“The negative things people are upset about already happen, so we should be fine with those things being made easier and happening more.”

I heard some statements that the “AI” justification is just on paper. Maybe partly because it’s an easy out, and/or to keep the stick bridge looking sustainable. But that it’s in reality not directly tied to any specific takeover of these individuals’ work being presently or immediately taken over, and likely not efficiently either, by software. I’m not too deep into the economy so please only regard this as speculation until you can verify.

Trying to understand this type of concept, as economics is not a super strong topic of mine, and I hear or see this type of phrasing sometimes; “creating wealth” “wealth creation”.

How do you define how someone creates wealth?

Uh, might be referencing that Eve wasn’t the first woman in the sort of Genesis story canon. Idk if many people know that, or if I’m remembering correctly.

Wow, thank you very much!

Would these work outside of Europe, say in the U.S. or Canada?

TLDR: poor education, poor medical industry/insurance system, poor economy, propaganda/misinformation, everyone has a mental limit; and unfortunately many Americans can’t differentiate between anything they’re having pushed at them/taking in.

Most of the U.S. population can’t afford regular medical care. For some who can, interactions with doctors can at times feel almost hostile (rushed through 15 minutes of a doctor hastily reading from a computer screen, visibly upset if you ask any questions, spoken to like a child), generally physically limited, and an additional financial consideration (new births reporting bills for ‘$1,000+’ for an anesthesiologist literally only leaning into the room the day after birth to ask “feeling alright?” and then leaving.

So, even outside of “anti-science” and/or “anti-vaccine” perspectives, hospitals and doctors are viewed to have a profit seeking motive, and patient interactions can sometimes be incredibly rude (see huge understaffing; partly for that profit seeking from most hospitals; and then just general ‘being an asshole’; because working in medical care doesn’t preclude someone from just being overall inconsiderate and cruel).

Therefore, some may only barely be able to afford being at the hospital for any reason, were possibly treated ‘less than kindly’ by hospital staff somewhere at least once, already have a generally poor U.S. education, living in near squalor like conditions, and are being bombarded from multiple avenues with misinformation regarding almost every aspect of reality. Then, they’re still needing to justify; to themselves and significant portions of their own society; why they deserve food, shelter, housing and any other thing at all because of some idea pushed at everyone that you’re inherently worthless and only those who “prove themselves ‘enough’” are justifying in getting or having… anything.

People are animals, they’ll shutdown and perpetuate into basic survival when overwhelmed enough. A significant amount of the U.S. population sees medical care as a luxury and a nearly illicit money hungry one at that. I fucking hate justifying this type of behavior, but it’s a reality for the growth of many perspectives here. They are cattle and they’ve internally shutdown or don’t have the time, physical resources, or education to differentiate between anything they’re having pushed at them/taking in; and (idk what generalized quantity to use here; most, some? because god damn it feels like most) it’s quite possibly rare for any random U.S. Citizen to read… at all, not even getting to the point of ‘articles online’.

So, generally, no, people in the U.S. may not treat the statements of a doctor with high regard. I try to be empathetic… but it can be really difficult when they can be such fucking assholes.

Have you heard about Tuxedo computers?

European, iirc. Default Linux focus. Possibly repairability focused (an expectation, but I don’t recall).

Looks like they have a link talking about this, and someone commented that they use a service mentioned for contactless payments.

I haven’t reviewed this myself as it’s not a concern for me.

Is ladybird even out? I saw something about it but I thought looking it up got me to something about it being set for some release this next year?
