  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

  • Wouldn’t entertainment venues rather retain full control?

    Pretty sure ticketmaster has all the control.

    How would we get out from under Ticketmaster’s monopoly?

    Using a decentralized and open network (aka NFTs).

    If the government can just seize property, then why would we ask anyone else who owns a plot of land?

    It's not about using NFTs to seize land. It's more that governments are terrible at keeping records. Moving proof of ownership to an open and decentralized network could be an improvement.

    FWIW I think capitalism with destroy the planet with or without NFTs. But it's fairly obtuse to deny that NFTs could disintermediate a variety of centralized cartels.

  • The difference is that none of this is "AI".

  • None of this stuff is "AI". A translation program is no "AI". Spam detection is not "AI". Image detection is not "AI". Cars are not "AI".

    None of this is "AI".

  • And yet none of this is actually "AI".

    The wide range of these applications is a great example of the "AI" grift.

  • "AI" doesn't exist. Nobody that you know is actually using "AI". It's not even close to being a real thing.

  • Because "the economy" is a phony construct based on bullshit measurements that only benefits capital. It doesn't include anything that people actually want: more leisure, healthcare, shelter, clean air/water, etc. Even when "the economy" is doing "good" under democrats, the poor are still being crushed and exploited perhaps even more so.

  • Don't blame the people who just read the headline.

    Blame the people who constantly write misleading headlines.

    There is literally no "artificial intelligence" here either.

  • How much of a problem this is probably depends on the subject.

    I think it also depends on the extensiveness. Basically every corporate page on wikipedia is PR, right? It means a huge chunk of the website is just commercials. That tracks with my experience - especially on corporate pages and similar.

  • Pretty sure wikipedia is almost entirely a compendium of PR posts.

    Lol no. This is beyond pseudo-science. Not even accurate for monkeys much less humans.

  • I don't need to grasp some "truth" about "human nature".

    I just want a non-genocidal candidate. Murdering people is really the worst form of inequality.

    That's the actual problem at the heart of this fascism.

  • The zio regime has benefited massively from total support for their genocide. Their influence is far greater and completely open. USA doesn't openly serve russia like that.
