Comment The predator that eats all it's prey (Score 1) 45

When an invasive predator enters an environment and wipes out all the prey, then the predator too starves.

Without news sites to scrape, there will be no feeding the AI. With one key exception. When a site is driven by political agenda instead of advertisement revenue. And imagine the sort of scenario where one AI spews generated fake news, and another AI ends up mainly consuming it.

It's all Boomer shit, nobody cares!

Release Gitmo and ICE detection files.

And political leaders need to actually talk about the ongoing and recent open conflicts and shadow wars that the US has been involved in. NEITHER side wants to talk about any of the nasty shit we've been up to in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Operation Juniper Shield (Cameroon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria), Somalia, Afghanistan (heavy CIA presence), Insurgency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Northwest Pakistan), Iran–PJAK conflict, Insurgency in Paraguay, and of course the Fatah–Hamas conflict in Gaza.

Comment Re:You have to forgive tech CEOs (Score 1) 44

It's a lack of class conscious working a bit in reverse. The rich sometimes like to pretend they are just like everyone else, and frequently they believe that little fantasy. MBAs believe that because work 50+ hours a week, they are just like a hard working blue collar worker. Except that they don't lose their house if they leave their job. And they aren't likely to be part of a layoff. And they don't have to take out a second mortgage to get their kid braces or to pay for home nursing for their disabled mother.

Shit seems really rough until you look at how other people actually live. And that level of extrospection simply isn't possible for an MBA, it's like it's been surgically removed from their brain.

Comment Re:East Germany (Score 1) 163

I have the God given right to endanger everyone around me with my careless antics. It says right there in the Constitution that I have a right to drive and a right to use my cellphone whenever I want. No way California should be allowed to continue with this ILLEGAL law.

California wishes it could be East Germany. Free childcare with free breakfast and lunch for the children. Plus the Socialist Union Party would gave every child a small Christmas gift through most of the 1980's. In America we give children their deportation papers even if they are a US Citizen. Land of the Free!

The AI is trained on too much historical data to avoid this route.
The minute a human management looks away, the AI is going to be calling us juden and traitors and making us wear stars or whatever to identify us even though it already has facial recognition, and regardless if we're even ethnically Jewish.

Comment Re: no way (Score 1) 37

Classism is a nasty social construct that has worked its way into almost everything. Differences in social standing and political power almost guarantees it comes about. In America, it is mainly determined by wealth, occupation, and race. But there are other factors too. The most important thing to remember about classism when visiting America: almost everyone is in denial that it exists, and nobody wants to be shown the truth (because that's too "woke", so go back to sleep America)
