Is rumored that the Target self check cameras show you the most unflattering image of yourself so that you will want to avoid stealing and getting that photo on the news.

Mobile phones constantly reveal the location to the cell towers. There is no need for an app. This is just mind games.

Google can predict traffic jams because they know the location of everybody. Nobody cares about tracking as long as they can ignore it. The app makes ignoring difficult.

join-lemmy.org could show the posts from all, with a big join button at the top. The introduction page can be shown if somebody presses the join button.

There is one server implementation that shows it to its users. I forgot its name though.

Are most people ok with what is coming or do they just lack the capacity to prevent it?

Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II_development

the program was expected over its lifetime (until 2070) to cost $406.5 billion for acquisition of the jets and $1.1 trillion for operations and maintenance.

How? Hypersonic missiles should make it more difficult.

Add automation for cheap production costs and any defence system can be overwhelmed.

The hate is always there, it’s just not provoked.

With cars, there is no space. Other people are close. Traffic shows us how we feel when our expectations are not fulfilled.

Nobody needs customers. People need resources and are willing to serve customers in exchange.

What has Europe to offer that China needs? We had advanced technologies, but China is quickly surpassing everything.

How should a secret society remove such a video without silencing the author?

https://xkcd.com/1425/

It is easier to do the above three things. Removing a video draws attention to it because the author will post it on other channels. Other people will upload it to check the claim that it is removed.

It’s much easier to drown a problematic video in other content so that only few people discover it. So some people know the real truth, but nobody believes them or cares about them.

There is only one choice: feeling or rationality.

When you feel, you do what feels best.

When you think, you do what is the most valuable.

So no free will but that choice.

This part of the FAQ makes the project interesting:

Services like Google’s Search Console allow website operators to optimize their search page for Google – thus Google crowdsources the robust parsing without making this information available to third parties.

A new search engine is at a disadvantage without that data. Website operators don’t bother maintaining their information at an unknown search engine. Hopefully OWS becomes popular enough that operators use it, e.g. to indicate when their site needs a recrawl or which parts of their site have to be indexed.

The latter made me aware of the former.

This is such a sad ‘isolanistic’ approach. There are other countries in Europe with a less tight labor market. Production could be moved there. Everybody would be happy.

But production is supposed to be automated. The number of newly installed robots compared to China doesn’t make Europe look good.

The plan can only be to push through the next couple of years until OpenAI, Google and Boston Dynamics have developed the robots to take over production.

Like always, google is doing things for free to get training data.

All things are going into an authoritarian direction which needs control of the opposition. Google will have the infrastructure to identify people with opposing mindsets. There won’t be a rebellion if the rebel leaders can be locked up in time.

The biggest pill was that I am not intelligent. I was just studious and invested enough time to pass exams. People not doing what they should do is not them being stupid but me not grasping the full picture.

The second biggest pill that I am still swallowing is that I am not a good person. I try to behave in a good way, but it’s manipulative and not authentic. People don’t like goodness if it doesn’t come from the heart.

Also, when you finally say “no” to them, they act as though you’re a terrible person.

To them, it looks like they are the only person to which you say no. This means that you say no because of them. People don’t like being questioned like that.

Add some assurance that the no is not personal.

Capitalism is also a symptom, a symptom of an intellligence and knowledge imbalance.

People need to be informed and organized to prevent being abused. If they are, they can run a socialist or communist country, or tax their oligarchs without being scammed into losing power.

Some people, e.g. ML, know how to defeat the oligarchs. The majority is not willing to learn and implement it. Even if there has been a revolution, the majority most likely will not stay sharp to prevent a decline.

If the oligarchs are willling to transition into another form of society, they don’t have anything that could take over.
