I don't think people realize that the bacteria that cause Anthrax exists in small quantities anywhere there is soil. All of us were probably exposed to at least some Bacillus anthracis bacteria today. It's the dose that makes the poison.

Have you heard of a federal reserve? Yes your bank doesn't have your money, but someone does. Your money someone else has is insured by the federal reserve so bank runs don't happen. You're talking about an economy that existed 100 years ago.

I agree with your take on all of them except Anycubic, if you can get them for cheap. By that I don't mean the forever sale on their website. I started with a used anycubic that I got for less than $100.00 USD. While it does suck it let me see if I actually wanted to spend more money on this hobby or not. I'm already looking into getting a Prusa someday but for now it's enough. So there is a spot for Anycubic, it's entry level for printing curious.

No you don't understand he's not a victim of the weaponization of the government. He's a terrorist and an enemy of the government. It's justified because he's not on my side. /s

Sure blame the victim. Anyone who uses their services is just asking for it right?

A lot of disorders and syndromes are really just normal things that everyone deals with. They just a lot more than the average person. It's like the nepo beach baby who claims they're depressed because they don't feel happy sometimes. That's not depression, that's boredom, you're bored.

Same thing with autism. Someone can be a fan of trains but realizes that a random person doesn't want to have a conversation about them. It's the scale and scope of the behavior/disorder that defines it. Not merely having that characteristic at all.

Yeah it was, you're correct. I was just jumping to the end of the argument cause I've seen it a thousand times and it's just Tankie's trying to be acceleratationists.

Yes.

The problem isn't that AI is dogshit. In fact there are many things that have been revolutionized because of AI. Our understanding of biology has catapulted forward decades because of new models.

The problem is marketing. Those few use cases, while truely amazing, are only useful for a few things. The marketing of AI is horrible, throwing it into every product whether it makes sense or not. Throwing more money at it when it doesn't make sense in the vain hopes that will eventually make it profitable. Then manipulating the market so that alternatives to your bad product aren't feasible.

These silicon valley narcissists need AI to be profitable more than AI can become profitable.

Don't worry, there's still so much money to be made from being a partner with the US that once Trump has run his course politicians from all across the globe will talk about how we can't focus on the past. No one will be held accountable.

There is no such thing as a good billionaire. No one can obtain over $1,000,000,000.00 of personal wealth without exploiting people with less power. However just like Taylor Swift and Gabe N. Rihanna has come by her wealth more honestly than Peter Theil, or Elon Musk.
