It is printing money with extra steps. The fed can sell off the bonds, and it has done it to reduce the balance sheet, but not fast enough. The last few crises though, it has been used as an option, and maybe it will happen to save the AI companies too.

Taxes should increase for the billionaires and the super rich.

    The federal debt and the US treasuries part of the fed balance sheet is how much taxes should increase. They're different things, the fed can just buy bonds and put them on its balance sheet.

    The timing of this really says it all, tell me this is a political prosecution without telling me this is a political prosecution.

    The Spark isn't a bad computer, and they haven't completely gotten rid of local GPUs, so Nvidia does somewhat care about local llms, but power corrupts and this is just more of it.

    Waymos on YouTube getting stuck in places cars shouldn't be is about as good an example that exists that these should all be ADAS features in cars with the human incharge, and that AI should also be used as a tool and not to replace humans.

    The comparison isn't fair if the human driver doesn't have similar ADAS features. But nice try Waymo.

    The business can have the choice, but not my money. The answer is buy an alternative that is DRM-free, that's the alternative a consumer does have if law isn't going to serve the consumer.

    There have been cases where labor law served businesses and not labor, and antitrust law also serving businesses instead of the consumer. Maybe some level of back and forth is normal as people learn things, but fuck that, the law is supposed work for the people with the voting rights.

    This should just be about choice, people should be able to buy physical copies if they want. Some people want the ability to resell the game, others might not. Of course, Sony wants to boost their bottom line, and that's best done through inconvenient DRM that leaves little to no recourse when things go south for the consumer.
