This is the first time I have come across another person who actually gets the true meaning that AI will have in the long run. AI will exhibit to humanity its true social basis, and upend the fundamental ways we relate to each other. Intell

Suggesting that so-called "corporate capture" is a new or recent phenomenon is incredibly ahistorical. This sort of nonsense could only persist in a nation that knows absolutely nothing of its own history.

>How else should a bank determine if you are likely to repay a loan? Not this way, or not at all for all anyone else should care. Banks are paid interest for taking a risk, so let them take the risk. No other country on Earth has credit

I recently learned almost all of my coworkers are on ADHD medication and I'm hardly surprised because my workplace is extremely competitive. I have since started taking Adderall myself and I have no shame in doing so because it's
