Google is spending a lot of money right now to make them work. They also have backup centers in the United States. As soon as they think they can transition it to a profitable business all of that goes out the window and we're going to have to live with these things fucking up our freeways.

It's like boiling a frog except the frog is smart enough to jump out of the pot

Didn't you have to pay a shitload of taxes though? There are usually penalties for extracting money out of a 401k. I didn't think there was a way to move them to something like a money market account without incurring those penalties

But it's absolutely not sustainable. You won't be able to continue to regurgitate culture when you basically collapsed civilization.

Just have them autopilot it from the Philippines. Mechanical Turk and all that. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. Fun fact if you have a 401k then you just had a billion dollars taken out of it. That's how much money you lost when you were forced to buy SpaceX because it was put in the NASDAQ 100 without meeting any of the requirements for joining the NASDAQ 100...

When you're running a scam that big, something worth hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars, why even bother with the self-driving car scam?

It's also easier to openly break the law and get away with it because you have absurd amounts of money and judges tend to side with whoever has the most cash.

Possession is 9/10 of the law. And yeah I know that doesn't technically mean what I am talking about here. But it means what it means in the context of reality. Specifically judges are members of the property owning class and so whether intentionally or not they tend to side with whoever has the most of the stuff.

So now it's open season on anything you create. In AI chatbot can ingest it and spit it right back out and as long as it doesn't do it verbatim there is fuck all you can do about it.

Creating something people loved used to be one of the last few ways to get ahead in the world and even that's being taken away and turned into shit and slop...

And it's why you're not wallowing in your own filth starving to death.

Oh you sweet summer child...

I'm sure that they'll get the bribes sorted out so the merger can proceed.

Meanwhile EA games is about to get hit with 20 billion dollars in debt from the Saudis buying it. Which I'm sure is just fine.

It sure would be nice if we had someone regulating the economy...

Donald Trump sold 2 billion dollars in pardons, accepted a $1 billion dollar jet from Qatar that he is clearly planning on taking with him if he doesn't get a third term and has accepted billions of dollars in money through a cryptocurrency scheme much of which came from foreign governments. Absolutely none of this mattered and Trump still has a 37% approval rating.

Your neighbor gave up on the rule of law. Maybe for the promise of cheap eggs. Maybe because trans girls give them the ick. Maybe because Fox News is entertaining for some reason. Doesn't matter why they gave it up they gave it up and you got dragged into it.

There is a small chance the Democrats will save us yet again but it's going to be tough. The amount of voter suppression going on is unlike anything we've seen since Jim Crow

But what are the practical implications of that? Isn't it just as likely that those math problems haven't been solved because there was not any particularly good reason to solve them?

Yeah it's very likely that at some point in the future there will be a practical application for those math problems being solved. It's equally likely that a human being would have solved them when the time came.

So you going to have to do better than that. How has or is AI going to make our lives better and not just a little better but enough to justify the enormous amounts of water and electricity and pollution combined with the tremendous social upheaval?

I have said it before but AI is fundamentally an antisocial technology. It's because it only exists as capital to eliminate jobs.

If we were a more advanced civilization that could do something about if you don't work you don't eat then yeah that would potentially be okay. But we also would not be building out all these damned data centers during droughts and electricity shortages. I will remind you that Texas has had blackouts that have killed people.

The argument will be made that by all we can shut off the data centers but we won't. Will shut off people's electricity because fuck people.

Crawling out of their hidey holes to take a pot shot at fark.

Just out of curiosity where did you slink off to? I know it wasn't Reddit because the overall tone there is the same as fark. Maybe truth social? Or twitter? I guess there's always 4chan.

Any website that controls its trolls and racists is inevitably going to look like sjw because despite what El presidente is telling you social justice is actually a good thing. We used to call it civil rights until a billion dollar propaganda campaign told you to think about it as sjw and an insult.

Sooner or later if you live long enough you're going to be on the other end of that barrel. If you're still posting to a dead forum like this then you are not nearly wealthy enough to escape what's coming. And just certainly not sharp enough. Anyone with a lick of sense isn't posting here anymore. This is just a place you go to yell at clouds.

Funny thing is the crowd around here is smart enough to know that the Epstein class is coming for their property. I wonder why knowing that they continue to back those people. Like Donald Trump is a establishment goon and guys like you who spout the letter is sjw on ironically just love him. Oh here's the part where you deny that so that you can do a credibility enhancing display... Either that or you will accuse me of TDS.

Fun fact Joseph Stalin used to have his enemies declared legally insane with questionable medical diagnosis. Funny fact number two Donald Trump and some of the Republicans have tried to get trump derangement syndrome declared a medical condition... Your side is literally copying Stalin. How do you think that's going to work out for you?

I have never in my life met somebody who has one of those flags and isn't all on board the fascist train.

I'm sure somewhere out there in the 340 million people in America one of them exists. But there are so few of them compared to the fascists pretending they give a shit about civil rights that if they do exist they are completely drowned out by the fascists they hang out with.

Honestly the whole gun thing is just that it's their hobby and their friend group.

I figured that out years ago when a buddy of mine talk to me about it. About how he has all these fond memories of shooting guns with his dad and grandad and how a big part of his friend group is fellow gun nuts.

It's like how people spend insane amounts of money on Warhammer 40K because all their social life is tied up with it. It's the same thing with guns. When you threaten to take away people's guns you aren't threatened to take away their guns you're threatening to take away their friends and their family.

That's why they have such a hissy fit about it. And it's why it's useless to try and take them away. If you want to stop shootings then you're going to have to find another way then just taking all the guns away.

They will just argue that they thought that the person they murdered was a danger to the community.

You're not going to let Willie Horton go are you?

It's a link aggregator. What the hell is going on that they won't survive a year? I know hosting prices have skyrocketed because of AI slop bullshit but still... As far as I know they don't have video directly on the site and that should be the only thing that really guzzles bandwidth.

The systems aren't creative they're just really really fancy search engines that regurgitate what they have ingested.

Best case scenario this is going to be a large increase in productivity in a society that already has problems with automation devouring jobs.

If China was actually communist I think that might be useful. Since they wouldn't be dependent on jobs to distribute goods and services. But China is the furthest thing from communist.

That said I know the argument can be made that it's basically impossible for any country to become communist as laid out by Karl Marx and that's not a hill I want to die on. But we have been automating factory work and blue collar work non-stop since the eighties. Workers have lost a lot of leverage because of that and pay his gone down noticeably and measurably.

It's all well and good to say we should embrace new technology but if we aren't socially and economically and hell emotionally capable of that what then?

In a world where if you don't work you don't eat we keep eliminating jobs through automation. How is that going to be sustainable?

And if you're going to tell me they're going to be new jobs, be specific. Tell me exactly what those new jobs are going to be.. are we all going to be plumbers? Is it plumbers all the way down?

We have major social problems that I don't think anyone has any solution to biting Us in the ass. And so far everybody's solution seems to be the just pretend the problems don't exist, stick their fingers in their ears and yell la la la at the top of their lungs.
