If we could fake some kind of disasters to send them scurrying to their hidey-holes and then concrete the vault doors shut behind them the world would only improve

yesterday I got a text from the pharmacy that my meds were ready so I went there and there was a line of like 50 ppl being told that the meds were in fact not ready and the AI they were using to text customers lied to everyone and those ppl were taking it out on the pharmacists, its a literal fraud

If you don't have money and you have a closet full of clothes but can't put together an outfit yourself, why? You should have fewer clothes if you don't enjoy putting together outfits

If you have money and no taste, hire a personal assistant. These bullet points are the job description for a PA for an actor or other individual who has in demand skills that do not include "having their shit togther"

This is why rich men historically had butlers and women had maids

I honestly don't get how Tesla can brand their tech as "Full Self Driving", include a disclaimer that says it isn't actually full self driving, and somehow the estates of dead drivers don't own the company

If you didn't that you'd actually run afoul of truth in advertising laws

But apparently if you names your mix of Clorox and lye "Safe For Babies Shampoo" and include a disclaimer on the bottle that says it's not for use as a shampoo and is toxic for babies you're somehow in the clear?

It was, I think, a somewhat depressing realization for them given that they know the environmental and propaganda impacts of this shit

My kid and I watched this last night and they kept asking "what's the point of this" and the idea that anyone would want to watch AI movies made them incredulous

Then you got to the YouTube part and they realized they know people who love Instagram reels slop and would scroll short slop forever

This was literally part of the motivation behind W's giant tax cut - we were heading towards a budget surplus and the idea that we might have money to do good things had to be quashed

Swift seems to understand that her extraordinary abilities is some areas doesn't translate to her being a genius in other areas, which seems to be a rare trait among the uber wealthy

Warren Buffet also seems to surround himself with experts rather than assume that he himself is a genius polymath
