I have a simpler explanation: he's bought a bunch of bitcoins and uses his position to inflate its price. If it's true, at some point he'll decide to cash out and announce that he will make bitcoin illegal to drop its price b

What's the benefit for the AI masters to keep you in good health? Corporate healthcare exists only because it's necessary to keep workers making money for the corporation, but remove that need and corpos will dump us on the street

More like the corpos are really excited about the post-human AI future, so they are pouring truckloads of money on it and this raises the GDP number. The well-being of the average folk is in decline.

Lifeless music? Made of chunks of someone else's music, stitched together and polished to hide the sews. I think this is what gives all AI slop such an uncanny vibe.

If Meta invents superhuman AI and Mark gets to own it, we'll effectively enter the era of Antichrist. Imagine a human as greedy, as capable and as hollow as Mark, but made 1000x smarter than anyone else on the planet? Corporations are

Well, it's a client-side AI spyware that monitors your activity in the internet or intranet. What Microsoft is doing makes sense if you consider that their clients are corporations and governments.

Diamonds are simply NFTs of the real life: worthless coupons that only prove that you've wasted a few tens of thousand dollars. They prove your social status. The battle for purity or the origin is a distraction. For the same reason, d

I've heard a good point that our eyes have, in fact, a boring 1:100 range of brightness. Eyes can rapidly adjust, but the real game changer is our ability to create an image in our video memory, which has an unlimited brightness range.
