You’re still liable as the owner of the gun. You can sue the builder of the gun in turn of course so they go to jail too.

Use and/or for clarity. They’re probably both incompetent and malicious.

To illustrate it’s only good in stupid stuff like that and not so good for real work.

That’s the whole story from the beginning. It’s not good and trustworthy enough for the real work but they’ve poured all that money in there so it needs to be used.

Maybe they can use AI to fix it

Europa is having the discussion. You see one camp that wants to shut down exporting of waste and demand full recycling and local production. And the other group that’s basically complaining it’s more expensive again ignoring long term consequences.

With explicit technology sharing contracts. The name was a hint.

It’s ridiculous to do that so late in the game, but companies really wanted to outsource production to cheap areas in the 80s and ignore the long term consequences.

If it automatically blurs out the face and body of everybody unless they explicitly gave permission to be recorded by that user through an app or site, and on a base level before the feed goes to any app, then you can have some semblance of privacy.

Marketing: the glass is perfectly dimensioned to transport that amount of water without spilling anything! Buy yours now for a discount! Terms and conditions may apply.

… which hasn’t learned yet they’ll not get any promotion or credit for good ideas and most likely will only receive more work and pressure

Untill you want to protect consumers from something capitalists are doing. Then it’s all about not limiting innovation. In reality , innovation translates into additional fees, subscriptions, dynamic pricing and that kind of stuff.

They have the Boring company too. They can dig much deeper.

They had to choose between short term profits and being relevant by 2030. Shareholders picked the first option.

They went to some fancy private school and haven’t had contact with someone earning less than 6 digits until their thirties.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise. Unions came about to negotiate over reasonable terms for work because people started to burn down mansions of factory owners, with or without the guy’s family inside. Or just cyberpunk 2077 where chapter 1 shows all the nice tech and then some folks nuke the corporate headquarter and kidnap corporate techs. I mean that’s a serious hint.

CEO two years later: Thank you for having me on this podcast. After the stock price plunged, the board gave me choice of being sued for criminal negligence or a transfer. So I was uploaded to the Torment Nexus for on site management. Who knew this place was so terrible?

They were using sci-fi as their inspiration and the hype for selling their stuff and never bothered to also check the downsides portrayed in the same literature. It’s a classic gonk move to be expected from corpo scum.

We’re living in a time where Onion articles become normal news in an embarrassingly short time. Logic escaped the madhouse some time ago.

Because people have a well known loss aversion bias while negative news and drama sells more news.
