"It's cheaper to pay off all the wrongful death lawsuits than it is to add a $2 part to a Pinto to keep the gas tank from exploding in a rear-end collision." -- Ford executives

They are biding their time until they have robo taxis and won't have to rely on though unreliable humans who keep raping customers any more. Seriously, Uber was temporarily using desperate humans to build an infrastructure which would change very little with non-human drivers.

Which is stuipid, since there is a gate a half my from my house that delivery can't go through, so no delivery service can make it to my house. They could leave it at the gate and hope I get to it before the critters do, but if I have to travel a half mile to get my food, I might as well travel all the was to the restaurant, don't you think? I also keep yelling at my daughter for using Doordash (since I'm paying for her food), although she claims she usually picks it up herself instead of paying someone $10 to deliver it.

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." - George Carli

Wouldn't that give the data collectors a huge incentive to NOT report any leaks?

Because corporations have MORE rights than you do, obviously!

Every time I apply for a job, I have to send them a copy of my driver's license to prove my idea. Likewise, when somebody claimed on Facebook that I was impersonating myself, I had to send Facebook a copy of my driver's license (which they misread, since it was last name first, and changed my Facebook ID to lastname firstname middle name). So it would be trivially easy to solicit job applications and collect DL scans.

I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

You're not the target audience. The companies getting tired of paying $50K for tokens are the target audience. Believe me, the hardware cost is trivial compared to how much the AI companies are raping businesses for.

Do you believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet???

AI can replace the jobs that can be done by idiots?!?

You are correct, like all the tech bubbles, there will be a few companies that survive the bubble pop and go on to become the next Microsoft. But 95% of them are destined for bankruptcy. AI has non-zero market value, we just haven't really figured out what that value is.

"US$ 6,858,947 pledged of US$ 1,500,000 goal"??? Damn, girl! Always outperforming expectation!

Thanks for the good news, I can't wait for a The Guild movie!

NO company should be allowed to be "too big too fail". If you're too big to fail, then immediate antitrust breakup of your company should be mandatory. Are the people implementing the circular finance scheme creating the bubble expecting to get rich on the government bailout? Absolutely! They assume if the government spent tax dollars to cover the billionaire's losses before, they will do it again. I'm sticking to my original strategy: don't invest anything in crypto or AI.

For every dollar invested, he purchased 5 dollars worth of stock. When the stock went up, they claim fantastic returns. When the stock went down, they had to sell all their shares leaving them with zero assets. That's not called investing, that's called gambling!
