I don't, and you don't understand the argument. Their business plan is simply not viable and they should fuck off and someone with a viable business plan should use the space they were wasting.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

That's interesting to know. I never spent a lot of time with NeXTStep, though I have played with it a little bit. I think I have a VM for an x86 version around here somewhere, but it was a little crashy in a way that the 68k machines weren't and I don't know which piece's fault that is. I spent more time with OS X, but not a whole lot, so I didn't get that far into it.

Most of the vehicles sold internationally meet **EU** safety standard. Standards which are almost always higher than those here in the US.

(Even more so today, in fact, since Trump has been busy cutting back US agencies ability to actually do what they're tasked to do.)

But yeah, convince yourself that they're all cheap low-quality garbage and that fat-assed American SUVs and pickup trucks are exceptional....

"The problem is that according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language -- and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own..."

Complete bullshit:

"according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language"

False, but so what? LLMs are "largely independent of human language" as well.

"...and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own..."

But LLMs are not about "ever more sophisticated modeling of language", or even modeling of language at all. This guy is a fool, there are plenty of here, including me, that are highly skeptical of most AI claims, but this here is ignorant bullshit.

The illusion of intelligence evaporates if you use these systems for more than a few minutes.

Using AI effectively requires, ironically, advanced thinking skills and abilities. It's not going to make stupid people as smart as smart people, it's going to make smart people smarter and stupid people stupider. If you can't outthink the AI, there's no place for you.

As long as some little bitch keeps modding down my factual posts

All the extraneous bullshit Microsoft added to the start menu is always lurking in memory for performance reasons.

Fear of facts is a sign of cowardice

School issued devices often don't permit installing arbitrary apps, only those on the approved list.

Most iPhone owners didn't buy them outright. They got them "free" with their plan. Consequently out in the real world I commonly see people with old iPhones with cracked screens. They can't afford to replace them, we don't have an Apple store anywhere near here, etc.

The tariff revenues are needed to cover the tax cuts for the wealthy instituted at the same time, so no.

"An employer can only pay the workers what their output is worth, so if your industry is producing things that are difficult to sell, then you're not going to get a good paying job"

You're blaming the victim. If the employer's plan doesn't include paying a reasonable wage then their plan is crap and they need to go out of business so that someone with a better plan can succeed them.

"The experience of Detroit should be a warning to those who believe that this economic law can be avoided; the car makers sold the same stuff year after year whilst Japanese and German producers made ever better stuff."

That's not because they couldn't do better. They chose not to and depended on regulatory capture instead, preventing others from bringing more superior products to the market. Again it's the employer's fault and no one else's.

We would but America has a giant Butt-Plug in the Oval Office right now. Maybe the next election will contact Roto-Rooter for removal of that obnoxious obstruction.
