At least that guy was good at something.

I have no documents on any such people.

Even if we accept that, it does little to make him look better. It’s claiming that he can force people to do what he wants, rather than negotiating with them to mutual benefit.

ALSO, Trump can’t seem to handle Iran. What makes him think we can handle Canada?

Keep all cheese out of the facility.

Why the fuck do I want a smart monitor? I have a computer, and a video card.

Or is the user conned into installing the LG app under the guise of improved monitor functionality or some such bullshit?

According to the article, the add software is installed with the drivers through Microsoft Update.

If you can afford a private aircraft, you can afford to pay some fucking taxes.

Honestly, at that point, I think you let him have it.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.

Blind squirrel…

Huh. I guess even Trump can’t be wrong all the time.

No-one well ask, because we know the answer. It was cheaper to let them do it.

Our governing system is increasingly illegitimate.

I would assume they were placed on a bedside table pointed in the general direction of the fucking.

But still.

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

Possibly not.

But “We know what he meant” when someone demonstrates that they don’t know what they are talking about has proven to be dangerous.

I wouldn’t hire a mechanic who thought cats traveled at miles per MPH. Why should I listen to someone talk about boats who thinks “knots per hour” is a speed?

Knots is a measure of distance, and the fact that people have been using that wrong for several centuries

We’ve only been sailing for “several centuries.” How long was it a measure of distance before people started using it wrong?
