There will be winners and losers but a lot of people are anticipating that when the winners come out on top there's going to be a huge amount of infrastructure that we get to take and use for things like heating and cooling our houses.

But those winners didn't go away and they are still going to be using those data centers to replace White collar jobs which is the entire point of this exercise.

That means we're not going to get all that free cheap electricity capacity. All we're going to get out of this is a massive Wall Street crash where they start firing Us in Mass to boost their stock prices.

We need to do something about that but we're paralyzed by stupidity, bigotry and an overwhelming urge to prevent anyone from having a happy life without being miserable a minimum of 40 hours a week.

I'm open the solutions but when I've asked the solutions people just bring up Ubi which is a pipe dream. You don't have the political power to push it through and if by some miracle you did the payouts would just be absorbed by monopolies jacking up prices.

Ubi is a classic example of a Band-Aid on a gaping wound. And I have not seen a single other solution proposed.

I do still see a lot of thought terminating cliches though. Although I think everyone is given up on yelling buggy whip at me.

If we spend $5 trillion dollars on new cities and houses and roads instead of replacing as many white collar workers as possible?

Remember folks the product here is not funny little videos. The product is replacing trillions of dollars worth of wages. The funny little videos are just there to get you to interact while they train up the AIs.

We are literally going to shift our entire civilization to one where a small group of people have their every need and want satisfied to the limits of human capacity while everyone else lives in abject poverty commonly associated with the worst of the American Indian reservations or parts of Africa.

That is at least the current plan. A return to feudalism. And I really don't see anything that stops it.

This isn't like when you lost your job at the buggy whip factory and went to work at the car factory. There is no car factory. It's entirely run by robots.

And as a added reminder 25% unemployment was enough to trigger two world wars. Yeah we don't have the same colonial militaries anymore like we did back then but we have a lot of economic colonialism that's going to break down. As it does countries will switch back to military imperialism to get what they want. Only this time we have nuclear weapons.

It's nonsense to get us talking about Apple and it worked because here we are talking about apple. It's a silly marketing campaign.

This is what's called outrage farming. And it's a huge part of why our civilization is collapsing.

Outrage farming should be an occasional bit of funny nonsense which to be fair this is but it's not just an occasional bit of funny nonsense anymore it's a multi-billion dollar industry.

Remember all those videos of people getting into altercations on airplanes? Several of them were staged. I don't mean staged in the airplane I mean literally on a set.

We really need to start teaching critical thinking in schools directly but we're not going to do that because critical thinking skills get used against elites and actual elites not the imaginary ones you hear about that run the women studies departments in community colleges. Like billionaires and wealthy bishops and those kind of assholes. Those guys are not going to let you teach kids how to think critically.

And it can be taught and learned. You don't have to just blunder into it by sheer luck.

Each function could be loaded the first time the user uses it. The device has to be online to query what is in stock at any given moment anyway. And I'd be interested in others' speculation about why the client side of the most widely used functions can't all fit in (say) 5 MB, which is twice the size of Doom.

I accept that, adding a clarification that I suggested the solution for the purpose of asking other people what these companies might know that I don't.

Seriously if you don't connect your TV to the internet all of this AI smart bullshit is irrelevant.

Honestly I have an old Vizio because I have old game consoles hooked up to it and they work surprisingly well because lots of people were still hooking up old game consoles to flat panels back in the day. I'm not trying to recreate moment 37 of evo or 1ccing Mushihime-sama so a frame or two of lag isn't noticeable to me.

Now explain how the noblemen is doing the herdsmen a kindness by charging them rent.

Also, in NYC, explain the chronically vacant commercial space (hint, no rent control).

Woke is just DEI which is just SJW which is just political correctness which is just desegregation.

The governor of California said it best, anti woke is just anti-black.

When you strip everything away it's just the same mistake we made back in the 1800s when we didn't finish reconstruction in the south. What historians here call the original sin of America.

To be honest it's not a uniquely American problem. The same trick for dividing people into easily manageable groups is done all across the globe. Japan has the burakumin, China has the uyghur, India has its caste systems etc etc.

Where are you seeing anti-china war mongering? I haven't seen it.

The population has been dropping three straight years, I don't know where you found that AI site.

As for the economy, the article and even the summary says clearly:

It's an indication of economic retraction.

Traditional Saudi Arabian architecture is based around keeping things cool. Like the high walls in this building complex keep everything in the shade, and retain the coolness from the night as much as possible (because hot air rises, the cool air stays in the building). At the same time, it still allows natural light which overall makes a very comfortable effect.

Having a line allows you to enforce hierarchy. The people at one side will never want to go to the other side, that's where the lower class people are.

Jesus sees you.

You don't just take away privacy or decent wages or job security or healthcare all at once. You got to boil that frog.

Here in America it took us 65 years. This whole mess we're in started when Barry Goldwater lost. The corporate wing of the Republican party formed in alliance with the racists and the religious extremists. We were explicitly warned about it but we ignored the warnings.

Wikipedia officially requires articles to summarize their sources from a neutral point of view. However, Wikipedia did become overtly political with the PROTECT IP blackout of January 18, 2012, in protest of a proposed law seen to threaten Wikipedia's existence.

The first time you add a website to your home screen, it installs the website's service worker. You have to use the Internet for that, just as you have to use the Internet to download an application from Apple's App Store.

And I'm curious about what the blockers for even a partial PWA implementation have been during each of these 12 years.

All I've been asking is what features of Grab combined with missing features of PWA likely led to their continuing to choose native apps.

I don't see where I "assume[d] to know better than Grab".
