... to understand ANYTHING.

Nothing, because you will get arrested for saying it.

Fuck off with that nonsense. Sure, there are plenty of people who are ignorant; however, a little over a decade ago, your argument was used against black people entirely and yet we had a black president. There are a few loudmouths who try to sway you with arguments EXACTLY like yours. Stop making the fucking argument and work on the solution. I would vote for Andrea Ocasio-Cortez (AOC, I can't really spell the name) or Jasmine Crockett LONG before I would vote for any other white man from either party. Both would be corrupted by power, the same as any other person, but at least they are starting from the right place.

Nintendo will give up the entire European market before they cede control over the USB port. This should be fun to watch... from the sidelines. Popcorn?

As a class, the rich will not suffer until every single "poor" is dead. Then, they will eat themselves.

Your point is valid but your logic is not. Creating something from scratch is FAR easier than fixing a complex balanced system. That is why we make babies and die. Reproduction is an easier problem to solve than long term maintenance.

Very bright indeed. So bright, that the highest SPF sunscreen won't be able to protect you as other countrys realize we are led by incompetent, greedy, amoral morons and nukes start dropping. I am thinking maybe in 3 years now?

All of their monitoring and information gathering can only show them what it likely... and yet here they are, claiming lack of sales as actual losses. Pure insanity. Why the fuck do we let these guys tell us what to do?

So... you are recommending that the majority of the population stay unemployed due to principles? I can't really say that I disagree; however, billions of starving people won't go over very well... if they even have the principles to subject themselves to termination.

Not everyone can work in at your place of work and AI is being used across all industries for this crap.

Why? It is more profitable to forget that the past ever occurred.

Perspective changes everything. There is a reason all conquering civilizations try to completely erase the civilizations they have conquered.

Nobody wants to pay their debts.

Irrelevant. Office revenue has nothing to do with Windows revenue.

That is because of OP's previous searching.*shrug* It will age out again.

I dunno. Give a millionaire an AI and give a billionaire an AI and who do you think is going to win in that struggle for power? You would be correct to insist that nothing is guaranteed; however, I know which way I would bet.

AI is too dangerous to use for nebulous decisions but it is fine if AI is inserted where the rubber meets the road. ROFL.

Living in a fantasy world is fine as long as someone or something is monitoring Reality to ensure you don't bump into Reality in unexpected ways.

Canada's money belongs to Canada. If a Canadian citizen wants to spend that money, the Canadian government is within its rights to demand that a tax be paid when that money is spent.

In order to do business in Canada, you have to agree to Canada's legal terms. One of those terms is that if you are collecting Canadian money, a tax needs to be paid on that expenditure. Now, it could be required that each citizen pay that tax for each transaction; which is difficult to enforce, so, the legal agreement is that the business collects those taxes and passes them on the Canadian government. The money NEVER belonged to the business to begin with. Asking for what is owed is NOT an overreach. Whining about owing a few billion dollars falls on deaf ears when you should have never thought that money was yours to begin with.

(that being said, the tax WAS indeed enacted as a form of "revenge", so, whatever.)
