The world’s wealthiest and powerful have been driving to automate all forms of ‘labor’ involved in or connected to maintaining the lifestyle to which they are accustomed since the Industrial Revolution. That has always been their, and ultimately AI’s, intended goal — to ‘eliminate’ any last vestiges of their…

The employees already are profitable. That’s the whole fucking point YOU’RE NOT GETTING. The business isn’t losing money. They’re not failing. The business is profitable. The business is successful. The company just wants MORE profits. They are choosing to chase the lie of infinite growth. They are CHOOSING to prioriti…

Technically, sure. Realistically, no. They just buy out and take over the regulatory authority, stopping any effective regulations (See: FCC, FTC, FEC, and so forth). It’s cheap, it’s effective, and the ‘investment’ last decades or longer. In fact, the more they ‘do’ it, the cheaper and more effective it gets. And…

Also no. These companies are still wildly profitable and successful. Chopping off employees has nothing to do with ‘losses.’ It’s prioritizing profits over people. You’re just mindlessly regurgitating the PR bullshit they use to justify their actions to fools like you.

If Starship can do everything its designers hope, that will be a non-issue (and all signs point to a complete success). The Moon will likely have its own satellite ‘constellation’ in no time, complete with laser-based interconnects, like the in-development Starlink satellites that will be deployed by Starship. And…

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

You name a single example that only ends up proving my point: companies and corporations that prioritize profits over people *ARE* evil, just as much as the people in charge of them who *CHOOSE* profits over people.

Corporations and most companies, which includes Google, prioritize profits over people. Prioritizing profits over people is evil, no matter what excuses capitalists and their apologist sycophants spew.

Time to pull a Dominion and start suing these companies deliberately and maliciously slandering them and their products with this kind of blatant bullshit.

Conservatives: “OMG! HOW DARE YOU TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW SHITTY WE ARE TO PEOPLE WE DON’T KNOW BUT HATE BECAUSE REASONS!!”

And, of course ‘checking the AI’s work’ is also outsourcing that whole ‘training dataset’ thing they need to make the AI be more accurate, too. Not that Microsoft is going to just come right out and admit they’re using office users that way, but let’s be honest, of course they will.

You can’t even claim that it was ripped from the game (though, yes, having the asset disappear from EGS), because nobody knows where *FROMSOFTWARE* got the animation, but it’s highly unlikely that it was created in-house. Many developers *license* their assets from third parties, not just tools and extensions. In this…

I submit the following experiment:

One thing is certain — the gaggle of greedy, incompetent nincompoops running things have a never-ending supply of excuses and scapegoats for their equally endless stream of fuckups.

More to the point, it wasn’t about her performance. By that I mean, award shows also tend not to look favorably on ‘superhero’ movies for anything regarding actor performances. Scripts, VFX, sound, and such? Sure. They win awards for those, but acting? Almost never. You’d be hard-pressed to find any superhero film…

If you think deleting these videos is going to stop AI tools from ‘stealing’ his voice (or his likeness, etc), I can assure you that it will not. The only thing that will be accomplished is removing what little revenue his work is still generating after his death.

But of course, the people who robbed the bank and ran while no one was watching will, once again, get away with their golden parachutes, because consequences only apply to peons and peasants. SVB’s execs and major ‘investors’ had the balls to essentially *BRAG* publicly about how they took the money and ran, leaving…

There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire (and even millionaires, at this level of inflation, is suspect). The only way to build wealth is through unbridled exploitation, almost exclusively of the people who have no power to stop being exploited (ie, the poor). The only way to exploit others is by one form of…

For the people who were around to get ‘em, just fine? For everyone else who forgot to jump ship afterward? Not so much. But that’s their problem. They forgot the only rule of ‘bubble economics’ — jump with your golden parachute *BEFORE* it pops.

Utopian and ‘company town’ are mutually exclusive. But what else do you expect from a guy who bought a $44b ‘toy’ to diddle his ego and promptly ran it into the ground?
