Not necessarily Big Tech's AI, but "a program" that can automate this part of the PR process. I'm not interested in a program that gives pointless or bad suggestions. I'm interested in a program that can spot pattern X which I always say "this is bad because Y" and print that for me. If it were easy to write a classic program to do this, I would have written it. If that's easy with LLMs, I'd train my local Qwen or whatever to do it. Not a faceless corpo that runs this on gas turbines, poisoning people around them and lying to me abt how much it costs me.

It's also probably possible to teach an agent this opinion to help review.

They're already enforcing it. PRs are reviewed and bad ones are rejected all the time.

True but they can't escape the coming inflation wave. As fossil fuel supply thru the strait decreases, intl buyers would seek to buy from other sources, bidding up prices everywhere. That includes American producers who'd gladly export instead of feeding the domestic demand. This could change if the US gov't decides to move away from free markets and imoses export and price controls.

If they're unable to reopen the strait, perhaps they can force Trump to halt attacking Iran by stopping their own fossil fuel production. Something oil embargo.

LOL, like we took control after the DotCom crash or The Great Recession, or the pandemic.
We can only hope to gain control by organizing and exercizing our labour power. Economically and by extension in AI. Until then, the political class would keep serving whoever holds capital at the moment, bail them out with our surplus and pretend to regulate them.

Yet another example that the firms that actually make the things are the ones that matter in the long run.
Apparently Picea makes Roomba, Shark, Anker (Eufy). Maybe also some Dyson.

Yes. The way things ate going, at some point it may become less harmful and easier to deal with unwanted Chinese tech than American. Pay much lower profit margins as a bonus.

Yes and my point is that even if the corpo pays, which it absolutely should, that’s not the end of the economic effect when that resource is used to the limit at the moment. We will end up paying too.

The demand for construction workers? If so, it could, if there’s enough unemployment. Otherwise workers from some other industry would shift. Creating a shortage there. Switching industries is a more difficult process though. But if there’s already a labour shortage in the construction industry, then that answers the question. There isn’t enough unemployment or shifting from other industries to fill the demand.

When unemployment is low in the construction sector, we can’t have them pay. When they pay, they’ll outbid for workers who were previously building homes and public infrastructure. We’d either have to outbid cloud for these workers, or we’d pay by having higher housing prices and crumbling infrastructure, which incurs other social costs. Real resources are finite.

If you look at the history of capitalism you could observe the stage where capitalism does put profits into R&D is temporary. Eventually capitalists reach enough power that lets them generate profts without significant reinvestment and instead spend them on luxury goods. Happened in the late 19th/early 20th century. It’s happening now as well. In-between that there was a massive state intervention that took significant economic power from capitalist class and put it into the state. The period when capitalism worked well for the majority was a deviation from the mean. Relevant. Th

Good vid bur he’s falling a bit for the corporate propaganda that costs determine prices and that consumers have some power over price setting. Most firms maximize prices while minimizing costs. Consumers have especially little market power in a consolidated market like home appliances.
