No, hacked by Jimmy Smith, age 14, of Colorado, who is interested in shoot-em-up war games with realism. His dad's machine was connected through Comcast to his bot at the local library. /sarcasm

In reality, I hope this is just a pilot. And there are overrides. And it doesn't come with an included shock collar.

Then these sharks won't be able to make the campaign contributions necessary to get complying elected officials re-elected.

Can't have that.

Spank people who can't pay their bills for whatever reason? Childcare, healthcare costs, inflexible employment traps, maybe we change more for those. Usurious alimony? Car financing deals from the seventh level of hell? Hey-- don't touch that stuff!

Alter bankruptcy laws to make them easier? NO WAY!

What we need are more student loans at the drop of a hat, for any degree, no matter how unsalable, how inane, how self-indulgent. /eye-roll

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

If you're used to finding inaccuracy and accepting that, then you'll do fine, and have no regrets. For the other eight billion of us, we find this both immoral, and still another example of the immunity from liability by the bad advice from AI, itself an oxymoron.

This is the same logic leap that makes people believe that driverless cars are ready to put on the highways.

These are big lies, foisted by trillions of dollars in bad investments, trying to bring halo to trusting people who believe the big lies. Small successes fool people into unearned trust. Marketing is powerful because people are believers. Sadly, only skeptics are rewarded these days.

There is hope. Learn the real basics of software engineering; you'll make do. AI can help you, but the hype goes away in a year or two. You'll need non-vibe, real coding background by then, and people will need you... then.

The ideas foisted in the post are plainly bad ideas, but each of the sponsors is now roped in to making the KoolAid look palatable. Sam Altman, leader of this Jonestown, will retire some place offshore.

Yes, why not react to any jab of their business model, which is to feed drones to the machine?

No doubt they're as mad as wet hens. Journalism does that. Facts and truth to power is the dynamic. The NYT is not immune from influence, but the article citation has factual basis.

Countering capitalism is dangerous stuff.
