Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe
Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early
I think they’re too big to bail out at this point
Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once
Well she’s not wearing her wedding ring apparently
I’m actually predisposed to give her a little grace. I don’t know her story, but maybe she ended up with a kid before she realized the deal
She’s a grifter, he’s a more successful grifter. It’s not that complicated
MTG is distancing herself for a presidential run. She cut all direct criticism of Trump at the same time she started sounding like Kamala - she’s got so many consultants up her ass
She resigned for the same reason so many others are considering it… It’s a really bad time to be in office. Being an incumbent right now is not a good look
Republicans haven’t fallen in line with Trump over ideology… They have no ideology. They just want to be reelected, and right now it’s looking like Trump is a sinking ship. It’s becoming very clear it’s been Trump and their career, and only a few (like Mike Johnson for reasons I don’t understand) are willing to double down on Trump after the election results
Lots of countries say that, but that’s incredibly impractical in practice
Through clenched teeth. Let’s be real, this was obviously damage control for him… The votes were already clear
They all fell in line to release the Epstein files… Well, all but one
This is the fucker who put us on the worst timeline! Get their ass!
And the humans move around them, guiding parts into place with mechanical assistance and doing the finer details, because it’s really fucking hard to fully automate the process
I miss when companies at least pretended to try to give customers a good experience
Because the automated tools are human scale
Even if you rework them all to be fully automatic, you still need a human scale robot to move the work pieces from station to station
The only place with projected population growth is Africa, and they’re being industrialized too
I mean, maybe we could get the global south to abandon their elderly to take care of ours… That’s probably what’s going to end up happening if we can’t get AI to do it
