"Yea, that's why unions make almost zero sense for high skilled jobs. This essentially adds some foundation to the lowest performers while kneecapping top end pay ranges."

This is the definition of "Fuck you, I got mine" type of ladder pulling that needs to stop. At the high end, pay in this industry is great. Is it doctor or high end lawyer high? No but it's still pretty damn good and I see no reason why the people at the lower end couldn't get a bit of an improvement to their situation.

"If a police chief "stood in front of a city council and asked for permission to install hundreds of cameras just so his officers could investigate the high crime of 'haha,' they would be laughed out of the room,""

If they want the public opinion for AI to improve then they need to show that it won't enrich only the wealthy while the public continues to have our wages get flatlined.

These things really need to be shut down. Their just gambling & insider trading by a different name.

This is just another blatant attempt of the executive branch and it's delegated agencies to take control away from the legislative by ignoring the law.

They sure do talk about banning things, but so far I've seen very little done to actually get businesses to BUILD that stuff here. Seems all it will do is cut out choice and raise prices.

Great, just what we needed. ANOTHER "Alexa" type of always listening speaker device.

Or just get some Airpods Pro 3's and use the automatic conversation boost without paying for a subscription?

All you need is ONE mistake with a rocket exploding or failing to get thee waste on an escape trajectory to cause a nuclear material catastrophie. Non starter.

"Protect the children" - the rallying cry for so much BS over the decades.
