That sounds just like an excuse to hate one more person…

Perhaps it is my bias as someone who studied AI at the university, but I never believe it when someone claims to loose job due to AI. AI never fired you, AI never managed to replace you. Your manager is just bad at making business decisions, as most managers are nowadays. Current rich world of big successful companies was built on competent managers, those people are now either dead or too old to work and their replacements will drive us back to the medieval times while pretending they know best.

There are good, valid, profitable uses for AI. They are not pushed by big companies, rather utilized by small actors who fly under radar.

No, I’m asking about changing consent retroactively.

Say I consent today, we have fun… and in a few days I get informed that I could earn some money by claiming I did not consent.

Good for you.

I am saying, that a person can consent now, and then claim no consent and sue you later. Which I hope never happens to you, but the idea is quite an useful loophole.

Yes, but what if a person decides that while they may have consented originally during the act, they benefit more from saying they have not consented later on? I’m asking about this being quite possibly a profitable endeavor.

Okay, I’m gonna bite this bait - isn’t consent something decided later? Nobody can prove they said “yes or no” later after all so usually it’s based on who we decide to trust.

So… americans turned their pensions into gambling?

And here I though I couldn’t think less of them.

My original reaction was quite similar.

Last week highly-upvoted comment on reddit claimed that environmentalism is nothing more than russian-bot fueled fad.

No idea what that is. Sounds like it belongs with WH40K

Pensions? For billionaires?

Just ban or heavily tax stocks.

Oh, billionaire just used stocks as collateral for his loan? 30% tax

Selling or buying stock? 20% tax

The last part is not an intellectual, the last part is just depression nowadays.

Every group of nerds assumes average person knows more about their obsession…

The Australian Subreddits got overrun by extremist right wing people who tend to be 20x louder than anyone else, and exaggerate everything.

I don;'t think this is just Australian issue

At this point I fully expect that as a last resort Iran will just try to damage permanently the strait.

Answer, in my opinion, is local communities.

Perhaps it’s a bit of nationalist of me, but I think we are flooded daily with unnecessary information about what happens in other countries. In my personal opinion a random person from, say, Berlin or Paris shouldn’t be bombarded daily with news about another school shooting in backwater american town. Nor should they know what happens in politics of each other nations.

A community of my town would be useless for bots, especially if it banned all politics and ads from beyond my town. Elections of president? No dice, the only elections we care about is our mayor.

I do not live in USA. I shouldn’t know about Trump as much as I do, I shouldn’t be talking daily to americans. What relationships could I form with them? We will never go together to restaurant, bar, bowling alley etc. But place where my countrymen, and americans, and french, and germans etc. are herded together is the best place for bots.

Human verification? As in “give us your photo” or something?

People are, generally speaking, mostly emotional creatures. Emotional comfort is often more important that facts.

Another example would be closing atomic plants.
