Comment Re:Automated shopping... (Score 1, Interesting) 18

Some sociopaths view shopping  simply as a method for acquiring goods. Historically most humans shop  personally for the interaction with other (retail) humans ... a bizarre or street-market or restaurant  functions very much like this. Human to human interaction ranks primary;  exchange of value functions as  little more than "social grease".  Humans were fundamentally social beings ( not product consumers ) when Aristotle said so ... humans have not changed ... sociopaths and recluse excepted.

Sorry snowflake, nobody has a right to anything. If you're smart and disciplined and strong you just might rip bitch-Gaia a new asswhole and corral some value for personal exploitation. Or if you're a good-looking babe you might convince a male to provide a bit of his. But, RIGHT --- something that all-agree they should freely provide you --- such  entities do not exist. You want water and fuel --- then pay for water and fuel by personal effort or money. If you can't, then make-do or die off.

Comment Re:A bit win for capitalism (Score 1) 31

Capitalism produces value-from-labor greater than  slavery or guild/craft or communes. If you like a society with lots of "spare" value sloshing around waiting for the next bright idea then you chose a capitalist economy.  Otherwise you just survive, muddling-along until the next major  "extinction event".

For the broad legal community disbarment is just a "cost of doing business". Compare that "cost" to Intercepted Chinese fentanyl shipments , ICE raided migrant wage-slaves or Coast-Guard confiscated black-market Kenyon rhino horns. Damnation, even a black-hole horizon leaks one-way. The problem is the toleration of  AI agents at any non-local scale.

China systematically builds insecurity into every political relationship and any product they produce ... I suspect even a lump of  Chicom-iron right off the forge has an antenna and  transmitter built in. China by their own actions is unworthy of trust. So rejecting an explicit  chi-com infected surveillance mechanism is a no-brainer. Yes ... as if you didn't know ... only the paranoid survive.
