    Yeah, unfortunately I think that both corporations and consumers have shown that they prefer the cheap option rather than whatever not-as-cheap options might offer in terms of quality, sustainability, environmental protection, lack of child slavery… you know, luxuries like that.

    And that is speaking in general, mass-market terms of course. There are often options for those who care about the things I jokingly referred to as luxuries. But when something like that is niche instead of a widespread basic expectation, it gets priced as a luxury. Ugh.

      I don’t think this a preference question. More like something intrinsic to a society based on market.

        it’s the preference of “oh hey if i buy the cheap thing i can afford to feed my child a whole 5 days per week!”

  Being right just half a time is much better than most people can do.

    Yeah, but I can chastise people. I get nothing out of chastising AI.

      But people can sue you for that, AI can’t.

  The real question is, what is its actual purpose? A parlor trick by the imperialist. I am not scared of AI…I fart on AI. I want less now a daze. Hype up dez nutz. I can’t wait to see this anti worker abusive tactic bubble to fucking POP. But some believe in angels and blind their eyes with the rays of the sun.

    There was this article a few days ago; it’s basically just big venture capital investing in a bubble and said bubble desperately tries to create results, thus shoving it everywhere.
