Are you aware that there’s more to the court system than juries? And that those juries, too, operate under a strict set of rules about what they can and can’t rule on?

If you’re not investing anything in anything then this really isn’t your problem.

The companies that continue with human staff where others are replacing theirs, for example. Outsourcers providing those staff.

No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.

Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?

Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?

But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.

If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.

Depends entirely on the circumstances of where it does end up being built. I’m not sure what “gotcha” you think you’re making here? That Reddit comment is just me pointing out that when a business uses electricity they pay for it.

So it’ll be built somewhere else. Data moves around quite easily.

That’s not how bankruptcy works. The investors don’t get their money back.

The original comment that this subthread descends from was about the profitability of AI companies.

And the type of RAM and “GPU”'s being manufactured are not ones that normal consumers will use.

They’re using the same foundries that would make those things. I’m not saying that there’ll be a flood of “used” equipment (though there would indeed be some of that too, other companies could set up data centers much more cheaply), I’m saying that the foundries will switch back to consumer products.

The stock is worth a lot because it can be sold for a lot. If the manufacturers don’t think the AI companies will stick around they should be selling the stock they’re receiving from them. It’s money either way. What do you think they’re doing with that money?

People have different opinions.

You literally just said you held both.

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Where’s this infinite well of investment money coming from? “Economic magic” is pretty vague.

Which is pouring money into the manufacturers of those things. If you’re convinced the AI companies are going to collapse then just wait a little and you’ll get all those things way cheaper than they were before.

Then invest in competitors, they’ve got a more flexible timeframe.

So what’s the problem? This looks self-correcting to me, if none of the AI companies are profitable then they’re going to go away. Short their stock and make a fortune.

Don’t worry, the Internet keeps telling me that AI is a useless stochastic parrot that hallucinates everything it says anyway.

One of my happy imaginings is that perhaps someday my AI simulant will be in a museum somewhere getting to chat with whatever entities descend from us to compare and contrast how things are now with how they are whenever that is.

AI is a technology being developed and deployed by millions of people and thousands of corporations, across a huge number of countries. Users can probably be counted in the hundreds of millions now. Which ones’ “end goal” is this?
