That is because it absolutely *IS* inevitable.

Governments of the world collect an absolutely stupid amount of information about *YOU* so they can control *YOU*. Having people sift through those feeds is incredibly unreliable and time consuming. You could employ the entirety of the human population to go through those feeds, but again, humans are unreliable: They can be bought and they make mistakes.

Once the backlog is fully processed, those AI agents will be attached to your personal lives. You will be fined for "abusing the morality code", which is useful if you don't know how to use the three shells. Telescreens were a concept limited by imagination. Those "telescreens" will be with you in every aspect of your life. You will not be able to go out into the woods to meet your girlfriend in private like Orwell assumed. The AI agent will accompany you EVERYWHERE. And it will monitor you.

AI is here to stay. I would not bet on any of the current companies being the "winner" in this scenario.

I have mod points but you are already at +5 Insightful. I would still give you a point if I could. +6 Inciteful.

Why are you posing as an Anonymous Coward? It puts all of your statements at a lower level than Drinkypoo's.

What are you afraid of? Let's see who you are. Then we can evaluate this discussion on a more reasonable level.

Personally, I think you have a point, but I just can't agree with an Anonymous Coward when I already know who drinkypoo is.

Let's see what is really going on here. I am also fascinated by the Anonymous Coward(s) going after rsilvergun. Dude makes some great points and then shuts off his brain, so someone, multiple someones, attack him anonymously.

When someone attacks from the shadows, it reduces the effectiveness of the statement in almost all cases.

No. Incompetent management and the desire to maintain status quo with the least amount of effort. In other words, laziness.

I used to think these kinds of things happened because of stupidity and lack of foresight... as I grew older, I gradually learned that some of these are intentional. It is easier to control a person who has an enforced weakness.

Smart Republicans will vote with integrity. The American people have spoken: If you are a hateful liar, WE DO NOT WANT YOU.

The Republican party is explicitly about hate and division. Staying with that party is a sure way to lose your power.

But don't worry, the Democrats will save the Republicans as they are both part of the same team: Money.

No. No we are not done with both sides. In fact, we are entering a new era where you get to see for sure...

What was being said, and that you refused to hear: Both sides are corrupt. Period.

You can't vote for either party with a clear conscience.

Here is where you get confused: Until the Republicans unabashedly claimed Fascism and Hate as their parties values, there was little Real World difference between the two parties to the common person. Both sides were perverting the rule of law for their own benefits.

With this 'new' public declaration from the Republicans, everyone, together, said in perfect unison, "Fuck that!". And now we have Democrats instead of Republicans... but watch. Jeffries is already mischaracterizing the win. Schumer will definitely help beat down any investigations or impeachments... and, nothing will happen to any of the evil people fomenting evil upon us. And they will be back for the next election cycle. Yay Democrats! Thanks for cooperating with the evil amongst us. The money is nice eh?

In other words, it is not the parties, it is the money! That is why both sides are the same. They both take money in service of their own fortunes. How it ends up will be semi-random (depends on which party you vote for), but is guaranteed to not be something the public as a whole wants.

We are so far from the bottom that in 10 years, people will be looking back at this time as the good old days. Note how rsilvergun, the evergreen Democratic supporter, is amazingly absent from the discussion in this article. There is nothing he can say today that won't come back to bite him later.

No it won't. Money says that this will be a blip in the run towards a dictatorship. This movement has been going on for over 50 years. It will NOT be stopped through voting. They will succeed at taking control.

The only way to show me that things are changing is to repeal the law created in 1978 permitting the US Government to pull money from SSA through bonds. Or, if bonds do actually make sense, then the money from those bonds needs to go back into SSA administration when the bonds mature. As it is, it is set up to drain Social Security into the General Fund without the strict oversight granted by SSA. This is why Social Security is on "Life Support" (a misnomer as it is being drained purposefully; there is no life and there is no support).

You are not wrong; however, you are failing to take into account that the Democrat party is also compromised by the very same people who compromised the Republican party. I am already seeing leadership being gifted to those who have voted with Republicans on critical items.

It was the corruption that moved the voters, not high prices, not war; not political party, it was corruption.

A government without integrity is utterly useless except as a vehicle for a dictatorship.

You, and previous administrations have never proved that this effort from the USA is necessary. If Iran is such an exigent threat, why didn't China, Russia, or the EU invade? Why aren't they there now? Why is it that only the USA sees enough of a threat there that we need to sacrifice our own well-being to address that threat?

Even if they built a bomb, what exactly would they do with it? If they used it, every single human in the Iranian administration would be assassinated immediately and Iran itself might be entirely wiped off the map. These responses would be worldwide to Iran using a nuclear bomb.

Ultimately, YOU don't want them to have a bomb because YOU don't want anyone to be able to defend themselves against YOUR aggression. Fuck off with that nonsense. "WE" don't need to take from others.

That perception did not arise from nothing. Back in the 80s, the first Chinese made products started arriving after moving manufacturing off-shore. Those products were absolute shit. The American execs tried to get things built for the lowest cost possible and the Chinese delivered exactly what was asked for.

For the next 20 years, we were all buying cheap Chinese shit that would fall apart at first use.

Around 2010 or so, Americans were finally able to see some higher quality Chinese engineering. And then, Chinese technology became extremely restricted. Within the past few years, outright bans of Chinese engineering have been enacted.

It is insane to me that owners moved manufacturing out of the US and would only allow poorly engineered products into the country. What perverse incentives are being followed here? They are dragging ALL of us down, including the owners.

LOL, it is because they are resisting becoming the 51st State. They need to be punished, those filthy commies.

(the scary thing is that this might actually be the reason)

It is probably best to not ask AI to solve problems for you. Make it do drudge work, like setting up header files. Any logic that requires subtlety of thought is out of bounds for AI.

The incorrect use of AI allows lies to fly as Truth until they are challenged. With so many lies flying about, it is difficult to ascertain the Truth. There lies the real danger.

It looks like itch may need to create a process that causes enough friction to allow a human to review whatever makes it past the filter. Is it "unfair" to the creators? Absolutely; however, it is also unfair to ask a human to evaluate so much low-effort garbage.
