Holy shit.

We're getting up there.

It honestly doesn't take much more for the snowball effect to take hold.

Could be interesting to see how proprietary platforms respond to increased adoption. Maybe they'll start removing their ads and surveillance, or even giving their operating systems away altogether (minus the source code, of course.)

So you are against having machines do the work of blue collar workers?

We should all be out in the fields with plows instead of using a tractor and assembling everything by hand in factories?

So you don't think serial child rapists should be put to death?

Interesting.

It doesn't need to.

“from making it any more difficult for consumers to cancel than it was to sign up.”

Good metric.

Surprising no one, telecom companies were not happy, and sued the FTC.

Hey everyone, this is why your products and services are so expensive! It's so the owners can live better than you, and use your money against you if taking advantage of you is ever threatened! They don't need to charge that price, but you're willing to pay it so that's what they charge!

Everyone saying "they're a business and they need to make money" is a useful idiot.

Education is a business.

Businesses don't care about their products or customers.

I'm not moving any goalposts nor am I making any assumptions. You are upset because rather than learn from your cognitive dissonance, you attack the person who calls it out.

Also leave you naive childish and idiotic anti-whatever proselytizing for you racist uncle over thanksgiving dinner.

Hey, you're the one who's arguing to exacerbate the disparity in wealth. Not me.

Which is the problem.

ICE would not be able to legally subpoena these companies for our data, so they buy it from them as a loophole.

Using our tax dollars, of course.

And we vote them in because the people that will do shit will inevitably fuck with the money of affluent neo-liberals.

But useful idiots on lemmy keep telling me it's china doing all the surveillance through companies.

Fuck.

Great point. We need to be able to see the interconnections of this more often.

I suspect it would be possible to fix such issues without grafting in electronics.

How come, considering we need electronics for something like a pacemaker?

So let's make that world.

I swear, it's just sad watching how stupid most people are in regards to AI and working.

It's like, the entire point of getting paid for a job is because it's something we wouldn't otherwise do for free. Using machines to do the work that we wouldn't do unless we got paid for has been the direction we've been going in since the invention of the fucking wheel.

This is hypocrisy, greed, and entitlement on full display. Neo-liberal white collar workers are mad they're now experiencing the same fate blue collar workers experienced decades ago.

Good. It's sad and telling to see white-collar workers get angry about being replaced by machines.

You people didn't care when it was blue-collar workers being replaced.

Hypocrites.

It doesn't have to be as obvious as mass layoffs.

Creators will receive fewer contracts because a lot of the potboiling crap they were making can be done just as well or better by a computer.

AI has been able to take over the mediocre work by people who should be ashamed to call themselves creators in the first place.

I, for one, welcome them to get a real job like the rest of us.

Don't believe the hype.

Ever.

A major label or corporation could just take it, polish it, and release it as their own without any consequences.

How would that corporation make money off of it without copyright and patent laws?

How is disney going to make its money without copyright and patent laws?

How will their movies sell if it's legal for anyone to copy and redistribute them?

How will they make as much money off of merchandise if they have to legally compete with people who don't hold copyrights to their IP?

The only "Lol" here is how proud you people are for being useful idiots. This is why things are the way they are.
