But someone assessed they were still a valid target, right? We aren’t quite at the fully autonomous attack craft yet, are we? That would be a convenient excuse, blaming the AI/drone because the humans in charge totally wouldn’t have done that. Totally. Especially knowing it would be found out by the world.
Enough buyouts and the parent can have creative acronyms.
That’s an interesting thought. Are mergers usually bad overall? Would it be better for the assets and workers to just be lost? I do think monopolies are bad simply because of the domination of control and the loss of competition, but if X and Y are two of many companies and Y is failing, why is it bad for X to save some of the parts of Y to incorporate it into their own? Maybe there should be limitations and regulations on how much can be done and to what?
I don’t even know the right questions to ask, I just thought the idea was interesting in its absoluteness, and wondered if it might be too simple to say no merging or buying at all.
You’re correct on their limitations. That doesn’t stop corporations from implementing them, sometimes as an extra tool, sometimes as a rash displacement of paid labor, and often without your last step, checking the results they output.
LLMs are a specialized tool, but CEOs are using it as a hammer where they see nails everywhere, and it has displaced some workers. A few have realized the mistake and backtracked, but they didn’t necessarily put workers back. As per usual anytime there is displacement.
And for the record, while LLMs are technically under the general AI classification, they are not AI in the sense of what the term AI brings to the mind (AGI). But they have definitely been marketed as such because what started as AI research turned into a money grab that is still going on.
“No one knows more about construction than me.”
Maybe. It depends on if they raised prices first to capture the losses. I know that seems like what a business would do first and what everyone predicted, but did they?
If it’s true, then Costco just needs to give away free hot dogs meals (drink and side) to their patrons for a year.
Remember during Covid when he was given a softball question for Trump to respond to the public who might be afraid. He did the same thing. He couldn’t even give a bland, Hollywood President level answer. He attacked the reporter asking it.
Is it $400 or $500? Article says both. And what about a charge for theft, why is that not there?
If he had reported her visa to ICE, this probably wouldn’t have become a crime and he’d be part of the team. But he went rogue.

It’s a pyramid scheme!
What a great gig. Get paid in a contract (probably up front), cause lots of damage without any accountability, and then quit early.
Tell them to also put up other religious documents. Suddenly they’ll object. Demonstrating the whole point of separation. If only we had other places to practice our religion… oh, right, we do.
“The Future is Now!”

“We went too far.”
“Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.”
Windows ME wasn’t a sadist. It would have to actually work to get that far. The best thing that happened to a laptop I had which came with ME installed was to put Win98 on it. Ran great after that.
He should have gone with Colossus. There was a great 1970 scifi film named that about AI and… oh no, never mind.
Some for 50 years. Trump didn’t come out of nowhere. Him running for office used to be a joke.
Except they knew times would change, and so would those things in the public eye, so the document they wrote had to be malleable as well. If you think about it, while a lot of society has improved in respect to those topics, there’s still people who think that way, and we haven’t come as far as we should have in this time. So let’s not get too high and mighty because again, we could have been a lot further along by now.
Keep in mind that future us will be doing the same thing, looking back at what we’re doing or not doing and wondering, wtf was their problem?
The Founders: “Look, you guys were supposed to keep improving on it more than you did.”
Wow, the comments. Bunch of racist assholes. “They ran, they must be illegals.” No, they ran because some masked and armed men came after people illegally without consequence.
11 counts of it.
