> most people don't know it's happening.

And if they know, they cheer it on. Just read this thread.

"Schools don't understand AI", so they don't deserve search?

Corporations like Google are not their for their users, not even the paying ones. They are there to maximize profits, and users are just a necessary evil to achieve that.

Nothing but brute force would get us to pay off that debt. So that may be one thing where AI is actually beneficial.

It doesn't say for whose safety. It's certainly not yours.

Additionally, how stable are those ToS? Do they change every few days, like their models?

> until they start catering to the needs of the communities they want to operate in

Never gonna happen, can't set bad precedent by breaking protocol. They'd rather bribe their way out of any problems, which is in line with protocol.

> Failure as a positive

Since failure is such a likely outcome in a startup, "failure as a positive" is a mindset that a startup accelerator must propagate to keep founders going. And when you sell a message for long enough, you start to believe it yourself.

Even if they're parody (this one is), there are enough people now who take them seriously and put them into practice. I have never seen any other tech that surfaces that amount of idiocy.

We clearly need a New Internet Startup with the usual main business of subscriptions, ads and selling user data, with an ancillary side business of selling GPS dog collars.

Of course the collar needs to be a physical product that actually works, but if it doesn't, you can have AI hallucinate the coordinates. See, there's even a pretext for bringing AI in the mix, so why isn't this solved already?

I must be hot shit then, my portafilter has no plasic and neither does my grinder.

"most people" are in the set of things the trillionaires don't give a shit about. Their market distortion has already made PCs unaffordable and electricity prices rise, among other adverse effects. What else has to happen so you take notice?

> Not if the weapon is an indiscriminate one and makes everyone worse off.

Nuclear weapons are indiscriminate and make everyone worse off if used. And everybody has them. Your optimism is unfounded.

I admire your optimism.

I think they're trying to be even shittier than Microslop.

New lies for new hype. What a surprise.

Denial of service as a means of extortion? Figures. If you let the monster corporations do whatever the fuck they want, they will.

> ...distros run by volunteers (Debian, Arch, Alpine...) have shipped the fix. Meanwhile Ubuntu, made by a company that sells security subscriptions, hasn't.

This tells you all about the priorities of companies. It's making profit, not protecting their users. Perverse incentives and all that.

They steal video recordings for free, how generous.

This insufferable band of Holy Scouts was the reason I never liked TNG. I find DS9 much more believable, up to and including Trump as Gul Dukat. That character was prescient. There is one difference between the two though. While both are malignant pathological narcissists, the fictional Gul Dukat knew how to fake grace once in a while. The real Trump doesn't give a shit.

How many minutes does your average AI data center last on that amount?

The old adage comes to mind that you don't get answers on the internet by asking questions but by posting the wrong answer.

So you were being serious. Fascinating.

WTF. They should abolish DST.

People love using worse or outright wrong terms for stuff. Especially if everybody has gotten used to the wrong term already.

Yes, it is.

I invoke Poe's law on this.

> used to discover unexplored combinations

Couldn't actual combinatoric software do this much more targeted, cheaper, faster, and more controlled? What does using a slot machine add here, except heating the planet even more?

> Consuming the seed corn is a road to eventually having no corn.

That's what it means to be poor. You have to eat first. You don't have the choice to not eat so you can save the cost for something else.

> a country can't exactly tax the poor.

Reality would like a word with you...

That makes us two already :)

Everyone else has amnesia.
