Chaotic Entropy

Spotify furious that they aren’t getting their cut.

Once the US starts saying that nobody who trades with the US can deal with Canada, Denmark, Mexico, etc… then it starts to get interesting.

Is a strictly enforced economic sanction better than an all out regime change invasion/occupation of another sovereign country that costs the lives of millions… we’ll have to get back to you on that one.

Considering the sort of driving issues and code violations I see on a daily basis, the standards for human drivers need raising. The issue is more lax humans than it is amazing robots.

But if you stop me from criming, how will I get better at crime!?!

You seem really up in arms about this.

Well that’s the neat thing, the owners of the AI won’t need humanity. They will exterminate us using the AI and sit smugly on their thrones of skulls until they expire or kill each other. Then I guess AI can just do its own thing in our ruins.

We can make the AI slave, we just need the humans to be more slave-like to do it.

As ever, a “technical backdoor” for anyone is for everyone.

I tried to watch one video from a guy on a specific topic and he opened with an update on his divorce. Coooool.

Anyone who doesn’t want be evil is doing so performatively. Obviously.

Good or bad, sane or nuts, at a certain point you just end up being utterly out of touch with daily reality.

Humans are the ones tooling and retooling these units for specific purposes, which can be done far more efficiently in situ in an underwater habitation. Along with any other human activities that will be occurring, such as immediate study in a dedicated lab facility.

What part of the opening rationale was incomprehensible?

“With current diving at 150 to 200 meters, you can only get 10 minutes of work completed, followed by 6 hours of decompression. With our underwater habitats we’ll be able to do seven years’ worth of work in 30 days with shorter decompression time. More than 90 percent of the ocean’s biodiversity lives within 200 meters’ depth and at the shorelines, and we only know about 20 percent of it.”

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his chattel property’s brow?

If only they explained their reasoning somewhere… all these headlines are so inconsiderate.

He didn’t become the richest prick in the world by spending his own money.

I’m concerned with switching to a small alternative which then becomes untenable or shutters within a year and then having to piss around again.

They’ve been making deeeeeep cuts in order to make the company “more like a startup”, as per Jack Doresey’s comments.

They laid off 10% of their workforce last year, and like 20% of the remaining work force late this year with cuts to engineering expected. It is not in a healthy place, seemingly, and they cover a very small slither of the market.

Edit: Couldn’t find the exact article I had read before but this one seems well formatted. https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/12/tidal-bets-future-artists-djs/

It doesn’t help that their parent company makes so little from them compared to a series of crypto ventures, but what can really compare to that.
