So most of the air is going into the bubble to fill it more? Lovely

As they actively destroy any chance of progress in computing? Probably even degressing it by supporting the AI bubble? Good luck with having robots that can't do more than 5% of the basics of what an average human can do :)
Sure it'll be able to do it very "efficiently", but that efficiency is extremely relative at best, and sacrifices way more in the background making it less efficient overall.
Too bad the people running these companies can't see beyond their next quarterly numbers to know this, or know how business, technology, the economy, or how humans work.
It's more ironic to think that those pissy rich people throwing a tantrum about how taxes ruin everything, yet they almost always prefer to live in high taxes places because living there is better.
The hypocrisy would be so funny if it wasn't so harmful to most people.
Oh wow so there ARE actually some adults in the government? Suprising but nice to see. Hopefully the children don't throw another tantrum and ruin it.. Like usual
Opt-out!? Sounds like some woke shit capitalist jesus wouldn't agree on
Probably same reason cancer always needs to grow. It's a fundamentally broken part of the system.
When insecure and weak little boys are in positions of power...
Honestly, that doesn't sound bad, as long as it's clearly communicated and has opt-in/opt-out.
I wouldn't mind selling some of my data that i choose consensually, and getting fairly compensated for it.
Especially when comparing that to how most (if not all) current major companies just covertly steal all they can about you and sell it behind our backs to whoever.
Saying all that, i don't support current AI model training practices at all. So i agree (for now) with the means, not the end results.
So genocide is totally fine with microsoft, but the precious terms of service of data storage? Now that's consequential to them 😒🙄
Still good news for Palestinians overall
It took me a second to realize that's not just a fluffy hanger

I totally agree! I think progress is the way to go, aside from death. And soul killing jobs have to die out with progress.
But the problem is i don't think the current technological level of automation is even close enough to replace a significant enough portion of these jobs.
Because if they can, we won't have basically all the rich assholes pay a sum in the billions in lobbying to make sure workers are always available to them on the cheap, with the least amount of protection against exploitation. They wouldn't try to so hard to put down strikes, higher wages, unions, less working hours, job security, etc. They wouldn't care as much because a machine would be way cheaper and never complains.
Our technology has to progress and imporve way more to make it possible. Progress that's based on research, trial and error, investments, talent and raising talent and skill, and all kinds of things that cut down on immediate profits. Basically the antithesis to the current economical model that all those fucks are horny for.
To me this is the same as if in the middle ages a king was like "just kill all the peasants and make the wizards summon fully obedient servants to do the necessary work". While their wizards are still trying to figure out how to take a rabbit out of a hat.
