if they win they become God-Kings who's slightest whim is made real to the limits of human civilization.

If they lose they just go to their graves insanely wealthy.

There is a *very* small chance they get thrown out of a window or poisoned by a Stalin or a Mao, but it's very, very unlikely. They have their own private armies to protect them.

Yep. Or "We will make our product worse until profits go up!"
Fascinatingly, this works sometimes, at least for a while. Look at Microsoft for a current example.

It is. That is why things like this stupid "Code Red" work. It is all just about who pretends better that their product actually has merit (or will have merit soon, promise!) beyond the few it can actually do well.

Yep, kind of feels like it.

I agree. Well, you cannot get everything out and specific things like, say, SSN or more common health problems, can be blanked out with patterns. But misspell the name of the condition you have or describe it instead of using its name and you are already screwed in most cases. And names, quasi-identifiers of people, etc. are basically impossible to recognize reliably.

Hence what needs to be done here is also that anybody working on the data needs to be under oath to not leak any personal data and all processing must be done on isolated infrastructure. Obviously, that makes things slower and more expensive.

Training data, issue diagnosis, market research, targeting data for ads, probably to sell it to others at some time.

Such a shame. I think we should be "tough on crime" on these people!

"This article explores the issue of a "Jobless Recovery" mainly from a heterodox economic perspective. It emphasizes the implications of ideas by Marshall Brain and others that improvements in robotics, automation, design, and voluntary social networks are fundamentally changing the structure of the economic landscape. It outlines towards the end four major alternatives to mainstream economic practice (a basic income, a gift economy, stronger local subsistence economies, and resource-based planning). These alternatives could be used in combination to address what, even as far back as 1964, has been described as a breaking "income-through-jobs link". This link between jobs and income is breaking because of the declining value of most paid human labor relative to capital investments in automation and better design. Or, as is now the case, the value of paid human labor like at some newspapers or universities is also declining relative to the output of voluntary social networks such as for digital content production (like represented by this document). It is suggested that we will need to fundamentally reevaluate our economic theories and practices to adjust to these new realities emerging from exponential trends in technology and society."

It'll be about 3-5 years but more or less.

That's how long analysts think the AI build out will last. It's why nobody is building more capacity.

the reason gas prices have been stable is we keep pushing for more fuel economy keeping demand down. EVs help some too, but the huge push for fuel economy is why the national average is only $3/gallon.

Not a mathematically sound decision to try and grab the bull debt by the balls and find a point somewhere in the shit.

Obama almost doubled Americas debt during his term, and the DEI regime was burning through trillions (plural) every year.

If the billionaires were actually smart, they would have found a way to curb their incessant Greed and find balance in Capitalism to keep the peace they need.

They're so blinded by greed that they fail to realize they're the first on the fucking menu after the collapse they're creating. A person can easily defeat an ant. That same person can easily be defeated by underestimating what a few hundred million ants will do.

* glances over at the combined fiscal and narcissistic worth of the Pelosis, Clintons, and OBidens *

Maybe if it were only slightly less blatantly fucking obvious..

Bankruptcy is a scared child pissing themselves in the corner compared to a $38 trillion dollar debt monster.

Those who try and blame Trump for Americas debt will likely Make Asylums Great Again in order to treat long-TDS. We will see if that happens before liberalism succumbs to its own cannibalism.

I'm saying that those people aren't going down without a fight, and they'll kill a lot of the people who try to kill them.

When the violence starts we all get dragged into it. Nobody gets to sit back and watch the 'parasites' get taken out to their amusement. It doesn't work like that.

Although about 30-40% of the country seems to think it does.
