So am I supposed to buy crypto then? Trumpcoins? ElonNickels?

There is money in that banana stand for certain.

Realistically? Probably influenza or a pox after vaccines are outlawed or priced out of reach for enough of the species.

Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for “safety” in certain cities labeled “dangerous” which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it’s “underground” to have an honest conversation about politics. We’ll be in Putin’s Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.

You and your son are the problem, everyone knows the free market will fix all inefficiencies, such as almost every global center lacking affordable housing because developers only want to build high margin homes. The free market just works or something.

The problem could be easily solved by you and your son just becoming wealthy, either that or decades of planning and government initiatives to mandate minimum supply and affordability if not outright building by governments–but how much work would that be !?! Probably easiest just to pretend it’s complex market forces and not greed.

For my child to participate in elementary school, and not be left out of comouter-based learning, I have to approve of her using a chromebook which is doing exactly what I’m sure we can all imagine with future marketable data sources: building profiles.

“…and when they were 7 they liked…” “Try the color red, they used to prefer than, might be a good nostalgic pitch…”

“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.

That sniper rifle was so dope, but the accuracy of CPU players with an AK like across the map and then /gaspingsoundwhenhit was so frustrating lol

Goldeneye Surface level PTSD. Enemies beyond your sight horizon due to fog/snow, no map overlay for relative positioning, memorization was the only way to not get lost.

You just need to buy the North America Animal Recognition AI subscription and this wouldn’t be an issue plebs, it will stop for 28 out of 139 mammals!

“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”

Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing new methods of enshittification to harvest user data

Literally the line, from the guy, in the movie. It spawned a sequel you may have heard of that then played it up as it was such a perfectly ominous line.

The original is where he delivers the line and then crashes through the police station fam.

Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

At this point it’s like the Onion article that they release after every school shooting about how nothing can be done to prevent it in the only country where it occurs regularly; the data raping and pillaging that goes on in the US despite other countries having passed basic common sense privacy and control laws…well too bad you can’t afford the lobbyists to pass it, Poor.

Customer support tier .5

It can be hella great for finding what you need on a big website that is poorly organized, laid out, or just enormous in content. I could see it being incredible for things like irs.gov, your healthcare providers website, etc. in getting the requested content in user hands without them having to familiarize themselves with constantly changing layouts, pages, branding, etc.

To go back to the IRS example, there are websites in the last 5 years that started to have better content library search functionality, but I guess for me having AI able to contextualize the request and then get you what you want specifically would be incredible. “Tax rule for x kind of business in y situation for 2024”—that shit takes hours if you’re pretty competent sometimes, and current websites might just say “here is the 2024 tax code PLOP” or “here is an answer that doesn’t apply to your situation” etc. “tomato growing tips for zone 3a during drought” on a gardening site, etc.

I’m in HR so benefits are a big one…the absolute mountain of content, even if you understand it, even experts can’t have perfect recall and quick, easy answers through a mountain of text seems like an area AI could deliver real value.

That said, companies using AI as an excuse to them eliminate support jobs because customers “have AI” are greedy dipshits as AI and LLMs are a risk at best and outside of a narrow library and intense testing are going to always be more work for the company as you not only have to fix the wrong answer situations but also get the right answer the old fashioned way. You still need humans and hopefully AI can make their work more interesting, nuanced and fulfilling.

There’s one born every minute, this is a great way to have them self-select for financial benefit.
