Why would you do it with people you don’t trust?

But you could work together with other people, and you could be many people that each checked his/her part for malicious code.

The decision not to sell VLC represents an act of resistance against the increasing privatization of software. In an era when many free applications are monetized through advertising, subscriptions or data collection, VLC remains true to its original mission:

Cool 😎
And thanks. 👍 😀

It not only gave way, it actually paved the way.
Brainwashing about American individual freedom ideals, have become idolization of billionaire sociopaths as the ultimate expressions of individual freedom.

No need for social darwinism or sketchy eugenics-flavored arguments to explain this.

Oh for fucks sake with the strawman arguments. u/freedom never stated anything indicating support for eugenics. But apart from that you are totally wrong about the social Darwinism, it’s just not genetic but Memetic as Richard Dawkins has defined it, bad ideals spreading like disease. As in the idolization of personal freedom and money resulting in idolization of sociopathy as the ultimate expression of individual freedom.
So u/freedom was more right than you, it’s just not genetics driving this problem, it’s cultural insanity.

That’s a conclusion you pulled out your ass, and is not supported in what he writes.

It is not genetic, USA is not an old enough country to have had any significant genetic evolution.
It is instead as Richard Dawkins has described Memetic.
Americans have a tradition of being extremely proud of being free, this feature has been advertised as the most significant thing about USA to Americans to a degree that is akin to brainwashing.
While freedom admittedly is a good thing, the way Americans praise it religiously has turned out to be toxic.
Because sociopathy is now seen as the ultimate expression of individual freedom, so sociopathy is widely admired as a virtue.
This combined with how sociopathy is often rewarded economically, because exploiting people and grabbing all the money for yourself is considered being smart, and the #2 thing religiously praised in USA is money that also reward sociopathic behavior.

This is all about social standards, and the values of society, and has nothing to do with evolutionary shortcomings.
That said, the way some people here claim you are pushing eugenics is completely baseless.

But contrary to your thinking, it seems to me that evolution favor the intelligent more now than it ever did. The demands to intelligence to do well in society are ever increasing, and doing well is an advantage when wanting to have children.

Empathy is most definitely a very significant aspect of human intelligence, just because it isn’t measured in your standard IQ test doesn’t mean it isn’t. Scoring high on an IQ test doesn’t necessarily mean you are very intelligent, it only means you are good at recognizing the type of patterns used in the test.

This is complete bullshit, by someone who has a fixated idea but knows nothing.
At 70 break distance is longer, time to react is shorter, and collision speeds are higher. All factors that increase danger and damage.
You might as well claim that driving 250 is perfectly safe if everybody do it.
Obviously acceleration as in negative acceleration is greater in Collisions at higher speeds. You are either a troll or a very very illogical person.

The evidence is very clear that speed kills. You are spreading misinformation.

Since this article is regarding USA, it’s worse than that. We are living in the golden age of insanity.
Delusional religious people and sociopathic Nazis have taken over USA.

For the civilized world there are warning signs, but insanity is unlikely to take control.

It’s similar to burning books IMO.
Buying something just to destroy it will always be moronic no matter what the item is.
It only accomplishes to make the company that makes those items make more money, so they can make even more items.

I have no idea why they call it “integration”? It’s just a search option like any other search option.
Personally I have 10 search options enabled already, so this is number 11, and if I don’t like it, I will just disable it, which is dead easy to do, with a button for the purpose of changing settings right beside the search options.

I tried it for 2 terms I know very well, and the response was very good, but I would never trust an AI response without double checking.

It is not “normal” to run a 4 year money loser and claiming to be worth billions.

Maybe not, but it is absolutely normal to lose money for years to make a profit later.
Microsoft was ready to lose money on Xbox for 10 years to take a place in the console market. And it’s a very profitable market for them now.
Microsoft tried some of the same with Windows Phone, where they invested billions for years before they gave up.

One of the most hyped AI companies is probably OpenAI, and they absolutely have products that makes them money. They are not profitable yet.
But among the bigger stock holders are Nvidia and Microsoft, and if OpenAI goes under, they will absolutely survive just fine. But I don’t think they will.
OpenAI is owned by companies that know how to make money, and apparently OpenAI knows how to do it too, and has been quicker to make money on for instance ChatGPT than Google was on making money on YouTube.

Some AI companies will go down, that’s the nature of being in a cutting edge business, and it’s the nature of competition. But I think the AI business will mature and stabilize like most businesses have, not burst like a bubble.

Nobody called it a bubble when the smartphone market exploded. Because everybody could see the value of the product, although it’s not quite the same, many companies have been forced out of the smartphone market due to competition. I think the AI market will be mostly similar.

I think VW had it right when you had to do it manually. But I’m not sure that’s still the case.

For me that’s no different than anything else Stelantis.

If functionality can be restore, the car was not bricked.

Bricked means beyond repair. The device is as worthless as a brick because it can’t be repaired, and it has absolutely zero functionality.

So yes it must be comforting for people to know that they can have their car working again.

If it doesn’t pop, it’s not really a bubble, it just looks like it.

It’s perfectly normal for a growth business to invest more than they make, I didn’t say they were profitable yet, but they are making money.

Especially your first paragraph is probably spot on. Short attention span.
