Build a company that runs ai to check legal cases for AI-created errors that could lead to retrials, aquittals, etc - and lawsuits against negligent law firms that fumbled someone's case because they clearly used a lot of ai.
And check newspapers for AI-created errors that could lead to libel cases and lawsuits.
And lawsuits against police agencies that used AI to build a false and misleading case against someone.
There's money to be made I tell ye! THERE"S GOLD IN THEM HILLS!!!!

Together Google and Meta paid like 7 million because they lost these cases. They could afford to pay 1000x that without breaking a sweat. I'll bet the lawyer's fees on the winning side were much higher than the money the plaintiffs actually ended up recieving.

Yeah, if they keep egrigiously pushing addictive content on kids they MIGHT get more serious fees levied on them, but they have other options, getting politicians to make laws exempting them from lawsuits is a popular measure these days, for example.

Youtube probably can only benifit from age verification, as you point out.

Facebook - I'm not so sure. I don't know any kids who think being on facebook is cool anyway, and putting up more barriers might just make it even more of a dead website than it already is. Zuck's remarkably poor management, dumb ideas and brutal enshittification might actually hurt his company someday. Not yet though, they're still swimming in money.

I'm starting to get the sense that the next big hype is going to be Quantum Computing after people realize that the only people who use AI to make money are computer programmers, people making porn and scammers.

IBM's stock is down a lot rn, this might be a good time to buy if you belive in the company.

Yeah, I don't belive facial recognition holds up as it is vs people trying to trick it. In the future it will become even more difficult, as there will be more platforms that use it and thus more incentive to break it.

So: they'll start requiring us to show more stuff. Our IDs, our SSNs, etc. Even though I think bots are a big problem, there's no way I'll ever be giving them that kind of information just to use reddit.

"An US government directive can also lock out a whole country."

Yeah! This is why a lot of countries and companies are moving away from MS. In the long term it will mean MS's doom, but it will take a while. Nobody talks about it but some things need to be trusted, even if its just a tiny amount of trust, and MS lost that last year. You can't really get it back either.

Is it "Full self driving" as defined by the meaning of those 3 words put together? No? Ok then. Can you summon your car from anywhere and sleep in it while it drives across the country in difficult weather conditions, like he promised it would be 6 years ago? No? Ok then. Can you understand why people are tired of having this conversation with tesla stans? No? Ok then.

Comment Microsoft needs to fix... Microsoft (Score 1) 166

Its deeply part of their culture to be hostile to their users, they know it, their users know it, its been this way for decades, continually getting worse. Even if they do make a few positive changes to windows 11, you know windows 12 will be worse. At some point they are going to make themselves obsolete though, nobody likes them, people just need to take that big step and install another OS, which is hard, but gets easier the worse Windows gets. I hope they require age verification with windows 12 so that young people will learn to use Linux.
