You know that cookie spooky socialism crap. If that happens you will quickly see the population not just stop growing but shrink.
Oh shit, did rsilvergun just say the quiet part out loud? The only kernel of truth in your entire screed, is that particular line. The population will shrink, but due to starvation that always follows a socialist takeover. So thanks for being honest for once.

If I were, perhaps it's because I'm not seeing any of the real stuff here.

See, that's the thing - you think "honky" is an awful insult, when I grew up it was a punchline on national TV.

As Eric Raymond (ESR) says, AI is a force multiplier. My elaboration: If you are good at what you do, it will let you do accomplish more good stuff faster. If you are not very bright, AI will let you be not bright more efficiently, but it won't make you bright. It's just a tool. It needs to be utilized correctly. There is no shortage of things in this world that can do tremendous damage if not used properly. AI is nothing new in that regard.

"AI slop" is so 2024. That argument isn't valid any more.

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "slop". Spewing a bunch of slogans that would have to be more clever to make it on to bumper stickers makes you look like the people you are complaining about. There are legitimate criticisms to make about AI, and ways to support and defend those arguments. You are not doing that.

Sounds like you're not defending Access so much as ODBC.

It's mighty convenient for you that your claim makes it impossible for you to provide evidence of this outrageous claim.

... is not let AI get into the hands of people like Bill Gates. That, however, is impossible.

The question with these kinds of tech articles is always "can this be scaled to mass market levels" and the answer is almost always "No."

The oligarchs are consolidating American news networks.
Greetings time traveler from the mid 19th century! Feel free to look around and don't forget to check out powered flight!

Agreed, I bounced off of Discovery but SNW is great. Having heard mixed things about Picard I haven't gotten around to that one but maybe sometime.
Skip right to season 3 of Picard, Terry Matalas gives a shit about TNG lore and does his best to stay true to the characters. Academy is what happens when theater kids get a hold of Star Trek, but don't care about the source material, it's why they set the show 800 years beyond TNG-DS9 timeline. It(Academy ) did so poorly, they shot two seasons and canceled the show after airing the first season.

Way to go. Cannot wait for Woke 2.0 to make you all feel like you'll pine for the halcyon days of 2014.
Take note dear readers, we've passed the "woke doesn't exist" phase and we're on the "woke 2.0" will be better phase. We've skipped the "woke exists a little bit", and "woke is omnipresent and it's a good thing" phases. Please remember this when we are subjected to the "woke never happened" phase like with COVID lockdowns.

Can you name one of the "non-stop lies" Jimmy Kimmel (or even ABC for that matter) spewed?
Jimmy claimed that Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was a MAGA. When the bosses at Disney found out just how poorly that was going to be taken by the affiliates, they quickly pulled Jimmy off the air. Now Kimmel is a piece of shit, but no one would mistake him for a news broadcast. The View is were Disney tries to cake and eat it too with sometimes it's a news broadcast(not subject to in kind donation to campaigns), some times it's opinion and therefore not slander. There's the real problem. But you clowns don't want consistency, you want 2 minutes of hate at the orange man.
