"We cannot be fair or stop engaging in anti-competitive practices without stressing the negatives and making sure people know it's always bad to regulate us."

...but it will come after all the accountants lose their jobs because everyone will replace them with Excel.

But jokes aside I think the real coming jobs apocalypse is in the C-suite....because they can be replaced with dispassionate, delusional AI for a fraction of the cost.

AI that doesn't sleepy. Doesn't bitch about the bonus structure. Doesn't discriminate based on liking someone's face and doesn't try to sleaze their way into the hot office chick's skirt.

Maybe we should all start companies ruled by workers that take *advice* from AI as a tool rather than tolerate dictatorship from a bunch of predictable corporate assholes?

..mthebissue with being a store of value is that even if it's so in principle it also needs to be secure in fact. Don't hear a lot of stories about million in gold being stolen...

... because I thought I'd be some kind of grumpy old man surrounded by young people that didn't get me.

Now I am relieved to know that I will be a grumpy old man surrounded by grumpy old people that don't get me.

...then it's unfair. Oh no China subsidised it's auto industry and now we can buy cheap cars. So unfair because other cars are expensive...

Well maybe spend less on CEO bonuses and stock buybacks and make cheaper cars. Get your government to help subsidise your industry - but wait a moment they already do that in other sectors so slap some tariffs and ban competition. Like true capitalists.

I mean lost of kids finish school at the same time...

Can I do a mission to earn a reward pack that might unlock instrumentation views or is it only available by loading up my Hyundai roulette account?

I am excited for side quests to earn skins.

...and to get close to AGI we have to use as much resources as an entire country in power and compute.

Soon you'll be able to spend £200,000 a month to send email CLOSE to human intelligence.

This is my beef with AI companies it's all great and interesting BUT how much does it really cost? How soon will the cost actually make replacing basic functions performed by people be economically sustainable?

I'm asking because in the 80s they said robots will replace humans from anything like flipping burgers to the battlefield...and we're just staring to get there.

I suspect that if people really knew the costs and how long the wait will be to make those sustainable the entire AI bubble will pop...how is the massive amounts of capital flowing into OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon etc going to improve the lives of every day people?

Their best case scenario is that the magic money tree doesn't run out before AGI is affordable and replaces the jobs people need to earn in order to spend on anything. That's deflationary. Best case scenario?!

But hey Astra seems nice but doesn't deliver to the hype and reels of OpenAI desperation. Ask it about data centres in orbit and the SpaceX deal...(Too soon?)

"No good outcomes" pffft. The UK is finally getting decent summers!

That team is probably shitting their pants over this exact kind of thing.

Everyone is a coder is striking the same fears that BYOD used to but now it's even scarier...because it's new and there a known unknowns etc.

I'm sure that after a few large breaches and data deletions they'll figure out a way to make this sort of "Oh look I can create my own enterprise app" exercises safe in the future...

Meanwhile, wanna come see this new baking app I chat prompted AI to make for the finance team?!

You know how you give people the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith?

That's exactly how he advances all aspects of his self-absorbed, malignant agenda.

All the evidence of what he actually did and what actions he and his organisation have taken show they never negotiate in good faith and Trump only cares about Trump and to hell with anyone else.

When does it become a national emergency to ban anything and anyone that doesn't pay homage or donate to Trump?

In 10-20 years. Don't fire all your staff just yet. Maybe introduce the tech conservatively...before buying pets.com

OK, sorry. Let the record show that software engineers did not and have never had any part of it except implementing the devil's algos. They are victims of circumstance.

I'm just a guy that has no idea how any of these things work but I have a hunch that not every company has a CEO and some of them had software engineers actually make decisions...and depending on the example company both answers could be right or wrong - even simultaneously.

People that are paid agitators for the extreme left are directly brainwashing everyone to discriminate against the Plain Old Telephone Service and good old fashion RJ11 wire. It's so unfair!

Did you know you can use carrier pigeons to communicate? These leftist lunatics want to TAKE YOUR RIGHTS AWAY!

But have no fear, Trump has de-weaponised government so gigabit speeds are not going to be forced on you. You can use dial-up, carrier pigeons and even morse code via shoe string and some tin cans...and all that without having to pay a dollar more than fibre internet! Because they are looking out for the little guy.

Obligatory reference that the EXTREME LEFT don't want you to read: https://www.rfc-editor.org/inf...

When you think about it, a bunch of software engineers, data scientists and managers decided how these algorithms will work...and they have an agenda. (Big surprise)

The thing that annoys me is that I warned everyone I knew about this and it was dismissed as conspiracy theories...you can lead a horse to water but you cannot force it to drink - unless there's some high colour contrast outrageous headline.

...and loads of social media platforms have shitty algos that promote shitty and even downright harmful content...but unlike FB, Twitter was genuinely useful in certain ways until Musk turned it into dog shit.
