It’s crazy how interlinked black market dealings and money laundering have been to the art world. I shudder to think the amount of artists careers that were made because a couple guys needs to pay each other millions of dollars for something worthless to easily make some clean money on illicit exchanges.
I’d love to print out that shitty pixel art and wave it at the person who spent $17M on that garbage… Unfortunately I’m sure it’s someone $17M doesn’t mean much to.
You’re just an angry douche putting words in my mouth. Never said they can’t roll out automated cars. Just said they might as well work on the more practical long term solutions.
Autonomous cars are decades away from hitting any level of meaningful saturation. Might as well work on the more practical solutions…
It’s almost like more than one thing can be bad. Autonomous cars are just a shitty bandaid solution that doesn’t fix the problem.
Have you never seen the traffic jams caused by these things getting confused and not being able to figure a way out?.. the drivers there so people don’t get stuck behind them for an hour while someone from fuckyoutech comes out to fix it.
Avocados and all sorts of other pricey things look really yellow and oblong when there’s no manned registers open. I’ve never been confronted about the 4-6 bananas I buy when I used the self check. I really wonder if they can even prosecute you. You just did a bad job, guess they should fire you from your unpaid employment.
Well, the police have to do work and find the people. You can’t expect the police to actually do anything. That’s asking way to much. Ask anyone who’s ever needed the police to do their jobs (aside from beating or shooting folks who don’t pass the patented brown paper bag text of course).
$3k that’s a whole lot of hot pockets.
Using buzzwords to describe doing something people have been doing for decades or centuries is all the newer big tech companies seem to do. They’re just fancy new middlemen with a shiny interface for us to use.
Don’t point out how all their bullshit requires middlemen and accounts holding their currency to make it work. That makes it looks silly. Almost like it’s just more complicated harder to use money that people can more easily steal from you.
I’m far from pro China, but I think this is a bit of an unfair assessment. Simplest explanation is theyre trying to look out for their economy. They’ve basically been sanctioned out of high end processors. They need to make their own now.
Covid made this really hard and somewhat political. A lot of businesses stopped taking cash. Some still don’t take cash. Covid was never spread much in surfaces but I wasn’t trying to argue and look like some whack job antivax person.
The better question is, do you trust meta at all? I’m sure they have a way to read everyone’s chats and would gladly hand over yours to the government if they want it.
