Hopefully no one.
The current system is already fucked when it comes to music. We've had cases where they have successfully sued for "the general sound and feel" of a track.
With AI you could simply generate every single possible combination of notes in 8 bars and then sue every single musician on the planet.
You could easily do the same with art work.Just bang out 10s of millions of images and then sue for similar looking pieces.
Intel: So how are the subsidies coming along... Kinda be a shame if this here factory had an unfortunate accident, and was kinda late.
Goverment: Oh look what I found here. A bit of paper I found that says "All Goverment agencies, including the military, will be banned from using important computer components not made in the USA from 2025.... Would be a shame if this vague document became law."
It's odd how people praise technology for realising people from the mundane, but whine like a 2 year old when their nicely paid job gets offloaded to a bot or another country.
And yes it does help and saved millions, but it's easy to forget all those millions and millions that died due to "progress".
Disease became rampant in the cities due to poor sanitation, poor working and cramped living conditions. Millions were injured or died through industrial accidents.
Unless there is a safety net, poverty and its associated issues could become rampant.
The issue of stepping on each other is easy to explain, as I've had first hand experience (VoIP).
Network make a change. As far as they are concerned all is good push out....
Hits VoIP all hell break loose. Telecoms report issue. They spot issue and start emergency changes, get back up and running in a few minute, while networks run round like headless chickens with fingers up their arses.
Networks panic without talking to anyone and revert changes (after asking if you can ping it 3000 times).
Revert breaks telecoms fix. Telecoms revert back to old config.
Rinse and repeat.
Yes, it happened too many times to remember.
Where do I charge mine?
I park, sometimes in a small car park, sometimes in one of two laybys and often out side other people's houses.
So in our village, given 70% of the residents are in the same position... How do we charge?
For starters the grid tends to fail least 5 times a year (yes that reliable).
Street lights? 50% of the roads only have them on junctions.
Rip up every road for kerbside? We only just got fibre 3 months ago.
So maybe on the industrial estate I work?
The one were 25% of cars park in random unallocated spaces?
Ahhh but its OK everyone works from home....
Well except us, we're busy making engines.... Oh and battery housings, electric motor housings and regenerative braking components.
Nothing important.
"Chinese people are either cowards and think someone will fight CPC for them or they just like the way it is."
Tiananmen Square
You're probably niave or ignorant enough to think the massacre In the square was it.
Do some more research on how many died , disappeared or were" reducated" outside of the square. The reason it was a relatively "peaceful" massacre in the square , was the fact many were kids of the elite in power.
Just compare how many died in the US war of independence and how many troops the US (and allies) had vs the British and allies.
Now compare the number of civilians died in the massacre and how many troops were deployed
The US war of independence was a picnic in the park on a nice Sunday afternoon compated to what the Chinese population faced.
"all were full of pictures of primitive peoples around the world."
By "primative" you mean those that have happily survived and thrived, without the (mainly) white Europeans coming to "educate" them., usually by killing them off and stealing there resources?
They want "Freedom of speech"
But throw their toys out of the pram when a mosque tries to open not far from the two towers site
They cry when people choose to take down statues of slave owning "war hero's"
They complain about "woke" people expressing their views.
In other words they like freedom of speech and expression, but only when it suits THEIR agenda.
Probably. It's the same thing in Cuba (great country, great people).
The unsuccessful sanctions only really hurt the normal people. There you have highly skilled doctors and teachers working in tourist hotels as the tips are better than their wages.
When there I tipped a very modest amount (in GBP) and I suddenly became the entire staffs best friend. It turned out my tip was almost weeks salary.
As Clarkson pointed out in one top gear episode. That couple of quid you are haggling over for a suit, makes a massive difference to the persons life, so just don't.
