn’t been the goal for some time. Fascists have realized that the planet won’t be able to sustain more than ~1billion people, very soon. They are hogging resources, land, water, etc through datacenters and other means to become the judge of who lives and who dies. And they will decide based on “eugenical” (aka racist, ableist, other-ist) factors for the plebs, and of course every CEO and investor wants to be on the panel instead of being judged by the panel. That’s why the seemingly panicky decisions.
They are right about the planet.
It’s on us to get to 1billion through more peaceful, controlled, multi-generational ways for the common people, and starting by punishing fascist behavior with the necessary consequences.
This fucker should only make the news when he starts his long term prison sentence.
Hey, let’s stick an atomic bomb to a bait! That’ll get rid of the pest!
Captures the conservative brain defect perfectly: “I have no sense of ethic and also make shitty decisions, therefore I externalize those things to the authoritarian structure. Moreover I think that everyone is like me, and therefore my definition of criminal behavior is if you don’t externalize and don’t subject yourself to the structure.”
Day will come when leftfascists and rightfascists hang in a perfect harmony
Most people in East Europe in the 1930-es didn’t think it likely that the rest of the century will be spent under the yoke of various dictatorships. Most people in Weimar Germany didn’t think that the Nazis are a serious threat. There are probably other examples I am less familiar with.
