There are already others selling solar tiles like Tesla, but a bit of a search tells me these tiles are a minority. Existing houses don’t replace their roof but add panels on top of it. New houses seem to go with cheaper large panels that are prettied up to give a tile like effect and build them integrated into the whole of the roof.


Industrialization was also inevitable. It also create 100+ years of misery, exploitation and protest. People of course will assume the same will go for AI, but even worse and they assume that because that’s exactly what the creators of AI say will happen. Understandably some folks are a bit reluctant.


Even then it’s rumoured some brands of TV try to connect to Bluetooth connected devices to connect to the net. I think that was Samsung.


The free market assumes abundant choice and perfect information. And that’s why we have monopolies and massive marketing to counter that.


Lots of people back then worked in a version of gift economy. Trade was with outsiders and was more like a mob meeting with backup standing behind the ones doing the bartering. There was no central authority to make trade clean and board toom style.
But first somebody had to make a movie with the wrong data, making the whole field cool enough to get funding to found out they were wrong.


It used to be called the blinking twelve problem, because many adults were unable or unwilling to learn how to set the clock on a VCR, resulting in it being stuck at the start up state of flashing 12:00.

Because the country is now run like a business and you my friend are just a human resource ripe for extraction.


hundred(s) millionaire
Officially hectomillionaire, as hecto is the prefix for a hundred times but often you also see centimillionaire, but centi is actually 1/100 so technically not correct.


The money would be used for huge bonuses for the executives and US cars wouldn’t be any cheaper or able to complete in the end.
Learning would imply Doing Things Differently and we can’t have that now can we?


Maybe the rest of the world should just rename it LoserLand.


There’s already worse conspiracy theories: let the economy crash and blame it on rogue AI to get the government out of debt while the rich move the assets somewhere else. A bailout is just the beginning.


They’re lucky they weren’t eviscerated
That’s a weird way to write Reagan and Bush
WIndow screens and a mosquito net over the bed. The one mosquite that is in the house can’t buzz around my head either.
He did try that. It cost him votes and never brought it up again. As long as voters lost because of disease is lower than voters lost by vaccine scare he doesn’t care that much.
That was expected. It was the only use for AI right now that might be profitable.
