When everyone has the power of AI and the scalability offered by the virtual world, just a few liars can ruin the entire internet. It's amazing how the "AI abundance" advocates don't understand something so blatantly obv

There likely isn't a problem defined by some metaphysical being or alien that's being solved for. And if there was, how would you assume that our current "search" isn't incredibly fast when compared to the alternati

I would extend this to include companies like Facebook that study your data to derive deeper insights about you. I want to be entitled to every conclusion they reach about me from my own data, so I can correct whatever assumptions they have

Any lawyers here able to explain why the fine is negligible? Feels like a complete joke, encouraging dishonesty as the winning strategy in business. Are judges scared they'll be assassinated or something? Do we need to anonymize them?

I imagine insurers are working very hard to identify which low probability events are likely going to happen for specific people. They might be doing detailed continual examinations of their homes for example.

Yes. Here's the actual covered event from the policy: "The Sickness, Injury or death of you, your Family Member, your Traveling Companion or your Service Animal. The Sickness or Injury must first commence while your coverage is in

They don't allow at home tests. That's my point. If I had wanted my claim to go through, I would have needed to tell my host, who at the time was infectious, to go have a doctor confirm it. So the price to defend against fraud--wh

Insurance bothers me for a few reasons: 1. What pisses me off more than anything else, it enables fraud that otherwise wouldn't exist. People manufacturing calamities and then claiming insurance allows dishonest people to get ahead in

Insurance incentives would drive them to want to predict as accurately as possible who is going to cost them money, and then deny them coverage. They make money from selling to people who are afraid of a calamity but likely won't exper

It is not the same. You can build your own business and the guy with one hundred thousand dollars does not have any ability to prevent you from doing that under the law. The hierarchy under capitalism is very different.

It certainly is more democratic than any alternatives I'm aware of. If you don't want someone to accumulate more economic influence, do not pay them. The government will not jail you for doing so. If business is controlled by a de

I agree we need more keen punishments, and am annoyed by market value being some coarse indicator for economic health. It's been more morally pleasing to me to see criminal companies and "currencies" collapse in the past few

I didn't suggest that. Just illustrating how the incredibly moronic logic of "weeding out people who don't meet my standards of fitness is a civic duty" can be easily extended to non-financial areas of life.

Cancer is an exploitation of the politics present in human cellular biology. The DNA of what makes us human mammals is molecular capitalism in this analogy. You can dismantle that, but then we would be floating amoebas in the primordial ooz

Incorrect. Capitalism allows economies to accelerate the birth of new companies that benefit people. When it's policed and regulated poorly, yes, scammers can proliferate. So don't vote for politicians who lie without apology, and

Given that AI is able to hallucinate, how can we be convinced the results are accurate? Did they create a new scroll, burn it, and compare the results to what was actually written?
