it will cause unprecedented growth AND widespread unemployment of course. A distopian horror, not by the AI itself, but by its owners.

we'd probably all have to agree what consciousness is, first. good luck with that


"not necessarly" and "more likely" are not at all at odds with each other.


Gabriel Jesus is not a goal keeper.


The glaring truth is no Large company ever says WOW with AI we can do so much more with the same staff. It's always We can do the same, with much less staff.


you could have stopped with AI makes them rich. Why cares about anyone else.


But it's not that simple. The point I'm making is that their reaction to making money also feels very inhuman.

Suppose your comapny just won a key contract, putting your competitors out of business. Would you go to stand on a stage in front of the other business, gleefully talking about how your victory will upset the industry? How it's a sign of the changing times, but a blessing in disguise because those employees get a chance to move to another career, or practice valuable budgeting and social skills in the line to the food bank?


Yeah, they're fucking sociopaths. We have enough history at this point. The results are in. The verdict is clear.


What are all the tables and plots for rooftop solar presented in the article then? I am confused.


Amazing how politicized panel use is obvious by these maps, as opposed to effectiveness.


The top 10% of American families own close to 70% of america's wealth. So if "America" is rich. Those are the folks who are rich. 90% of Americans are not rich.


America's wealth is not a pie that gets divvied up. For example, Musk created the wealth he has. It wasn't distributed to him from others.

> 90% of Americans are not rich.

Compared to 250 years ago, about 99% of Americans are rich.


> For example, Musk created the wealth he has. It wasn't distributed to him from others.

The jokes write themselves


Show us one! I'm ready for a laugh.


Wow, with his own two hands?? Incredible! How did he do it???


It is an amazing story. There are several biographies of Musk which go into a lot of detail how he did it.

None of his wealth was transferred to him.


> None of his wealth was transferred to him.

Mr Musk's move to the USA was funded by his father, and his first company was started with a loan from his father. The advantages of the family running an undocumented emerald mine in Zambia.

Not 'inherited wealth' I concede, but still not something available to Average Joe.


This collection of people, well actually, more like the 1% set the tax rules. Compare the tax rules from 1970s, to today, and you will definitely see that wealth is a zero sum game.


> you will definitely see that wealth is a zero sum game.

I'm not seeing it. Maybe you could flesh it out a bit?


You can go fuck yourself with your bullshit here.


I suspect if he changed the name to not include the college name, while people would be angry, there wouldn't be a real reason to take it down. The sending emails to the college system is also iffy.


Lack of moderation was the real issue with the site.


I mean ppl could contact me if they wanted anything removed… several people did too


But people did contact you. Many people. And you told them all you wouldn't take anything down.


The most constructive feedback I can come up with you is to think of other people's feelings before doing anything, and don't do anything at scale until you've proved that you can do this. Failing that, learn how to fight. You are too skinny to be this selfish.


It's too late. Content was already distributed the moment it was posted.

Not only it's too late, but when that guy asks, the reply was "bitch come suck my dick".


So people had to know your site before they can get anything removed.

That’s not the right way to do it, just like Facebook‘s shadow profiles.

You want to use my data, you ask first.


That's literally how most platforms work.


No, most platforms require that the user creates an account don’t scrap data do create them without consent.

What you mean are spammers who scrap web pages for email addresses to sent unwanted mails.


No. Im not going to ask. That data was public bro, and data, man it was just your name. Come on. I hate this “my data” bs


Publishing personal data scrapped from internal (private) sources is also a pretty major reason to take it down
