Inflation begs to differ. That much money left liquid for 60 years at 10% inflation will be worth less than 100k of today’s money.

It does, except in the US, where iMessage and other lock-in tactics help cement their stranglehold

That's not capitalism or a free market, it's corrupt governance and was never an intended 'feature'

Why call it capitalism as opposed to a free market? 'Capital' stands for money but the 'market' pressure is why these dark patterns emerge.

AGI trained like it's trained today won't have a choice.

I'd guess it's more of a "make sure our children grow up into healthy working adults, instead of more minimum wage tech addicts".

Software Developer is the most common job in Utah, it's kind of surprising this happened despite that.

Needs to be retitled.

Internet Archive has been ruled against... for acting exactly like a physical library. Offering a single copy of a book at a time for a period of borrowing. Their intent is to be a widely accessible library.

Codeburg is more strict for blocking projects at the moment. Wikiless is blocked by Codeburg for using the Wikipedia puzzle logo but is still up and unchanged on GitHub.

Frankly, people are buying the AI's escape mechanism. The fact that this tech is being wielded haphazardly for purposes it's not suited for, made into a bad search companion because it's cool, is disturbing.

It sounds so much like the scenarios where AI convinces its creators to let it out.

It's evident business leaders don't know what they're looking for in developing AI, so they've made what "seems cool", but really is manipulative and threatening. Too much talk of safety has lulled away all that very useful fear.

This is frustrating. More than once, issues with Edge not opening or not working prevented me from browsing/installing another browser. Without IE, I would have been SOL. Just now realizing there are probably baked in powershell methods like winget.
