Of course AI chatbots are spreading misinformation; that is their entire function.
The reality isn't Terminator or Slaughterbots (yet); it's much more mundane.
For those already in power, AI further concentrates that power by drowning out the discourse among the rest of us.
It's not even necessary for the BS to be believed, only that all other conversations and analytical thought is interrupted.
Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.
Scramble suits for cars.
is about as effective as washing your car to make it rain.
the universe knows what you're up to and it won't work.
Only we can see our own stupidity.
to the rest of the world: sorry. our leaders are idiots. I wonder how much longer I will be allowed to say that ?
What? so you plug your keyboard into it?
Without a union, those savings do not go to the workers.
If fewer employee-hours are required then fewer people will be hired and they will be paid less.
It's been this way for over a hundred years.
There is no cost savings by using AI but there will be eventually.
And when that happens the owners will not shower the workers with easy jobs and fat paychecks.
This is absurd on so many levels.
To start with, it's not like the lawsuit has anything to do with what state they're based in. The California AG happens to be leading it, but it's a coalition of 12 states. It's not as if they could escape the suit by moving to another state. This is purely a pressure tactic, nothing more.
I believe they can. States can only sue companies that operate in their state. If Paramount moves to a state that isn't in that coalition, the other 12 will have a difficult time collecting.
Actually moving would be incredibly expensive. Build entirely new studios. Relocate all their employees. Lose a whole lot of employees who don't want to relocate.
And exactly who's going to employ all those who refuse to move? California unemployment isn't exactly stellar these days.
And anywhere else they moved to would be a worse place. They're located in Los Angeles because that's the heart of the film industry. That's where the workers are. That's where all the other companies that support the industry are. Trying to operate in Georgia or Tennessee would be much harder for them.
Your information is...dated. There are thriving film industries in Georgia, for example. It got so good California got scared of it. Granted, things have scaled back a bit in recent years, but that's tracking the overall decline of the film industry. LA is even worse.
Even if they somehow decided it made sense to move, that's not a decision you make quickly or lightly. It would take long and careful planning to choose a new location and prepare for the move. But here he is, saying they're going to start moving in less than two months, and he hasn't even decided what state to move to. Is anyone really supposed to take this seriously?
Please, don't take it seriously. Then, when it happens, it'll be far more shocking.
If in spite of everything he really tries to go through with this, expect a shareholder lawsuit and calls for the board to fire him. But he'd have to be crazy to really do it.
Shareholders have this odd habit of wanting their CEO to do things that increase the profitability of the company. Given how many businesses are fleeing the anti-business climate of California for Florida, Texas, and other business-friendly states -- and thriving in those new states -- they might just give him a raise.
Why do you people have so many weird fantasies about California? Obsessed much? It's fucking weird, dude.
No state has ever gone bankrupt. California's economy is the fourth largest in the world.
Take your meds. Reconnect with reality.
And yet, with all that economy, they still can't make budget
One could be forgiven for saying they can't afford to lose a single dollar of potential tax revenue.
I have no fscking use for spyglasses or AI nonsense.
But if I could purchase a pair of glasses that function as a monitor of arbitrary size...and has the same or better resolution than my current monitor? In a heartbeat. No AI, no camera, no spyglass BS. Just shine a laser (or 3) in my eye and paint a monitor on my retina.
But nobody seems to be interested in making those.
Why?
Because the user functionality is bait.
The purpose of the glasses is surveillance for the benefit of the people selling them to you.
You can certainly use them for consensual POV vids, porn or otherwise.
If that's your thing then by all means have at it.
Just don't think for a minute you're the only one seeing the video.

So you're saying the US has been Marxist from the very beginning and never stopped?
Huh. You must use a different definition of Marxist.
you sir, are blind, war is never good
What an utterly naive interpretation of world history you have. I can assure you, if you'd been a Jew being rounded up for extermination in WW2 you'd have a different opinion. Likewise, if you were Chinese or Korean being subjugated by Imperial Japan, you'd have a different perspective. There is such a thing as a "just war" even though you somehow ignore the concept. It's usually when your opponent starts the war and is hell bent on eradicating you and your way of life.
Alas, you sit there in perfect safety and comfort, passing judgement on those who sacrificed fa more than you can ever imagine so you could impugn their sacrifices.
For now, people can worry about what type of weapons to use and whether or not certain types should be banned.
But in the future, all the debates will be about will be "how do we pick just the right grid squares in which to Kill All Humans?"
Banned for who? And who's going to enforce this ban?
You have to remember any treaty (a) must have signatories that agree to follow it and (b) there must be a method of enforcement. If you lack either of these two conditions, the treaty has no effect.
While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery.
