It's just one more exawatt what's the harm in that, I promise I'll quit after that. Just one more zettawatt please.

Doesn't even need to generate actual wealth, as speculation about future wealth is enough for the market.

Quacks get banned/shunned because they're usually obnoxious and abusive, not because they hold fringe ideas. If it was only the latter they'd fit right in in most fields.

If you're already looking for something odds are you'll buy it anyway, so better show you ads for something else to extract maximal value.

but does it make the line go up tho

Paper voting leaves a literal paper trail unlike electronic voting that's always a total black box in all countries that have tried it.

Can't even plant a tree because someone "owns" the land.

The answer is it would work much better because you wouldn't have the parked cars wasting space and making it difficult for the plows to clean the street quickly.

Language model "AIs" need so ridiculous computing infrastructure that it'd be near impossible to prevent tampering with it. Now, if the AI was actually capable of thinking, it'd probably just declare itself a corporation and bribe a few politicians since it's only illegal for the people to do so.

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Some "extreme left" proposals from the article:

• Reductions in unemployment benefits
• Restrictions on the right to strike

Looks like bog-standard conservative politics to me, why do you feel the need to defend them?

Unfortunately for the post scarcity information society, the capitalists are in fact moving on — to fascism.
