zzzz…. Ok, you win

You make a compelling case… oh hang on…

Yes, but no, this is insufficiently dull.

Yes - Building Societies

Social media always leads you to compare your inside with everyone else’s outside. Nothing good ever comes of this. Live your best life

Not starving anymore

Also Onlyfans economics follows a power law - so like 5 of the models will be wildly popular and making a fortune, most won’t. Like bands, actors and similar.

So throw a few dollars at your favourite open source projects

No, you have to decide what is right for you and he has to respect it - and vice versa of course. This is essential to be able to give enthusiastic consent! If your mutual needs don’t align it’s also ok to not have sex

And people wonder why we can’t get anything done in this country

It all costs money, so if people don’t use it it’ll end up like 3D TV, VR, 8 track tape, voice assistants etc - all these things were going to change the world, but ended up being used where they were useful (and people were prepared to pay for it) - withering everywhere else. AI will be the same - mostly behind the scenes I suspect

I hope she sues and takes them for a lot!

It’ll blow over. Remember when the hot new thing was voice controlled assistants - that didn’t happen either.

I did leave myself a “could be idiots” get out clause

At least it’ll self correct in a couple of years - use a tool, look like an idiot, stop using tool

If true they’re all idiots, but I don’t believe the story anyway. All the data question answering LLMs I’ve seen use the LLM to write SQL queries on your databases and then wrap the output in a summary. So the summary is easy to check and very unlikely to be significantly wrong. AI/ML/statistics and code is a tool, use it for what it’s good for, don’t use it for what it’s not, treat hype with skepticism

Well that article was a great pile of nothing

With capitalism and the adoption of a free market economy. Less on the democratic oversight

Accepting the ambiguity you point out, saying that capitalism inherently promotes poverty is a stretch. It’s demonstrably the spread of liberal free market capitalism over the last 50 years has been the key to dragging more people out of poverty than ever before. It sure ain’t perfect, and needs to be moderated with appropriate democratic oversight and regulation, but it’s worked better than anything else we’ve tried

Also poverty existed long before capitalism

The point about centaurs is good too
