Comment Re: More job loss (Score 1) 250

A warehouse that needed 10 burly guys can now get by 2-3. Heck many can get by with one or two full time and 1-2 part time. Said business can easily shift tens of millions of dollars of equipment annually.

The same is holding true in the front office needing only 1-2 people for accounting.

And when you die in a fiery plane crash as an idiot UAV operator flew too close to a jet and got pulled into the engine during landing. Never mind that is illegal to operate there drone pilots can do it all.

I saw a drone video from inside a firework display and al I could think of does that idiot realize he is flying through a flak field and if just one firework hits the drone that drone is free falling back to the ground. Sure fireworks are poor flak by shooting cardboard, but Murphy is a tough bastard.

Because they became billionaires through luck ambition and pinching penny's. Not by doing cool things.

Also it is relative to the interests of the billionaire themselves. While most don't like Larry Ellison for oracle. Those billions are being spent on make awesome sailboats and doing major races with them for personal glory. Of course he is doing it the Larry Ellison way so some don't like him for it but the advances made in hull design over the last decade have been impressive.

Economists are finally getting concerned because AI can replace them.

when robots came for maids,i didn't cry out as I wasn't a maid
when robots came for factory workers, i didn't cry out as I wasn't a factory worker.
When computers came for book keepers, i didn't cry out as I wasn't a book keeper
now the machines are replacing politicians and lawyers and I cry all the time but no one tries to help me.

no no no the USA doesn't invade a country. Russia invaded Crimera and is still there.

the USA storms in messes up the place, kicks holes in the walls, maybe set some drapes on fire, and then brings in new drapes, and if you are lucky puts the furniture back into the correct orientation. We then empower the locals through bribes to continue working with us. While our soldiers head back home. Which then creates warlords that we have to mess up the place again in the future.

You see invasions mean our troops stay. in reality the USA marches in and marches back out again and again.

Not only that but apple has already testified they were contractedly obligated to fix those holes.

Lastly competitors used hacks and bugs in fair play to provide compatibility. By blocking competitors he was bug fixing too.

Lastly why didn't Microsoft's play for sure work with non Microsoft products?
