  • Are we sure about that because I've never really been able to get a unbiased viewpoint. You know because they're all racist over there as like the default position. Even if they're not unpleasant people they're kind of just casually racist, it does mean that whatever they say has to be taken with several hundred kg worth of salt

  • Would they though? I think if anything most industries and economies would be booming, more disposable income results in more people buying stuff. This results in more profitable businesses and thus more taxes are collected. More taxes being available to the government means better public services.

    Even the banks would benefit, loans would be more stable since the delinquency rate would be much lower if everyone had better pay.

    The only people who would lose out would be the idiot day traders who rely on uncertainty and quite a lot of luck in order to make any money. In a more stable global economy businesses would be guaranteed to make money and so there would be no cheap deals that could be made.

  • I keep being told by experts that AGI is inevitable. Yet all I ever see is people constantly go on about LLMs, so I don't know what to think. Are they lying, is it all just a bubble that's going to burst or is there actually some utility there that is being hidden by the LLM hype? If so, can't we just use the actual AI rather than these other things.

  • The problem is that we absolutely can build a sustainable society on our own. We've had the blueprints forever, the Romans worked this out centuries ago, the problem is that there's always some power seeking prick who messes it up. So we gave up trying to build a fair society and just went with feudalism and then capitalism instead.

  • I bet they're really pissed off with ubisoft right now. They basically started this whole movement by being so egregious with The Crew. Less than a month before they shut the servers down the game was still on sale for the full price that it had launched with.

    Granted it was shut down because it was the most mediocre game ever made but that still isn't an excuse.

  • I know a few people who used to work for Apple. The reason a lot don't say it though is because if you do people automatically assume you had something to do with whatever feature they don't personally like, and you get berated about it.
