Because we automatically compare the moon with objects on the horizon and they makes it look big in our mind, but if you objectively compare it to the entire sky it’s small.

Also probably also the most blocked person

Not too mention Über and other new services clearly worked on getting people hooked, then jacking up the price.

SAW style

So, their arms are stuck in a device that allows them to reach a keyboard. If they can get the AI to do a task correctly they’re free, if not the device cuts of the arms.

It’s why there’s often a human in the loop who has to check the result of the AI and can be blamed if things go wrong. The poor sap can’t possibly check and correct the volumes of slop produced so they’re just there to work as a scapegoat.

Some CEO’s thought they could save a bundle and were eager to replace workers. Other CEO’s saw that, had to do a bunch of layoffs and knew saying “replaced with AI” instead of layoffs keeps stock prices high. Then you have a whole bunch of CEO’s that thought the other guys must be on to something, think they’re missing out and jump into AI both feet first. The laggards are bombarded with news and propaganda by the big players to get them pulled in too. So by now you get everybody messing around with AI in some fashion. That’s the moment the tech giants put the squeeze on everybody.

My parents have trouble typing on their password. Try having them do anything more complex and they’ll give up.

Or nobody verifies their age because it’s a hassle, social networks become unprofitable and die.

I know. Japan isn’t an exception, it’s just early.

It’s Japan. Labor force is shrinking because not enough kids

Blaming it all on foreigners is tried already. It resulted in Brexit and that didn’t improve the situation

So it’s roughly the size of a bucket.

No, the capitalists know they need people. It’s a big worry for them. Companies have to grow, but you can’t grow your market if the number of consumers and workers goes down.

At the same time they know that anything to save people is expensive in short term. And they always choose short term first.

Desperate corpos do desperate things

He means they’re not kissing his ass or being intimidated by his threats. Trump can’t deal with anything besides those.

For space colonization, it’s usually said to go big or stay home. You’re not going to send a dinky probe to another star, you’re sending something the size of the death star with the population of a small country, at least.

This is so much giving them credit.

Yeah. A large pay of their strategy is to make a rational long term plan, stick to it, and let their competitors do stupid things.
