According to animal law adding any form of waste onto another object means you own it... You are now his property

Please let him know I'll defend him pro-bono against these allegations. Everyone else became an expert in bird-law, I went a different route and became a primate paralegal
In his defense I don't see a sign saying "birds only!"
Often I go more towards fiction for fun reading but I'll look into it.
Maybe but a business man walking a sandwich shop to pick up dinner before taking the train home would not be as excited as 5 year old who was reading books about dinosaurs...
True just like we can't go back to the time before the internet. Some companies have a good business which happen to use Ai, they will likely be fine. Some companies only exist because they claim Ai and survive on vc money, they will likely die.
There are uses of Ai. There are smart uses of Ai. There are incredibly stupid uses of Ai. There are some uses of Ai that are stupid now but will be industry standards in 30 years (think Netflix in late 90s) due to advancements in technology. If you know what companies will be which you could be a billionaire which is what people are betting on. But they are bets, no one really knows what will stick and what will burn...
Similar stuff has been around for decades. There was(maybe is?) a "search engine" called shodan which allowed you to search for devices open to certain protocols, one of which was used for security cameras and even an option to only show systems which didn't request a login. You could go on there and see literally thousands of people's homes and rooms. This was pre-2010 so atleast a decade and a half ago and no one cared.
Now atleast most camera systems require a login by default but other than that...
Ah, interesting... That completely changes how I interpreted the message. I thought it was just like "stop using social media for quick dopamine, read long form books" but it's like "stop using Twitter and learn how money actually works" type of message.
I have no idea who he is, I was just making a joke saying this was a weird viral marketing campaign. Have you read his books? If so were they good and what genre were they?
Most likely it would be a barter system. Really money is just a standard system of value given previously. Theoretically a modern world without money would be if you ran a database for a farm in exchange for say 10 chickens a week and your rent would be say 12 chickens a month. Then you go around shopping for a new apartment but get denied because the apartment complex already get paid too many chickens and are now only accepting new clients paying in potatoes. So now you have to find someone willing to exchange 12 chickens a month for 200 potatoes per month.
This was painted by David Graeber.

Something similar happened to me years ago. Our bus stop was infront of a fire station but just after a turn in the road. There were about 15 of us kids waiting for the bus. The bus comes around the corner and we all go pick up our back packs and form a line to get on the bus. I was front of line. The bus stops, puts on lights and the little stop sign on the side goes out. The doors open and I go to step on the first step and hear something. I look behind the bus and see a garbage truck doing everything it can to stop but rams into the back of the bus.
Luckily we were the first stop, no kids on board, only person was driver. The entire back of the bus crumpled but the driver was ok as well as the garbage truck driver. I heard later there driver claimed he was covering another person's route and didn't know there was a bus stop there. He came around the corner but the heavy garbage truck was just unable to stop quick enough when he saw the bus. This was I think 2001 so he wasn't on a cell or anything like that and he wasn't drunk or something.
If it was 10 seconds later I probably would be on the bus at the time and would not be alive to post this message.
