What is this fascination with numbers? It is absolute possibly to become a billionaire without doing any bad things. The fact that there are no billionaires that I am aware of who have not done bad things is not an argument that all billionaires do bad things to become billionaires. In other words, it should not be assumed that being a billionaire proves that you are a bad person.

It is actually quite disturbing to me that numerous people appear to think like this. The position assumes you know what is right or wrong in every situation. The world is not that black and white. Please stop this idiocy and THINK.

Speaking of thinking... It seems to me that Taylor Swift is a billionaire. What evil thing did she do to become a billionaire? Give millions of dollars to her team as a Christmas bonus? Without getting all "Cardinal Richelieu" on her, what has she done that earns the title of "awful"?

Niche product? AI is absolutely perfectly for a surveillance state. It can watch billions of video feeds at the same time and make judgements on a person's behavior. Society will finally be sorted.

When there is an imbalance in the economy, there is always a regular call to raise taxes on one entity or another. But why? Why not pass laws that ensure that money flows properly so it can be harvested in a healthy and sustainable manner?

Instead, it is ALWAYS "hey, lets tax this money so it can be sent into a black hole of corruption and mismanagement", when the "wisdom of the masses" can be used to manage the money more efficiently.

Thankfully you recognize this as a propaganda piece. Not sure how it came up on Slashdot. Probably just to get outrage clicks.

There are. Just like there are fat people who are fat because they overeat. But just concentrate on those since it is simple to grasp. Do not EVER think of anything else that could be a factor since self discipline is always an easy target. People are not robots.

So you think that the obesity epidemic is caused by a lack of discipline?

When I was a kid, fat people were the outliers, not the mainstream. Since then, our food has been engineered. And suddenly everyone just lost their self-discipline? Or was the food engineered to have certain effects that may be undesirable on a personal level but highly desirable at the group level (if you own medical corporations)?

Self-discipline has ALWAYS been an issue throughout history... but not like this. But, whatever. You appear to be happy living in this manipulated and corrupted society, so why would you look?

Your personal wealth is less than 0.0009% of the entire worlds wealth. Your wealth suddenly skyrockets to 6% of the entire worlds wealth. Oh wait, it didn't skyrocket... it lazily flopped to 6% of the world's wealth?

I am curious how they identify kids that are using VPNs to non-hostile countries to then do what they want on the Internet. Are they blocking all VPNs? Are they decrypting all traffic leaving Australia? I can't imagine that the law is anything other than the most minor annoyance to minors.

Or are you folks keeping your kids uneducated and ignorant over there like they are in the USA?

There is no tradeoff at all. This process takes Open Source code and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish. This same product also takes Proprietary software and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish.

Nothing was taken from Open Source, but something was taken from Proprietary.

You are further from a usable product if you use this on Open Source.

You are closer to a usable product if you use it on Proprietary software.

I can tell that you really believe what you are saying. *sigh*

Have you ever, even once, voted for someone without an R or D next to their name? I have. Needless to say, it was a "wasted" vote.

So you have two political parties pushing candidates at you. Those candidates are vetted for pushing the parties interests above all else before they can even get their name on the ballot.

Tell me again, in more detail, about the real choices that we have in America.

I can see why you think that.

He won't, but it was intentional. Look at the words out of his own mouth: "Go get your own oil, or buy it from us"

Who exactly did you think made that multi-billion trade on oil futures just before the war started? Bill Cosby?

I apologize that I did not get to them quickly enough. We all know that it is only my own opinion that matters. If people are having differing opinions, it just means that I have gotten my message to them yet. *sigh*

To be fair, there are a LOT of people, and some don't even speak my language. WTF?

Your logic is weak. AI has not shown any real improvements since it was released onto the public. They are dialing in the exact weights and such needed to maintain "accuracy", but there will be no further improvements on the current technology that will lead to future breakthroughs. LLMs are a thing, and MIGHT be part of a future very capable AI; however, LLMs will NEVER be AGI regardless of what is done with them.

No wondering is necessary. AI reliance will absolutely kill off any remaining critical thoughts/thinking you may have. Reality is going to be absolutely and completely miserable for humanity from here on out. Your life will be miserable, but you will be unable to figure out why... just asking yourself over and over, "why are things like this?", but being unable to come up with an answer.

Hey, wait a minute, we are already like that without AI.

NO MORE WOOL!
