Homicide is wrong and it can be a slippery slope.

However, the system for dealing with monopolies/oligopolies is broken. Regulatory capture has occurred. The rich shifted taxes to the poor. And a Fortune 8 company continues to kill thousands of Americans and make massive profits from doing so.

The Paradox of Intolerance tells us that letting this continue will only result in the deaths of thousands more Americans. Tolerating this behavior results in more 1000x more American deaths and inspires others to profit off the pain, misery, and death of our fellow citizens.

AI has it’s usecases, but it’s not currently at a place where students can be left alone with an AI. This is dumb.

Healthcare is a human right. Socialized medicine is cheaper than our current system, gives more people access, and prevents incidents like this.

It is cheaper both in direct costs and in terms of unforeseen consequences.

Agreed. It **should **be a meritocracy. However, for anyone who has worked a job for more than a few years, it’s obvious that it often doesn’t work that way.

False choice fallacy. Both can be the problem.

Socialism for the rich.

Rugged capitalism for the poor.

The richest Americans are above the law.

Intelligent people leave a space of about two cars ahead of them on the freeway.

Stupid people think that space must be for them.

We do have lots of places like Sheetz that serve a similar function, but to be entirely automated is rare.

Automats might be a closer analog.

Vending machines work better when there’s more foot traffic and more density.

Vending machines with specialty goods (as pictured) need to be restocked every day and they require even more foot traffic. I think this is the biggest factor why OP’s vending machine is not viable in a lot of places in the US.

This is just improving LLMs, but with more steps.

Wait till this guy learns how a theremin work.

The writer has a clear bias and a lack of a technical background (writing for Techies.com doesn’t count) .

You don’t have to look hard to find devs saving time and learning something with AI coding assistants. There are plenty of them in this thread. This is just an opinion piece by someone who read a single study.

Somebody has been hitting the moon sugar a little too hard.

Great memory and great description of Shrinking. Also, take that! joke-stealing comic.

Lol you cared enough to respond. Sorry you’re too stupid to hold a conversation.

Never said the study was bullshit. I just said to look at the bigger picture.

I would show you how Google works and provide an article, but your reading comprehension leads me to believe you’d come up with another straw man fallacy to support your confirmation bias.

“The only way to interpret statistics is with a healthy dose of skepticism and a thorough understanding of their context.”

While people in this thread jump at the opportunity for this slice of statistics to affirm their confirmation biases, intelligent people will ask what the total carbon dioxide output looks like by comparison.
