I'm not sure he gets AI very well. The people building it have always said there are risks. He bases the allegation they are lying mostly on not really understanding what he's talking about.

He does have a point that sales may slow as token maxing goes.

Under which legal system?

The money is mostly paid by companies wanting to find customers and the AI companies like OpenAi and Antropic don't provide much of that. The biggest competitor is probably Facebook who I'm not sure are really booming at the moment?

It reduces the risk if they have other investors. It's not really their core business and needs a lot of funding.

Nursing homes are a thing. It's not easy taking care of people at the end when they start falling over, needing toilet assistance and the like. Most of my elderly family had professional care at the end and it's an expensive business. I think £5k per week for my Aunt recently (now passed away).

There are lots of ways to do the tech without a $0.10 fee. I think the issue is more the websites don't ask for that, probably because $10 a month in one easy annualised payment of $120 pays better.

I'm not sure if there's an actual website that did it? I've made micropayments for other things like PAYG phones and speculating on crypto.

If you look at the forensic evidence it seems more throttled with a wire by some other person.

I criticise organised religion but have never much associated it with gothic.

Blake's first mention of mills says "Get to thy Labours at the mills" which doesn't sound very church like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Milton_a...

I looked him up and funnily enough he lived in the same area I do. The majority the churches are not gothic eg. St Pauls.

Also he lived at a time when cotton mills were booming which do look kind of dark and satanic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_mill#Remodelling_and_ex...

A lot of the wealth generation can be productive. You start a company to cure cancer or something. It succeeds and the company is worth loads on paper although you don't buy any yachts or anything. Should you be eaten?

It's one of the things I think may be cool with AI robots when they get good at those. You should be able to build all sorts of fancy things.

I was thinking more that general progress in AI may lead to competent AI lawyers doctors managers etc.

Humans chuck out a bunch of next words too. Intelligence is more if they are any good.
