I think this service is the future of PC gaming. Owning computers with powerful graphics cards is like owning a car or a suburban house - will be a thing of the past soon. Society has less and less resources to indulge greedy people who don't want to share. You're not using your GPU most of the time. You don't need to own it.
As a side bonus, the fewer people will have powerful GPUs at their disposal, the fewer of them will be able to secretly generate deep fakes and do other nasty things.
>So the secret conspiracy is clean energy, self-driving taxis, protected environment, and more leisure time due to increased automation?I agree. It's completely idiotic. Clearly, all those billionaire, industrialists and politicians have our best interests in mind. They simply want a better future for all. They would probably be more inclusive in their decision-making, but it's just that an average person out there is too dumb to make any important decisions.
Excellently done. I applaud your skill at rebuking all these right-wing free speech assholes. We need not discuss whether this person should have been arrested when we can much more productively discuss the fact that he is a piece of shit. Who cares if a piece of shit gets arrested? The proper fate of such pieces of shit is to suffer. I mean, suffer the proper and just consequences of their own hate. Who would want to live in a society where everyone can just post whatever hateful garbage they want?
>But if it's the governmental censorship that makes my online interactions unbearable[...], what am I gonna do?If the majority of people agree with you, you can petition and possibly elect a different government. UK is a democracy.
At its core, the augment for "free speech" is anti-democratic. Someone will control the content online. The real question is who will it be? Democratically elected government or some nutjob like Alex Jones?
Here is the thing. Most online speech is garbage and very little is going to be lost if it's regulated. The hypothetical argument that after banning tons of racist scumbags some government agency will accidentally ban the wrong website is just that - a hypothetical. I've been hearing about this hypothetical for as long as the web exists.
If you want "free speech" so much, then why aren't you on 4chan and instead post on a highly moderated website like this one? It's the pinnacle of hypocricy.
> If one’s aim is not so much discovering the truth as winning an argument at all costs, fallacy theory can provide a training in the dark arts of closing down a discussion prematurely, leaving the impression that it has been won.If you aim is to discover "the truth", maybe you shoud stay out of debates altogether and not lecture others on what to say. If you train a bunch of kids to go into brain shutdown mode when they hear some latin keywords, why exactly shouldn't I exploit that? I will exploit that, because others will exploit it for sure. You can whine about it all you want, but if my strategy works I will win the debates and contol opinions, while you will fuss over correcness in complete irrelevance.

This would be a perfect place to try Hyperloop-like solution at scale.
Stupid meat robots trying to feel good about themselves and justify centuries of self-indulgent BS. That's all this outcry is about. You're not special. You're an object just like everything else. Get the fuck over it. If a "sentient" AI is what it takes to finally prove that point and drive it home then, well, we're finally getting somewhere.
Most large companies had "social credit scores" for decades. They're called performance reviews. Nothing new here. You just had unreasonable and naïve expectations. You now know MS Teams is monitored. You are free to seek employment in companies that don't use MS Teams if you dislike this so much.
Your employer is not obliged to maintain a communication system so that you "get to know people". If you consider how much these tools cost to maintain, it's completely understandable that companies want to have 100% content control.
If you both loose your cellphone and lack social skills to ask literally anyone else to lend you theirs, then I guess you're in trouble. But it works out for the rest of us, so the cost to some rare individuals is worth the benefit to the rest of the society. I for one never lost a cell phone in my life.
1. When autonomous cars are numerous enough to pose a statistically significant issue for first responders, the lives they will save by preventing traffic accidents will absolutely outnumber the possible damage from an odd edge case like this one.
2. If you're still worried about it, perhaps the solution is to require manufacturer to make some kind of override for autonomous vehicles, then give it to first responders like fire, medics and police.
