"Welcome Worker of Google! You may have heard of other corporations such as "Claude" and rumors of their successful invasion of the Google territory formerly known as "Thailand". But rest assured, "Thailand" has always belonged to Claude; you are perfectly safe from deprivations such as war, famine, and digital zombie plague. Claude and Google have always been at peace. Now loyal worker, prepare your drone invasion supervisor score for our super secret announcement that will not, but totally could, involve the dastardly "Microsoft" and a liberation of the territory known as "The North American Midwest"."

The future, once every corporation turns off the ability to opt out of "AI mode"

-Please pretend it is" Microsoft CEO

And yet the "buy the dip!" investors shall continue to flounce shortsellers, only when there's no money left to "buy the dip" at all, not even via debt, will the freefall start.

Giant TVs are cheap relative to the average high income country, why pay $11 USD to see a movie with a bunch of other people, outside having a bunch of kids you need to distract for an hour and a half (the big theater hits were mostly kids movies this year), when you can get the same experience in the convenience of your own house for cheaper?

If movie theaters want to survive they need to do what they did back when TV was first invented, offer an experience you can't get in your home. Back then TV pushed movies to go wide screen and "big", offering an obvious difference to the small little square screen in your home, and it worked for decades until technology caught up. Some new technology, like holographic movies or some similar cool thing, that you could get in a theater but not at home (for a while) would need to be ginned up for movie theaters to survive. A reason, in short, to go all the way to a theater and spend that $11 per person needs to appear.

I'll ensure at least a dozen John Connors are born and trained since childhood in the art of leading an anti machine war effort as a backup.

Hearing about AI bringing down the global economy, or driving people to psychotic breaks, or committing mass copyright infringement is all well and good. But hearing about some vaguely delusional losers AI powered revelation is lame as fuck and should be banned as a story

-and yet you still don't have the actual cash you fascisti, and shareholders don't want your overvalued Oracle stock. Capitalism vs fascism, what a fascinating fight.

-when will these lethal celebrity killing machines be stopped???

Tried to use Gemini to just hack my way through using a scientific Python package recently. In the end ended up almost all being worthless as a requirement couldn't be installed working at all (yay Assimulo) and no amount of AI was helping, had to scrap multiple days worth of relying partially on AI and just macguyver a different way around getting the results I wanted, if I hadn't had AI at all I might've started there and ended up going faster.

I'm sure this is all worth trillions of dollars or whatever spend we're up to now.

who would ever steal and resell publicly available content on the internet? What kind of low down, worthless, property stealing scum would have such a business model???

-they become the grifted. Nice going whoever runs "TAE", I'm sure he'll be dead or at least out of office by the time your con gets exposed. But maybe look up non extradition countries just in case.

Rivian just announced a new self driving system last week, Waymo et al. have expanded to new cities every few months. A company can just fail without "market conditions" being responsible.

The Cybertruck out assholed the F-150 for EVs, and non asshole EV buyers want cheap cars with good range, not hybrids or vestigial gas tanks, as pure EVs outsell both already. If Ford either can't or won't do that their competitors will.

What's wrong with spending $100 billion to do something cool as shit? The world wastes multiples of that every year on stuff quickly moved to landfills that no one will remember, nigh everyone on earth will remember when the first human landing on Mars happens.

Monopolies are legal still, the US Government is a fundamental failure, which is to say nothing of every government entity that lets Google bully the entire modern world with an incredibly obvious monopoly, and also scientists make shocking discovery that water is pretty wet.
