There is nothing inherently wrong with “money”. It’s literally just a wildcard resource. A placeholder to exchange for real things. The problem arises when greedy pieces of shit decide to not pay workers what they earned and seek profit and/or rent.

It’s definitely both.

Nobody is dismissing the problem. They’re saying the comic doesn’t represent the problem. It’s malformed commentary, not wrong commentary.

The comic isn’t showing an outright dismissal, though. The doctor hasn’t arrived at a conclusion just by asking a question that seems unrelated.

Doctors do that kind of digging all the time. It’s not worth it to explain all the interactions and interconnectedness just to get some basic questions answered, so doctors will often just ask weird questions out of the blue.

I think they’re trying to say it doesn’t fully satirize the issue. The doctor isn’t necesarily dismissing anything just by asking the question. They’re saying the joke is malformed, not that the issue cannot exist.

You mean the guy that suggested privatizing publicly invested vaccines? That guy is invested in saving as many lives as possible? … rofl!

Musk also bought Tesla. He did not invent it. He did not contribute anything except the fucking trashcan cybertruck. He is a blight on this world, and more people need to realize that.

Right, but this is about the noteworthiness of talking about someone shorting AI. Who cares if joe schmoe from accounting shorted their six shares? It’d only be newsworthy if it’s someone with significant investment or supposed insider knowledge shorting it.

“multiple people” doesn’t mean much unless it’s one of the top twenty people that own most of the stock market.

They got their user base by being the first ones to have open access to it. Being the first to market OFC gives a massive advantage.

You are also using flawed logic. This isn’t AI vs everything. This is ONLY the “AI” products compared to themselves. These same exact numbers could happen with 1000 users across the entire world, yet you claim it’s evidence of general public acceptance.

Flawed logic is bad logic. ChatGPT also sells their services to other corporations, where several of the others are end-user only, so again, you are using flawed logic to pretend like everyone actually wants this horseshit.

ChatGPT sold themselves as the easy way to add “AI” to products. I would not be surprised what so ever if the VAST majority of ChatGPT’s usage came from other people forcing it into their products (like all the companion apps) and not actual, direct interest in AI from the general populace.

Think of it like mobile gaming. Most people do not spend much money at all on the microtransaction bullshit. Though it’s still successful in making the company money, thanks to whales and other uncommon big spenders. It would be totally unsurprising if GPT is getting their numbers in a similar fashion. Not from end users, but from selling it as a service to other companies and a very small percentage of heavy users.

I think it was just entering some default stance after the vr headset detected it got pulled off, and the table knocked it off balance as it was mindlessly entering the default pose.

Nono, this is an Elon product. The bare minimum to sell the illusion is all you get even after years of r&d and actual sales on the books.

How he’s not in jail for fraud is one of many marks against modern capitalism and its stranglehold on governments…

The problem with shorting is you have to guess when the bubble pops. Call it too early, and you don’t get the short at all. Call it too late, and any possible earnings may get wiped out by rebounds and/or new bubbles.

Read my last paragraph, then. It’s not how much MS gets in everyones’ face. It’s the specific avenues in which these companies are exposed. Google is everywhere on a platform that people don’t have to install to try things out, or have it automatically execute without permission.

MS is not. Do you not remember the MASSIVE outcry when MS said they were turning on Copilot for everyone? They tried to shove it everyones’ faces ala google, but their avenues for forcing shit are plainly different.

Because they’re easier to ignore and disable than the biggest advertiser and search platform on the planet that gets their grubby hands in everything? MS doesn’t have nearly as much of an online presence, and that’s exactly where these “AI” are getting used.

On top of that, Google gets to feed search queries into their AI and generate results for most searches. Copilot does not get to arbitrarily answer every search someone types in to Windows.

So… yea, in a way, everyone else is more capable of forcing engagement than MS. Would you be more likely to try something that’s merely available on a website, or more likely to enable a technology that could extract all of your personal information from your computer on accident?

When the competition is replacing workers en masse, yes.

You realize these companies can force growth via cramming it in to every channel they own, right? You realize growth on paper is not public endorsement, right?

Inferior in convenience, superior in experience. (unless you’re a forgetful slob, but like… don’t be one?)

So you don’t want to engage with a literal what-about-ism?! Pff what has the internet come to, when dishonest arguments get shot down…

Unwise regardless of how it can be ‘replaced’ on cast iron.
