"Yes, neither Trump nor Putin are only bad and yes, Zelensky most probably is corrupt."
LOL BOTH SIDES!

"Meanwhile, I don't want Russia to break up either."
What do you mean by "Russia"?

"What I can say, in short, is that I love how precise this strike was and how little human collateral there was."
Considering that "media coverage is biased" how can you say this?

"You might be mixing two things up here."
What are the two things he's mixing up? What evidence does he have that there was any cancer diagnosis at all until one was announced? He takes the word of his dear leader, as his cult always does.

On the other hand, it's very clear that Trump has had medical issues that are hidden from the public, including a pretty clear stroke that occurred during his first term, ongoing drug use that has resulted in incontinence for decades and obvious signs of mental decline. It's all projection with MAGA.

Comment Re:no due process (Score 2) 24

The threat from "corporate gods" is a lawsuit, there is no "due process" issue until there is a lawsuit. The problem isn't lack of due process, it's that the little guy cannot afford due process.

Due process is a burden born by the government, not private corporations. It's like free speech, corporations can stomp on it, government can't.

"Apple contends the requirements threaten its seamless user experience while creating security risks..."

Why is that Apple? Are you not good enough to create a secure, level playing field? Your programmers don't know enough? You have to conceal information from 3rd parties because your interfaces are insecure? Or is it because you know 3rd party products will be better than yours? And what is this "seamless user experience" anyway? Is that when every purchase of the user goes through Apple?

Most business doesn't care about absolute quality anyway, only quality relative to expectations and competition. If everyone uses AI, then the only problem is short-term, expectations need to be adjusted, not products.

Literally everything we see with AI is propaganda telling you (a) that everyone else is using it and (b) that AI results are the new standard. It's all about forcing AI past this short term problem.

AI is going to create an opportunity, there will become a market for stuff that actually works made by actual people that understand what is needed. Companies that employ old-fashioned people instead of machines that pump out garbage. People like ShanghaiBill, the Sam Waltons and Michael Dells of the world, won't be interested, they only want to pay the recurring costs; they are only interested in the profit while actual humans starve to death.

Comment Re:No it isn't (Score 1) 142

There's no technical impediment to AI adoption since the world uses the internet and cloud computing is already established. A single decision could create usage of AI by a billion people without any of those users even realizing it. It's not even slightly an interesting discussion, every comparison requires a compelling value proposition while AI only requires a single CI/CD commit.

And this discussion exists simply because VC generated a daily propaganda piece promoting their investment interest.

Not only that, but CD-ROMs were not widely adopted until CD-R was introduced in 1988, roughly the same time as WWW. When CD-ROM first hit the scene, it was used to publish electronic encyclopedias and not much else.

I remember my first CD-R drive. It was at work, I had to justify it for use by the entire department of ~100 people, and not only did we have access to the web but our company was selling using our website by then. I purchased a CD-R for my nephew that christmas, he was flabbergasted to have it. It was cutting edge, it could write at 3x real time!

CD audio was, of course, very very different. And audio CD were not rapidly adopted either. Original CD players were $1000 in 1980, it was a plaything for the rich.

Comment is Molly Kinder an AI? (Score 1) 115

' "This is something I'm hearing about left and right," said Molly Kinder, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, a public policy think tank, who studies the impact of AI on workers. "Employers are saying, 'These tools are so good that I no longer need marketing analysts, finance analysts and research assistants.'" Using AI to automate white-collar jobs has been a dream among executives for years. (I heard them fantasizing about it in Davos back in 2019.) But until recently, the technology simply wasn't good enough... '

How does Molly Kinder have a job, and does anyone believe her anecdotes? I sure don't. If there's anything AI can replace it's fake analysis and lies from Molly Kinder, if it hasn't come from AI already.
