What's needed is a web of trust moderation system which can be used to filter email, Usenet, and social media sites. Go forth and write!

They don't want any competition for their own malevolent disinformation, which is redundant.

And she's right, she has herself as an example.

Unfortunately she's incapable of understanding this means that she is a terrible parent.

This place is run by crypto thugs who are also invested in AI. It's not a surprise when they mod down posts which threaten their portfolios.

"The "people" presumably the public have zero clue what work you directly produced. They see a road was built. They elected an official who ran on a policy of building roads. No one cares if "Arrogant-Bastard" (LOL, thanks, I don't often get a chuckle when looking up who I'm talking to, though you don't come across as one :-) ), did the soil load calculation of the road."

This is not only false in that there are people who care, but it's also false in that they have a right to know and they can get that information via FOIA request in the US.

The Internet is by definition a network of networks. Therefore how you define it will be defined by how you define networks. However, since a reasonable definition of a network includes all of the devices on that network, it is also reasonable to include the functions provided by those devices.

The internet IS bloodsucking corporations, that's the rub. In early days it was a bunch of schools. Under their benevolent stewardship, the Internet flourished. When its mission was research, it was healthy. As corporations took over providing the backbone, it became ever more malignant. This should lead to obvious conclusions about the influence of the profit motive on all things, but too many people have been brainwashed by prosperity theologists to get it.

No need to use tokens for that, just detect keywords and link them to ads. Which makes it even weirder that they are failing

But then they own a bunch of unprofitable companies, and what's the end game? Even not charging themselves markup for hardware won't make the industry profitable.

"Google's problem is that it doesn't have a platform to embed ads in."

Tell us you didn't understand the statement without telling us.

Double down on telling us you understand nothing about this conversation. You actually manage people? Here's how it works: Until AI can pay for itself, it's a net negative. You're chained to a rock sitting on a melting ice floe.

Yes, they are, and nuclear has shitty lifetime emissions if you count the mining and processing and transportation and decommissioning activities.

Normal industry: Your factory has an expensive milling machine and a cheap stamping machine. Thankfully, customers actually seem to prefer stamped parts for most cases and you can produce those quickly; so you keep stamping out parts and rolling in cash.

Tech industry: As above but your entire c-suite believes that the milling machine with turn into mecha-jesus and end history; so you are bulldozing everything you can to build more milling machines.

People are trained not to think, in a shrink-wrapped world where everything is presumed safe, right up you wind up in the hospital from E.Coli because a hundred farms' produce all goes through one inadequately cleaned machine before being put into the clear plastic packages.

Google has you covered there, they will simultaneously return search results which are garbage and an AI response which will also be garbage.
