How often do both of your families pester you about when you're having kids? 😁
We need to pass legislation that requires all AI services be powered by their own, renewable energy on-site. Then no one can complain and we'll reduce pollution at the same time.
If the AI services complain we can collectively respond with, "oh yeah? How's that AGI comin? Surely it can figure out a way to power itself."
Of course, that's when the AI companies start hiring humans to sit in energy harvesting pods all day 🤷
These shoes will claim they're victims of a crime and they're right!
On a near daily basis she sprints from one state-run pharmacy to another on a quest for pills and syringes. Increasingly, she has to turn to the black market and pay the higher prices there. That is if they have what she needs.
Same situation is common here in the US. Only difference is that you're paying more and you're traveling greater distances to privately-owned pharmacies trying to find one that has your pills.
In the past four years I've had trouble getting both mine and my family's medications many, many times. Then there's the fact that our insurance won't cover some unless I get them filled at CVS for anti-competitive reasons (CVS caremark).
I'd rather have Cuba's system. It's cheaper and has a better track record.
Capitalism doesn't work for medical care. Specifically, it's unsustainable. We're currently at the tail end where it's about to collapse.
All those people getting laid off? That's going to increase premiums next year by a ton. Expect it to be all over the news in a few months.
I know, right? Why send my BBQ data to the cloud when I can just cook with a handful of GPUs, locally? To start the grill you just ask the animated waifu to dance and sing a random, AI-generated song that matches your taste in music. Then the fans spin up and send scrumptious GPU heat into the grill, cooking up a delicious hallucination where your animated waifu sings, "That looks yummy! Yummy yummy yummy! Hai hai hai!"
Flood warning systems are socialism though!
The good news here is that if the IRS can change this kind of thing on the whims of the president then it can be changed back and maybe we can finally start taxing churches if we elect a rational president.
"Witchcraft" or, "we really didn't like them"?
They need to act Swiftly! I'm sure conservatives will put forward a modest proposal.
Lesson here for banks: You're not paying your employees enough!
~$1000 should not be anywhere near enough to bribe your employees! Anyone with access to such systems should be paid accordingly!
Oh man, the parallels with history here are strong...
Back in the day companies would use government to crack down on things like union strikes. So the unions started working with the Mafia for protection.
This didn't work out well for the companies (executives getting carried off, tortured, and executed... That sort of stuff) so the government came up with a compromise: Strong labor laws.
Now we have the government itself violating it's own laws (Bill of Rights), kidnapping harmless people, sending them to faraway prisons to become slaves. Hooking up with organized crime seems like a logical path 🤷
...as in: WTF did you think was going to happen‽
