Making pizzas in slave-like conditions

It's obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have "good AI" like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn't make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn't a product because it isn't something that belongs to them. So they sell people's information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn't make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI "for evil", as you put it.

So in the end it's about "making money" with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you'll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I'm lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I'll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show's about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

I've been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight

It's so good

He knows he's right

Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what's gone wrong

Given your vast experience and that your distro quest is over -- what did you settle on?

Sincerely, Win10+Kubuntu user

You know that's totally fair

What the fuck, I love my 7900XTX - why AMD?

You built a competitive card for $800, why focus away from the top end?

How can you reasonably enjoy Subwoofer: The Movie without the $1600 triple bass rumbler?!

I walked into a big bank ™ once looking to take out a loan.

They said: "Sorry, we don't do personal loans anymore."

I blinked for a moment and went: "You are a bank -- who doesn't do loans?"

She blinks back and says: "We do business loans, and we have mortgages but that's all online. You can download our app."

I'm like: "Yes, but I came into the bank, to take a loan, in person."

She just stood there and smiled.

I felt like I was taking crazy pills, but she told the truth. Most banks are for/about business transactions. Our personal accounts are a drop in the bucket for them. Even if they stand to make ~10% interest on a giant loan -- it sometimes doesn't pay for them to bother.

That's why capitalism will fall apart eventually -- the idea of "too big to fail" and capital concentration removes the fear from these institutions in carrying out their basic purpose as defined in their corporate charters :)

That's a hell of a vacuous argument. Would you rather get seen outside of a window or let into the store?

Nobody gives a shit about the non-voting numbers or third party ballots, if anything, their response is negative, not positive: They claim people aren't exercising their right to vote, or that someone has "spoiled the election".

Meanwhile, those aligned to parties are forming orderly queues and voting consistently.

Which strategy do you think is more effective, from a political science and historical perspective?

The final freedom is that of your own choosing:

The lack of, or a refusal for an afterlife is still a choice that will be respected in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. :3

Yeah, it's definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.

Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling -- you can't have it if you didn't have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it's almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.

Unfortunately, even with a "time machine", we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won't ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but...

Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.
