Alright, do tell: Which subsets of the software development industry and which specific B2B tools, were "Killed" by generative AI?

It can be stopped by voters making smart decisions during elections.

Whether that happens, is up to the electorate.

Sounds to me like not so much a problem with dentistry, but with a system where medical care is seen as a business first and foremost.

Elsewhere in the world, medical care is seen more like a basic human right or service a country needs to be able to provide to its citizens.

SO the point of this is ... what exactly?

A big arrow to an interface element which ... has a label that explains what it does?

So...a label for a label?

That would be a fine argument, if anyone had proof that invasive search practices actually made peoples lifes noticeably safer.

And yet, almost every single time such practices are implemented, nothing about actual safety changes...but a whole lot about surveillance does.

There's a much simpler advice:

"Don't."

Here's the thing:

People SHOULD be allowed to put their entire lives on phones if they want to.

People SHOULD NOT have to worry about governments using that against them.

Companies increasingly no longer even care about income.

They care about what boosts investor confidence.

So even if implementing a policy lowers operative income, if the growth in stock value offsets this, aka. number-go-up == true, the policy is implemented.

Cut the EU off from ... what?

Technlogy? That would likely result in a US market crash the likes of which has never been seen before. Look at what percentage of the stock market is the magnificent 7. Now imagine what would happen to that if US tech giants were no longer allowed to sell their products/services in the EU. The market is fragile as it is with the AI bubble going on.

Trade? That cuts both ways, and the US economy and cost-of-living crisis doesn't give them lots of wriggle room.

Products? China will be all to happy to step into whatever market is thus competition-free, not to mention the impact this would have on US businesses.

Kinda like what Norway has, I'd imagine.

Eased travel and trade, but not full membership voting rights, etc. So basically, an extensive trade and economics agreement, with options to intensify relationships later on.

Good thing for both sides!
