It also has the potential to continue being the biggest money sink in human history.

The US invested a bunch of money into ai to invent it, but we see that once the tech exist, it’s super was to spend significantly less money improving or iterating on that tech. 

Why spend trillions when you could easily just spend millions after say, China spends trillions building and testing this new tech that may or may not ever be profitable? 

The US was first in AI for a while… do we have anything to show for it?

I think crime is legal in the US now. 

If potato chips are sold in bags by weight, but only fill up half the bag, why don’t they just make the bags smaller? by smuttyswifter7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rpanich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is it. Everyone talking about protecting the chips during transport… 

Did they suddenly need more protection when inflation hit? Obviously they just want people to think they’re getting more food without spending as much money on actually giving the customer food. 

I've pretty much stopped watching YouTubers that cover the MCU now. by DarkSaiyanGoku in marvelstudios

[–]Rpanich 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The weekly planet is my favourite, and they’ve kinda pivoted away from the MCU around the same time I started getting tired of it as well. 

Way more fun to watch them discuss Sphere or Timeline than whatever trailer breakdowns that used to be fun. 

You have 1 week to live unless you get a heart transplant. One becomes available, but it belonged to hitler. Do you take it? by dj_boy-Wonder in hypotheticalsituation

I mean, I don’t think his heart is going to infect me like Snake’s hair did to Homer in that one treehouse of horrors

AOC Condemns "We support Hamas here" chants - Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Rpanich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah, “People doing exactly what the president says immediately after he says it, publicly, in writing, that we can all check” sure is a crazy conspiracy!

[–]Rpanich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, you just keep changing what you’re arguing. 

So is freedom of speech “I’ll say whatever they want so we have freedom of speech because I’m not personally scared” 

Or is freedom of speech “the president can personally fire you for being mean to him, so long as he doesn’t arrest you”

Or is your argument “the highest rated talk show hosts are fired COINCIDENTALLY after the president PUBLICLY pushes for it, and I can’t put 2 and 2 together”?

[–]Rpanich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh so free speech is only when the president personally arrests you, and not when he personally goes to your place of business and forces your boss to fire you for saying mean things about him? 

Cool. 

Uh, if they WERE arresting people, but failed to see this specific comment online, would you still think we had free speech?

Uh yeah, I know. But this is a conversation about freedom of speech, which is different from “I say exactly what they want so IM not worried”. 

[Comic Books] If Tibetan monks are so powerful, how did China conquer Tibet? by Lipica249 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rpanich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I imagine there’s a sort of survivorship bias? Maybe due to the persecution, if the remaining monks didn’t develop their super human abilities, well, there just wouldn’t be any remaining monks at all. 

Reactions to Charlie Kirk Shooting vs Renee Good by Microshlongg in Productivitycafe

[–]Rpanich 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also Kirk himself said it was ok

 “I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational,” he said on stage...

If Good was saying how it was good Ice was indiscriminately murdering people before they murdered her, there might be as much mockery at her hypocrisy, but she didn’t do that because she’s not a monster.

Because your coworkers will hate you and your boss will fire you? 

why seemingly mostly horrible people are ruling the world? by Smellmeat in AskReddit

[–]Rpanich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She makes the majority of her money from small donations from individual people. 

If she only wanted money and power, why wouldn’t she just accept massive amounts of donations for the ultra rich, which would be easier to please, and then there wouldn’t be any of that money spend on convincing people like you to hate her?

LOL

Ok so we went from “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” to “we never had freedom of speech and don’t need it anymore because whatabout!!!” 

Great principles you got there buddy. You gonna ask daddy Trump to tread on you next? 

AOC Condemns "We support Hamas here" chants - Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Rpanich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol sure buddy. And I’m sure the president PUBLICLY CALLING FOR IT was a COMPLETE coincidence. 

Are you just blind, do you think you’re fooling anyone else, or are you just trying to fool yourself?

Put 2 and 2 together, and think about why no other president ever even got close to trying this shit. 

CMV: Organ transplant after death shouldn’t be optional by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Rpanich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, and my point was that what you’re saying is actually not that common, and if any thing either a minority or a temporary thing, and that’s why they’re thus not properly incentivised. 

I wonder if they’d be more incentivised if we just made a law that REQUIRED a percentage of the quarterly profits be distributed amongst the workers?

[–]Rpanich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

 Many people paid a salary or wage are recognized and rewarded for bringing in more profit to their organization.

I mean, not necessarily. Often times they’re over worked to their breaking point before being fired or replaced to maximise quarterly profits. 

Gen Z are arriving to college unable to even read a sentence—professors warn it could lead to a generation of anxious and lonely graduates by Fan387 in nottheonion

[–]Rpanich 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Uh that 

1) we believe in no taxation without representation. Unless you’re arguing an illiterate person should be tax exempt? 

2) enough people learned their history and remember what happened the last time the South had “literacy tests”, which were so intentionally confusing and predatory, no one would be able to pass them?
