And?

Isn't it a fake race with fake metrics? We have companies sinking many billions of dollars into some vague development of AI, but without concrete goals or definitive plans to turn that investment into revenue.

I guess if someone wants to declare themselves the winner, they'll simply have to be the one that burned the most capital on this boondoggle.

Look, if someone makes a mistake abd owns it. We learn from it and move on. If your business is destroyed by a single person's slip up, then perhaps you are not that serious of a business.

The absolutely toxic corporate culture that firing someone is a reasonable first step is why millions of office workers are paralyzed with fear over losing their job. You are not trash to throw away, you're a person that society has invested thousands of dollars and hours into childhood and education.

In reality, people should be let go if there is a pattern of behavior that other measures have failed to correct. Like if they aren't completing tasks, behaving in an unprofessional way, making costly mistakes frequently, etc.

We're still in the dark ages when it comes to social development. Humanity has a long way to go before we can competently wield the power that we now possess.

Is Homer's car the economy or our democracy or both?

Mobile games are designed to stimulate and addict people, with sounds, lights, and fake rewards. It's the productionization of a Skinner box. And I don't even mean that as a metaphor. The experiment is to collect marketing research on the end-user.

Slashdot on the other hand is designed to annoy and depress the end user. It's a dissatisfaction machine. It builds the user's ennui up until they either rage quit/delete or turn into elaborate trolls.

Anyone under 25 needs to be using their hands, eyes, and brain to build themselves up into people capable of handling the reality of working. Rather than vegging out on a flashing stimulate making device, and disengaging their brain and their humanity.

It doesn't matter if we're talking about the 21st century where you likely will find jobs that need some or a lot of computer skills. Or if we're talking about 20,000 BCE where you'd be running along the Savannah gathering food and avoiding lions. People need years of constant practice in order to build up the skills they need to thrive. And your little brain evolved in developing those skills in meatspace, not cyberspace. We literally have no idea what would happen if people disconnected from reality and lived virtually. They'd probably not thrive, and would unlikely be an asset to society in the long run.

We are not.

He's a man with a great deal of experience and works with many kinds of people. By "work" I mean he's ripped of so many kinds of people. Construction workers, lawyers, bankers, ... pretty much anyone that tries to deal fairly with Trump will get stung in the end.

The greatest threat to Trump himself is that fascism is like a drug to people with a narcissistic personality. Can we even blame him for falling into it, it's in his nature to be this way. It was cruel of us to have elected a man that can't handle a position of power. Feeding and support his delusions in order for him to feed us our delusions is the codependent relationship that apparently 48% of us crave.

So now we're running America like a business. But one-third of businesses fail in their first 2 years, so that seems like bad odds compared to what we had for 250 years before. And what happens when a business fails? The government takes over and divides up the assets, generally through a civil process. When a country fails there is another process that starts with the word civil and ends with the word war.

State ownership is also a feature of fascism. It's coupled to the feature that fascist protect businesses that give them power.

A generation that has been coasting on the mobilization of industry during WW2. Then we spent four (six?) decades destroying our industrial capacity for short term profit taking.

Good job, living the life while leaving your grandchildren worse off.

Reagan wasn't really a Republican either. Lincoln was probably turning in his grave when the GOP made Reagan their party mascot.

You get to choose fascist-flavored imperialism or slightly embarrassed imperialism.

Plus nvidia are targeting bitcoin/llm users while gamers take a back seat.

Simple solution to that, give the Ukrainian government control/access to the services operating over their territory. Provide them the tools and let them make the mistakes.

Technology of the time made accurate targeting very difficult and far more dangerous. Even today, accurate weapons are significantly more expensive than inaccurate ones.
