I mean, cynical part of me wants to thank you, since my kids will have better chance at life with less competition for it.

And americans will still do nothing about it, just accept it as a new status quo and complain a bit online.

Bottom left. I was curious. Also I thought maybe, just maybe europe.pub would not be 90% posts about USA and Trump. How naive I was! Turns out I just found a second reddit, and it’s occasionally good!

In ten years or so scam messages will be “cheap food sold directly by the farmer”.

Do you have any idea how much you have to abuse a living being for it to consciously not want to have kids?

And we achieved this level of abuse on humans! And we did it very well, in reproducible way, with reproducible results across multiple countries! We should make a research paper about it.

I don’t need to know any CEO to find a person who thinks they are smarter or better than everyone else. Why americans gave so much power to those idiots is beyond me though.

Also - post title is disingenuous. Current wave of AI is an engineering marvel, marketed dishonestly and used haphazardly.

My masters degree in intelligent systems wept in the corner after seeing your explanation.

But I guess cars are just four wheels and a fancy basket people sit in.

big business is still accountable for everything they do

In USA? Gosh, I can’t laugh harder.

I mean, the countries that absolutely hated Soviets still allied with them when Nazis became the problem. It’s nothing new that “lesser evil” is seen more favorably than “dangerously deranged aggressive nazi at the helm of country full of nuclear weapons and no human willing to stop him”

Whoever thought that this machine that can predict next word in a sentence, next sentence in a conversation etc. should be used in place of all human intellectual work… should have his elderly care taken over by LLM.

I mean… people treat badly everything that is theirs only for a time. Renters and their flats, leasers and their cars, politicians and their countries, borrowers and the tools, leaseholders and the fields…

There is a joke in my country that even apocalypse will come to us with 30 year delay.

No, impossible! They are not white enough for that! /s

I will add this to the list of reasons I’m happy not to live in the USA, as soon as I manage to add new page to it.

Japanese react to imposing of our morals on them like westerners would react to criminalization of drinking alcohol. I wonder how strange and abhorrent elements of our culture must look to them.

Then again, I consider french to be weird and borderline pro-crime for prohibiting the paternity tests…

Poor people shouldn’t segregate trash, shouldn’t collect bottles etc.

Instead cheapest products should be biodegradable, wrapped in something that can’t last shit, transported only by ships and trains. It’s the companies who profit from selling products that should be held responsible for the product eco footprint.

Nothing in USA rewards intelligence. Not education system, not employers, not government. Why develop a skill that isn’t in demand? Would you want to develop medieval brickmaking just because some researcher is measuring for it?

And AI would hand you a salad calling it a pizza.

Fair point.

Honestly I liked your responses and nitpicked to hear more of it, but now I see how mistaken I was.

To think I wasted so much time talking to particularly dumb bot.
