- Don't threaten me with a good time
- Congratulations, you have invented taxes
- Because some reasoning is motivated
- Their automated product killed a living creature. Yes, it is by definition their fault.
- The grownups have left the building, and the brats have guns.
- And this is why they don't care how many people they fire. The intention was always to automate the warehouses, and as long as they do it before they exhaust the workforce, turnover doesn't matter.
- True, though Broadcom operates in a very similar manner in this regard.
- Or they can do things like buy VMWare, gut the support/engineering/sales staff, hound and threaten their install base, and ultimatley profit greatly by stripping down and destroying a perfectly healthy if relatively late stage business.
- Yes, and the solution to the fact that corporations have your information is not to give more people your information.
- Radiation is good for you now, a little bit, as a treat.
- Exactly! We don't get luxury space communism until after we defeat the nascent Terran Empire... or else we end up the Terran Empire
- Feel like we're doing pretty well on the Star Trek timeline, tbh. Got to get through the Eugenics Wars
- Where do you think training data comes from
- >At the same age
Boomers have had significantly longer and better sustained market conditions to grow their wealth.
- The extraordinary burden of proof is on the people making extraordinary claims, in this case that your thoughts come from an invisible, all powerful entity who we have never had any evidence actually exists, and wrote a book, instead of humans having written that book, as we have every other book that has ever existed. The burden of proof does not lay on those who say their thoughts come from biochemical and electrical signals in the brain, as all available evidence supports that assertion.
- No higher power ever wrote anything though. That's all human writing, human promises, human propaganda.
- - thought crime
- This is one of the reasons loss of biodiversity and mass extinction are so horrifically depressing, to me. All that marvelous complexity, all the blueprint information for it, all lost forever. Take the axolotl - it does not, seemingly, ever reach senescense, meaning they don't die of old age. Somewhere locked up in that blueprint information could be the key to new therapies or techniques to incorporate this into ourselves. But they are in danger of extinction, existing in a small patch of Mexico City's canals as they do. We lose them, we lose the chance to learn from them. How many undiscovered medicines, therapies, techniques lost forever? We don't even begin to imagine accounting for this particular externality
It's baffling to me that they get away with this.
