Bet they don’t get bailed out. AI isn’t an important American industry with tens of thousands of employees like the auto giants. AI isn’t the backbone of our financial system like banks. To top it off, using taxpayer money to bail AI companies would be political suicide for either party.
Point 3 is the Buffet Index. In 1929 and 2007 it was at 130%. Guess where that extra 100% comes from. AI companies and AI speculation. We are so fucked.
We’ll happily consume anything that hates on AI.
Everything, often even the PSU, is now baked onto a single board.
You made the same exact statement yesterday and got buried in downvotes. Man, this fucking place sometimes…
Yep! If this would be a meritorious case, I’d bet lawyers would be salivating over it. There are also plenty of firms working for our collective good, pro bono. Witness Elias Law who is slam dunking voter rights cases, wins in state after state, not sure they’ve lost one.
IANAL, but EULAs are mostly enforceable in the US as they’re contracts. BUT, not every provision is a slam dunk win for the company. As I understand it, much law is decided on what a “reasonable person” would act, think or find fair at the moment action was taken, such as clicking “I Agree”. Would such a person expect the EULA to provide for spying on their voice and snapshotting their private viewing? Dunno, but I’d love to see a test case move forward.
Someone should sue on behalf of a minor, who cannot agree to a contract, or another third-party in the home who did not agree. Bet there’s case law on this sort of thing in other contexts.
If you think it’s bad now, come on over and we’ll take my time machine to 1988 when I started. My friend taught me walking around the indoor mega mall.
Doctors aren’t making corporate vape ads. There are no ads at the movies and on TV. People aren’t openly vaping indoors and their way to the vape vending machine. Vapes are a whole different deal than old-time cigarettes. And kids sure aren’t vaping with teachers in the vape hole between classes.
Gotta admit, I got a grin thinking someone out there find the two comparable. You should have seen the 80s after smoking was “dialed down”!
Wow! I remember the thing but never knew all the dirty deals.
Steve Heckler’s quote on Napster sounds like Churchill after Dunkirk, “…we shall fight the users, we shall fight in the firewalls, we shall fight the cable companies and the phone companies, we shall fuck up your PC; we shall never surrender…”
Who says he doesn’t have a second vehicle? Looks like he does to me, but I don’t watch the asshole too closely or I’ll get the cops called on me again.
Fridge died and I lost nothing but ice production for a couple of days. Loaded everything into coolers I’d found and fixed up, along with the ice and freezer packs. Found another cooler tonight! Needs the telescoping handle fiddled with and cleaned out. Yet another example of stupid consumerism. That same cooler is $45 at Dollar General. I’ll have 20-minutes of work in it and zero dollars.
Fridge died after the hurricane last week. Again, we lost nothing. Went to my camp in the swamp and grabbed my crappy Harbor Freight generator and powered 5 houses worth of fridges for my neighnbors.
If your risk tolerance is low, handyman skills low and bank account high, sure, buy new shit.
“they are racked with insecurity or anxiety”
That would explain much of what I see on social media. Are you saying they don’t know their place in society and that’s stressful?
The environmental abuses are pretty slim compared to hundreds of other human activities. People only got excited because they saw their bills go up in some cases. Golf courses for example use far more water. While estimates are all over the place they range from 2x to 5x to 40x, but in any case, fewer people are bitching.
Meanwhile, we’re draining the Colorado river for alfalfa (24% of yearly water use) and export shitloads of it.
We’re so fucking dumb, our very first amendment to the Constitution gives us the right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” We should amend that so people wanting to band together for a given cause can get bent. How about that?
Trump’s claims of election rigging as so dumb because they can’t even come up with a plausible way it could have happened. We have 90,000 polling places, across 50 states, all of whom run elections their own way. There’s no central database to hackerman. Best anyone could possibly do is maybe sway the local dog catcher election. Maybe.
So, you also cannot discern the difference in traditional DCs and AI DCs? I feel like you know and I’m missing something.
I’m a bit torn. He might have lost a great thing, but she came out the gate lying. It wasn’t a “big” lie, as-in a lie that would turn out to hurt him, but still…
At that age and a little latter, I dated girls 8-10 years my junior. That was perfectly normal with Gen X. The age gap doesn’t concern me, the lie concerns me very much.
Made a comment the other day about hardware companies making out while the software companies lose. Somebody figured out how to sell razor blades instead of the new super-hyped MEGA™ razors.
