  • Yeah I don’t see this as an issue

    Usiy the word to convey a certain meaning or intent doesn’t mean you condone it, it doesn’t mean I have Hitler posters on the wall.

    Same as master/slave; I don’t have a dungeon filled with human beings that have to do everything I say. I do have a database setup with a master and multiple slaves. I don’t condone slavery btw, one would think that is obvious

    Want more? How about male/female plugs? Need to van those words too now because somehow that is sexist? Am I excluding transgender people for not having a trans plug? Should we rename those to… I do t even know! We call them that because it makes sense, one goes inside the other, and maybe, juuuuust maybe we shouldn’t read too much into it?

    How about killing all my children! Oh shit, I am an insane mass murderer now! Worse? How about forking a child process? Ooooh shiiiiit, now I am a pedophile! Except that, yeah, no, all that too are just words we use to easily explain relationships between processes on computers, and how we duplicate processes or end them, and we use those words because they make intuitive sense. But, I guess that too soon willl be an issue.

    I can’t wait for the kill command to be renamed to “snuggle” or something.




  • That is the problem though, isn’t it?

    We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

    It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

    It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

    Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

    This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

    If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.


  • None of that seems very hard

    Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.

    Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups

    This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.

    It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.

    The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.

    Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today
