It’s also possible that Morpheus doesn’t know what he’s talking about. How could he?

Who would watch an interview being held by a crazy person and take it at face value? Anyone with half a brain would avoid watching or listening to Tucker Carlson like the plague.

Meta only wishes they were impactful enough to be broken up. Their products aren’t really that important and it’s really easy to avoid them. If all of Meta’s products disappeared they would be replaced in a day.

It’s a little harder to avoid Google or Amazon or Apple in one’s everyday life. If one of these companies disappeared, it would take some time to fill that hole in the market.

Google search sucks now anyway. It’s been getting progressively worse in the past few years since they have decided that selling ads is more important than relevant search results, and don’t even get me started on the AI dribble they’ve been pushing. If they can’t keep up in a fair market then they deserve to fail just like everyone else.

Why do you say Musk is a genius? Because he has purchased large, sexy tech companies?

Not sure the comparison is justified. Sure, AI is cool, hot tech, but the internet enables connection between virtually every single human alive. Completely different scale of influence.

The argument for UBI is that there will, one day, not be nearly enough work available for the workforce. It’s not about people not wanting to work, but that they can’t.

> As AI produces most of the world’s basic goods and services, people will be freed up to spend more time with people they care about, care for people, appreciate art and nature, or work toward social good

No, it won’t, and no, they won’t. I’m sure this view helps Sam sleep at night but based on all of human history, the rich and powerful will use AI to suck as much life out of the poor and powerless as possible.

Are you forgetting what happened after the 2020 election? This “both sides” shit is a bunch of fucking baloney.

Trump tried to cling to power once after losing a fair election. You don’t think he’ll try again?

Trump literally tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power after losing a fair election. He will likely do this again. If he succeeds, American democracy is toast.

Or a future where the loser doesn’t desperately cling to power and incite violence to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

Just because “the cloud” is someone else’s computer doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Like the current system, this one is not going to help the average user at all. This is for people (or other entities) with money and power.

YouTube/Google is NOT going to pay anyone to do verifications like you described.

I’m a little confused. Most people are talking about PWAs as though adding a website shortcut to your Home Screen is a PWA. When I search for what a PWA is on Google, it says they can be placed in the app stores. So are they in the app stores or do users have to do the shortcut thing?

I agree with most of your post, except the last bit. AI replacing human workers is not black and white. AI will not replace all human artists, for example, but with AI, artists are needed less often. Whether this is good or bad, I don’t know.

Interesting but n=16 is a weak ass study

Larger teams actually mean slower changes, and more likelihood that the code is not great.

Integrations for Google accounts can be seen as a privacy violation. Google doesn’t need to know what other services I am using.

Google’s password manager still has my passwords saved after disabling the feature AND manually “deleting” each one individually. Do not trust them with your passwords.

Given the low ratio of “making it” to “wanting to make it” I would assume that there are many people who DO actually take out loans.

In 50 years, the AI will tell us that looking at screens all day is actually good for you.

That’s like saying I can’t write my own hobby OS because I used to work for Microsoft.

If NDAs were breached, that DEFINITELY would have been brought up in all of this.

Then there should be many millennials who love the prequels but sadly I know of zero.

I think the point is that McDonald’s is literally all over the world, but that doesn’t mean the food is consistent.

There ARE ads in gmail

This is the real danger of AI, forget the “singularity” or any of that sci-fi crap. AI is going to destroy the average human’s already suffering reasoning ability.

Why would someone build a botnet this complex then brick it?

NTSC is 29.97 fps and PAL is 25. That’s almost 20%!

Gambling is shady to begin with. It’s easy to say that all businesses only care about money, but gambling is pure greed, from both the customer’s and proprietor’s perspectives. Sure, there is greed in medical but gambling is ONLY greed.
