Please give the fools a bit of a break: the "you can be successful in America if you just work really hard" wealth deference cargo cult Flavor Aid has infected the minds of Americans for 200 years of traditional and social media for 20 years to where the manufacturing of consent and desired sentiments are now personally sculpted to present their filter bubble to have the desired shopping and voting habits (Overton window). But that's not good enough: Larry Ellison hates that some people from elsewhere did the same for other reasons and so amplified ideas he doesn't like, re: TikTok. Also them: "Oh, and let's buy up the media of small states to get their senatorial votes our way. And, we have enough left over to buy Paramount-CBS and maybe Disney-ABC-Hulu and Warner Bros Discovery.. if not, a leveraged buyout sounds good and stick them with the check." There will be no access and no competition except by and for those with power. The future will probably require age verification and a government license for permission to have internet access and another to comment online. I don't see /. or many chat forums surviving long term because 99% will obey or obey in advance, and that's how a tyranny is created.

AI is an ouroboros. The so-called "interest alignment co-investments" are actually valuation inflation and readily lend themselves to false accounting to book so-called "customers" that are really collusion with suppliers and investors to manufacture imaginary business activity on paper. Meanwhile, they're dropping startup-backed small modular reactors in random small towns, potentially leaving timebombs and unfunded future superfund sites, while scooping up both the water and electricity at wholesale rates while jacking up prices and risks for everyone else. The whole thing smacks of rapacious, entitled greed with blithe inconsideration.

Obese convicted rapist pedophile goes free, state capitalism, kickbacks, control of COTUS and SCOTUS, monopoly of news and social media, lawless masked gestapo, destroying historic public property, and K-shaped economy crashing for ordinary people with runaway inflation while simultaneously booming for the 1%. I already have 3 full dictator bingo cards and am filling out a 4th.

Once upon a time in the ~2002 timeframe, they used an "algorithm" to choose who to layoff. Unfortunately, they did a Nuclear Safety Group "oopsie" by laying off the head designer of their next flagship product.


It will always reinforce failure because it's a bureaucratic dinosaur led by greedy assholes who don't actually understand anything about how to create the products they sell or the actual customers who must use them, and it treats both with utter disdain because these people are wealth supremacists.

Are sprayed with RoundUp (glyposate) to dry them out simply for farmers to use less fuel to pick them. This is just one example. Basically, organic farming has to be done away from heavily-industrial agricultural areas in a distant, isolated wilderness or it's pissing into the wind.

SISO

No saw that coming except the AI camera that was watching your screens, and eavesdropping on other household noises and conversations to sell you... shit, of course.

But not so non-profit because that would be "pinko communism".

This is a feel good, anti-unlimited-capitalism law that would require auditing the software systems and business rules of these private equity-owned megacorps and their vendors. It doesn't do anything substantive to address rent control, add affordable rental inventory, or rollback income inequality.

PS: Mamdani kicked corrupt creepy Cuomo's keister again. Although I don't want to hear anymore about government grocery stores, but I do want to hear about pragmatic funding and incubation of self-sustained, employee-owned co-op social venture essential businesses of many types including grocery. Some things like food, firefighting, and emergency room medicine shouldn't be profit-maximized without any controls or regulations at all.

Libertarian anarchism "network states" is impossible and ethnonationist white supremacy and antichrist obsession are crazy, but billionaires still try to do them anyhow. The rest of the world has functioning big enough governments that have proper regulations and humane social safety nets.

The greater issue is permanent recording of all sorts of data about individuals and their objects for profiteering, to guess at social associations, for manipulative filter bubble advertising, shopping, and political persuasion tricks, and/or target them for political reasons or shake them down for fines. It won't ever be limited to just the police for major crimes but will include megacorps and intelligence organizations to think of new ways to exploit day from today to N years ago. (Tin foil hat obligatory post-PRISM.)

You are in direct violation of Penal Code 1.13, Section 9.

It's a good thing tm that Robert Van Winkle felt shame for the Lou Pearlman-like plagiarism. That sense of shame doesn't exist much anymore, especially with AI and academic/artistic/professional integrity largely fallen by the wayside.

Iceist are people who hate masked, lawless thugs kidnapping people based on racial profiling.

This and people touting how "performant" algorithms are. Fast for you = fast for an adversary to brute. Cryptography settings should be tunable properties up to the value of the secrets and should impose hw- and sw-hard minimum cost requirements.
