Your argument is... precisely contrary to everything I've said. How can that be?

The laws are not against users! Use it as you wish! That doesn't entitle you to hate and punish those who prefer to live without it; people who have been around much longer than you.

Here's a clear example of what I mean: suppose life becomes significantly automated due to AI, but 10% of the country is made up of those darn Luddites from the 1500's who are clogging our streets with their horse carriages, still require physical mail instead of cleaner and cheaper digital communication, etc, etc.... let's pass laws to exert a greater tax on them for the damaging effects their backwards and outdated thinking are having on our global utopia!

In case someone gets offended, I'm actually an admirer of the Amish. I'm just painting a picture.

Your premise is incorrect. They have a lifestyle based on their religion. It existed way before yours. You passing a law against a peaceful, highly prosperous, time-tested, religion-based lifestyle is unjust and oppressive.

Not about struggling to adapt, but a willful choice for personal reasons.

Logical and useful product. Good job.

Hope you get a good govt contract if that's an aim.

Precisely the ideology and attitude we need protection from

Exclusion from society, and the object of anger at "those darn Luddites". You can't tell an Amish he can't use physical coins. Or that his buggy is too slow for the roads (not highways), etc.

I've had the concern for years that AI users (or AI itself) will eventually consider non-AI users a pain, because humans will become inefficient in lots of workloads and management, sometimes causing things to come down to a screeching halt, relatively speaking.

We have to solidify laws protecting anti-AI-ers if that's their choice.

I don't really work in that field, but wonder about employees who dedicated their careers to X Microsoft technology, now gone.

It's a normal part of life, but the corporate-speak is just not my cup of tea.

Consider https://github.com/storytold

Look at this corporate-slop-speak for how they say "we're firing people":

"more ways for employees to shape their next chapter".

Huh, you were right. I chatted with AI for a while on this as well. Interesting cases, especially the crypto king CZ's pardon. Though unproven by courts, their circumstances and timelines strongly smell like pay-for-pardon, even without proof of agreements.

And your source of information is internet hearsay, I gather?

So our obsession with jail is nuts, because... you lean towards no one willfully signed off on a lie, in a company with a history like Meta/Facebook, in a $25B fine?

Or land of the "not that stupid to trust the CCP".

Yea, because it's in their financial interest.

Remember when they bought github in order to "benefit" the open-source community, then we found out they used everyone's data to train their models and sell data to other companies? Yea...Microsoft.

When I first saw the car slowly invert and stay inverted on the ramp...."what the heck am I looking at exactly?"

Amazing suction power. Waiting to see a video of its crazy turning power.

That iSeeCars study is shaky. The death counts come from federal data, but miles driven are their own private estimates, so nobody can check the math.

The more rigorous data is the IIHS driver death rates, which use real registration data and adjust for driver age and gender (iihs.org/topics/driver-death-rates). It shows the RWD Model 3 is about half its class average (15 vs 29 deaths per million vehicle-years) and the Model S is about average. The AWD Model 3 is above average (39 vs 29), which points more to how fast cars get driven than to the car itself. IIHS hasn’t published a Model Y rate yet.

So Teslas aren’t the deadliest brand. The faster versions show more risk, which is the same pattern IIHS sees with muscle cars.

Most people make money ultimately by lying and deceiving/manipulating. Either works for a company whose income is based on the practice, or directly participates in them.

Of course at the expense of others. In this case, our health.

Is your resume any more truthful than these ingredient labels?

TDS...

Besides their dark patterns, whenever a company participates in the shady data-broker industry at Adobe's level, I celebrate any such success in OSS.

AI will never take over my developer job! AI.... just coded a more performant and lightweight adobe suite in rust? darn...

So, what's Adobe Acrobat's competitive advantage to justify $15-25/mo vs. a free PDFCraft?

Nowadays useful software either resists being copied/distilled or it will be with minimal human effort.

Look at Adobe Photoshop was just ripped as a clean, open sourced project:

Two patent thieves partner up.

and yet, despite the warnings in books and movies for the past 100 years, that's exactly where we're racing towards.

So they're halving usage for people who already paid $200 for the month, without a 30-day notice?

If so, that's totally a bait-and-switch.

Lol, I quoted China. How is that shifting anything? They did that themselves.

Microsoft is one to talk.... Remember when MS trained copilot on all your github code?

The part where China "begs" the US not to weaponize space, and then talks of how China wants to militarily dominate space... Such typical tactics to delay US progress.

Tesla has tons of data to the same. Elon ftw.
