What more can you say really.
Nothing, because you will get arrested for saying it.
People want change.... but they will never elect the first black woman to be president.
Fuck off with that nonsense. Sure, there are plenty of people who are ignorant; however, a little over a decade ago, your argument was used against black people entirely and yet we had a black president. There are a few loudmouths who try to sway you with arguments EXACTLY like yours. Stop making the fucking argument and work on the solution. I would vote for Andrea Ocasio-Cortez (AOC, I can't really spell the name) or Jasmine Crockett LONG before I would vote for any other white man from either party. Both would be corrupted by power, the same as any other person, but at least they are starting from the right place.
Nintendo will give up the entire European market before they cede control over the USB port. This should be fun to watch... from the sidelines. Popcorn?
Until the rich suffer, nobody will do shit squat about it.
As a class, the rich will not suffer until every single "poor" is dead. Then, they will eat themselves.
If we could "fix" the moon or Mars, then we could fix the Earth easily.
Your point is valid but your logic is not. Creating something from scratch is FAR easier than fixing a complex balanced system. That is why we make babies and die. Reproduction is an easier problem to solve than long term maintenance.
the future looks bright indeed.
Very bright indeed. So bright, that the highest SPF sunscreen won't be able to protect you as other countrys realize we are led by incompetent, greedy, amoral morons and nukes start dropping. I am thinking maybe in 3 years now?
All of their monitoring and information gathering can only show them what it likely... and yet here they are, claiming lack of sales as actual losses. Pure insanity. Why the fuck do we let these guys tell us what to do?
When faced with a first line AI, like all sane folks who know better, I will conclude my interactions with said firm and write them off as hopelessly incompetent and susceptible to stupid fads.
So... you are recommending that the majority of the population stay unemployed due to principles? I can't really say that I disagree; however, billions of starving people won't go over very well... if they even have the principles to subject themselves to termination.
Not everyone can work in at your place of work and AI is being used across all industries for this crap.
but do not dismiss the fact they are standing atop a mountain of taxpayer funded R&D
Why? It is more profitable to forget that the past ever occurred.
Perspective changes everything. There is a reason all conquering civilizations try to completely erase the civilizations they have conquered.
Nobody wants to pay their debts.
Nearly all of Microsoft's Windows revenue comes from sales of computers with Windows pre-installed.

Um did you forget Microsoft Office exists? Offices a little more than twice as profitable as Windows...
Irrelevant. Office revenue has nothing to do with Windows revenue.
Dreaming of getting 30% of photoshop sales prices instead of 20 bucks for the os messed up a lot of their strategy. Of course it was unrealistic from the start but led to win8 and winrt and everything after that.
Not to be that guy, but I put the phrase you wrote "details of a man and wife who drove off a bridge because his GPS told him to" into Google and the second result was about the accident in Chicago 2015. YMMV.
That is because of OP's previous searching.*shrug* It will age out again.
Why can the masses not also utilize AI to their advantage, maintaining the status quo at a minimum.
I dunno. Give a millionaire an AI and give a billionaire an AI and who do you think is going to win in that struggle for power? You would be correct to insist that nothing is guaranteed; however, I know which way I would bet.
The actual jobs at risk are low-level, no-decision-power paper pushing jobs where mistakes do not matter a lot.
AI is too dangerous to use for nebulous decisions but it is fine if AI is inserted where the rubber meets the road. ROFL.
Living in a fantasy world is fine as long as someone or something is monitoring Reality to ensure you don't bump into Reality in unexpected ways.
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.
