  • I really don’t think their goal is consumers.

    Sure they want consumers to use generative AI so that they get quality feedback so they can improve the product. But that is not the goal.

    The goal is enterprises, the goal is replacing workers with AI.

    There are estimations that around 300B$ have spent so far for generative AI. This is not for a gadget that close to no-one likes and burns money rather than make money

    This is for removing humans from the productive cycle. It is such an ambitious goal that the various CEOs/shareholders are ok taking such an high risk gamble.

    Trump will ditch any red tape to AI because Trump openly wants this world, a world where there isn’t any more the need for immigrants or workers or unions.

    My ingenuity suggests me that this plan will fail on technical grounds but if it will not, it will be worse. There will be poverty and civil unrest, there will be instability and wars (it’s always easier to look for the enemy outside rather than inside) and, in the end, economy will not do great either (who will buy the crap people will produce?)

    Again, I think that this plan will fail on technological grounds but removing red tapes will not accelerate this failure


  • Required: only in EU Available: EU close countries (UK, Switzerland, etc)

    In the US banking is a bit different than over here. People still pay rent with checks (that in EU are de facto obsolete) possibly sent in an envelope via mail.

    You may wonder why…. Because a money transfer (that in EU is generally for free) in US is often a double digit operation.


  • It’s a mechanism that is compulsory in EU (and nearby countries like Switzerland).

    When you try to spend money online (without the plastic card), you need a second factor. In practice in, let’s say, Amazon there is an iframe with a page of your bank that asks to confirm the operation on the banking app or insert the code they sent you by SMS or things like that

    Yes, i got it, but it depends from the distribution. If there is correlation on where the bad apples appears (e.g. for cultural or socio economic conditions), it is more likely that we are close to the case of 3 bunches (that is 30 apples, just 5 more than the “original” apples)

    If we stop this parallelism (that is what I disagree with) and we move to the actual issue with the police, i think it’s a problem with all power positions: all positions that come with power (no matter how small) attract certain kind of people. This is true from the folks that check tickets in public transportation to teachers. Police is worse because there is a lot of unchecked power and close to no accountability

    The solution is not how to do bin packing of the bad apples, the solution is reducing the power, increasing accountability and add checks (e.g. while body cam have some privacy implications that i don’t like, it’s a step in that direction)
