Or, and just hear me out on this one. Companies could stop using deceptive and predatory tactics to make a buck?
Yes, I think we all agree the world would be a better place with more honesty. All of us, except for politicians and marketing execs.
The desire for a lower friction less of a pain in the ass economy. The desire not to waste all that effort and energy across the whole economy? A sense of fair dealing and basic honesty?
Wonderful. I share this desire, but I'm a realist. Caveat emptor rings just as true today, as it did when first coined.
A desire to keep Mr. Haney from Green Acres firmly in the realm of comedic satire?
I'll have to take your word on that one.
The moment self-driving cars are ready, Uber will get rid of all human drivers
And, why shouldn't they? Better for them, better for the passengers. Win-win.
I doubt you're completely correct, though. If there's a market for it, they'll just have a different tier of vehicle, driven by humans, for riders that want such a thing. "Uber-H", or something.
It may be a trite saying, but it's as true in education as it is in a gym. If you don't exercise your brain, it's not going to improve.
There's a reason weightlifters don't use a forklift or crane to pick up the barbells and do a dozen reps. The problem is not that the weights are in need of lifting. And that's the same problem with homework. The teacher doesn't need a stack of 5 page reports; what they need is for their students to practice using their brains.
Unfortunately the education system is designed to evaluate output instead of process. It's easier to grade a paper or a test, not evaluate a demonstration of knowledge. It's always been ripe for cheating, but now the cheat tools are everywhere and made legitimate by techbros demanding AI productivity. So either teaching will change, or we'll head straight for idiocracy and nobody will be left with the skills to wonder why it all went to hell.
When AI throws tens of millions of people out of work...
You mean 6.1 million, right?

All this proves is that you don't know what woke means.
*smile* Heh. Ok, educate us.
What does his wealth have to do with Apple's ethics or compliance with antitrust law?
Are you assuming his claim is true? He didn't get rich telling the truth. Three different AI apps have reached #1 this year. Deepseek, Perplexity, and GPT.
I made no assumptions. I simply asked a question. You went straight to class warfare and assumed he's lying, because he's rich. Maybe he is, and maybe he isn't -- if it goes to trial, the court will decide. Until then, the question stands: What does his wealth have to do with Apple's ethics or compliance with antitrust law?
Your good nature will bring you unbounded happiness.
