Mass surveillance by a benevolent AI is the best outcome for humanity. That or correcting the evil out of man by genetic engineering.

Point 10: don't this makes you a target? Being part of the tribe might be painful, but getting thrown into the jungle alone is a hell of a lot worse.

My comment was in response to the nonsensical logic of parent post, not about the current working logic of the industry. If paying was illegal then Apple has no reason to choose Google, as OP stated. Apple is incentivized to push its own se

Why does Google currently pays Apple then? If Google could not pay then Apple would just push its own search products. Why choose Google if they don't benefit from it?

How old are you? Major consensus among youngsters is that there is no such thing as "serving your country".

The system does not care for their well being because they are redundant. Drug use was frowned upon during the Cold War because we needed people to win a industrial war against a much bigger enemy. We don't need them anymore, so the sy

I have a feeling that making chips at home will require the ditching of silicon based technology. Yes, this will be accompanied by performance loss. Perhaps organic semiconductors have less complicated processes. Or techniques like molecula

Regarding space junk, can't we laser them out of existence? Or use laser to ablate their surface and put them into reentry orbit? That, I suppose, requires a orbit based laser.

>> "The only time that’s true is if your revenues are flat year over year." That also makes a lot of assumptions on its own. Baseline is: profits matter. Capitalists want their cut. Profits is the extraction of the "thi

No offense but, how the hell could it be accurate?

Let's hope it doesn't put everyone out at the same time.

People being put out of a job don't like. Out of the blue, right?

I once went through quite an experience. Used to work with a guy that was awarded a big prize in his field. I think one day he got tired of being treated as "some kind of genius", as he said. He started to discuss a topic one day,

My plan is pretty straightforward: - keep healthy - increase ownership of capital - achieve age escape velocity

Of course not. But they don't operated based on evidence, they do based on fear. Like Apple, John Deere and pretty much any industry today.

Really wrong? Consider China. Consider Putin in Russia. Consider the current socioeconomic scenario in US. Jerome Powell (and others, for various reasons) makes decisions and millions have their lives affected. Power is very concentrated.

But they are not doing that. They are destroying the habitat YOU depend on. They have the resources to build another one. Elysium.

8B ruled by less than 100,000. Would go as far as to argue less than 10,000. "The game" is brutal. The players only care for themselves. "The game" is as unfair as it gets. Most don't live side by side, they survive

Children learn by example. There are exceptions of course, and if you believe in exceptions rather than rules then go spend all your income in lottery tickets.

It's only a matter of time before some internet "thing" on some obscure field of medicine or surgery gets somebody killed. There is no Utopy. Embrace the nature of reality. AI will become norm, and it will bring all the good

Try to move with wheels in a world built for people with legs. You have to hack your way. Or you thought hacking was a computer thing only?

Since you know how much fuel you start with, can't you integrate something like the time spent firing the engine and use that as gauge?

In the book 48 Laws of Power from Robert Greene, Law 13 addresses this. If you held them by past deeds people will feel that they owe you something and nobody wants to owe anything to anyone. It is better instead to show them what they have
