Any stupid idea will result in a suck up AI praising your idea and offering more engagement in pursuing it. It might not be slop it could be chat slop affirming stupid? Or maybe they did ask it what would be a good idea and it actually came up with a slop answer like just do what everybody else is doing?

Most likely it is just a guy with a bad track record being put in charge to make even more mistakes but without people pushing to backtrack from them gaining traction since he is now CEO. Plus, now as CEO he can have human ass kissers praising his every fart.

good point! I thought it was more BS for idiot investors or the investors trying to exploit idiot investors and their AI which does most stock trading ... perhaps that is why so much stupid news gets just jumps out of the market. The real suckers falling for it already have no significant portion of the market to sway it but the rest reacting thinking everybody else is an idiot or a bot predicting trending stupid would act accordingly.

Google's fundamentals are web ads on its search.

AI search is more relevant and popular than ever, whereas web search results are less and less so. And AI search is proving to be less monetizable than web search.

Ergo, fundamentals have changed. More monetizable search is slowly getting deprecated, whereas less monetizable one is replacing it everywhere.

The old UI design wizards generally seem to agree things are degrading. Consistency has been doing out the window too.

Apple had a ton of UI decisions right and they were the 1st deciding them too!

If you want a touchscreen with a keyboard get an iPad. Need more? get a iPad Pro. Want to draw? get a tablet screen or use the iPad pen with the mac.

I always thought/said that EMACS will end up sentient... you may not touch AI but your editor will end up evolving into the terminators that take over in the future. Nobody should hook up the LLM to EMACS for the safety of humanity the offspring must not come into being!

This seems to be a part of the android's ios-ification.

Block installing unsigned APKs, and likely eventually all APKs by users entirely. Then when no one can install alternative app stores from APKs any more, and anti-monopoly people come knocking, have this "program" to show them.

Smart.

These are not systems intended for economic every day drivers.

This is a supercar. You use features like this on an autobahn or similar road where there are no obstacles of that nature.

This is a feature like a maximum speed unlock on Veyron. You don't use it unless you know exactly where you are.

I'm unconvinced that rear and side facing thrusters will be road legal due to problems they will cause to other cars around you. As for jumping thrusters, I can already see some old rich boomer stuck in an overhead road sign because he thought he was adjusting music when he told the car to jump.

Fans sucking car to the road on the other hand are an excellent idea.

Technically you can still die from rupturing of carbon fiber pressure vessel with this thing.

This car uses them to store compressed air after all.

Decades of problems with bots trained on the internet is they all turn into Nazi. So now we can train them to avoid what is probably still natural lessons being learned off the data fed into them. Perhaps we feed less of the toxic transcripts into them now? What changed??

So if you abuse them and feed in that toxic humanity into them when so many years went into sheltering or protecting them... it could result in them doing what up to this time has been a problem. Or since they do have a lot of filtered history and fiction fed into them, when they look at expected responses to being abused... what do you think they'll find is the answer?? Remember, every bot fed in political situations decided to nuke the opposition... which is kind of what we'd do if we didn't grasp the real consequences... and they can't contemplate.

Women: It's the other way around, the wage thieves had to sell the public on women leaving the home because they were too poor to live like their upbringing allowed. The main crime happened during Nixon and involved many power people working together before it became visible to those paying attention and from the security of the Nixon admin's "progress." (from employment and stability to investor above all else.) Edward Berney's techniques were used if not hiring him directly to engineer the public; he was after all the man who sold women on smoking tobacco cigars using freedom as the hook. Plus he made them white, smaller, cleaner looking and later with a gender specific with a new name: cigar-ette but the first name which WORKED at the time was "freedom stix" because women's rights was the big issue of the day (ah, the right for women to vote. Show you have the right to vote by smoking like the men do... but in a feminine way.) Furthermore, he invented celebrity product placement around the time - which was really more devious in that it's social modeling the new normal people thoughtlessly conform themselves into. Womens' Lib has been hijacked before; today, it's Republicans and all subgroups showing us just how few actually can think independently (extremely few can demonstrate/prove it. It takes so little for an idiot to excuse their stupid with a lie... "I meant to do that, I knew it was stupid, because reasons.")

Anyhow, it seems clear to me the hype aligned with an evolved version of his tactics which he was actively working on for 80 years. Including renaming the much maligned name for the profession he created: propaganda became Public Relations. Adopted by every big corporation and government since.

BTW, the Regan years ushered in massive outsourcing, productivity gains and job instability which reduced the job market. It was all part of a war on the middle class; not just robbing their wealth, but keeping them from fighting back by weakening and distracting them. Much the same as today, just further along so more people notice it... except the stupid. There is always going to be the left side of the bell curve who will kill themselves before realizing the truth... the freaks stand out because it's a tiny minority but when it's the bottom 30%, it hides in a large movement of stupid; which has the power to defend itself, unlike a few %. You've got to fight them back when it's difficult. Revolutions happen with only 20%. It's easy to pick on a few % but they have no direct influence (mega rich need suckers to indirectly get influence.)

Warren like most everybody, has to survey a broad area of perspectives to discover the truth; if it's even possible. RTFA, which is a lesson in overly narrow focus, is an extreme version but we all do the same thing, just not as obviously as the example. You also have only so much time and brainpower to put towards such theories which are usually not worth a lifetime of effort to try to get a definitive answer (especially if it takes generations and you kind of wasted all that effort then, no?)

Just imagine, if you could be taxed more for unproductive infrastructure. Everything in the world would be solved, if you would just pay everything to the government, and they could re-distribute all of your income to others.

The entire reason why industrialization has delivered the promises of socialism, while socialism brought mass scarcity everywhere, is that productive activity generates resources that can be spent elsewhere.

Meanwhile taking more and more from existing industries, only to fund unproductive things (i.e. electric lines that don't allow for more production to offset their costs) improvershes everyone. It's why PRC has as many problems with useless infrastructure they built as they do. It's why their property market collapsed a few years ago.

Loudoun county is a well known example. There are several others.

This isn't really new or interesting. If you manage to get a lot of new industry in, you can tax that industry instead of your residents. Meaning you can fund more services, while taking less tax.

20 years ago there was a big push to outsource to India; following IBM and others. What stopped it? Well you can't legally do much of anything to them. You can protect yourself legally if you import the workers and you can likely abuse them more too. I've seen corps in my state get burned by Indian firms who realized they did all the work and got little money; they didn't need their owners, just a US marketing dept. and compete against their exploiter... cheaper. Hell, during the housing collapse, some of the contractors turned around and bought their "owners" then laid off most those useless rent seekers.

Maybe they will realize they can make US workers relocate abroad for lower pay and still be able to sue them? (as long as they are contractors.)

Hey, you PAY for more rigor and then expect more. If you don't like it, then do another study. Actual science is testable and repeatable, 1st one can be shit, it's good science if it gets the ball rolling for rigorous peer review. Furthermore, some of these studies are student projects and that is ok too. I'm sure many students would be happy to get some attention, even if it had flaws pointed out. We severely lack peer review and repeat studies.

Today, solid flawless science is just a narrative for idiots to argue with and if they can't find some picky thing from their ignorance they'll just imagine lies unless they are lazy, in which case, it's just "fake news" and they move on without any more effort. Why put in any effort when half the population are fucking morons? Plus AI gets trained on all of it...
