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.
The idea of a nation taxing a foreign company not operating within their borders for transactions with (or involving) their citizens is preposterous
Canada's money belongs to Canada. If a Canadian citizen wants to spend that money, the Canadian government is within its rights to demand that a tax be paid when that money is spent.
In order to do business in Canada, you have to agree to Canada's legal terms. One of those terms is that if you are collecting Canadian money, a tax needs to be paid on that expenditure. Now, it could be required that each citizen pay that tax for each transaction; which is difficult to enforce, so, the legal agreement is that the business collects those taxes and passes them on the Canadian government. The money NEVER belonged to the business to begin with. Asking for what is owed is NOT an overreach. Whining about owing a few billion dollars falls on deaf ears when you should have never thought that money was yours to begin with.
(that being said, the tax WAS indeed enacted as a form of "revenge", so, whatever.)
Why don't telecons maintain a database of legitimate towers and send an updated list to one's phone every week or so?
LOL, they participate in the surveillance, why would they make it easier to distinguish it?
Well, that is one way to view it. Another way is that an "executive order" (I refuse to capitalize these monstrous things) can take away every single Right that the Bill of Rights reserves for you and then YOU personally have to fight it... and that precedent will NOT apply to anyone else if you win back your rights.
In essence, only the wealthy and powerful will have Rights... at least until the supreme court (spit) speaks on the issue. Possibly decades down the line... or never.
If you treat anyone unfairly, you treat everyone unfairly.
Getting the balance right is something no one has yet done.
There is no balance. There is homeostasis, which is kind of a balance, but not really. Letting money grow into large pools, larger pools than the government itself manages, is a surefire way to destabilize homeostasis (government in this case).
Illegal immigrants don't have money. The people who hire the illegal immigrants do. Money is sacrosanct. Why is there any confusion about who is arrested and who pays the fines?
Local owners were NOT being discussed. If you follow the money, you will see that control of all products is limited to one or two pools of money. All of those brands? Same pool of money. All of those stores? Same pool of money. The local owner? Will be disposed of when convenient.
Tellingly, the Trump administration asked SCOTUS to stop injunctions against its birthright-citizenship campaign, rather than rule on its constitutionality. The analysis I read from news sources indicate this was a deliberate strategy, aimed at slowing down court action on the matter.
They don't care about birthright citizenship. They care about crippling the law so other "executive orders" can't be fought quickly. This was an astoundingly large blow against the Constitution. We were hanging on with 5 fingers above a thousand foot cliff. 3 of our fingers were just removed from holding on.
We are all immigrants (except the few remaining original inhabitants who we haven't killed.)
Wrong. You can't be an immigrant if you were born at that location. The people that we call "natives" also immigrated here, just a lot further back than the majority did. Your statement is only true from one perspective: from around 1500 AD.
What, are you just not going to have a printer?
Yes.
Bottomline: IQ is overrated.
I would argue that it is merely poorly understood and reacted to at face value only. No depth to the perceptions.
Look, my IQ has been tested and it is very high... and yet somehow or another, "normal" people show me to be quite stupid often enough to eliminate much of my ego.
I have met people an order of magnitude smarter than me... and yet somehow or another, I end up reminding them to be humble.
There is SOMETHING to IQ; however, all of us are too stupid to fully detail what exactly that something is. (I say all of us because I have yet to hear a coherent explanation of what is being measured and how it affects/effects the real world)
The basis for this type of audit request is typically that the right to perform audits was buried somewhere in the software licensing agreement that the customer "agreed to".
Since it is not possible to buy the software without also agreeing to the license, it is not REALLY an agreement. Any sane judge would strike it down as not being a "meeting of the minds".
It is outrageous that such clauses even exist. It is a step too far.
AI might increase productivity - but if you are more productive producing junk instead of quality products then you'll figure out that AI isn't the golden goose but a liability.
In a properly managed Capitalist society, you would be correct; people would just buy from a competitor.... however, when all products are owned/"sold" by the same pools of money, there is no competitor to go to, so it doesn't matter how crappy the product is, there just needs to be a product. This is the stage we are at now.
Friction is a drag.
