  • 'We had to get out of the way': The backlash over delivery robots

    Jump

  • This is just one of many, many pieces of technology that have been just put into public from tech companies whether we like it or now. And they do it because they know there is no regulation, nor will there be anytime soon to reign it in.

  • Reddit's auto-moderation

  • This is shit, yet their banning people has always been inconsistent and unpredictable without knowing why. I got banned 3 years ago with absolutely no explanation why - just "your banned". When I did the auto-appeal I just got a response "sorry, your banned." Never a word as to why so fuck Reddit.

  • I think the silent generation is getting an undeserved pass on this. They are the ones born just before and during WWII, you know the generation of the current President and the one before him. Those MF are still kicking - most of America's top leadership comes form that generation.

  • Not to take away from your post, it just got me thinking about something.

    This type of selfishness probably comes from the decades upon decades of both obvious and subtle messaging around scarcity of pretty much everything. Just the advertising phrase "ACT NOW! before it's gone." was and is used all the time. We have been conditioned to believe that everything is limited and at the same time we need to have everything. So when your entire life you've been inundated with messages of not-enough I can see why there is a fear of losing it all.

  • California Passes Backdoor Bill to Control the 3D Printing Hobby and Spy on Small Designers, Prototypers, and Hobbyists

  • It's almost like governments of all sizes have been captured by companies and now protect them against the evil consumer which is completely backwards to what governmental organizations were originally created for.

  • 'I was dumb as a rock': Hardcore MAGA couple ditches Trump after getting 'kick in teeth'

    Jump

  • Some observers have persuasively argued that the Glass-Steagall act, which Clinton famously repealed, was already moot by the time he repealed it, that the banking business had figured out legal workarounds for all the activities it was intended to prevent.

    So you don't repeal it you update it to fix the holes.

  • Obama’s bailout probably saved his home

    Well..... maybe but it sure did enrich the motherfuckers who created the crash in the first place.

  • It's well known that conservatives empathy is socially shallow (has to affect me or my family) and because of that trait I never really thought there would be a big shift in their thinking. But goddamn it if trump's fuck ups haven't done a speed run on changing views. When the man who is supposed to be looking out for the American people says "I don't think about how much the American people are hurting" and then acts accordingly you're going to get more MAGA people hitting that socially shallow empathy level.

  • Yes. the way Obama and his administration dealt with that crash was poorly thought out (to be charitable), but I really don't think from what I read, this guy was that nuanced in his thinking. Probably more along the lines of "Democrats are bad therefore this is their fault."

  • The problem with roundabouts in the States is that a large percentage of drivers were never taught how to navigate a roundabout we were just given them with an implied "you'll figure it out."

  • If most of the jobs get replaced by AI, how people will have income to spend on products which will likely be produced by AI itself?

  • Not being a troll. I'm genuinely curious. What do you see as the new jobs/careers in 10 - 15+ years?

  • These companies are not thinking that far ahead and they don’t care about the consequences even if it hurts them too.

    Yep. We've already see that with climate change so it's not a stretch to apply it to AI.

  • "You'll eventually give in" Tells you everything you need to know about the power of large tech companies in the US .

    We have the money and the power to force this technology in to the mainstream. Tech companies know that Congress is way too old, way too corrupt, and way too slow to really do anything about regulating stuff like this in a reasonable time frame. They have no real barriers and the heads of these companies don't give a shit about the user as long as they pay their monthly subscription.
