I don’t recall this being new, when I was growing up in the 80’s astronomers were citing the unstable nature of red dwarfs as a major filter in the Fermi paradox.

Only if you have trouble acting lesbian.

While I agree the industry is under-regulated, spaceflight has been a massive benefit for humanity. Earth would not be able to grow half the food it does now. Global communication and logistics would be significantly more unreliable and expensive. Even down to simple things like cellphones would not work without GPS.

Spaceflight is not the problem. Unregulated bilionaires and corporations are.

Back when screens were smaller and lower resolution they were a lot easier to use.

But look at what needed to happen to trackpads for them to stay relevant. Physics only allows you to do so much with a pressure sensor.

My baseline argument these days is that god does not exist, or if he does exist, he is an evil asshole that gives children bone cancer.

If they could read, they would be very upset.

Disappointed they did not dance on the braces to achor them in the ground. Now after firing its all shifted.

Thats what we see when we see you smokers. Sucking on the teet of substance dependance.

People who are forced to use it because web developers have abandoned non chrome based browsers in their testing and validation.

When working in a 100 degree server room on some solar batteries (AC was still being installed), sitting on the floor in your sweaty underwear and pants will give an 52V positive terminal a path to ground, though the contents of your underwear.

Unfortunately it was significantly on the pain side of the pain/pleasure scale of my nether region.

Exactly. Much like crypto, the productivity and capability gains are there, but the toxic shareholder value culture hijacked it for its own purposes.

What I have observed in busienss is that smart people do smart things with AI. Just Like a well skilled person can do great things with a spreadsheet.

Stupid and lazy people do stupid and lazy things with AI, while looking smart. Just like that guy who build crap spreadsheets, but knows how to make them look pretty.

Most of the labour destroying practices come from market capitalism and shareholder culture. AI is just the excuse.

The IP theft is part of the business model in my mind, but I take your point. Its similar to the early days of the internet and the dot com boom and bust.

Its not AI that is the problem. Its the current investment and business model around the AI tech industry that is the problem.

And it manifests in way more places than just AI.

And its getting better more modern implementations. Not code from the mid 2000s that has been run though dozens of code translations and compatibility layers.

You don’t, you bite the bad guy in the ass.

Reality

They deserve blame for allowing them to come to power through their incompetence, but not for what the Nazi did.

Complaining about Biden is like blaming the Weimar Republic government for what the Nazis did. Sure they were crap, but they are not to blame.

Their Oligarchic backers on the other hand.

This is why you should play with fire as a kid (with proper supervision and environment of course)

It makes you less likely to panic or freeze up when you encounter a real fire.

It’s called incumbency.

I remember a time when IBM had 95% market share of the PC market.

Then Apple and Microsoft innovated them out of the market, in software.

Blackberry had 80%+ market share of the smartphone segment they popularized. In 4 years it was almost entirely gone.

It happens when the engineers are sidelined and the finance and marketing people take over.

They are blind to any trends that they do not control. They are unable to innovate and unwilling to take risks. It kills gigantic companies slowly at first and then very quickly.
