The tobacco industry is a good historical example of all the shit world dominating companies do. The most sneaky thing I can remember is that they finance perfectly good research on a lot of causes of cancer, except for tobacco, so researchers were too busy and happy to get some money to work on something, to investigate tobacco. They also have been buying companies that used to finance legitimate research so researchers that depended on them are now forced into a conflict of interest. https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q1153

Personal anecdote, a young female data scientists left my current department to join Philip Morris, it blows my mind that young educated people would join this industry willingly, I guess it was for the money.

Latex hell? Good luck

Sure, not just world wide like the USA currently.

For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.

I was making a joke because it seems AI intervened against the person in independent times, but thank you for your efforts.

You could share sources about this? I don’t know about your biases.

If you say pamplemousse instead, the sneeze will sound fancier.

For a stronger version, don’t buy it this time, just take a picture. If you really want it, then you should be motivated to come again to get it.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ars-technica/ gives a factual reporting score and political bias estimation.

I hope it’s the first proof of general AI consciousness.

Isn’t it already the case to steal from companies? I don’t know if things like Shai Hulud 2.0 qualifies as malware. Companies are much more lucrative targets so I am not sure personal Linux is changing much.

As said in the article, in Western Europe you can already use Wero to bypass those and it is spreading in Europe. In France, for the past 40 years, the “CB” network has been available for every basic bank payment card, which is also Independent from the Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_Bank_Card_Group I think the new initiative will spread, unify and simplify things.

It’s true for software engineering because the salaries in NA are insane due to the insane profits those companies are making. But for the average job, life is better.

Only from free and open source sustenance, he is disgusted by anything else.

That’s possible, I don’t know about the heavy industries. Checked for Toyota, founder was an engineer, second family CEO was also engineer, third was MBA, current CEO is not from the family and is an engineer. In any case, I don’t think having an engineer CEO guarantees anything, aren’t the GAFAM mostly led by engineers but got enshitifified for short term profit anyways?

Are they? Rakuten is led by a business guru and the products are subpar unless they bought them. Also Japan has a huge deficit of native (software) engineers, so most of the engineers at this kind of companies are Chinese and Indian. Which companies are you thinking about?

Scarcisoft?

I wanted robots to do my chores but instead they are taking my job and my hobbies! Hopefully they become addicted to gaming and don’t to take my job anymore.

Why do you think this paper is more correct than the other? This paper seems to be locked on a single definition and says everything else is wrong because it does not follow this definition.

Personally, I find it very intellectually unsatisfying because you can have a individual with male gametes but with a female phenotype, and this definition says, this individual’s sex is without a doubt 100% male. It seems the main benefit is not questioning a historical definition, which fits well with conservative opinions. There’s clear evidence on many other subjects that this can slow down or block science (ex: tobacco, climate).

Consider some of those people are trying to do that for rational reasons and check the article as an example of such reasons.
