AI slop can be bad but this Bradley doesn’t understand that businesses exist to make money.
This is generally done by making a quality product, not a pile of shit.
You can get awry with selling people shit, if you charge shit prices. But the kind of assholes described in the article are gonna try to sell shit at AAA prices. Then they are gonna blame their team for not AIing hard enough.
Violence is almost always the solution. Civilization is an effort to find a better solution. But people who reject the systems we've built up seem to forget why we built then.
As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.
To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.
Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.
Narrator: he did not, in fact, know what the hell he was doing.
I mean, I'm not 100% opposed to some of the things he claims he's trying to accomplish. But I'm not what you'd call an expert on the topic, and I might have some bad ideas about how the economy works. But even if I'm not barking up the wrong tree, the things he's doing are not how you accomplish the things he says he wants to accomplish.
And you somehow think the Republicans political party members do not?
No, I don't. I think they mostly lie, or say whatever they think will get them what they want.
Many Americans do not desire these jobs.
Of course they don't. But they think they do, in the way I think I want to be a sailor in 1805. And weather they want them or not, they think that it would be good for other people.
That's because none of that is manufacturing. Programming, producing, inventing, yes. Manufacturing, no.
If we manufactured something, there world be jobs doing the assembly, performing random quality tests on units, packing units, operating the warehouses, shipping them to stores, plotting them on shelves. Manufacturing involves a lot of people getting paid money to do things. (The ones that aren't done by robots, anyway) Programming a new piece of software, even a wondrous one, completely skips most of those jobs, and minimizes the rest.
Understand, when they say "manufacturing," what they are talking about is decent paying jobs with steady hours, and minimal requirements. You can learn what you need in the factory, without having to go to school for 4 years.
Those jobs mostly don't exist anymore, and they mostly will not exist again. But that's what the Trump base remembers, either from their past, or from their parents. That's what Trump is promising them.
The democrats have a bad case of "mostly telling the truth," so wet can't promise them very much.
of course he ducking does. If he didn't, the court would have to try to impose some kind of penalty, and they know as well as any of us that they have no actual power to do so.
Ten gets you twenty that the man in question is already a corpse. Probably been dead since the judge ordered him returned. If it ever comes to it, it will be revealed that he died in an accident, and the courts will take a moment to wag their finger at Trump.

That's not why we built them. They got hijacked for that, and they need fixing.
They were built so we had an alternative to killing each other over disputes.
