Sounds like Twitter

Here is an article discussing how Texas is a leader in wind and solar, and how lawmakers invested in coal, gas, and oil are trying to make renewables more difficult to get, make, or add to the system for their own financial benefit.

You can’t deny that there are shitty lawmakers trying to hold back forward motion for their own financial benefit and that many of the ones in Texas for this situation are Republican.

Google is a dangerous, evil company but it's seems like you don't know what they are doing. Google has been leading the ai space since years and is publishing a lot of their work for free for example Tensorflow

Actual Texan here. Cities like Houston are trying to go 100% renewable with their energy consumption (investing in solar farms, and or purchasing only renewable energy for city buildings, parks, projects, etc.)

At the state level you’re unlikely to see a similar approach adopted because there’s entirely too much O&G money with too much influence in that arena.

But you also won’t see much interference because that would be telling Texas landowners what they can and can’t build on their massive ranches in West Texas. Out in the Permian Basin, where there’s nothing but miles and miles of miles and miles. The area is hot, dry, flat, and sees the sun more often than most other places on earth. It’s ripe for wind and solar. And as the oil out there dries up, that barren land will be used for something.

Then why are you so invested in responding?

Those are older ideas from google's prime when it was really company of innovation. I do not deny relevance of these.

What I am saying is they ran out of new and their own ideas. When there is new trend, google wants to hop in and make just something average and then it dies in 3-5 years.

It's like google is in midlife crysis..

This article is misleading. The layoffs were planned before the 27 employees filed to unionized. Out of the 27 employees, only one got fired. The rest were not even trying to unionize, it was due to poor performance reviews.

Read more about it, because this misinforming articles are disgusting.

Hey let’s not sully the good name of pigs by comparing them to a creature like elon

ah yes the both sides are the same argument. you dressed it up more convincingly than the usual suspects do tho so kudos for that.

edit: simplified my comment

It’s at this point that the old saw about “temporarily-embarrassed millionaires” usually comes out, in that these people don’t want to be subject to the same regulation when they get rich.

But, I just think people don’t know what benefits unions brought to their parents and grandparents. If they’re like me, they’ve lived through the era of corrupt unions, and think they’re just schemes to make a select few rich. They don’t see that, done on the up-and-up, a union can make a world of difference in pay and working conditions. I’ve come to see it through my partner, whose life became much better doing union work.

That energy doesn't make it to the city. Lots of it gets dumped because they can't use it all out west.

That might apply to a McDonald's worker, but not here. They only had jobs in the first place because of AI. It's abusive because they knew their jobs were temporary, and they're using a unionization attempt to artificially extend them.

Putting them in other jobs would be a good idea, but these are pretty low-talent jobs. Look at an image on a computer, tell the computer what it is, next image. Google has been using us to tag images through captchas for years.

You think there's some sort of large shared skybox between all the billionaires? Like you don't understand that these are individual suites with an entrance and security that you would need to be invited to?

It honestly reads like you think that musk just strolled in there because it was the path of least resistance.

Hey set whatever guidelines you want but once there’s an AI arms race and the enemy’s AI starts programming itself which means the only way to keep up is to let your AI program itself well….good luck keeping a lid on it.

I don’t imagine AI ever actively exterminating us but completely automated supply lines and factories are ever built, I’d worry that even a non sentient AI could set goals that didn’t include us, and doggedly take enough resources for its own purposes that we just starve, fall on each other and fade away.

Unlike humans an AI could leverage the resources of the entire planet toward a single goal with no economics or political bs to get in the way.

I think you just made it into a few lists

The AI hated it such much, it changed its own name to Brad.

Most of those online supporters are bots and the ruling class and their sycophants. I don’t think the majority does but they aren’t as vocal online.

Actually, I did recently comment on that reddit post. I'll find what I said, just for special little you.

Edit:

>My first thought was that he is isolated from liberal figureheads because they don't want to be seen with him since he is hot in the media right now, and then he is also extremely wealthy so that is going to mean he ends up in a certain area with a certain VIP status. The only people he could interact with are probably these types. I don't think him and Murdoch go golfing or have late night chats. But who knows.

The beatings will continue until moral improves.

I said "Tesla" and not Elon intentionally. If he's got enough bandwidth to be the CEO of several companies, he's not really involved in any of them. Plus his current shiny thing is getting more people on Twitter to see his posts.

I'm sure you have a tighty little perfect explanation for why musk was hanging out with Rupert Murdoch at the super bowl too?

Totally innocent! totally out of context! it's all of YOU who are mistaken!!!
