No, that's not (necessarily) capitalism. For example, we had ownership in medieval times in the UK... Did we have capitalism? No. We had feudalism. In China, you have the concept of personal ownership. Do they have capitalism? No - they have a corruption of communism. Hell, North Korea has personal ownership. Do they have capitalism? No - they have a dictatorship. Russia has personal ownership. Do they have capitalism? No - they have an oligarchy. Nazi Germany had personal ownership. Capitalism? No. Fascism.

Basically every society in history has had the concept of personal ownership. The question of capitalism or not revolves around the question of whether the government allows mostly uncontrolled exchange of goods, and the method of production. In feudal Europe, I as a person was allowed to own a mill, and sell the grain produced by it... as long as the "government" (my feudal laird) allowed it. It wasn't free buying and selling of the mill itself, it was buying and selling of the mill as long as the government agreed with it.

What on earth makes you think capitalism is the only system that involves the concept of personal ownership?

Which will also help the AIs - because if the coq proof canâ(TM)t be dispatched, it needs to think more.

Sorry, but what? What mass surveillance? This isn't mass surveillance at all, any more than me having a dash cam is mass surveillance. If someone does something dangerous around me in my car, endangering the people in my car, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to share that with the police. Why on earth would a School bus driver not too?

Amazon Leo isn't quite operational yet, but it's getting pretty close.

The fact that they wonâ(TM)t throw away the second stage on every launch will also probably reduce those capital costs. A launch on starship should deliver 20 times the bandwidth, for 1/40th the cost.

The reason we allow the stock market is ostensibly because people who are gambling are providing a service to the companies they are gambling on. The added cash allows those companies to do things they otherwise wouldnâ(TM)t be able to.

Prediction markets are just pure gambling. No investment, just betting.

Theyâ(TM)re betting sites. Simple as that. Thereâ(TM)s no investment going on here. Itâ(TM)s just straight up gambling. Why are we letting them get away with the rebrand?

No, not at all. It means you can go fuck yourself, I'm not going to include you're choosing to exclude someone, and that someone isn't. I'm going to choose the person who *isn't* excluding people to include.

No itâ(TM)s not - inclusion literally means to include everyone except for those who exclusionary.

Well, it needs to move its flaps. Those flaps are roughly 150 square meters, each. It needs to be able to move them against a hypersonic airstream. Imagine trying to push 150 square meters into a mach 25 airstream, and I imagine you'll figure out where the power draw comes from.

Construction sites do use a lot, but not enough to drain an entire reservoir. Otherwise theyâ(TM)d change themselves into either the source of a small river, or a reservoir in themselves.

Thatâ(TM)s why the towns need to get serious with âoeoh, you built it anyway? Thatâ(TM)s great, weâ(TM)re confiscating everything on the land, including all those GPUs, and youâ(TM)ll be billed for demolishing the building.â

IN SECRET!

You mean... it wrote the files it needs to implement its features to disk, just like every single other feature they add?

I installed software, and it wrote files to my disk WITHOUT ASKING!!!!!!!!!

No dummy, that's what "install" means.
