For a person to enjoy "toy pet projects" is indeed the definition of a "broken brain". Mature, discerning adults distinguish between deep-but-ignored problems and a cultural narcotic.
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.

Real Scottsmen entangle themselves with artiface ( music/painting/sculpture/dance etc ) as "logo" of its human creator. Mechanical and electrical machines cannot share what they do-not have. No human creator no art.

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.

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.

Thank G*d you have Hondas. Drove a 2003 Ford focus until it crapped-out at 120,000 miles ... with a dozen semi-major issues. My 'trusted' mechanic said he didn't want to waste my money working on it.

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.

Solly Charlie. Greed like violence is "bone deep" in the human species. Noble savages never existed. Several stone-age fields of slaughter have been found while the historical drum-beat never ends, Greed may be managed/mitigated , but never eradicated.

Well spoken. AI in all its varieties IS over-hyped. With human reasoning/creativity it's turtles all the way down. With current AI you get the top shell and nothing, but word-salad beneath it.
