Interesting article! You should cross-post to some retro gaming communities, I’m sure they’d love it. I still never okayed this game as it came out when there was too much heat in Sims in the 90s, but probably would have enjoyed it more than some of the sim games I did play.
Which brings the model back to AI. All businesses have accomplished was basically add an extra step in actually forcing themselves to pay for what they actually need every so often. Instead of Sr>jr>offshore>sr. they now just added in AI to the loop.
Not that charlatans care, as long as they get theirs in the interim.
“the arm patch, disposal of and disdain for law, security and privacy, alignment with fascists…all of that seems pretty innocuous and normal but when we bored into FDAs data, wow, that really opened my eyes”
Nuremberg 2.0 testimony
I’m not in software development so don’t have an opinion on the practice, just passing on what I read that seemed relevant.
In a few years people won’t care if their milk is AI, I heard it from an expert whose salary depends on him taking this position

From what I saw in a waterfox thread, it’s not enabled, has no lists added or setup and is clearly early-stage.

There is a reason their stock was like 600x price:earnings, now it’s “only” 242x. Tech stocks are aggressive at 30-80x.
When the fix is in, the fix is in.
What is the reverse of eating the onion? I thought it was satire the entire article and kept waiting for the piece that made it clear it was a joke to allow for the laugh, I’m at the uncomfortable stage of thinking this is legitimate.
enforcement of existing consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws would do wonders(or tax, wage and hour, vehicle and many others). We actually have some pretty decent laws, they have either been deliberately underfunded, avoided per lobby or overruled by appointed activist judges.
Pretty much the only way out is fire and force it seems, as history shows.
Just imagining Clippy in front of a cracked mirror, “jessss a little more rouge and you can’t have too much mascara…”
I can’t think of anyone I would rather give unalterable biometric information to than a group of egomaniacal sadists who have shown utter disregard for the privacy of everyone as well as the legal code.
Omniscient, omnipotent Business Leaders: “what? There is a catch?!?”
The natural extension of a non-open internet ala Reddit and charging developers for API pulls.
Who are owned by private equity for sovereign wealth funds pushing for nothing but returns. Hence they don’t care if they sign on the line with Goebbels or enshittify their product into uselessness.
There are like 100 for the whole country. No one gets audited, statistically speaking. It’s why you’ve never learned anything about taxes from your parents or friends. They don’t know either. People pay people at HR block who don’t know about taxes either to file. No one gets in trouble because the only people who know tax laws work for the very wealthy. Or at the IRS where there are about 100 of them to 300m of us.
That is clearly two rapscallion puppies dressed in an adult dog costume.
All good if you liked it.
I didn’t like the look of the characters much in cgi(though of course Snowy has to be to make it work on most levels), found some of the action scenes unenjoyably overwrought like the early action chase scene downhill that just refuses to end like a Bond opener but without at least the reality of the stunts or explosions, I also hated the airplane scene with Haddock and overall his treatment being minimized to comic relief.
There it is. Had been wondering who the creator of this solution to a problem with many better solutions was and why this was the answer and outcome, it’s so much more base and low than I suspected.
