Soo, and the kids are responsible and need to suffer for their parent's decision? You are one special repulsive asshole.

We used to have EDDs (etc) which companies could inform of their job openings, and people could go to them and find out about opportunities that matched their backgrounds. These evolved into places to get help with resumes and searches for jobs, but not with job listings themselves. While those are clearly needed functions, having a trusted source of job listings with a legal obligation not to needlessly disclose information about you to third parties was also valuable.

At least with a government program there is a reasonable possibility of useful oversight under some administrations. With private operators it always seems to go wrong for lack of transparency, as opposed to only most of the time.

My son still had to wait for the bus in the dark in the winter, just depends on if you live on the eastern or western part of the time zone.

I'd prefer permanent daylight savings because I'd rather have that extra hour of light in the evening.. but simply want the madness to end.

Indeed.

That moron? Visionaire? What are you smoking?

Always funny when the deniers turn out to be illiterate...

This isn't true. All you need is a lot more people than there is work for them to do for it to make sense. We're well past that, and very far into make work for the sake of employment. That's waste, i.e. inefficiency, and therefore worse than UBI because it requires resource consumption to maintain.

This is quite possibly true. If we don't learn to work together and control our government rather than having it controlling us, then UBI won't really make things better. It will only change how we are oppressed.

Assholes like Musk will never be willing to pay more taxes for something like this. People like him can never get enough. Hence he and others try to keep people quiet with "you will be cared for" until it becomes impossible to hide that this is a lie, but it will be too late to really do anything.

"Smart" != "moral". Some of the most evil fucks have been pretty smart. Obviously, to be a smart evil fuck, you have to ignore some things, but high intelligence does not come with the skill to apply it competently and equally to all questions that arise.

Not true at all. LLM-type AI is fare more limited as even the dumbest fuck. The only thing it has is a stellar knowledge base. But actually doing things? Not so good. And understanding things? Zilch.

All the people fawning over LLMs do not really understand them or what they can do. Essentially it is somewhat better search with an NLP interface. Nice, but not a game-changer.

Indeed. As a group, humans are incapable to sanely evaluate individuals. The ones with the most money and power are almost always the scammers and the scum.

Perhaps they can pay them to have it deleted. That's had great repercussions so far.

That crap is not even worth an answer. But thanks for identifying yourself as a clueless true believer.

Pick any two. I guess we know what choice Google made.

Most people want things to just work, and then they delude themselves into thinking they do even when they do not.

If I had a dollar for every person who I've seen join a 3d printing group and ask how they can print more than the models shipped on the machine, I could buy another printer. It's a desktop-sized industrial robot, not a games console.
