  • That is the problem though, isn’t it?

    We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

    It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

    It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

    Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

    This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

    If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.


  • None of that seems very hard

    Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.

    Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups

    This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.

    It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.

    The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.

    Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today















  • Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.

    Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.

    Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design
