Those are certainly some... examples. Not things I would hold up as a sign that PE is a good thing since all those businesses look like they are perpetually on the edge of collapse around my area. Dilapidated, mostly empty parking lots, poo

They can't sell "Xirdus's Dung Service", but they can still sell their assets like the dung cart, shovel, dung pit, etc.

I can do anecdotes too. My father had his heart in afib for over 3 months straight as US hospitals and doctors jerked him around and set appointments weeks out before they finally removed his thyroid, despite a family history of thyroid pro

Meh, I don't see it warping people anymore than watching major news networks did and does. The only difference is instead of being force fed a certain perspective of bullshit, social media lets you fish around for your own brand of bul

The only reason gambling isn't 10x more dangerous than crack is because crack gets you arrested.

Decent people don't become billionaires because they recognize they already have enough money to cover everything they and everyone in their family for the next 100+ years could ever want or need.

Anyone who claims AI is going to kill us I just assume is either an idiot, not knowledgeable enough about the technology to have a worthwhile opinion on it, or is fearmongering to hype their AI investment.

The history of government regulations mostly only being made in response to people dieing seems to refute that. If what you claimed is true, those businesses killing people would have gone under, rather than continuing until there is enough

How is less regulation suppose to fix any of that?

Yeah but most of these politicians stopped using computers in the DOS era if not before. They will take whatever BS is told to them, cut it in half, and still end up with half bullshit. They have no frame of reference for anything involving

Surveillance cameras never did shit for stopping crime, don't know why anybody thought Flock would be different.

Shipping containers just never made sense to me. They cost way too much and are not a convient shape for anything but packed shipping.

Why not everything over a certain size? It would be impossible to manage every 1 man business or job, but every 100 or 500 or 1000+ business already has significant management.

"Be the sacrifice" has been the motto since the industrial revolution and the automated loom. What's after AI, be the sacrifice so we can live in squalor out in space? Im pretty sure most people would be fine with a 10% slowe

Marx envisioned the working class have control of and directly receiving the dividends of their economy, and thus from AI also. I certainly don't expect to get a dividend payment from AI anytime soon just for being part of the working

If the nation was mostly co-ops, and possibly even unions if they are given full autonomy and covered the majority of the nation, fits the definition of socialism. Plus co-ops have naturally been on the rise for decades. The idea that there

Why is socialism a pipe dream? Unions and co-ops aren't pipe dreams, and if we had nation wide unions or converted most businesses into co-ops, we would arguably be living under a socialist economy. If people had direct voting power ov

To an American it looks painfully small and slow for coming off a highway and would be overwhelmed often with cars and semi-truck traffic. One semi-truck would stop an entire circles worth of cars with its ass end swinging in and out. And h

I would take those stances if they didn't spend any real time picking out or curating their furnature and goods. If they spent time more time curating better AI images or asked anybody with modern taste and style what they thought we p

I wouldn't call pointing out a business's activities and shop features as much of a threat. You either live with your business choices or change them. Business is not entitled to people's patronage, they can refuse them for a

Why should corporations be given rights equal to humans? I see no problem to okaying one activity for individuals but banning it from businesses and corporations.

Who said that? NASA had plans for reusable boosters if they were ever to get funding for it before spaceX was even an idea.

Not in anything resembling permenant habitation any time soon. We can't even make a self sustaining biosphere here on Earth, how would being on Mars make that any more possible instead of harder?

They could also be betting that there will only be 1 or 2 big winners. And if they don't win they are saving on expenses, if they do win then they will have all the money they need to upgrade later if they want.

I don't get why you would view something tasting exactly the same every time as a benefit.

I don't care if a small amount of cops get in trouble if the other 99% of the time they get away with it.

I don't like folding laundry, but that's why I just lay all my clothes out flat, which still negates the desire for a robot to do it.

by AngryData 10d ago
Yeah but nobody has had any successful ideas for sorting and folding random fabric and clothes in any other way. Its not that people wouldn't mind a non-humanoid laundry robot/device, the problem is nobody has found any other solu

Well if you don't know anything then it is just a numbers game. Most people pre-industrial has a high likely hood of you being a random subsidence farmer. And provided you didn't pick a standout point in history you would most of

Im sure people thought the same thing among all the different power structures and technology and cultural norms throughout history, and yet how many of them still stand today?
