The European kind. Not the Extended Universe nor Eastern University.

My country? I am from the EU!

Let’s try not to be offensive.

From the entry for “zaibatsu” on Wikipedia:

Under the Allied occupation after the surrender of Japan, a partially successful attempt was made to dissolve the zaibatsu. Many of the economic advisors accompanying the SCAP administration had experience with the New Deal and were highly suspicious of monopolies and restrictive business practices, which they felt to be both inefficient, and to be a form of corporatocracy (and thus inherently anti-democratic).

The only difference? The zaibatsu actually diversified their operations.

It is literally AI taking time out of of your life, I don’t see how that doesn’t make sense to you.

I suggest you watch his old Adam Ruins Everything videos

You don’t need an organized group to have people who compromised on logic forcing their views on others. Sure, an organized group can be more efficient, but it is also more visible as a threat.

I wish! I would be happy to be their Lovecraftian abyss.

No, the problem is accepting uncritically anything that comes from a self-defined leader, and, even in the absence of that, accepting that any critical input in a social system should come from people that have compromised on logic and reason at some level.

Finally, I found another one like me. Prepare for a shower of shit in the comments, as most people here defend religion strenously.

That is the title. There is an article beyond that.

And my investment bank doesn’t let me short on it.

You are talking about 2 different applications of AI to the job market.

In the eyes of many, including many Germans, that by now sounds like a very bad excuse.

That is indeed the thing I and everyone keep asking themselves when seeing Germany pro-Chat Control. This and the pro-Israel stance contribute to a very ambiguous reputation.

Or maybe people like me and unlike you will keep fighting and it will never pass.

I tried many times before, mostly pushed by friends nerdier than me. Always failed.

Now I am on Mint since a few months pushed just by myself not accepting AI slop force fed to me by my computer and having become very protective of my privacy since GDPR (I am the DPO at my company).

I must say it has become incredibly user-friendly (at least on Mint CE) and as a gamer, I am very satisfied with both performance and variety (I would have said GabeN be praised one month ago, but I am slowly moving my library to GOG/Heroic, for similar reasons, so the praise has to be shared).

Enlighten me.

That’s when we come onto the scene.

I am continuously “translating” news and opinions from here on LinkedIn. Already got banned from a professional Slack that contains most people in my industry for saying in a private conversation that I like watermelon.

Not gonna stop. People are not politically inclined because we kept our knowledge to ourselves for too long.

I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don’t see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself, while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.

If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.
