“Under South Korea’s laws, companies must ensure there is human oversight in so-called “high-impact” AI which includes fields like nuclear safety, the production of drinking water, transport, healthcare and financial uses such as credit evaluation and loan screening.”

It’s crazy that everyone else hasn’t introduced similar laws already.

I guess we will wait for something to go wrong first…

Saryazdi has a master of mathematical sciences from the University of Sydney, according to his online profiles.

Math - not even once!

I wonder if there will be a riot/strike anyway?

I mean how long before people refuse to work just to pay someone else’s mortgage?

So increased land taxes and unoccupied home taxes do work to stop prices rising quickly. Now take away negative gearing and CGT discounts and do all of this across the country!

I am glad someone finally had the courage to stand up and say this.

Work should give alcohol rations like sailors used to get!

Maybe it murdered its sibling.

So it could eat more KFC from the local bins itself !

“I’m 100% convinced that most of those denials were being made because the staff that was there were overburdened to the point of just blanket denying shit to make their KPIs”

And I am 100% convinced this type of thing is not an accident. Because why would an insurance company WANT to pay out more than they have to? Instead they slash staff which saves money on pay AND claims and the company can blame any drop in quality on the reduced staff!

It’s genius except for the part where they are killing paying customers!

Once Were Warriors

Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff’s harrowing vision of his country’s indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.

Dysfunction, alcoholism, domestic violence.

But it’s not funny, sorry OP.

LOL sounds like Delivery Unlimited certainly has its limits!

Reddit is a really good site - have you tried it Grimreaper? I think they would like you

No embarrassing is something like shitting yourself in public or what RayGun did at the Olympics.

You are fine.

Newspeak: “In the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984), by George Orwell, Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to reduce a person’s ability to think critically.”

“A lay person is very easily impressed by a large number of followers,” said immigration lawyer Elektra Yao, founding partner of the Yao Law Group. “You don’t need to be a rocket scientist,” she said.

This world seems to get more anti-intellectual by the day.

Also as Snot Flickerman points out there are some real “The Handmaid’s Tale” vibes here and I would not be surprised!

You already did this one: https://lemmy.world/post/38119616

If they are very devout they have probably been taught that homosexuality is a sin. They didn’t know what to say so went with “that’s nice”

That’s what I would expect anyway.

“The rich are too rich, and the poor remain poor… (and people) lack confidence in their future, so they may be unwilling to have children.”

Sounds like it’s the same problem everywhere.

So question: will people accept the growing divide between rich and poor or will there be revolutions at some point ?

What would it take to make people rebel anyway ? I guess when there is nothing left to lose e.g. already starving to death ?

It was one of the main inspirations for the Matrix so it sort of has been made.

But yeah I could see a Neuromancer movie being good too! I can’t remember exactly how similar Neuro was to the Matrix because it has been so long but it did have the concept of “plugging in” to the network at least

edit Neuromancer TV series is coming soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer_(TV_series)

Time to stock up on Zooper Doopers !

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,”

Or the support of the press !
