Citing the Cato Institute is one hell of thing to cite in a thread where you say AI is going to make everything better, like automation did before (it did for a few at the expense of many losing their livelihoods), or industrialization did before (it did for a few at the expense of many losing their livelihoods). The

I don’t know the guy so it’s impossible to say

Freeing humans from the drudgery of repetitive tasks has been the goal of every technological enhancement in human history.

Hilarious! “Freeing humans from drudgery” oh how noble.  “Removing the cost of labour from the money-making machine, no matter how deleterious for the society the factory-owners don’t live in”, there ya go, FTFY.

Shit like this is what inspires people to build guillotines.

Look, I get wanting to build a fallout shelter. The very existence of nuclear weapons suggests at some point someone will use them. And things aren’t exactly copacetic between the two world’s largest nuclear superpowers either. And if you’re rich enough, why wouldn’t you build a bomb shelter than is nice enough to

I see USA is still a completely normal country.

Social media has given every narcissistic moron with access to a computer or a phone a megaphone, and we’re all dumber and worse off for it.

They should give him the money, then WB can sue him and take it for the shitty Jerod Leto knock off.  It’s a whole snake eating it’s tail thing.

How should you explain something that is confusing for yourself?!
I started Destiny 2 also several times...and I always felt like “WTF is going? Who the f....are these people? And what is even my role in this story?”
And currencies...hell everytime I started it, it felt like I was grinding all over again. So yeah, I get

That money went to the investors/owners of Bungie, and is gone. These are the people who bought it out from Microsoft. When Sony bought the company, in addition to taking ownership of the physical stuff, they paid the money to the investors that ponied up in the first place. Essentially, all of that money disappeared.

I think Starfield is Subjective, but too many people claim its Boring, or it Sucks stating their opinion as fact.”

Ozzy truly is a genetic anomaly. He should’ve been dead decades ago.

The entire subculture of streaming is hot garbage.

I work for a tech company in the Bay Area but I guess I must still be a “broke boy” because I think $28 for 16 ounces of cookies is absolutely bullshit and a total scam.

I can’t help but feel this is the dumbest story I’ve read about all week.
