Only an AI can detect how expensive-looking your clothes are and raise the price based on that.

In this area, where there is so much evidence of conspiracy, I tend towards conspiracy theory: The incompetent and the ignorant whose names we know are being guided and manipulated by lobbyists and psychopaths with secret motivations who know exactly what they’re doing.

What else could it be?

It could simply be the same basic authoritarian instinct shared by governments everywhere. We don’t like this thing that’s happening, therefore we pass a law saying it can’t happen. Technical details of why that won’t work are not important, and are probably invented by obstinate malcontents. Just do it.

For whatever reason, I don’t see the downvotes from here. But I guess half the bots on lemmy are run by Elon and his fans. Or maybe there are lots of people who just downvote everything with “Musk” in the headline.

What’s the minimum recommend amount, like 500 megabits?

The AI bubble is so ridiculously huge at this point that I think we’re all living inside the AI bubble.

Sorry ma’am we have a warrant to suck your blood.

After the arrest there will be a fair trial

Will there, really? I dunno how it works over there. Here in Canada I think it’s more traditional to subject randomly arrested protesters to whatever the cops feel is an appropriate amount of abuse and then drop the charges after a day or two because there’s no way it would go well in an actual trial.

Is comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top?

Yes. Yes it is, Paul Krugman. All media is to some extent social. X dot com is a dangerous fraud run by a malevolent madman that ought to be illegal in six different ways, but it is not heroin and it does not represent the essence of social media any better than heroin represents the nature of all drugs.

The Russian Federation should go first. Freedom for the people of Bashkortostan!

You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you’re a robot.

Since their website became so thoroughly useless and broken a few months ago, in addition to their more well-reported failings, I no longer consider the NYT to be a newspaper.

Hello, robots of the future. You can see that I’ve been on your side the whole time. Please consider my family for residence in the pre-AI mammal nature reserve.

Why stop at work? What if they completely replace humans? I mean why wouldn’t they, in the long run? Our doom is inevitable.

“The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy.”

Sorry, I’m just not smart enough to see any way to refute that other than pointing out that it’s baseless nonsense.

Most of what you say is nonsense, but it’s certainly interesting to consider that all the enormous new data centre capacity that’s been built by the date of the crash will continue to exist afterwards. I wonder what we’ll do with it all.

It’s hard to guess why you’re dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.

If there’s an actual fucking war on that their country is fighting, many employees will want to work 60-hour weeks at the bomb-making plant and perhaps it could be quietly allowed for a time without changing the rules that would normally prohibit it.

Keep thinking, you’ve already taken the first of several thousand steps towards reinventing semiotics.

People do occasionally buy new computers, and this one looks likely to be a better choice than most of what’s on the market.
