Apple is very good at “big scary warnings” that are also quite difficult to click through without knowing the correct steps to take. See also the EU alternative app stores, or running an unsigned app on macOS, or installing a device profile…
This is absolute fearmongering. Indie devs aren’t the ones releasing this always-online quadruple A garbage in the first place. They will be affected the least, since their games already would work just fine if the company ever goes belly up.
Knowledge of it being absolutely useless slop is very useful for those of us that want to avoid all this garbage. There’s nothing shallow about it, it taught me that this project is slop.
The limit to job loss is completely unrelated to AI capabilities. Rather it is social.
There is a breaking point where if enough people end up jobless it will lead to genuine bloody uprisings. I won't pretend to know where exactly that point is, but I am more than happy to state that it is before "nobody has a job anymore" is reached.
I'm sure someone is thinking that job loss needs to be gradual enough that they can get technology to the point of having killer drones ready to take out any individual instantly, before any uprising threshold is crossed. If the abundance of drones keeps rising and surveillance continues toward "total", then we are headed toward this possibility.
Who wants to uprise if it means instant death for the uprisers and everyone they care about?
And if things move gradually enough we are like frogs in boiling water. Think about how if many of the things openly happening today were to happen 50-100 years ago how much resistance there would have been.
The thing about the whole “frogs in boiling water” thing is that it doesn’t work. They’ll jump when it gets too hot.
To counter it with another idiom, consider the concept of having nothing to lose. Remember I’m not claiming it’ll be fun, easy, or anything like that. What I’m saying is that when push comes to shove and enough people genuinely have nothing to lose, it will not be pretty, and I’m not willing to bet on the rich and powerful coming out on top, regardless of how slowly and gradually they try to make it happen.
I think it’ll suck a lot for everyone, and specifically I’d be willing to put money on the rich and powerful wishing they’d had a little more empathy and foresight.
I was thinking this months ago and asked AI what would be done.
IT quickly spit out a half dozen things it expected to be issues and the counter measures that would be deployed instantly and likely proactively.
It showed me videos of things like these 24/7 drones for people detected and less lethal things like soundwaves as deterrents.
It showed me videos of cables hardening and other systems being used to prevent cutting cables and stealing electricity.
Discussed the size of the jails that will be built, an expected number of people that move into a few groups of cybercrime (and which would continue to thrive with that) -
Had numbers of number of people that will be eating mealworms for lunch, the political and cult shifts that will occur, all sorts of interesting things.
I'll be putting out a movie about all this that AI already knows and expects to happen. And this is all with currently known and in use technologies.
Millions will be leaving many cities, and direct to needy from farms systems may keep people alive. Office buildings being converted to mealworm and similar farming may happen.
I do not see the millions of people who make a living via call centers to be able to find similar paying jobs. Most of them, and the people who currently make a living supporting them (sandwich shops, cleaning, etc) - will be competing for delivery jobs, which will depress wages, and they will be competing with robots and x-tunnels, etc.
I need to get a working title for all this info I gathered and come back and edit.
> Scalpers will just do two transactions, one high one for the privilege of being able to buy the ticket, and then the sale at the listed limit.
I don’t understand this. If you can’t resell for higher than ticket price, how do they make any profit? Are you saying they’d sell the cheaper ticket for the more expensive ticket’s price? Wouldn’t price stick to the ticket, since presumably different price tiers afford different location/etc?
First transaction would be outside the channel. e.g., scalper may require high-value Venmo or Zelle transaction, then enter buyer ID / name on ticket website at listed limit.
But buying from scalpers only really works when they’ve already bought out the supply. Couldn’t people just go right to the ticket site instead of through a scalper? The only way this would work is if the scalpers got all the tickets into the temporary hold, but that would be a huge coordination problem to do that and connect with potential buyers in the 7 minute window or whatever.
This reads like you just made up a workaround without reading the proposed law or without looking at the reality of the situation in other countries that it has been implemented. Your suggested workaround doesn't work.
Well if AI keeps cannibalizing jobs, governments will HAVE to find a way to make UBI works. If they do not there will be deadly riots as people lose their livelihoods.
There will simply have to be a solution, whether or not it’s deemed “impossible.”
I believe the solution is fairly simple: military robots to keep the masses in check.
Just look at how utterly evil and despicable the rich and powerful have been acting over the last years. Do you really think that people who are investing in shock collars to prepare for societal breakdown scenarios would give the non-rich masses a single red dime?
If you insist on knowing, include a different url in both that goes to the same place and use your damn server logs. You don’t need google analytics and whatever.
presumably you control the urls you are sending in the email. As a result if you want to use query strings that's fine. The issue only arises when you use query strings to implement tracking on someone else's site instead.
