If insurance companies are for profit then they are incentivized to deny coverage. This fucking sucks.

Is it fair to say that they can just compete in the men's division?

There was a case where someone's finger prints matched someone who was later found to have an alibi and not be there.

So even finger prints are unreliable.

How was she saved by her bank records when they already arrested her like she was proven to have done it? How little evidence do cops need to go arrest a woman 1,200 miles away and fuck up her life? And then not even apologize for it? That's fucked up.

Yup, that's why stock prices increase in value when companies announce massive layoffs because they know their operating costs got much lower.

And software engineers and IT staff are notoriously expensive, so hearing about a way to get rid of them would excite any investor.

> It will make very little difference in the end.

I feel like there will be a difference between a handful of large corporations owning a majority of properties vs thousands of dentists and software engineers. Are you saying that all of these property owners are also soulless profit-optimizers?

I remember watching some video of tenants being priced out of their rental apartments so when they tried to contact the property owner, they found layers upon layers of managers and companies. It just seems better when there are more thousands of owners than just a handful of corporations.

Regardless of the pay, I just can't imagine people really being excited to drive all day alone. I hate driving and I do it as little as possible. People like to be around other people when they work too.

This reminds me of how ATMs created more banking jobs because people started to use the bank more along with ATMs. ATMs handled the simple transactions and tellers dealt with the more complex tasks.

We'll see. There will be a loss of little industries that depended on truckers though, like truck stops and inns.

I also hope that this results in more jobs that are fulfilling.

AI is causing the unemployment or big tech is still downsizing after the influx of hiring done during and after the pandemic?

It's okay when large corporations download cars. But when you do it, you'll be in trouble.

People who use AI to make music don't like making music.

He lead a mob of his audience to threaten families that just had a child in their family murdered based on lies. There's no price on how horrible that is. Argue all you want, it went through a long process to get to that number so good luck with that.

Project Linda looks pretty cool and relatively practical since it lets you keep everything in one device. I have a PC, laptop, and mobile phone. This might bring it my devices to two.

Phones are getting so powerful that it seems like the logical next step.
