Nothing new about peddling misinformation to voters. There's never been a moment in the history of democracy that hasn't happened, from all sides.

I don't believe you.

Especially with the legal repercussions it would (and does) bring.

Changing prices during business hours is a landmine that found a place to happen. All it takes is for a Weights & Measures inspector to see a price on the shelf, and a different price at the register, and the fines will run five or six figures, the frequency of inspections will increase an order of magnitude, and the paperwork involved in verifying it never happens again will require hiring at least one additional employee.

And as others have said, there's nothing this allows them to do they couldn't do before. It just costs less, but that's the whole point: reducing labor for price changes that happen every single night anyway in a store with a million SKUs in stock. Instead of having an overnight crew to run around changing hundreds, if not thousands, of labels, an automated scheduler flips the switch after hours.

I imagine the 16 GB model have been more affected (I buy 8 GB), but that's still better than low end Dell servers that have gone from $800-900 to about $4,000 (though the low end today is higher than it was a couple of years ago).

Given the number of updates in the last few months, I'd say they already have.

Because they're bribing the right people. Their goal is to get shut down by the government, because they are going to fail. If they fail because their fraudulent claims to investors become clear, they go to prison. If they fail because of government regulation, they don't.

They're not big enough to survive. How can they be, when there is no scenario in which they do not continue to lose money.

I no longer believe the calls for regulation are about suppressing competition. I am increasingly of the opinion that their goal is, in fact, to be shut down by law, because they can no longer fake progress, and because more and more people, especially investors (who have powerful friends) are staring to realize it.

Their companies are going to collapse, and soon. The only way they can avoid prison when it happens is if the government makes them shut down.

None of the "rogue" AIs are doing anything other than exactly what they're told to do, in exactly the way they're told to do it.

The Pi 5s I've been buying (Cana kit) have gone from $299 to $349 in the last year or two. Not nearly as much increase as most computers.

This is a thread about exactly that, dumbass.

Stories like that don't sell ads. And that is the business of the news, selling ads. They can't afford to care about anything else.

We've known all along we can't deliver on the pie in the sky promises we've made, and we've hit a wall on faking it, and people are starting to realize it was all a scam to begin with, and we don't want to end up in prison like Elizabeth Holmes because the investors we've ripped off are powerful people with powerful friends. So please make it impossible for any new startups to compete, and illegal for to demand we deliver what we've promised, because that's our only hope.

After all, everything eventually evolves into crabs.

Corporations pay about 1/6th of the total income tax revenue in the US.

Perhaps you should find a different propaganda site to spoon feed your fantasies.
