The big issue is the US trying to ban Tiktok explicity for “national security” without showing the public a shred of evidence. What do you call it when China blocks access to an American app because of “national security”?

Lawmakers and the White House have justified the crackdown on TikTok by claiming the app’s link to Beijing makes it a national security threat. But supporters of a ban have not offered direct evidence of the Chinese government ever attempting to obtain data from the company, nor any proof that authorities there have ever influenced content on the platform used by 170 million Americans.

The only problem with that is it would perform logical actions that do not generate immediate short term profits. It might end up implementing 4 day work weeks and remote work, which are proven to increase productivity.
This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:
If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.
But are you diagnosed with microplastics?
The bigger, the better. Make sure to push really hard when one comes! You’ll be surprised what comes next!
WASTED, never once!
Thanks for the addition! I added that last bit because I did not want to discount the areas where machine learning has had actual success, but I haven’t dug too deep into it.
I know the comic is just making a joke, but in a more designed based focus derived off of sci-fi? To give the simulated consciousness pleasure from achieving whatever goal it was designed to do.
I am against the current “AI” because of the resource cost of usage on a massive scale. We have yet to solve the problem of working together as a species, and we are dumping immense amounts of resources into a faulty product that is not even intelligent. The primary goal currently is to further automate jobs to increase profit margins.
I think the only area where machine learning has made actual accomplishments is in research. https://vilmate.com/blog/nobel-prizes-2024-how-ai-transformed-scientific-achievement/

Chat, is this real?
Especially if Silksong comes out this year. I could see a board memeber pointing at it saying, “IF THAT FLAT GAME CAN MAKE A MORBILLION DOLLARS, WE CAN MAKE ONE SO FAST AND GET SO MUCH MONEY!”
