Are you sure? It looks a while lot like the TADIP button

My guy, we live in a world where we are required to have a job to live. Most of those jobs are not essential for society to function. Some of these jobs make people happy and passionate, many others are soul grating and awful. This technology makes some of those enjoyable jobs much less lucrative while the product becomes worse. We simply lose things that bring people joy and for what? Like seriously, I cannot think of something an ai can bring to the table that a human cannot in terms of art.

Why would you want to remove the jobs people enjoy and are passionate about just for the sake of it? Why would you campaign to strictly make people less happy? If it wasn’t for the horrible system we live in I’d be all for this kind of advancement, but it does not make life easier, it does not get us better things, and it almost exclusively makes life worse for millions of people with nothing to show for it.

I really wish some large government would order that all hardware manufacturers publicly released any source code used to make the hardware run. I think there are some real arguments you could make for the benefit of the economy if that happened. A hardware manufacturer can still lean on selling the physical parts even if the software can be copied, and the software can be tailored to their hardware making it harder for it to apply to their competitors. I’d actually like to hear others’ opinions on that too.

I get the feeling it’s going to be constantly running around in circles. The corporations are constantly looking for ways to enshittify things to improve profits, but too much and people don’t want to deal with it. They’re constantly looking for that balance in a landscape that’s constantly changing, and so constantly experimenting with what they can get away with.

Oh he is

I would simply prefer my car didn’t have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it’d have my attention so fast.

Know what? If it makes someone else happy then go for it. Hand me to some necrophiliacs while you’re at it, I will literally not care.

I wish I could go that long without eating.

It’s convenience. That’s really it. And I don’t like to admit it, but that level of inconvenience is too high for me to try using it that way.

I think that in an ideal world, every dollar a customer is forced to pay over their advertised rate should be grounds for said customer to personally hit the CEO over the head with a metal pipe. I think that would be a very fair and reasonable policy to put into law, and would help incentivize these companies to offer services which the consumer is able to easily understand and choose between before spending their hard-earned money on. Though I’d be open to other ideas.
