What would have happened if we did this with the car companies? Or the internet related companies?

Would be a heck of a model and not sure I would trust it with so much ability to tweak the variables and make it say anything, but have we tried? Even if just in theory?

I am not opposed to a sovereign wealth fund. That seems to be how countries are going to gain power, influence, and financial stability going forward and I think we need to hop on the bandwagon.

I also think AI is very unique in its capability to hurt many people. More than cars and the internet. So I think this is an appropriate industry to look at requiring social responsibility.

But is it a good idea? I don't know.

I agree. The idea that 3d printing is the be-all, end-all of manufacturing is quite short-sighted. There's a reason a modern, complex machine will use many types of manufacturing methods. Injection molding, bending and forming metal, forging and casting, CNC cutting metal and plastics, then all the finishing techniques, and of course some 3d printing. Each has its place for both price and quality.

Reminds me of another billionaire that thought carbon fiber was the best material for any use.

Kids need to be ready for the world they are going to enter, and it is going to contain AI. In the late 90's we taught kids about computers, the internet, and programming. At the time there were many jobs that didn't use a computer daily or at all, including in the office. That was very good instruction and prepared me for what I was going to work on when I hit the workforce in about 5 years.

If they are just adding instruction on what AI is, how to utilize AI, including that it isn't always correct and that we need to be careful with the implementation, then I see no reason schools shouldn't cover this topic.

I even think middle schoolers should be taught about social media. They could use /. to illustrate many important points.

The devil is always in the details. I haven't read the bill or TFA.

I was about to make the same comment. There is a very valid discussion about what happened and it is pretty concerning that a non-profit takes money from private parties, probably got grants, probably didn't pay taxes, and then once it's profitable, "oh, yeah, we didn't mean that whole "non-profit" stuff, lol."

And people wonder why this site has a sad average of 50 comments and at least 1 is dinkypoo saying something dumb.

I put in a request for work on a freelancer site recently. For an amount that would have got a good response pre AI, probably 100-200 submissions.

This time I got over 3000. Almost all AI - and almost all were botted responses that I bet the "designer" never even knew were submitted.

Fortunately a few people still know how to use photoshop.

And computers rarely have a life longer than 10-12 years. Unfortunately this is what people need to expect.

My wired Bose speakers will still be blasting in another 10 years however!

You can't go a single day without using something that required manufacturing. The food packaging was manufactured. The service person sat in a chair, at a desk, working on a phone and computer, talking over miles and miles of infrastructure and every single bit of that used manufactured products.

The ability to turn raw materials into finished goods is a core competency of any society and economy.

Manufacturing has higher pay that many other industries. Besides, we need assembly line jobs because that's all some people can do. But they also need tech and engineering to support them, managers to manage, sales to sell, accountants to count, etc.

It is very short sighted to think manufacturing is not beneficial to our society.

Firing someone is freedom of association and is just as important as freedom of expression. "Freedom of expression" is only valid when discussing the public square This is a great example of why your job market is crap and you all make 1/2 of what we do in America. Congrats, you get 30k for being fired... we get that every year because a business can take risks and get rid of crappy, crass employees.

Keep your system and talk all the shit you want. I'll take double the pay.

Exactly what indicators haven't already returned to where they were or better? Inflation, jobs added, GDP, market indexes and more are all doing just fine. Interest rates are still higher due to tariff uncertainty, but a quarter point isn't killing us. I'm not a billionaire, but my 401k and stocks are now at all time highs (because I'm not a retarded doomer drooler and bought during the dip). It's absolutely histrionics to claim things are markedly worse than a year ago.

Have you tried? Have you looked at the immigration charts? Do you really think millions per year is what is normal and sustainable? Did you not understand Obama when he wasn't allowing millions in? This isn't a "MAGA" position, this is the position of a good majority of people. Even sanctuary cities are starting to not be so loud about defending illegal immigration. The inability to understand others implies a lack of empathy, ignorance, or lack of intelligence. Which is it with you?

Americans make more so it will cost more to run the government which is made up of Americans that make more than Germans.

12555 of 80000 is 15.7%.
8011 of 54000 = 14.8%

So it's pretty much the same amount coming out of the check.

He's making stuff up. Some very specialized doctors have long waits but right now there are dozens (hundreds?) of doctors in my metro accepting new patients. My wife got a new doc recently. It took an hour to make an appointment 2 weeks out.

We don't really have to pretend. She did exactly that (maybe not military plans, but then again we won't ever know because she wiped the server... you know, with a cloth) and people were told it was no big deal and we shouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure there will be subreddits dedicated to "butterytexts" or the like...

...would do a bit of research and question that if 4 days ago they still couldn't define who Amazon's competition was... maybe this isn't really due to recent staffing cuts.

The only thing worse than reading a new news article about Elon every single day is having to hear every lefty complain about him in every single thread on the internet.

Completely unprompted, you blame Trump, as President-elect, at the end of a Democrat administration, for tech companies in California reducing luxury perks?

You do realize you're the mirror image of that dude typing in all caps on Breitbart, right?
