/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
It’s not like we’re printing books from old school printers where they had to assemble the letters by hand on a printing plate for each page, or they need scribes to hand transcribe books with a quill. It’s all computer. There’s no reason for any book to be rare.
The text is what makes it valuable though? I guess there’s some value in, like, the actual literal physical copy too, but that has nothing to do with rarity. A bible can have historical value because of who owned it, but that’d be strange to describe as “rare” I think.
But the actual words in the book can be easily recorded and don’t actually require printing.
I don’t understand the concept of a “rare” book. Every book should be infinitely reproducible, the fact that they aren’t is a crime.
If the bandmate in front of you falls, pick up his clarinet and keep playing.
When cities can’t afford other things they usually cut them to save money.
I’m not sure Flock is the exception. Might be, though. The US is a shithole.
That’s called content moderation.
to the point their government have to regulate the shit out of it
Sounds like the system works. A problem was caused by capitalist firms doing stupid capitalist bullshit, and so the government stepped in to regulate them. What a country! Imagine if our governments would step in to regulate stupid firms doing stupid shit.
There’s a reason you’ve been trained to knee-jerk hate AI, who benefits?
The fuck does this mean? We’re being screamed at to love AI and use it for everything.
Glass is not a car. That’s a few components on a car.
Yes, some processes can be fully automated. No, we can not fully automate the assembly of a whole car. It’s still too complex.
You can just play a different game. It’s a toy. This shit doesn’t matter.
Their logic is “women are cattle that exist to breed” and so there’s literally no argument in favor of abortion you can ever make.
The only thing that ever convinces them is if a woman becomes a person to them, so perhaps a daughter or other family member, and so they’re able to justify her abortion because she’s a person. This will never be applied to a woman they don’t know.
Well of course, the problem is that the law exists to punish poor people. I’m just saying, fines could be made into something devastating.
For instance, they have to pay everything upfront or their company is sold off to pay the fine.
I dunno, a €890 trillion fine would be good too. Bankrupt their company.
Lex is also a “12th level intellect” i.e. one of the smartest people in the universe.
Porky is a dumbass that thinks he can use a chatbot to replace his workforce.
On the other hand, there’s not much normal humans could do against Zoom. They need superheroes to beat him.
Not so for porky. He’s just a guy.
It took several hundred years to make factories even reasonably safe for humans to work in, and yet still, workplace injuries are extremely common because the human form is simply bad at doing this kind of work. It’s trash.
The human form isn’t designed to work in a factory, why would you make your robots have humanoid bodies??
This is 100% management being scammed.
She’s covering for them.
A first edition has no value to me. The value comes from the words on the page, not the paper it’s printed on. I could see value in a book that was hand transcribed or something, but the fact that it was the first book out of a printing press is worthless.
I should say being signed is important, but that’s not really a rarity issue. That’s now a unique historical artifact because it was interacted with by a specific person. That’s basically the same as a bible having historical value because of who owned it.
