Isn't the goal then demand destruction?

Do people generally take good care of their health? I do not think so. So if they will not care about even the present, why would making them return make them care about the future?

Any business where people are looking at a screen should probably sell ads.

> The profitability of being able to serve a query wasn't really under question (nor is the margin expected to be anything less than 80%+) I think.

HN had long debates about whether AI inference could even be affordable from a compute perspective.

It wouldn't change a thing.

People have to live in their bodies. Do they care for them? No.

People aren't treating it as a thoughtful contribution. It is more of a flag, like "spam".

> And if you do that, you’ll sometimes assign praise and blame to them, instead of hoarding it all to yourself.

I mean, if things are going well, the logical thing to do is to hoard it.

The problem with applying Hanlon's Razor here is that it presumes malice is rare. The current administration revels in malice. They very openly decide things based on malice.

Painters with broad strokes have done extremely well the past few decades.

Americans are such unserious people.

But it is currently a strong mitigating factor. The law is full of oopsie defenses.

The US military seems like an organization where there is very little accountability given all the people they kill in training accidents, the number of procurement mishaps they have, or their continuous inability to pass an audit.

So I imagine that if the military is the guidance for how we handle this in the future, there will be paperwork, shrugs, and perhaps some performative rage when an agent commits a crime.

It is well past the point where writing off bad behaviour as probably a joke is a reasonable thing to do with Trump as he as consistently not been joking about many things people have claimed he is joking about.

AI makes certain types of people, like those who need to be trained, obsolete.

Eh, we might be all better off if a lack of curiosity was more regularly financially excruciating.

That’s the value of tailwind. You can just skip learning CSS and still get a good result. The benefit to learning it is marginal.

BigTech is far more competent than a Telco though.

Most breaches are not in the interests of management, but they happen anyway as management wants to save money or doesn't understand how it could happen.

> And obviously, a simple email to the data governance and privacy office would be taken extremely seriously.

What is this based on? I used to work for a data governance and privacy vendor that supplied data for audits. Tons and tons of customers asked us to fudge their data.

This is after the Delve scandal, where the hottest tech compliance company was completely fraudulent and numerous other hot tech companies also had completely fraudulent audits.

This is not a reasonable assumption.

Cops are too dumb to comprehend that. They would proclaim it impossible and order more donuts.

Most simple criminals get away with their crimes. Anyone with any level of sophistication does as well.

Anecdotally, I am consulting for a few of these and they are nowhere near that, haha.

Everything still requires 5 approvals, so the challenge now is scrambling for attention.

The UAE is a bunch of absolute monarchies. You are applying the processes of a democracy to hereditary absolute monarchies.

Distribution is a whole other animal.

And we would be stupid to give them as access to cheese afterward. They had that chance and blew it.

There is unlikely to be any thaw within our lifetimes.

Trump is also often anti capitalist, between tariffs and government shares in business. There is what fascists say and what they do, and industrialists were often very good Nazis.

They are pretty much openly that way.

A friend and I have a contract with a local university here in Canada.

They paid for custom on prem software and in over a year, they have not fully provided both access and infrastructure for install it.

We have been paid already, but they paid for a tool they can’t get their shit together enough to let us install.

Depends? Are those more narrow one’s better and people have a better idea of what ideal looks like?

I’m kind of horrified at people saying they had/have to work at their best friendships as with my best friends, everything is seamless.

There are no misunderstandings. We never have to forgive each other. We never even need to clarify things for each other much, as we are that well aligned.

Granted it may not be possible, but ideally go find a better match in a friend.

I think we should want to disincentivize any person from having too much power and wealth is power.

Expensive places are where people care the most about that though.
