Look at it from the other direction: Why do most large software vendors now require “The Cloud” for licensing instead of it being on the Device?

So, if the Local can inevitably be tampered with or bypassed (just like other parental controls which they apparently think aren’t sufficient) what really is the point? Children’s safety isn’t improving. Who’s benefiting?

Not that “The Cloud” is safer or in any way better. Just trading liability, culpability, and making enforcement more difficult to bypass. “Oops, lost your data, we’re really [not] sorry. Here’s $2, get yourself something nice. No, no, you still have to give us your data and pray it doesn’t happen again. We promise it won’t. Maybe.”

I trust you’ve volunteered for it to replace you then. It being so beneficial to society, and all.

It means less people do more work.

And then those people no longer working… do what, exactly? Fewer well-paying jobs, same number of people, increasing costs. Math not working out here.

The fact that people are being replaced means that AI actually has tremendous value for our society.

Oh, it has value. Just not for society (it could that’s the sad part). For very specific people though, yeah, value. Just got to step on all the little people along the way, like we’ve always done, eh?

Yeah, rather than volunteering its more likely you lack a basic characteristic of humanity some of like to refer to as “empathy” instead. And if – giving you the benefit of the doubt – you’re just a troll… well, my statement stands.

why we need a moderate candidate just like hillary and kamala.

Screw the “don’t rock the boat” candidates… unless they’re the only option compared to the “let’s destroy America!” candidate on the other side.

Not rocking the boat is better than setting the country on fire for no goddamn reason (if the system were burning down with a reasonable expectation we could make it better that’d be arguably different). I’m sure there are plenty that feel smugly superior for having “protested” by not voting, and I trust you don’t mind the whole “country’s on fire” thing going on (insert “this is fine” meme).

Right. They should resign. So 100% of the organization can support Israel in peace. That’ll fix everything. Good plan.

Better Plan: vote in representatives that represent you, and stop listening to those that make you feel warm and fuzzy. But, this is a harder plan. Requires the majority of voters to, you know, try.

“We didn’t start the fire. It’s always been burning since the world’s been turning…”

God: “No, yeah, that was me. I started it. Flicked over the first domino. Still watching the picture unfold. Quite the sight, wish you could see it.”

and slow rebuilding will start.

And then Democratic voters will get complacent, or get all pissy about how their pet project for change isn’t getting enough attention fast enough, and not vote the next time leading to a Republican getting back in office BECAUSE SURELY THAT WILL HELP THEIR FUCKING PRECIOUS INTERESTS. It worked out so~ well this past Fall, didn’t it? Nothing at all~ to be concerned about, worried about, uncertain about, or terrified about now.

If Democrats elect competent leaders

Pelosi and Schumer, and all their fanbois (people listening to them even when they aren’t in office), would need to go.
