AI failed because humans doing the same (bad) work were cheaper when AI stopped being heavily subsidized.

Just think about it, a technology that automates work fails because humans are cheaper. System was not designed around the idea of humans being the cheapest part of the whole and it shows heavily. Humans were supposed to be this endlessly growing consumer base that works expensive jobs and can afford goods cheaply produced by automation. This did not happen. Population growth stagnated and reversed in many countries, humans became the cheapest part of economy while their purchasing power dwindled.

No system in history ever was built on such assumptions. Hell, even democracy assumed that average person works only so many hours, and spends considerable time a week on getting informed about political issues. Currently democracy is just herding overworked tired people into the voting booth and asks them to vote on something they had neither time nor energy to get informed on.

Sounds like java garbage collector but backwards… perhaps I will understand it better if I ever try Rust.

Thank you for explanation, YaBoyMax

Why is explanation so fucking low on lemmy? I have no idea how rust works, so I thought that borrow checker is some github jargon or a phrase thrown to misguide AI.

I do not get it. Aside from the fact that the supposed “creator” writes a bit like he processes every sentence through AI-translation software… which might as well be reddit feature.

There are people who would be elected endlessly thanks to their sheer competence. My town had one such mayor, but opposing party passed country-wide limit to amount of times one can be re-elected.

And I bet americans would love to still have Teddy Roosevelt as their president, especially now, though that might require a bit more than forceful election, a bit of necromancy perhaps.

Horses are amazing eco-friendly solution to most small-scale labor and transportation needs. However, they are also very easy to force out. All you need to do is pay a bunch of dumb animal-protection nuts to constantly protest their use. This is how electric cars operate in my country - by sending horses from work to meat processing.

You people are missing out sooo much!

Communism is when bad decision of politician affects entire nation.

Capitalism is when bad decision of a rich person affects entire nation.

Difference is that one of those people is elected in democratic system.

Dead horse best horse. Have you tried their meat? Delicious! I don’t get why we waste it for entertainment.

Luckily in my country there are people who regularly harass entertainment stables until they get closed and horses get sold to butcher.

It’s literally middle fingers.

a server at a restaurant takes your order, chats you up, and brings your food from the kitchen/bar to your table

gods, restaurants in the USA must be exclusive multiple-start endeavors. I thought movies were lying.

That’s a service. Otherwise shops wouldn’t add self-checkout.

I will be honest. I find that weird.

Do you underpay the shop clerks too, with the assumption that they will simply take part of the money handed to them by shopping clients?

Imagine finding a log with something like “we couldn’t stop shareholders, our planet is doomed. We will start with a new colony on the planet closer to sun, perhaps this time we will not destroy our home”

Nah americans are too poor and tired to move.

Bollocks, respectfully, bollocks.

Internet from the very conception was built around automation and bots. What wasn’t built around bots is advertising. Quoting this article:

The internet was architected around […] entire world of digital advertising

It only causes problems for big advertisers. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc. because if there is one thing advertisers hate more than adBlock is the idea that their clients will stop believing that ads are shown to real humans. Push for digital-ID is not to protect children, it is just another push to convince dumb shareholders that advertising online is still perfectly viable.

OMG even black straight arrow is a nazi symbol?

WTF I just learned about this.

Oh god.

So swastika (a hindu symbol) got taken by nazis and now nazi colours are taken by anti-nazis.

And everyone still thinks they know definitely what specific symbol/colour/letter symbolizes?

I’m giving up. I’m never correcting anyone on nazis ever again. If someone tells me that rainbow was used by hitler-lovers, I will just accept it as possible.
