Y'ever have THAT dream? Y'know the one, where you and your Cell manage to get to the final round of Dragon's Den, and you're face to face with the five dragons... and you go *clickty-clack* with your product and it's actually just been 3D printed geegaws to camouflage for your Kalishnikovs... and you start live streaming their executions? Yeah, me neither...
Seriously. The rest of the 'sharks' understood the assignment and use the show as PR and brand promotion and will happily pick up some weird niche shit that makes them look good, but this sleezeball won't touch a thing he doesn't think will generate massive profit. And yeah I mean I get 'business needs to make money' but the rest of them seem to be doing just fine collecting special bras and weird as-seen-on-TV one off products. Cuban and Herjavec seemed to really go for the 'underdog' ones.
Sure it was. I definitely believe the story they gave investigators. Then again, I am willing to also hate his wife, she is married to a horrible person.
Correct, although it's not hard to find people who think he was driving and that she took the fall for it. It wasn't much of a fall, either. The bitch should have gone to prison.
this is celebrity jeopardy, mark kelly would sweep them in a real jeopardy game. This version is more pop culture answers with no more than two syllable questions.
If we were half as civilized as we think we are, that would be the plan. We'd be talking about labor reduction rather than job losses. "Look how many people we're freeing up to do whatever they love! Also we've solved world hunger and everyone has medical coverage!"
That would be the best possible outcome. We could actually have that now, no need for AI. All we have to do is convince the greediest people on earth to share a fraction of their wealth hoard. You know the people I'm talking about right? The people who run health insurance companies that kill thousands of people a year in order to grow their fortune and leave a huge portion of the population sick and desti. Yeah, just tell them to share their money a little so everyone can be healthy and happy.
I mean, right now we still need to work. I don't want to work. If AI could do everything that needs to be done without us all living in dystopia, that would be great
We need *some people to work. 1 Farmer now does the work that used to take 1000. A crew of 10 sailors move more cargo in a trip than an entire company could move in a year. We could have been slowly moving towards Ubi since the industrial revolution started.
For now. The advancement has been extremely fast. I feel like in a few decades, a lot of jobs are eventually going to be "stand around and watch the AI robots literally never fuck up", because it makes people feel better, like TSA security theater
That depends on billionaires. My guess is that the "stand around and monitor AI" jobs won't pay much. Likely be in a company town where you get paid in scrip.
Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of the left shifted focus to just being anti-AI, which I don't think will actually work. UBI will be a tough sell, but if AI really is going to be a massive job killer, it's going to need to happen
I genuinely believe that if AI leads to widespread job displacement, and eventually it probably will, then a UBI should be implemented. Also believe that right-wingers will fight against it tooth and nail, leaving hundreds of thousands destitute and with zero recourse. So yeah, I'm anti-AI. Also dislike it being used for commercial music and art, simply because there's zero emotion/experience/soul involved with it
I think UBI will happen...long after it should. A lot of people are going to have to lose their jobs first. On the other point, the existence of AI art doesn't means humans are banned from making art of their own. If people don't have to work for a living, they might do a lot of amazing things with their free time
Realisticly this is part of the plan to make people homeless on mass. Remember they made being homeless a crime. And in america if you are a criminal and swnt to prison you are now a slave legally. They are bringing back slavery :) trump 2028 after all

Why do AI centers need so much water anyway? I'd assume its for liquid cooling but couldn't they use recycled water for that?
VodkaReindeer
Just take the water from the farmers and not from water drinkers.

Whatever you accuse him of he'll just get his wife to take the blame.

Fucking vampire.

I was saying he's a fucking Ghoul

A ghoul is just a vampire lacking commitment.

Even the other "sharks" on Shark Tank can't stand him. Guy is slime in a suit.

I’m glad the US is starting to discover what a useless sack of shit this dollar store Trump is.

He’s always been a complete fucking tool. This offer does not surprise me.

Yes, Kevin O'Leary is one of the worst out there. Also, don't let him drive a boat.

It was his wife.

Sure it was. I definitely believe the story they gave investigators. Then again, I am willing to also hate his wife, she is married to a horrible person.

Correct, although it's not hard to find people who think he was driving and that she took the fall for it. It wasn't much of a fall, either. The bitch should have gone to prison.

Yeah no doubt. Wealth and power is a heck of a drug.

On the plus side hos wife killed someone and he helped cover it up.

Why does wonderful have one L when full has 2 Ls? Although i do hate double letters with a passion, and silent letters too for that matter.

What’s worse is he gave himself that nick name.

I think that’s an exclamation mark

You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

No, Will Ferrell movies suck.

No, it's an underlined Mark

What if we all lose our jobs to AI but get UBI
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
If that ever were to happen they would pay us all poverty levels of income. We'd struggle to survive and have no way to earn more
miklkit
According to their propagandists we will lose our jobs and then be "euthanized" as excess population. Soylent Green.
Velv3tThunder
That was supposed to be the fucking point.
