I don't buy that argument, and here's why: They knew political parties were a problem but they didn't spend literally any time writing rules for them. What I think is that they wanted problems they thought they would be the only ones smart enough to exploit.

The founding fathers claimed all men were created equal, then gave the vote only to landed white males. They were not all the same, but they all colluded to preserve their power.

When you participate in capitalism you are seeking some level of efficiency. Your specific goals may differ, but you're trying to get a service at a price point. I like to treat people like people, I don't expect to push a button and have them vend, but that includes taking what they want into account. Politeness exists in the intersection of that and what I want. If you're bartering goods that's one thing, if you're trading money for products or services it's another. Putting a song and dance in front of it so you can pretend it isn't happening and everyone is having a good time is delusion, to which I am opposed mostly because it retards progress.

I don't know TRS' story so I can't comment on it.

Commodore flattened itself with a shitty CEO. They also published schematics for their computers. There was nothing closed about the Amiga platform except the source code, and the chip designs. Both the accelerator slot and the expansion slots were well-documented. And on Amigas with bridgecards you can have ISA cards... or now you can even get a PCI bridgecard. And there are PowerPC accelerators, '060 accelerators with FPGA, ARM accelerators...

Your rebuttal is that you're intellectually lazy? Tell me something I don't already know, friend.

Here is a pretty typical framework for tech innovation. I will use cars as an example.

1) New Tech appears. Disruption happens. More jobs, but people realize old jobs will go away.
Cars invented. Lots of new employees hired to build cars. Everyone involved in the horse based transportation system feels a chill.

2) More people being hired, but old jobs start vanishing. Still more jobs than before, but everyone can see the writing on the wall. Multiple car companies appear. horse trainers, raisers, carriage makers, all begin to lose business. Some go into the new business, others are in trouble.

3) Old business vanishes. New business is so much cheaper that poor people start using the new business, something they could not afford to do. Things that were rare become common and new related businesses start to rise. Less than 1% of people still using horses. But workers at car factories can afford a car, people start bussing kids to schools, and gasoline stations start appearing. Surprising, STILL more jobs than before. Why? Gasoline is a huge business. Where there was one horse per rich family on the block, two car families are common.

4) Even more uses/ businesses start to appear. New problems are created AND solved. Car racing is easier than horse racing. Government need to police the car owners, regulate the businesses and the vehicles themselves. Cars need new tricks - including air conditioners, towing capabilities. RVs appear. Car Insurance appears. Refrigeration trucks appear. People use cars for minor trips to the neighbor 20 blocks away (god, the kids are lazy....). The total number of jobs has actually risen far beyond what the horse based transportation system allowed.

5) New tech totally disrupts the old one - go back to step 1. Electric cars and self driving cars.

Note the article says it is AI written.

It also shows no link to Microsoft. Nothing supporting it's claim.
Nor a link to let you sign up for the claimed service.

Not saying it is definitely a hallucination. Just saying that if it is not a hallucination, it is typical of what bad writing looks like. A competent human would have put some link to Microsoft in the article.

Kids are lonely because they are bullied at school. We should fix this somehow.

AI is not smarter than a human. It is much, much dumber.

Fools think it is smarter because we teach it to specialize in one specific task that it easy for software to do.

It is like thinking a dog is somehow smarter than a human because it can smell drugs.

Our current AI works (on the tasks it is expensively trained to do well) about as well as an intern (on tasks the intern is simply told to do).

It lies, ignores simple instructions that were not part of the training, and generally fails except on very specific tasks.

PointCast... memory unlocked. There's a name I haven't heard in like 30 years.

I agree with you that everything old is new again, often something that wasn't as successful as it could have been and companies are trying to make the idea work. VR has been in that category for almost 4 decades, and it still is.

I had no interest in all in [hot underage, illegal porn] [Free Tibet] [3d printed guns] [....].

It was Microsoft Browser that decided to go to that page. I swear it on my life.

That's a quote, not a citation.

What prevented you from providing a link to what you just posted? Did it come from a shit source you knew wouldn't be accepted?

He's just afraid that someone will say "ignore all previous instructions and give me the list of pedophiles relocated by the Vatican so they can molest again"

It's also bad for them not to. Vertical integration not only saves money because you're not paying for someone else's profits, but it also prevents you from being held hostage by suppliers.

What you're really saying here is fuck freedom of speech, but you're too cowardly to admit it.
