That is just an insanely biased or an insanely ignorant view. There have been companies directly responsible for 10s of thousands of deaths, like directly killed members of the public - e.g. Union Carbide. There are companies who products have killed staggering numbers, tobacco companies have been estimated to be responsible for 100 million premature deaths from the use of their product, and that number is still in the double digit millions if we restrict the time to only deaths after the cancer link was conclusively proven and publicised. Oil companies have a headcount in the millions from leaded gasoline alone, and higher still from pollution. Asbestos companies have a legacy of hundreds of thousands of deaths yearly (and bonus points for Lorillard who decided to use blue asbestos filters in their cigarettes and market them as the "healthier cigarette").

And that's before we consider the Nobel Peace prize. Wait what? Yeah the Nobel Peace prize was a peace washing attempt to reframe Nobel's name. It worked. A lot of people don't even know that Alfred Nobel had the nickname "Merchant of Death". The deaths attributed to the man and his company Nitroglycerin AB, are truly incalculable.

I'm no fan of Meta. Their tactics are despicable. They are objectively bad in every way, but wholly shit man get a grip and open a history book. They and their whole business model are far FAR from the most harmful company in history.

Yes it was widespread in the news that Google will remote control cars when they completely disengage from an autonomous session, and when the cars are completely stuck. That is not remotely what Rsilvergun was claiming. It was also widely reported in the news that this is done from USA based call centres and that the Philippines autonomy centre does little more than interpreted images to to give generic instructions to an AI and that they have zero control over the car itself.

That is widely reported. Maybe you should do a bit of Googling yourself if you "believe" the complete bullshit that rsilvergun has *once again* posted, despite being corrected with citations in the past.

But hey if you want to associate and defend that absolute moron we can paint you with the same brush.

Read more than a fucking headline for once in your life.

We've told you before to Google it yourself because you completely failed to understand what was said the first time and refuse to read the transcript again. No Waymo has no "remote control" features beyond the point where they are fully stuck and completely disengage from the driving session. That's a period where there is a 10-20 second handover. YOU can Google how often that happens, it's exceedingly rare.

On top of that there is ZERO remote control function from the Philippines. None what so ever. They have no ability to direct the car, those who can direct the car on those rare cases are located in 2 US call centres.

THAT was clear from the congressional testimony if you bothered to actually Google it yourself instead of just reading whatever poop-post you "researched" on Facebook.

Normally I'd give you the benefit of doubt but you've been corrected on this multiple times now. STOP BEING A FUCKING MORON.

Wow, you made it to be a grown arse adult and yet you still don't understand what homework is? Hint: Virtually no one is able to do homework without the class. One isn't a substitute for another. Homework is a practical application of what you learn in class to strengthen the concepts.

So you're saying advanced classes shouldn't require you to strengthen learned concepts or practice them? Maybe if you understood what homework is and it's purpose then you can come join me in this post and say with me with conviction: "No shit advanced classes require more homework."

Agreed. Now you'll also agree with me to double the teachers wages since you just doubled their working hours right? Right? RIGHT?

Yes because outsourcing learning to a computer helps our understanding, knowledge and skills. ... Are you an AI? I can't understand how a thinking human would have constructed your post, not even an OpenAI marketing drone could put that little thought into the topic of education.

Even courses about politics aren't political unless the people interpreted it as such. "Mathematical" "Proof Heavy" Sounds like woke DEI leftist nonsense if you ask me.

You misspelled European food. There's no American ingredients and no American staff used to make any of that food. Also try and find an American McDonalds that serves a McRaclette like they do in Switzerland.

To be clear it all tastes like the same rubbish, so you probably didn't miss anything. But McDonalds in Italy does serve things like cheese nuggets with Asiago Fresco cheese, and burgers with radishes and Asiago. Actually just looking it up it seems that's their big "localisation", that one Italian cheese.

And yet they haven't been slapped on those products, and were in the past not associated with those products in any way. Point is it is often quite hard to distinguish real from China slop (check some of the other comments pointing out that some of TFS listed names are actually legit), but when an actual recognisable brand name is used, ... it's actually easier to identify.

Would you buy a HiFire BBQ temperature gauge? Maybe, maybe not. What do you know about them? Nothing. Would you buy a Kodak one? That's easier to answer, no.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

You didn't hear anything over the woooooooshing sound made repeatedly by the many number of times I spammed the word American and the obvious signoff at the end of the post ensuring that even the silliest person would understand that my post was sarcastic.

What went wrong when you tried to read my post?

Cigarettes are heavily regulated and taxed. We could only dream of a world where Facebook is as heavily regulated as cigarettes. Let's apply this shall we?
- Cigarettes are banned for minors, we should ban minors from Facebook.
- Cigarettes are subject to huge taxes in a great part to disincentivise smoking. We should make Facebook pay per use.
- Cigarettes are banned from marketing in many places. We should ban Meta from placing any adds on Facebook.
- Cigarettes are banned from having flavours which make them even more addictive or pleasant. We should ban Meta from optimising their algorithm to make it addictive.
- Cigarette manufactures are required to provide detailed ingredients lists on request. We should force Meta (and all tech companies) to open source their algorithms so we can see how they are pushing rubbish.
- Cigarettes in many European countries are not allowed to be displayed publicly for sale nor sold in supermarkets. We should force Meta to not automatically auto-play or infinite scroll (oh wait that's what we're doing now).

oh ...

Many countries ban the sale of cigarettes via the internet ... can ... we ... ban Facebook from... please?

Believe? My friend you don't need to believe, Meta admitted it in 2018 when they got dragged in front of various governments to explain their site and the cambridge analytical scandal.

The "scapegoat" literally employed people from the gambling industry in an attempt to make their product as addictive to possible to the sheep, and openly admitted doing so under oath in front of congress.

Let's not blame the "scapegoat". Let's outright slaughter it and grill it, and then wear it's coat as a warning to others. That's what the "scapegoat" deserves.

Literally no one is extending authority over your citizens. They are exercising the authority to regulate how companies work with *their* citizens. Meta already geofence their products so they behave differently in different regions. All tech companies do.

The gambling addict says the dopamine hit he gets from winning a hand while being down thousands of dollars is really convenient to keep him going so that he will strike lucky, just like he feels. Only people with bugs up their ass would regulate addictive behaviour or substances. /s

At no point of a driving test do you break laws to make space for emergency vehicles. Robo taxi companies would have absolutely zero problem passing the standard driving test, and do so without making the errors that are permitted.

Even in Germany where driving tests are hard this isn't a component of it.

Have you even taken a driving test? There's a reason the roads are full of abject morons.
