And risk the liability when the AI bubble bursts? Microsoft trying to charge customers the actual costs of CoPilot are not going well.
AI companies need to pay for their emissions, subsidize power costs in communities affected by data cents, and just generally be made to shoulder the true costs of what they’re doing. When they pass this on to customers usage will plummet.

Quite a massive reduction in poverty, it seems.

Not a perfect system, but imagine what $14 billion could do for the poorest Americans. Or however much the US has already spent on the war on Iran.
You’re aware 3-4 feet tall humans who can’t swim exist yeah?
Yep, all different variations of some kind of judicial system with courts of law and such.
Social norms are why social order is possible sure. But how do you account for the uncooperative minority?
You’ve forgotten the context of the question. Those institutions don’t maintain social order. They are maintained by social order.
With the rarity of such attacks on US soil by Ukraine, even though it could be argued that it was an accident, the right thing to do is apologize unequivocally if it’s real. Do something to make amends somehow, as best as possible.
We can call Putin a hypocrite and he surely is with many orders of magnitude more innocent blood on his hands. But there’s still no excuse for attacking civilian targets on any side, whether it’s one dormitory or basically everything in Gaza. It’s murder, or it is manslaughter. Nothing else.
Such as?
I can’t think of a better institution than rule of law. The problem is all institutions rely on people to uphold them. Particularly, those in the positions of most power. Not just those with the guns.
Sure, but what else is there?
Insider trading is illegal.
China is doing pretty well for more of its citizens than ever. But, this is obviously an embellishment that is far from reality.
Even if 90% is true, owning a home implies personal democratic freedoms. That’s not how housing works in China. Unless you’re wealthy you’re not leaving the town or city you were born in, not without losing your welfare benefits, so you better have a decent job offer if you try.
I never said he hadn’t dropped the ball. You’re making the same point I am. It’s okay to sometimes drop the ball. You’ve got to pick your battles, and you’re bound to choose the wrong ones occasionally too.
Should he have picked this one? You seem to think so. What would you have had him do, that you think would have been the right thing? Just passionate condemnation of the law that was passed?
If you’re not seeing Memdani as an ally in this cause, I really don’t know what to say to you. There are very few politicians who are more supportive of the Palestinian people than he is, but you have got to pick your battles.
You’ve also got to support somebody, or you’re just a nihilist.
*mesmerizing.
It wasn’t his law, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn’t add his signature, which is a reasonable protest.
Grasping at straws to find fault here mate.
*captivating.
Our current leadership are a bunch of muppets.
They’re not even putting existing roads first for safety and active modes improvements. Instead, they want to build more “roads of national significance” or basically big expensive motorways. Better rural connections are needed but there are bigger priorities for the economy that would actually support and encourage growth.
