Traditionally during such busts the government starts outright confiscating bank accounts or otherwise enacts some fiscal policy that renders all savings (especially those in cash) completely worthless in a last bid to pass the buck onto the 99%.
What gets me is less fast food and more the middle ground food, frozen stuff you throw in the oven that’s not quite processed to hell and back but definetaly not as healthy as cooking completely from fresh. It’s been getting smaller over the years but the increasing replacement of every ingrediant under the sun with slightly different variations of palm oil means that despite the decrease in size the calorie count has either remained the same or actually gone up. More expensive, less filling yet somehow more fattening.
Also the supposed AI regulator which is also an AI company said its AI got out and hacked someone and all they had to do was tell it to do that and open all the doors!.
This sounds less like a new exploit or anything to do with AI and just a rewording of the age old problem of companies storing the fucking passwords in plain text and hoping no one notices.
But it’s also incredibly fucked up that you have to censor yourself in basically all public forums (including just being outside in many places) just incase a person or bot accidentally or maliciously interprets what you said as arrest worthy. Controlling speech is the first step to controlling thought.
It really feels like the options are:
Aren’t microsoft products half vibe coded at this point anyway? Look at all these fires I put out, says fireman with trunk full of flares and gasoline.
This is why I occasionally send close friends obviously stupid messages with a ton of keywords, to throw some more noise into the surveillance aperatus.
We left the door open and told our dog to go outside and it did! Look at what an amazing escape artist our dog is!
Damn that’s around 1% of the entire global GDP…
Eh its still a win, a large scale test cast for a still fairly unproven technology is bound to provide some useful information.
Also the magic fruit seems kinda like actual sapience by todays standards? Pretty great thing to have.
And the already predicted heavy damage to the ozone layer from aluminium oxide from re-entering sattelites would be increased a thousand fold so somewhere on that list is learning to live without oxygen or sunlight.
One throwaway line about how the transporter works being disasembling the user (as opposed to say warping space or making the start/destination mathematically identical) lead to decades of ethical debate.
iirc you can’t expect not to be caught in random photos or videos but you do have a right for someone not to film you specifically, someone wearing these glasses is doing that in every interaction.
Facilitating corruption is the biggest single component of the UK economy, ain’t no way its ever meeting those requirements.
The greek gods are basically how a regular person would react if given godlike power too, yeh you might try and make thigns better at first but eventually unlimited power would mean unlimited boredom and you’d end up using magic to troll people which is basically the greek gods main passtime when they’re not focussing on one specific person.
Even in the anime the random skills are just horribly balanced, doesn’t he end up being forced to join that guild after a duel where he’s objectively the better fighter but the guild leader just has a random ‘actually I can stop time’ skill?
The prisoners dilema is a worst case scenario as you can have an infinite number of prisoners but just one can create the worst possible scenario for everyone else, the commons generally has the ability to sustain a couple of selfish people without breaking down. Everyone has their own threshold for how much abuse of shared resources they can tolerate before they too will begin to abuse those resources out of self preservation, society stops working properly when that process hits a tipping point that makes it self sustaining so it encompassas everyone.
It’s more a failing socialist state thing, happened to my grandparents on my moms side, Capitalist states tend to go the inflation route.
