Soon, everything that can be labelled, will be labelled and they will be out of a job. No, there will never be a maintenance crew. Online dictionaries have the same misspelt words they had 20 years ago: Nothing has been repaired or replaced.

George Orwell was accidentally insightful: AI writes the books and the songs, while humans mow the grass and wash the dishes. Semi-skilled jobs are disappearing, creating another excuse for de-funding public education (in the USA).

Last year, the trolls/MAGA faithful would join BlueSky, spew their bile, then get blocked by everyone. Now, every four weeks, there's a report in US news claiming, BlueSky, is doomed, Doomed! While enrollment numbers slowly climb higher: It seems BlueSky has become too big to ignore. If one wants a message to reach people, BlueSky is a must-include method of delivery.

Now, right-wing fanatics are joining in large numbers and dominating the conversation on some posts. It's not quite 'Trump is the new messiah', more 'everything bad is caused by Democratic Party/leftists/progressives': Even more dishonest, given that main-stream media flip-flops between declaring GOP is the best government ever, and admitting that Trump's leadership is a dumpster fire.

This is why federal government should be limited to the cost of social security trustee, DoJ, military, research, disaster relief, national infrastructure and agricultural subsidies. Anything more, is states giving money to the corporations and the federal government compensating employees for the lost wages.

This the fifth, fourth instance of Microsoft deciding which browser their users can operate. The silence from the FTC is deafening. Since cloud services are designed for the Chrome browser, it will be interesting to see if corporations and schools change to Brave/Vivaldi (and learn the ubiquitous existence of tracking cookies). Or, they replace the Microsoft shit-show of customer-abuse and privacy invasion with Linux.

Except the billionaires who made a point of ignoring real costs and bribed other rich people to also ignore them too, it seems.

But enriching politicians and PR firms so that external costs of oil pollution are ignored for 40 more years, is acceptable, it seems.

1. Exactly, what valuable policies won't happen because of lawsuits and price-hikes?
2. "short circuit consensus building and policy process" by bribing politicians and buying propaganda, is acceptable, it seems.

You claim to know better: Please tell us, how to stop this world-wide pissing-contest for burning more oil and coal. Please tell us how to punish billionaires who abandoned their self-proclaimed role as leaders, who used their positions as leader to endanger the health and lives of their customers.

IANAL but it's easy to see the consequences of the GOP pro-AI bill. It's wonderful only the US federal government can demand drones contain a password, firewall, anti-virus and kill-switch. Only the federal government can make it illegal for AI to dox police officers, undress school-girls, or short-sell all the blue-chip stocks. Sure, the states might be able to throw someone in prison for training the AI to commit a crime, or for running the software. But the results of the software is untouchable, thanks to federal law on AI.

The government didn't put ethanol in fuel to 'save' the environment.

The reasons for making bio-fuel were; to prevent produce being dumped and to stabilize demand for corn, to make fuel cheaper and reduce oil imports. It was never about being 'green'. The lower car pollution wasn't really a selling point since making ethanol required far more energy than 'making' oil.

Why does the USA fixate on stopping real mothers 'stealing' welfare but not on fake students stealing welfare? Why is government money disbursed to people without a confirmed identity?

Why is the USA so disinterested in stopping identity theft: There's little point having proof-of-identity (KYC) laws when criminals steal names from the very database designed to stop them? There's a real answer to this question: Because those databases empower the government and corporations to do as they please. The big, beautiful database that Palantir is building, will increase their power over the people of the USA.

I think each app creates a separate passkey, so they identify the device and the account. That's a problem when the device disappears: There's no way to recover the account, or connect the account to a new device. It is why CXP and CXF were created to transfer passkeys. This turns passkeys into passwords that the user never sees. This might remove one problem: Users stupidly giving their password to a unknown person. Although, since there is (now) a method for copying the passkey, scammers may be able to incite extreme stupidity to receive a copy of the passkey. That's why Apple is enforcing a trusted keychain / escrow mechanism for copying passkeys: So a copy can't be given to strangers.

The flight yoke ...

Contrary to the movies, large planes have used electric controls for the last 70 years. The joystick does not need to be man-handled when the plane is damaged.

We've already been here. The Kayla (ethnic heritage friend of Barbie) talking doll (a high-tech version of "American Girl"), was deemed spyware and parents were ordered to destroy it. Then, there's the "furby" doll in "The Simpsons": Showing everything that is wrong with capitalism.

The cost of keeping the conversation, child-friendly, will be exorbitant: Parents will quickly tire of paying the monthly subscription for the Zuckerberg sex-bot for pre-pubescent girls. Also, as an Internet of Things device, its security will be under-powered and never updated. Thus, it will succumb to attacks from malicious actors.

For me, Outlook was the first to go: It was slow and unstable, with a rigid UI. I'm surprised it's still popular.

One doesn't have to use OpenOffice much to find incompatibilities: I wouldn't say 'power user', just a different UI that makes some steps more difficult.

I prefer the competing products (IE. MS Office clones) that are much more compatible. Doubly so, now that Microsoft Office uses HTML or JPEG, not text or RTF: MS Office has become the enemy, since once-simple editing can no longer be performed on large selections.

They allow Alex James and Tucker Carlson on, so they are definitely not politically neutral, nor removing misinformation and propaganda. This was about keeping their paying customers (advertisers) happy by avoiding 'impolite' topics. Now, they want enforcing political correctness to cost less.

I've definitely seen a cultural shift, social interaction has changed from ego-stroking pissing contests, to 'world owes me' rants over personal grievances. As a social media (online publishing) platform, Youtube has the power to control the information the rest of the world views. Like or not, they have to choose a side.

Many tech-bros are choosing to reduce censorship as a political convenience. Since Youtube already caters to political fundamentalists, there's no benefit to less censorship (unless direct threats have been made that Youtube must protect more propaganda). There may be more truth as people can now say "Nazi" directly instead of using code words.
