- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 1 week ago:
I was reading a book the other day, a science fiction book from 2002 (Kiln People), and the main character is a detective. At one point, he asks his house AI to call the law enforcement lieutenant at 2 am. His AI warns him that he will likely be sleeping and won’t enjoy being woken. The mc insists, and the AI says ok, but I will have to negotiate with his house AI about the urgency of the matter.
Imagine that. Someone calls you at 2 am, and instead of you being woken by the ringing or not answering because the phone was on mute, the AI actually does something useful and tries to determine if the matter is important enough to wake you.

Like my parent’s Amazon Echo with “Ask me what famous person was born this day.”
Like, if you know that, just put it up on the screen. But the assistant doesn’t work for you. Amazon just wants your voice to train their software.

Blame the programmers? Yeah, no. The software is owned by the company, blame them.

If a building collapses. You blame the people who built the walls and poured the concrete, or the ones who chose the materials and approved the project?
In any case, often programmers and engineers retain no rights to the software they worked on. So whoever profits from the software should also shoulder the blame.

- Comment on Pollsters Are questioning AI Instead of Real People 2 months ago:
It makes sense if you believe an LLM has actual intelligence, and works like an oracle.
It makes no sense at all if you understand how they work even superficially

And to top it off, if the tariffs went away in 3 months, would they lower the price back down?
- Comment on Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor 2 months ago:
I see what you mean. But if I have my house on my land, and enough income to provide reasonably for me and my family, what do I care about their imaginary money games?

In the immigrant situation, there is no middleman between the employer and the immigrant. The only one profiting off the prisoner situation is the middlemen.

On the first case, the actual United States territory? Or like US bases in other countries?

I can totally see that commercial, sandwiched between an ad for legal drugs, and another for lawyers. I only know one country where those are common.
