A competing company can open an insurance scheme for Chicago homes only at the original price. The private sector has far fewer insensitives to subsidize weakness

Sorry for the English, but the linked post made me realize that unrestrained AI corporations could become as powerful as countries. Think about it…

A country:

• Offers services to outside customers (from the humans living in it)
• Has a pool of money (tax) that it uses to fight for its own interests

An AI corpo:

• Offers services to outside customers (from its AI systems)
• Has a pool of money (profit, tantamount to a 100% tax) that it uses to fight for its own interests

An AI corpo begins playing on equal footing as human countries when it hijacks a human country (US, via corrpution), and gets it to fight for its interests (essentially becoming a parasite).

Then we get to balance of trade. A country generally becomes weaker as it gets a negative balance of trade. Humans, and hence human countries, have limited productivity. AI corpos will have limitless(ish) productivity. If human countries gradually outsource their non-physical jobs to the AI corpos, which keep improving their AI, their balance of the countries’ trade with the corpos will get increasingly negative, and this will force these countries of humans to become subservient to them.

Possible counterpoints:

• AI corpos get broken up
• Countries steal/copy the models and run them for themselves
• There will always be an economy for physical goods that the AI corpos will not be able to produce, and human countries will have exclusivity on

Samson or Samsung?

Shame more countries don’t have referenda. It would be a really useful tool for addressing political bombs that no party wants to touch like cannabis or abolishing the triple lock

Hmm, could you theoretically connect the output of a sewage plant to the input of a drinking water treatment plant, or does the river/dilution/… play some sort of important role in the middle?

Vista could easily be made into a normal gray Windows experience

If it was polite I’d be existing there right now

appeared online in the early 2020’s

I still cannot comprehend that it’s now the late 2020s. FFS, it’s 2022

I still don’t get how we managed to go on for so many decades doing it. The rivers must have been disgusting. (I’m looking at you, Ganges)

I still think it’s an underappreciated wonder of science that we are able to take literal shit soup and turn it back into drinking water again.

Don’t be, that’s falling for their trap!!!

The only kind of pulling out that Donald Trump is keen on

and somehow naturally understand each other without having to speak

I haven’t had the kind of love you mentioned unfortunately but I really love when somebody’s very presence is legible to me like how you describe. Like, you can read their movements and you just understand

I see, you’re right that listening to previous hits would definitely help put RnR into perspective

No but take the 80s. People look back to those for good music, even today. I suppose it must mean that the 50s RnR trend was tantamount to today’s autotuned latino rap

Oh haha, I posted it because I find it funny lol (this isn’t a serious comm)

Much prefer them to flies tbh

This kind of content is why I pay for internet

Wasn’t expecting to see Rachel Reeves
