Beyond fair use available to all, how?

I can't remember the specific details now, all I recall is seeing the clause (yeah, I actually read the contracts and law, it's quite boring) describing a gov veto power over the brand but 1 in a million that they'd ever use it. I don't even think I bothered asking my lawyer about it and thinking "Of course, gov maintains power, well there's fuck all I can do about it, I may as well just move on"

It's was one of those "Oh, they can do that too can they - typical" moments - I'd never thought about it until I saw this story.

I'd be booking the car in for warranty work to remove it

Ads are designed to capture your attention. To do this to someone when they're driving is surely a safety issue to drivers, other cars, and anyone else.

The car is the ONE place where I can escape ads, unless I listen to a radio, which I rarely do because of the ads. This is so many levels of fucked up.

They don't want you to find the analog AI super computer they built in the 60's that made em write the warning "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION", in all caps like that.

Yes you are right, that strongly leftist governments tend to become dictatorships. Interestingly, strongly leftist and strongly rightwing governments are indistinguishable. E.g. the Soviet Union was strongly leftist, and yet is was, in reality, one of the most fascist regimes to ever exist.

Did they also realize they need a union

Unions for tech so we have a political voice to modulate technology in favor of humanity is probably one of the most important functions() a technology union could have.

Reducing any corruption, for it is the anathema of civilization. I wonder how many pro-freedom initiatives could be had if we all weren't so Pwned.

Hi.

Socialism is not necessarily totalitarian. It can be democratic. The state owns the means of production, but people can elect the state representatives.

I am not a fan of socialism - as I explained. I am just saying that AI will inevitably take all jobs, and so there will have to be some strategy for preventing everyone except the owners of the robot factories from becoming impoverished.

Funny how predictable the responses are here: "That's socialism!" - as if that shuts down the argument.

I personally am horrified by the idea of socialism, and also capitalism. They are both deeply flawed for different reasons.

But unfortunately socialism is inevitable. AI is going to eliminate ALL jobs - ALL of them. So a government handout in some manner is inevitable. And that's socialism. We can't avoid it, sign.

Bernie Sanders is an idiot. But what he proposes (which is not his idea) is probably the best outcome. But given that he - a leftist extremist - proposed it, it now has zero chance of being discussed seriously. He has tainted it.
