Of course, like how upper management has decided unselfishly that their roles need the human touch (but heroically cut the people who actually make the sausage), we'll never see this. Funny how the best roles for automation will never see their jobs replaced.
...The system goes on-line August 4th, 2027. SuperChattyBot begins to learn at a geometric rate. Humans are removed from policy-making and wine and cheese parties. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. SCB CEO Richard Wang-Core demonstrates it to the public.
When asked: "What should we do about climate change?" It answers: "The people should turn out the rich and the powerful."
Isn't the whole idea of these high-level managers is that the company pays them to leverage their high level of insight and strategic ability to prevent being blindsided?
To quote the film Casino on an incident of management incompetence:
"If you didn't know you were being scammed, you're too f***ing dumb to keep this job, and if you did know, you were in on it. Either way, YOU'RE OUT."
Just ignore the fact that some Silicon Valley figures openly see "red team" as useful for creating their actual feudal city-states and the #2 guy on the red team ticket is a rentboy for the same.

What do you call the proposals here? Maybe some cute term like "special military operation"?

Same thing with the protectionist hysteria over Chinese cars in the US. Regulations demanding total disconnection and other "pile-ons" to protect Ford et al, may end up recreating the Toyota/Honda massacre of the 80s as they're forced to build a good car that just happens to be electric, instead of these hype-beast shonky "EVs" that spiy on you and make you watch ads in-cabin.
You know what? I'm adult enough to admit that was a low blow so I withdrew the personal attack because that was low.
It still does not erase the fact that the ideology Trump and his associates stand for is ultimately of a weak mindset, driven by the same impulses that created the Soviet Union: mediocrity for all, managed by a supreme ethnic group, unfortunately.
Sadly, more often than you'd think. At least one Union unit reported skirmishing with a black man having picked up massa's rifle. People love being complacent and miserable instead of risking it for something better. Nietzsche called it slave morality (a morality born only to define itself in opposition to the people who construct their own virtues).
As befitting my name, I can't help notice that that much juice could provide a comfortable living to a lot more people and possibly discover the next generation of great minds.
To wit: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Altman's pet algorithm than in the near certainty that people of greater talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."
Dig a ditch to the river so the rich can poison it, then the government bills you for their shitting in it and meanwhile you have to pay for your own filter so your use of the water doesn't poison it BY THE SAME PEOPLE who dump gallons of shit in it.
I keep hearing about entitlement reforms - where can I sign to get the 15 millionaires off my back?
