Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 weeks agoI was already aware of much of what you said, although I probably hadn’t faxed down the road quite as far.
However, what I was referring to was the legislation the commenter I replied to was calling for. What I meant was that proper legislation wouldn’t happen until the “rugpull” you described actually happens, and the economy finally goes into the recession it would otherwise already be deep into at this point. Being delayed so long may make it especially ugly, I fear - or if may just bridge us into the next thing that keeps the economy propped up, such as the robotics you mentioned.
May you live in interesting times, indeed.

I’m cynical to think that proper legislation won’t happen even after the crash. There’s simply too much money available to buy bribes/motorcoaches for Supreme Court Justices (Clarence Thomas) and other cheaper politicians.

I actually feel the same, but I was trying to not be too much of a downer.
Thanks for the recommendation, but I’m already subscribed. If you read the post a few weeks ago from someone who just got a tiny phone, I made a longish comment on it with my own review of it.

Yeah, it can wear on you.
I keep my subscribed feed clear of politics because the political content that spreads on social media is evolved/selected to be compulsive/clickbaity so I don’t even want it touching my eyes.
Dull Men’s Club is a great community because everything that makes for compulsive content isn’t ‘dull’ and I suspect it’s a lot more of a bipartisan community than most places given the types of expertise that some of the user’s display.
