Honestly, to me even watching people do that whole "we share everything, we have no secrets, we completely gave up our own personality" routine is incredibly creepy. I wouldn't want a partner who expects the relationship to replace literally everything in their life, that sounds exhausting. Not to mention that I am definitely not going to share everything someone else tells me in confidence with any partner, those are not my secrets to share.

But now with additional artificial misinformation and artificial nazi bots thrown in...oh wait, that is just X already.

Weren't there some wargames a few decades ago where some group playing the "terrorists" sank a US carrier with nothing but a few speedboats and some RPGs or something similar? I am thinking of the one where they "rolled back" the wargame. It has been quite a while since I read that so I don't remember all the details.

It is the kind of asset that makes you appreciate what you had before you decided to replace it with a Tesla.

And then "accidentally" lose the opt-out setting every other update or so.

Open source is much less useful with AI though since you can neither inspect how it works exactly nor modify that one thing that bothers you about the current behavior.

The problem is that the picture does not represent what they want. They want aspects a, b and c from the picture while someone else looking at it might see aspects x, y and z. Pictures are an incredibly imprecise form of communication.

More like a dictator groupie

It is worse. People can't even fix AI so it gets better at a task.

Gold is actually useful so it will never lose all value.

He looks like the kind of person trying to play 5D-chess without even knowing any of the rules of regular chess.

Let that sink in though, 90% of your people own 7% of the stocks.

You forgot to take into account the large percentage that doesn't own any stock.

Do you have any idea how much money the wealthy actually have? The sum of all crypto-currencies put together is a drop in the bucket compared to that. Not to mention that the money is basically useless in that form without someone willing and able to buy it for some sort of actually usable currency.

It does if you are used to sane languages instead of the implicit conversion nonsense C and the "dynamic" languages are doing

Even at 2 million that wouldn't really be enough money to be above all the shitty laws the US inflicts on its own citizens.

No, the problem is that even if people who consider themselves really important want this really, really hard that doesn't change the reality that the technology doesn't do what they want it to do.

Well, the problem is that in a situation like the one we are in right now having software processes all locked into American companies is actually a huge strategic problem in certain areas so it makes sense to limit those (e.g. government, military,...) to software where that control can't be taken away by a foreign power. So essentially those should be under our control for much the same reasons energy and food production should be.

Basically dropping a hint that American goods are just not very competitive.

I assume you meant to write "if you don't have an account"

Personally I would prefer if they preferred European companies in some cases, especially when it came to strategic matters and the danger of supply chain attacks or vendor lock-in. Or, even better, things that aren't tied to any single company like open source projects.
