The only way to create wealth is via work, e.g., income. It’s not a perfect measure, I concede, since wealth is static and can accumulate over time. However, I think we can still use it as a rough estimation of stolen income over time.
However, this source claims there is a 70% gap between wages and produced value. That roughly matches the number I gave.
The top 10% of households hold 67% of all wealth. If we assume that every worker produces roughly the same value, that implies ⅔ of value produced by the average worker is being taken.
Of course, 33% is not 15%, but I’d say it’s roughly in the ballpark. And in certain cases, there are definitely workers who are exploited to that level.
If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don’t think in terms of “one China policy” (like the post’s title implies) but rather in terms of “unification”, as you wrote.
The joke is that deaf people have been farting freely, thinking nobody could know they tooted. It’s the fact other people know that’s important here.
There’s no way that the first victim that comes to mind to someone who is serious about this would be ‘landlords’. This is a truly sad tyre.
ICE had a signup bonus (dunno how much, $4000, I think?), and nobody received it yet.
The guy who is ‘famous for not paying’ is Trump, who has a history of being in debt/not paying his debts off.
Honse.
I think you might have a career as an accomplished entymologist ahead of you with so much success finding bugs!
For prime numbers, since they’re quite difficult to calculate and there’s not that many of them, that’s what’s most common.
Depends on which was first, right?
It’s not really even errors. It is well-suited for what it was designed. It produced pretty good text. It’s just that we’re using it for stuff it’s not suited for. Like digging a hole with a spoon, then complaining your hands hurt.
Yes, I 100% agree with you. The ‘working less’ solution was just meant as a simple thought exercise to show that with even a relatively small change, we could eliminate this huge problem. Thus the fact that the system works in this way is not an accident.
I don’t think that AI is as disruptive as the steam engine, or the automatic loom, or the tractor. Yes, some people will lose their jobs (plenty of people have already) but the amount of work that can be done which will benefit society is near infinite. And if it weren’t, then we could all just work 5% fewer hours to make space for 5% unemployment reduction. Unemployment only exists in our current system to threaten the employed with.
Well, not how USA copyright works, but point well taken. It seems I was too naïve in my understanding of copyright.
Exactly. If I use online Photoshop or whatever, and I use the red eye removal tool, I have copyright on that picture. Same if I create a picture from scratch. Just because someone like OpenAI hosts a more complex generator doesn’t mean a whole new class of rules applies.
Whomever uses a tool, regardless of the complexity, is both responsible and benificiary of the result.
It depends what you mean by ‘security’. Obviously, by introducing more layers, you have more places where exploits can life. However, the biggest threat by orders of magnitude is being tricked into giving stuff up, and that risk will remain constant.
Non-human, uncaring machines who amass and hoard wealth beyond human comprehension honestly doesn’t sound any different than what we have now.
It’s not really “know as 過労死” in Japanese. That’s just the words for “excess”, “work”, and “death”. That’s kinda like saying “it’s known as ‘overworking to death’ in Britain”.
What if you build it on an asteroid or moon or planet. Uranus is ~-225⁰C, right?
