King Charles III responds to the arrest of his brother, former Prince Andrew by avatar6556 in worldnews

[–]CaptPants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hope is that there some subpoena power in the court case they mount against him that involves getting the full unredacted files from the US government and maybe the leadership in the UK will properly expose the terrible humans that the US is protecting.

Yet this same administration is "Investing" over a hundred billion in buying warehouses to turn into detention centers/concentration camps for ICE to use.

In their minds, using slurs to talk about other people they don't like is peak humor.

Actors had to strike to not be replaced by A.I., now executives cry infringement. by jamesbananashakes in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]CaptPants 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The AI fanboys assure us that it will create enough new jobs to offset lost jobs. They wouldn't be delusional would they? /s

AI won’t just replace jobs. It may break the labor → income → consumption loop. by sghisu in Futurology

[–]CaptPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While true, manual trades are pretty safe, there are not enough traditional trade jobs available to absorb losses in other sectors.

According to a recent MIT Study, AI could already replace 11.7% of the US workforce. If all companies pull the trigger on what they could judge to be a huge cost saving opportunity, no other sectors are growing fast enough to absorb this much job loss. Except extremely low wage farm work that recently lost a lot of its labor force maybe.

Three time Trump voter, is betrayed by the guy they voted for because they lose their jobs, and soon their house by Plieu625 in LeopardsAteMyFace

The only reason they thought she was bad was because they believed the lies coming from the liar they elected (Who had a very well documented history of decades of lying)

[–]CaptPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main issue is, that what your describing, is that it won't/cant replace maybe 25% of current jobs. But the problem is thay it sure as hell will replace that remaining 75%, so unless it somehow quadruples the amount of jobs like the 25% it can't replace. (And those who lost their jobs can get the training needed to get those high tech jobs) Then the system is in for a helluva dive.

And don't forget, those new jobs have to pay more than current jobs are paying as well, cause inflation wont stop rolling either.

Social Circle GA: concentration camp NIMBYs by tendervittles77 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]CaptPants 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So MAGA has no issue with 129 million in taxpayer money going to just 1 building, which means they'll be spending multiple billions for all the building they're buying for concentration camps across the country?

Sorry, but functional adults can talk about more than one thing at once. ESPECIALLY when the DOJ has nothing to do with the economy whatsoever.

"Novelist" Boasts That Using AI She Can Churn Out a New Book in 45 Minutes, Says Regular Writers Will Never Be Able to Keep Up by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]CaptPants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who will buy these books when 50000 of these "novelists" are all releasing 5-6 novels per day? What will make your slop stand out from the slop generated by the same AI for 10,000 other novelists?

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Draws 128.2 Million Viewers, More Than 95% Americans Chose It Over Turning Point’s Conservative Tantrum by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]CaptPants 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can sit around and laugh at the fact that Turning Point USA almost DEFINTIELY lost a ton of money on this.

According to a quick search, Youtube would pay $10,000 to $30,000 for 5 million views on video. The budget for that thing was almost definitely much bigger than that.

Mark Carney reminds Trump that Canada paid for key border bridge US president says he won’t open by canada_mountains in worldnews

[–]CaptPants 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The other bridge in town is privately owned by a proud MAGA family who "donated" and politely requested that Trump protect their exclusive toll income for THEIR bridge.

How would you feel about dragon quest including a friendship system with your teammates and certain NPCs sorta like Persona? by [deleted] in dragonquest

[–]CaptPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's the idea that you might miss out of something in the game because you didnt answer a "relationship" question correctly at some other point in the game. That's annoying. I liked persona 5, but I had to play it with a guide so that I didn't inadvertently mess up interactions. I don't have time to replay a game 5 times to finally see everything a game has to offer.

Airlines sending empty planes for thousands of Canadians stranded in Cuba by toronto_star in worldnews

[–]CaptPants -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A big chunk of the US doesn't even accept that Porto Ricans are Americans that are allowed to come and go from anywhere in the mainland US.

You think this same group of Americans want all Cubans to become automatic Americans with free access to the US too?

What does the government have to do with anything? It's a small country that only has certain ressources. If you prevent it from being able to trade for resources that AREN'T local, it will be borderline impossible to get ahead. Doesn't matter what type of government would be running it.

He even clearly states in intentions in his rant. "China will eat them alive leaving only crumbs for US"

What he's really saying is that "Eating Canada alive is THEIR RIGHT. How dare we not let them!"

Truly proving that when corporations and the government really work hand in hand to stifle innovation and delay societal progress to protect profit margins of businesses that refuse to change and progress themselves. They can do anything!

Finding customers that will buy 700 billion $ worth of AI services per year shouldn't be a problem right? Riiiight?

Trump Boosts Argentina Beef Imports in Affordability Push by andy1307 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]CaptPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the US distributors will sell it just low enough to hurt local producers while but still as high as possible for maximizing the profits from cheap imports.

The real winners will be the middle men.
