Yes!

Finally a nuanced take in this community.

Cars wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t so oversized

You should be able to own the right to bring a novel idea into production, after it’s generally available then it should have no protection.

Basically if you come up with an idea, you get to get the first initial rounds of profits to make it worth your while, that’s it.

Even with a bailout, I’ll take some admission of making a mistakes over the insanity we have today.

To address shortages, companies are turning to global markets. As a result, Canada, Mexico, and South Korea became the biggest suppliers of high-power transformers for AI data centers to AI data centers.

God I wish democracy meant that we could vote on decisions like this

That assumes it’s done additively.

I think a lot of these AI automation promises come down to:

Are you adding a tool thereby increasing the overall quality of service and cost.

Or are you trying to reduce cost even if it means reducing service quality.

The first one doesn’t take any job away and makes everything just a bit better but more expensive.

The second one is a race to the bottom strategy that just comes down to capitalism doing its thing.

Oh this one is going to be interesting, cause the other component shortages were not something thin clients needed.

I think one of the reasons why consumer facing AI content is failing so bad is because we have had good video content for decades so it’s super obvious when a video is just off.

I think this relates to the main reason why AI is failing (or at least not popular with consumers). It automatically just means the product has less quality than you’ve been used to for your entire life. It hasn’t really provided anything new to consumers.

And that’s with real people.

I would bet far more money on real devs in another country being able to replace devs than “AI”.

The only good thing out of NFTs was that I learned what fungible means.

Anyone else a little surprised by the realization that if an enemy took out all datacenters it would actually improve a lot of things and take us back 20 years to the golden age of the internet?

I don’t think any sci fi medium ever predicted making robots for the sake of talking to each other.

The fuck is the benefit.

Usually when robots start talking to each other, that’s the start of the conflict in the book.

It’s things like this that make me, as a man, to prefer male servers/drivers.

If women chose other women, that’s fine but I do feel bad about the men getting less work, so I think it’s only fair to balance the demand gap by allowing men to chose male servers/drivers.

That behaviour would probably have the opposite effect that the people who created this rule would want.

stored locally on your device

While I would trust that for a FOSS app, it would be too easy for a proprietary app to just “backup” your data.

With the physical method, everyone can be sure they are anonymous through common sense.

How about a system where I can go physically to a shop, show them my id, then the clerk allows me to buy a box of tokens that I picked up myself from the shelf.

I can pay with cash, the clerk just looks at my face and ID, nothing gets entered into the system.

Then I have a bag of tokens that could have various expire dates. Some could last years. They are not tied to any person in anyway but only adults could access them.

And yes, I can totally give it to some kids, but that’s no different than me buying kids alcohol.

Still better than the sandwich from WWI

Ideally yeah but what if big tech controls all the jobs cause they just keep acquiring other companies?

Don’t get me wrong it was a good episode but

Man, I want to watch it again now

Ah I see what you mean, I kind of meant that with my poorly worded take on jinx being impulsive.

I thought their strategy was to work on characters in the first season and basically focus on plot in the second. I did enjoy the second season very much but it did have a different feel to it.

I personally didn’t love how they ended the first season and imo the first season third episode was the highlight of season 1. Season 2 also had episode 7 which imo was very good world building with a clever twist. So given all that I didn’t feel a big drop in quality from 1 to 2.

Maybe I would on the second watch

I too am curious, imo the headphone jack removal was the first sign of enshitification.
