If you seriously think that “videos, images, text on a screen can’t compel action” then you’ve just revoked every single right you had to be part of this discussion.

To be perfectly fair this ain’t that different to the various drone aided bombings of civilians in the Middle East.

The US is just continuing some habitual military-sanctioned murder slightly closer to home.

It’s not the navigation that requires the server but the processing of the mapping data.

Which in itself is BS because most of these vacuums come with hardware roughly equivalent of a top of the line smartphone from about 5-6 years ago. They can easily do the raw data to map conversion, even if it’s a bit slow and takes 20-30 seconds.

Also if you read the article it specifies that the damn thing is already running Google Cartographer which is a SLAM 3D map builder software - one of the better pro-grade mapping software suites, mind you. So the whole claim of cloud needed for processing is BS.

You “delete” or burn all that wealth, and you kill the poorest 50% of the planet practically overnight.

Sorry but burning just the wealth down without taking the system with it would result in chaos that would only hurt the most exposed. That’s why taxing the wealth is the right idea, with further steps taken to ensure such wealth discrepancy cannot exist in the future.

Rolling back anti-slavery laws would also be good for business.

In fact some new laws making anyone whose net worth isn’t at least 50 million USD, a property of a randomly assigned mega-corporation, would be amazingly good for business!

That’s not a good idea, mainly because how billionaires’ wealth works - it’s not in cash but split between various investments, including real estate and other property. Do you suggest we just burn their supercars, their villas, their stocks, their Rolexes?

It’s not a bank account you can set to 0. What they have as available cash is at most 10% of their wealth, but usually under 1%, since cash is riskier than other investments.

Hell, the reason we’re having trouble taxing the rich is because they use weird loopholes that aren’t available to anyone else - such as taking low interest large lump sum loans backed by their assets/investments, which is tax-free, then defaulting on said loan or writing it off, transferring the backing asset to the loan giver, also tax free… Meanwhile you or me? We’re stuck with cashing out our investments which is an immediately taxable event. Good luck convincing a bank to give you a 0.25% loan of £5000 against your £6000 investment portfolio.

Cuz rockets are cool.

I propose we make some minor changes to the standard guillotine though, as potentially we will need to use it in a zero gravity environment when these fuckers try to escape to space.

I believe a pair of micro-rockets would give the blade assembly the appropriate near-gravity acceleration, but we do need to run the numbers to ensure we don’t end up with single use devices. That would be so wasteful.

Here’s an idea, 90% instant wealth tax on billionaires, and use the influx of money for UBI. Then they’re free to cut all the jobs for AI.

Rinse and repeat this every year until billionaires simply… don’t exist.

Well, the loss of traffic is a knock-on effect of the misrepresentation. So is the fact that every other portal will try to sling shit at the ones affected by it.

I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)

Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the “these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate” warnings placed prominently.

Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.

She’s getting a nice kickback from all the US investments (both public and private) into Israel. It’s that simple. Money talks. Dead children don’t.

No you see those are totally fake videos edited by Hamas to garner sympathy, the reality is that all Palestinians are bloodthirsty savages who’d gladly kill any and all innocent israeli if given the opportunity!

Hillary, most likely. But also, /s on my part if it wasn’t obvious.

Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?

Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?

Jail? The orange turd has been pushing for execution since day 1 of the case.

People are questioning it because the initial CCTV pictures of the murderer do not match Mangione’s features. They look similar enough for it to be pulled in as evidence - and further supported by the items confiscated from him during his arrest, but then again people are questioning the legitimacy of those things too - but the differences are visible enough for even a mid tier lawyer to argue that the CCTV recording is not of their client.

To streaming?

Never.

Streaming is a finite market that is already covered. The moment old money (aka existing media companies) jumped on it, it was done for.
