There’s a short story called Manna about this very concept.
Tldr: America goes with the cheapest possible option that isn’t outright murder, have the robots build a big concentration camp for the poors (ie everyone who didn’t have enough to buy their own robots) and keep them out of sight. Technically it’s a sort of universal social care, just not the kind you’d want.
I have just invented a radical new form of free speech, I’ll call it pure free speech.
In pure free speech, you’re free to say anything to anyone without having any consequences whatsoever.
This is achieved by everyone agreeing to not respond to speech in any way.
Someone shouts fire in a cinema? that’s fine, it’s their choice, nobody listen.
Somebody asked you for the time? That’s fine, it’s their choice, don’t respond in any way.
Whilst I don’t really disagree with the other answers, I think it’s unfair for nobody to give the pro-singularity argument, so here it is.
We have reason to think that humans are a minimum viable general intelligence, like we evolved just enough to cross that rubicon, then evolution stopped mattering much because we started developing faster than it could keep up, and the difference between first proper intelligence and us is basically minor fiddling from an evolutionary perspective.
meanwhile our brains are a complicated mess that we barely understand and can’t improve upon. Or at least we’re not smart enough to improve it atm.
An agi will probably have a much more iterable brain (if nothing else they’ll be able to change some settings and see what happens, which we can’t really do either ethically or quickly.
Finally, it doesn’t really make sense to talk about an agi of human intelligence, because our intelligence is defined by some rather ridiculous limitations that no agi will ever have, so the first “human level” agi will be vastly better than us at some things (hell, even before LLMs computers were superhuman at lots of stuff).
Combine all that together, and you can imagine a scenario where the first proper agi is also so much better at designing agi than we are that it very quickly rebuilds itself into something even more beyond us. End result is it surpasses us faster than we can react, I think the name is meant to evoke the concept that there’s no way to see past the event horizon, once we’ve built it everything is different in ways we cannot predict.
As I said, I don’t actually think this is likely, but you deserved a nuanced answer not just everyone joking about it.
And ofc it still makes sense if you take the “jungle” to be a metaphor for nature in general with its complex webs of interaction and predation.
You sir are making no sense whatsoever. JFK could not have fit all those panties in his hat.
Also everyone knows he assassinated himself, So he knew exactly when it was going to happen
Yeah. Worries me too. Maybe a more stable option would be to grow gog galaxy and other “opinionated” launchers so there’s competition but nobody is trying to burn the market down to earn a few more pennies…
They can be bad and that absolutely could happen, but I think steam is a rare example of a customer benefiting monopoly right now. Monopolies make the market less efficient and right now the most efficient market for computer games is enshitification galore, but valve is sitting in the way of that, manipulating the market and making games be less economically productive (by forcing them to be more pleasant for customers).
If we had 20 equally viable launchers/stores, it’d be a race to the bottom on price, which would force them all to enshittify or die
Daughter: wtf dad you ruined my sting operation, it took me months to find that arsehole and get all his passwords
All because Reagan felt their power trip was more important than maintaining safety in a system entirely dependent on maintaining safety.
The EFF… loves censorship?
You can complain they aren’t doing enough I guess, but you might as well say a pet shelter loves murdering puppies because they can’t save them all or a environmentalist loves emitting co2 because they support an economically viable plan for net zero.
Or more often now, Y/Pay
Who says it didn’t, perhaps all they needed was objective proof that they’re worthy, and the genie has now provided it.
The greatest wizards don’t even need magic.

They can probably use heuristics to keep the 0.1% most interesting traffic (eg traffic that flows towards servers that isn’t too large, that’d catch everything you send to your bank without breaking the budget to store)
By your definition Picasso “watermarked” his paintings, and so does every artist.
Signing your work has been tradition for centuries, if not longer, and is a right earned by the author of any work. The fact that online content uses links instead of signatures is a reasonable modernisation of an ancient right.
Do you rage when the credits roll on a movie? When the artist’s name is written on an album? When people call it “ Michelangelo’s David”?
Yeah, the cat isn’t a legal piece, well spotted
And the only setting that will look the same across hardware and driver versions is dlss off, which I think was their point, what is yours?
We’re always going to have a system that optimises (aka is greedy), it’s just a practical necessity. The issue is what gets optimised. The utopian solution is not to eliminate greed but to make incentives that lets people be greedy for maximum overall happiness (ie make sure people get paid the most when everyone is happiest with the outcome and the environment is minimally affected, etc).

This is ours from last year
I think that’s a traditional part of anti-monopoly laws, shame nobody enforces those anymore
