And before that we had tiny wikipedia’s written on paper.

Ive looked into this a little bit before, and while insects have theoretical advantages, its actually really difficult to beat chickens for turning feed into protein. Beef is extremely inefficient by nature, but theres a lot of technical hurdles between us from an insect meat world.

At that point its just self hatred manifest.

And that’s assuming that this chain of events doesnt end in a shooting war. Those are not great for people or the environment.

I know, its really a shame about all those low paying STEM jobs. I remember back when I was a kid I used to tell everyone I wanted to be an engineer when I grew up, but all the moneys in literature and poetry so thats what I had to do. Damn you, capitalism!

Yes, but they both only want these things as means to an end. In the long run they both have dreams of becoming imperial super powers. They can cooperate for now, but they both know its an alliance of convenience.

It doesnt have to be useful to you and it does not have to replace every job, it just has to show revenue and rapid growth. There are lots and lots of tasks out there were management doesnt really care if its perfect as long as its cheap and it gets done. AI will automate that stuff first, but people in rich countries probably wont notice because that sort of work was outsourced years ago. In the meantime, its all going to be about efficiency, having fewer people do the same work with AI assistance.

Thats the investor play here. They know most of the hyped companies will end up like AOL or pets.com, but you’ll also have a Google and an Amazon thrown in there which will pay for it all eventually.

Trump is generating an enormous level of security risk globally, which encourages investment money flow to the country with the biggest military. Ironically, that happens to be the US.

No, they have been discussing it. They wont make any announcement until after German elections.

Because this is more AI hype. You just have to read this from his target audience’s point of view. Because of AI your competitors dont even need employees anymore. Why hasnt this happened to your company? Because you didnt have the right AI suppliers and gurus.

Understood. Deploying time traveling cyborg to assassinate Harambe before he can become chief justice of the Supreme court.

They wernt going to be operating in China anyway.

I’m not sure what you want exactly. Its pretty hard to prove a negative, but that does not make the inverse true.

It seems like a pretty good reason to exclude them, considering the criticism being discuss was specifically that they would inevitably decay in to a “might makes right” situation. Communities existing in a situation where police and courts would prevent someone from taking over by force disqualifies them from disproving this hypothesis.

Which ones? There are few places on Earth that are not under practical control of a formal government and legal system, and most of those places are either unpopulated or controlled by various local power brokers.

Sales taxes, including VAT, are inherently regressive. Normally things like unprocessed food are exempted to minimize impact, but it does still affect the poor more than the rich. Why keep them? They are easy to collect, hard to avoid and can bring in lots of revenue without people noticing or complaining.

Waltzes are the worst.

Im going to guess its a proportional cost issue. Drivers take up a much larger percentage of the cost of shipping a ton of cargo by truck that the cost a human engineer on a train.
