Usually comes down to industry energy needs.

If X goes up in price, then Y and Z will have increased demand, and end up also going up in price..

Just because you don't drink milk, doesn't mean that you'll be unaffected.

AI takes XYZ data to set N range, it never created anything new but took all and created a baseline, which is at many tasks very good.

It cannot really create anything new and never seen, which most people will never do either.

So if we push away even more onto AI, I am afraid MANY(not all) that would previously gone through the discovery path won't stumble onto their next innovation, since they simply prompted a good baseline for ABC task, because we are lazy.

Who said you need to be great in an area to tell the difference between competent and incompetent?

While it helps, it doesn't take a genius to tell the difference. Picking the great from the great apart, that'd be another story all together.

Why so extreme, most likely just AI winter for a while, then when tech and societies has caught up, the advancements begins again.

It is not like we threw away the dotcom advances, they were just put on hold for a while..

Seeing the >20% stock increase by just mentioning the "Replacing workers for AI", makes me wonder if there isn't a huge pressure from the shareholders to get on the trend no matter what. Short-term baby, rules the world.

But will be interesting how the company is in 2 years, if quality falls and innovation stalls, or if it is as you say that they hit their ceiling and is already in "maintenance mode".

Denmark was literally the US lapdog for such a long time, open to provide access and info. Denmark was the first to follow US into Iraq, while the rest of Scandinavia was much more skeptical.

Guess just bad luck with Greenland turning them the complete opposite direction, since I was certain that Denmark would be the one of the last to go against US in any way.

Might be to hinder large companies of moving fast-fashion storages into EU, so they cannot circumvent the 150EUR free import limit when it is dissolved, as that would move them into the supposed jaws of this "ban of destruction of fast-fashion" act.

This standstill mostly started happening when the capitalism took hold too deep and wide, look at Sweden and its golden age that lasted until all the restrictions on capitalism were silently removed.

While capitalism is a good model, it needs to be kept balanced, restricted..

Shareholder primacy is ruining everything, too much influence in politics from too many external sources.

Correct, what I meant was absorbing UV light, that then as you state creates D.

It's not that you forget, it's more that it gets archived.

If you moved back to a country you hadn't lived or spoken its language in for 10 years, you would find yourself that you don't have to relearn it, and it would come back quickly.

Also information is supposedly almost infinite, as with increased efficiency as you learn, it makes volume limits redundant.

You got it backwards, it would be more beneficial in areas with few hours of sun for darker skin folks, since they do not absorb as much Vitamin D as fair skin folk do.

If not for EU there would already be multiple states with privacy invasive systems seen in UK.. We are close of getting there and they keep on trying, but so far the blocking states are enough as majority.

Sure EU has some fkn horrible sides to it, such as the anonymous vote to get big stuff through when a majority should be enough as democracy depicts, but currently 2 states out of all EU states can block the big decisions...

And how would you know what they base their hiring upon? You would just get a generic automated response..

You would not be privy to their internal processes, and thusfar not be able to prove wrong doing. You would just have to hope for a new Snowden and that the found wrongdoings would actually be punished this time.
