There fixed the headline, So far they have only collected 500 million, half of their 1 billion dollar goal slush fund goal. Just elites creating very well paying busy work for themselves and their families that will have zero effect on workers.

I can't help but think about the cold war and the Missile Gap hysteria! Same? Different? as with many things history can sometimes be helpful.

So no one in the US then!

except to enrich the chosen group of elites who were given the per transaction skim monopoly with a cut going to the EU government.

Time to add another elsif!

A spam filter and such is legacy automation not Artificial Intelligence.

And Automation != Artificial Intelligence

The money runs out or they get lucky and trip over an actual business model.

"This isn't the USSR." It is in the dreams of the left. But they have a huge problem.

Which ever group on the left wins, that winner will use the lefts Antifa Anarchist wing to destroy their partners.
History shows the Communist, Islamist and Socialist can not co exist.
As for the few Liberals and Democrats left in the party, they will need to shut up and go with the flow or leave/get kicked out the party.

They will just hire 1,000's of extra lawyers! It is no sweat for the big players.
They might be supporting this to erect barriers of entry for new and smaller players that might threaten them.

Considering there is no Intelligence in today's AI, this decision making seems dubious.

Yea, I should have typed AI not AGI! me bad.
But I do think a majority of people on the street believe they have AGI already due to their sales and marketing.
But yes, they are careful to stay on the barely legal side of things with their official comments.

Yea maybe, considering there is no I(intelligence) in today's AI they will need a lot of puppet masters to keep the illusion going.
The real question is, where are all these capable and intelligent individuals(the puppet masters) going to come from with this false AI taking over education by design and via cheating.

Many individuals using today's AI might end up dumber and less capable of doing much of anything.

They are marketing themselves as AI companies and all the have to sell are Massive Automation Machines sold as AGI.
I am in SpaceX they have a future(I think). But I am staying clear of all the AI companies when they go IPO.
The AI companies(marketing automation) I see so far are loaded with old and new debt which I don't see an ability to pay back at this point.
And even if they can cover their debt, I wonder if sucking that much money out of their user base will be bad for their customers and the economy over all.
When AGI comes, I don't think it will need massive data centers at the center of things. Then what happens to the AI companies massive debt load?

But then Opinions are like a#%holes, everyone has one ;) so nothing makes mine matter at all.

You can not put safe guards in a tool to prevent evil doings. And evil will get done with any tools evil doers can get a hold of. And they will be able to get a hold of most any tool they want.
And there really isn't much the government or the security experts can do about it anyway! You can't put the tooth paste back in the tube.
Soon we will all see how things work out.

Bye Bye Chrome! Gone!
