How backward of them. Here in the free west, the people are so disillusioned that no amount of ability to organise, readily available guns, evidence of government malfeasance can make a dent in their desire to do nothing at all.

I mean, here in the free west - our democratically elected leaders have more respect for their citizens. Ahem.

For some very limited definition of "work", wherein the 3D printer constantly fails with cryptic error messages and refuses to print anything that even vaguely looks like it could be a gun com

The urge to 3D print the letters H and P is strong.

Continuum:
Back in the day: Hunt your own food, kill it, cook it, eat it.

dot dot dot.

Today in fat-ass-world: Someone else hunts for your food, kills it, vacuum packs / freezes it / delivers it to a local hub where yet another someone else cooks it and yet a third guy collects it for you and drops it off.

Presumably the next step is someone else eats it for you then delivers their poop to you for you to deposit in your toilet (or maybe for an extra charge they'll pop it in there for you) ?

Maybe AI can help with his future statements so they don't appear to be variants of "anything hurting our profits is bad for humanity' ?

No mention of portable batteries with AI bots so there's still room for... what's the opposite of improvement?

The company makes sure to note that ChatGPT Health is "not intended for diagnosis or treatment."

The company is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal,Weight Watchers, and Function, "to get more personalized, grounded responses to their questions."

...personalized, grounded responses to their questions... So, diagnoses?

You've got to feel a degree of pity for people who have apparently had their reason destroyed by their greed - perhaps their own bot could give a personalised grounded response on that topic.

Families allege that Character.AI's chatbot encouraged their children to cut their arms, suggested murdering their parents, wrote sexually explicit messages and did not discourage suicide

Coming soon PaedoGPT.

You didn't state the name of your country...

Thanks for the wall of text. I recall that the topic was...

*checks*

How income inequality is just fine for those on the wrong side of it.

The topic isn't:

How economies work - yes, people like to do different things - for example you seem to have particular expertise in the straw-man responses - I'm happy to discuss something completely different to the topic :-)

OK; let's say your boss was happily making security apps for let's say 1000x what you earn then he thinks - I know, I'll get someone else to do my job, pay them 0.1% and pocket (in one of my extremely large, ever-expanding portfolio of pockets) the rest. Would that be reasonable? (*) and if not, why not - discuss....

(*) Ironically that probably is what's happening in your scenario / the scenario of every employed person. If you were being paid what was 'fair' (another discussion), you wouldn't be employed as it would not be worth it to your employer.

However, 1000x is probably *nowhere near* the disparity actually in play in income inequality - is it?

I mean it looks as though the US gov are saying laws are optional so I suppose that applies to everyone, right?

> The first thing I thought when hearing the US invaded Venezuela was "how can I insert AI into this?".

Isn't anyone nostalgic for Crypto 'news' ?

I just witnessed a U-turn:

Time to start sending orange die packs to Venezuela.

Fish take it for granted that breathing under water is normal.

I recall seeing a guerilla-style interview with one of the Rothschilds - he was like the fish - he had no understanding whatsoever that breathing underwater isn't equally easy for all - no understanding whatsoever.

It kind of is though. Wealth ultimately is the ability to motivate others to act on your behalf.

Every time you spend one hour building someone else's dream life - that's an hour you didn't spend building your dream life. Sounds like zero sum to me.

It seems a lot of modern wealth comes from motivating others to act on your behalf and collecting the rewards of their actions FOR YOURSELF whilst giving them a pittance with which to sustain themselves until the next day of building your dream life for you.

Everyone with wealth give everything you have to someone without wealth then come back and tell us how happy you still are.
