  • I used to try to explain that to people. I would try to explain to them that all the private data is used to adjust how they pay for things adjust how much they pay for things. It can adjust their ability to get a loan or how much they’re going to pay on the loan.

    In very short order, it’s going to affect whether or not they can even get a passport.

    And after a while when I say a while, I mean a number of years. I realized I was just screaming into the wind. They don’t care they don’t want to care. They have no interest in learning and when it comes back and bites them in the ass, they will make an excuse that it was something else that did it and not their own damn data.

    This is a long winded way of saying I gave up. If they’re too dumb to figure it out that’s on them. Fuck ‘em




  • The reasons why so many people hate it. Are lengthy.

    A big one is we see jobs already being eliminated. And people like to live in this fantasyland that oh there’ll be new jobs created. But anybody who has studied history, realizes that that’s not going to happen in this case.

    For example, when we switched from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles,. The people built the buggies they could be cross trained to build the vehicles. Jobs were created.

    When we switched from the mechanical typewriter to the electronic typewriter that was easy cross train. When we moved away from the electronic typewriter to a computer, there were jobs created.

    Here’s the problem that we run into. Let’s just look at accounting. Many jobs in the accounting field can be done by a properly trained AI system. Most data entry jobs can be done by AI. Many programming jobs are being handed off to AI. You were seeing this across all industries. Whereare the jobs going to be actually created at?

    There are some data entry jobs to program AI. But those are minimum wage jobs at best.

    As AI becomes better and better, they will be able to take more and more jobs.

    We are already seeing AI being used to create music. There goes a lot of musicians jobs. There a goes a lot of songwriting jobs.

    This is becoming a very large problem. Because you will still have the same number of people looking for work, but you’ll have less jobs. That means the pay for said jobs will drop drastically. Supply and demand.

    The people who truly believe there will be magically new jobs created as far as I’m concerned or absolutely delusional.

    Another big problem is it limits human interaction. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t want to talk to anybody, but here’s the reality. Humans are social creatures. As we become More and more isolated, It becomes harder for us to sympathize and empathize with other people. That makes it easier to create divisions between people. Trust me, the governments will absolutely use that to their benefit.









  • I mean this. I do truly wish you the best, but the reality is close to 50% of marriages end in divorce. With the exception of forced marriages, all of them started thinking it would last forever. Way too many divorces end with one side getting screwed. “Just be careful of who you marry” is a recipe for failure when taken it context of the above statistics. Many people are trapped in bad marriages and can’t really get a divorce without getting screwed. So that 50% number should really be higher. Every walk of life we plan for the worst and hope for the best, or at least if a person is paying attention they do. Marriage is a huge item. Plan for the worst (prenup) and hope you never need it. Either that or risk winding up as a statistic.

    If you don’t get one (and are told to get one) then get screwed and look back realizing had you gotten a prenup things wouldn’t have been as bad…. Well I’ll have a hard time finding sympathy.

    Also the half the assets sound fair. Until you realize that it’s possible to lose more then half without a prenup.
