You can put in any demographic information you like, but does FB follow it.
For example, your IP address is from a 'poor' neighborhood.
Or, you don't have friends with any other high class FB users.

Welcome to 1984 and the memory hole.
Yea, but in a whole lot of places these cables are at risk anyway.
Let's take sea level rise out of the equation for a minute. That saves you right? Wrong. Places like the southern US coast are dependent on re-sedimentation to maintain (and grow) above sea level. Modern water management and bathymetry practices mean that is not going to occur. Even if humans were good little stewards of CO2, the coast is still sinking, and will keep sinking as sediment compaction occurs over the next few hundred million years.
The ocean is not static. The land is not static. If we want to avoid replacing cables around the ocean due to land level/sea level changes, starting an ice age is about the only solution. An extremely stupid solution at that.
>Like, to kill, you need a weapon.
Until I choke you with my bare hands.
Weapons just make it easier for anyone to kill anyone else. Otherwise its the strongest that get to choose who to kill.
>There are already people who can 'grade' old jeans, who look at thread, rivets, the label and the cut to determine a pair of jeans is authentically vintage.
Yea, but i've already replaced them with an AI vision system that does that for less.
>meant that "unemployment" numbers were being fudged and misreported.
I'm pretty sure you're correct, as today a report was released showing "over-employment" by the jobs numbers, along with very low increases in wages. If real over-employment were occurring wages would inflate rather rapidly. Now we are seeing the lie behind the number of unemployment.
What, increasing the obesity rate of the population by 33% has side effects?
This is where you turned off your brain...
It doesn't matter if AI cost 1 billion dollars, because, much like processor development it is spread over how ever many millions of units you sell.
>It needs to be cheaper than Human labor to be useful because we live in a scarcity-driven world.
Yes, the materials to make robots/computers are soooooo scarce. Uh, no not really. See the thing about AI/computers is you can turn them off. Humans keep eating, shitting, and taking up climate controlled space. Over the entire cost of ownership, the retarded robot will be far cheaper than the retarted person. That's why factories are full of machines now, and the humans are disappearing from the assembly line.
