I'm suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won't happen to China now that they're industrialized.
We tax things that aren't money all the time, see property taxes.
It's also worth mentioning Gates has made our public education system worse by introducing us to the voucher system. Billionaires are part of why we don't spend our tax dollars on things like universal healthcare or free college.
I pay property taxes based on the value of my home, but what home is worth billions?
Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?
We don't don't need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could fund that and so much more. This guy doesn't get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein's plane, at least not without coming clean first.
Here's a question: why don't you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?
Back when search engines worked.... Pepper Ridge Farms remembers
That makes it a commodity, not art.
their argument is so broad it ends up also applying ti things like photography.
That's what you said, so I take it as: if I give a definition that includes Photography, it will be regarded as too broad. But I went ahead and gave you part of a definition anyways.
What I said is that Art is not a commodity. I will grant you that "wanting things" and "getting things" is a form of human expression, but it is not art, that is exchanging commodities. If you can express a Generative AI scenario where someone draws upon their "values" instead of their desires then you might have an example of art. So in your library scenario, what "values" are behind their desires for "digital art"? Or is this person just wanting a certain aesthetic?
But he's totally not a Nazi because he is black.
