completely untrue factoid that constantly gets repeated for some reason, there are 3 vacant units per homeless in Los Angeles for example https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/are-there-more-vacant-homes...

the ratio is about the same in New York City proper, and if you include the entire country, the ratio skyrockets to >27 vacant units per homeless person https://www.self.inc/info/empty-homes/

Damn, I wonder what book you read to make you so smart?

>I suspect the author is thinking back to more than ten years ago.

Yes, "good ol' days" types will always move the goalposts further and further back when you point out that things were exactly the same in the mythical time period they want to return to

>Even the most pessimistic estimates of civilian casualties are on the order of tens of thousands.

blatant lie, as has been pointed out to you multiple times now

he worked at palantir for 8 years dude, do you think he has the capacity to discern if the Facebook news feed was a net positive for society

bizarre fixation on china huh

>If the King of England walked into the Bank of England and wrote a hand-written bond for GBP1k with a bic pen on back of copier paper, they'll take it.

what has gone wrong in your brain that you think that?

>It also irks me how the robots are just humanoids. Like for example, why have a head with two eyes.

the risk-averse, cowardly, snivelling product design is really one of the most odious things about the whole Tesla shitshow. they had the opportunity to completely redesign the automobile from scratch, but chose to meekly clone the exact same bog standard sedan design everyone else converged on 50 years ago, clinging to some form response about safety despite the front of a Tesla crumpling like paper in any collision anyway

>but is it that bad of an idea?

yes, operating any kind of heavy machinery over a shaky wireless WAN with hundreds of milliseconds of latency and multiple percentage packet loss is, in fact, a bad idea

>Previous poster was pretty clear their advice has nothing to do with religion

>Sometimes, this is the gift of having a trained chaplain, pastor

oh, yeah?

>Liu Zhou, a “market maker” working with MyTrade MM, allegedly told promoters of NexFundAI that MyTrade MM was better than its competitors because they “control the pump and dump” allowing them to “do inside trading easily.”

hilarious, but running an operation of this scale to only charge 18 people? this is like squishing a few individual ants, then going on a victory lap bragging to national media about what a canny and clever exterminator you are. great job cleaning up 0.0001% of the market 10 years late!

why that reaction? what impact does one or the other entail?

>Then populists took that away too, because “people power” can never go wrong, right?

the blatant, sneering disdain for lowly commoners that supposed proponents of "democracy" are continually unable to contain for even a few paragraphs at a time will somehow never fail to shock me

Damn imagine if everyone's vote was equally weighted, what a disaster for democracy that would be. Mob rule!!

oops, this thread's just been censored off the front page, better luck next time

How else would he make two hundred billion dollars? Paying employees coerced into selling their labor a wage which is less than the value their labor creates? Ridiculous

Yeah, it looks bad, but only if you pretend that the ideas these visionaries pioneered were worthless. To take a single example, it might seem obscene that Bezos' net worth would take 32 million years of continuous work for the average Amazon warehouse worker to accrue, but without him who would have come up with the idea of using a computer to buy things on the internet?

>I'd describe your system as closer to mob rule.

lmfao this is always, always, always the refrain

>You can't just arbitrarily set the status quo that way,

huh, what natural, physical laws are being broken? collecting taxes exceeds the speed of light or goes below 0K or something?

>people with an estate that is taxable — worth more than $13.6 million, or $27.2 million for a married couple

the regulatory capture on display in the USA is absolutely pathetic hahaha

>"we can't have the federal government imposing a cost on the citizens / corporations"

same kind of moronic non-argument for why the US gov can't invest in healthcare, or housing, or education; none of these things are "costs" and all of them are very high ROI investments, but Americanoids are incapable of thinking more than one fiscal quarter into the future

300ms for inference is "fast" now? not even remotely usable in realtime

...woof. seems like we're already to the point where every openAI product launch is about half as interesting as the last one

why bother thinking for yourself what art is enjoyable or not when you can let The Invisible Hand do it for you?

feigning an inability to distinguish between private property and personal property to manufacture resistance to reform of political economy, what a concept

>Contrary to popular belief congress passes all sorts of laws on a bipartison basis regularly - just with little publicity, do to the mundane nature of many of the topics.

This must be why life keeps getting better and better for Americans each year!

>But they account for most of the US GDP and private sector jobs.

wrong again, small businesses do not account for even 45% of US gdp. sorry to hear your jet ski rental isn't doing well

playing video games is a CRIME against hard working RIGHTS HOLDERS

>Emulating a console that already exists just feels wrong.

feelings aren't real, you can do whatever you want in this life! :)

it won't be as easy to enshittify a product no one actually wants to use in the first place
