They impeached him

Lmfao. Swing voters didn’t give two shits about Democracy.

They voted in Trump after impeachment and they repeatedly vote Republican after citizens United.

Give your head a shake bud, this win was entirely about cost of living.

Oh yes, that worked so well last time.

Honestly, is this a sarcastic joke?

Good.

People on here arguing for impeachment are idiots given what happened last time.

I recognize that YouTuber but am ootl … What’s his deal with heat pumps?

This is actually not entirely true if you have a heat pump.

Heat pumps can be more efficient than electric / resistive heating since they just move latent heat around rather than having to create it from electricity. The heat itself is still not being wasted, but using an electric heater to heat a space will use more power than using a heat pump.

A) a single judge doesn’t, that’s why appeals courts exist.

B) no it’s fucking not.

If a judge can have the power to take a human beings life (through execution or through years of their life in prison), then they certainly can have the power to end a corporation.

Give your head a shake bud.

I generally agree with the small caveat that you can also extend punishment to the people who run the corporation and make decisions.

We do not need to end corporate liability at the boundary of the corporation.

Bud you need to go outside and give your head a shake.

Your whole argument is based on the naiive idea that everything has a clear cut nominal cost that can be easily measured.

The reality is that things like environmental destruction and abuses of labour, have costs and impacts that ripple across generations with uncountable numbers of secondary effects. When toxic waste is dumped and it causes family members to get cancer, you see huge amounts of permanent suffering and loss and waste. From the costs of treating the actual patients (of which many will die permanently and cannot be brought back with money), from all their time spent suffering, from all of their friends and family and communities time spend grieving and suffering, to the loss of their actual output and effect on their communities, to all of the environmental “remediation”, that can never actually be completed back to the way things originally were.

Not everything is reversible or fixable.

You need to grow up and stop relying on simple cost models to explain everything. Corporate fines are not tolls that are expected to be paid. They are punishments for breaking the law and are there to deter corporations from doing so.

You’ve contradicted yourself in this very comment.

First you claim that fines are just recoup the cost to society, then you claim that they’re a deterrent for bad behaviour.

Honestly, how do you not see that 0.5% of revenue and 50% of revenue, are two very different deterrents in the views of a corporation? I feel like your being willfully blind here. Corporation are run by humans who are moral actors, and regardless, they are motivated by protecting their profits, in which case maximum caps signal that they can behave however they want, as long as they can afford to pay the penalty.

You do though:

Is $64m even an investment in the context of AI components? That just feels like the price of 64GB of RAM.

This feels like a brain dead comment.

Why bother archiving anything when a computer can produce it?

Because sometimes it’s faster or cheaper to compute something and store the result then to recompute it every time. Nothing about AI changes that or is special in any way shape or form.

You should try using the Claude Opus models before confidently dismissing AI as autocomplete on steroids.

The fact is that’s it’s shockingly capable of planning and executing complex tasks. It’s still clearly not functioning the way that human intelligence does, but it is far more capable than autocomplete on steroids regurgitating the same thing.

You literally contradicted yourself in your own comment.

You claim it’s useless autocomplete, then at the end suddenly remember that it’s capable of hacking stuff.

No it’s not. I’m sorry, but everyone on Reddi / Lemmy who is all like ‘ai is horseshit and doesn’t do anything’, are fucking, sotrich-like, head in the sand, idiots.

You can be anti-AI for the economic reason, or you can be anit-AI because you think it doesn’t work, and the latter camp are blind morons.

They haven’t defrauded you of shit.

First of all, diluting your stocks is not fraud. At end of story there.

Second of all, those institutional investors will just put that money into a different more valuable company, driving down metas stock price.

This is literally horseshit logic that would lead you to think that any company, once they hit a certain size cannot be let to fail or suffer, just because they’re now part of an index fund. Thats absolute horseshit.

Lol so now we care about Meta shareholders?

I don’t really see how on the one hand you can be yelling Fuck Meta, then on the other be complaining about how Zuck is taking money from the owners of Meta and giving it to California in the form of tax money.
