If you read the article, the concern is how those disparate technologies are converging.
You get the picture. Robots—“intelligent” and not—have been killing people for decades. And the development of more advanced artificial intelligence has only increased the potential for machines to cause harm. Self-driving cars are already on American streets, and robotic “dogs” are being used by law enforcement. Computerized systems are being given the capabilities to use tools, allowing them to directly affect the physical world. Why worry about the theoretical emergence of an all-powerful, superintelligent program when more immediate problems are at our doorstep? Regulation must push companies toward safe innovation and innovation in safety. We are not there yet.
Here’s how I ate for years.
Buy lots of dry grains. Brown rice. Quinoa. Wild rice. Barley.
Buy lots of cheap proteins. Canned beans. Whatever chicken is on sale. Tofu.
Always keep potatoes and onions on hand they last a while in the pantry.
Cook the dry grain, with diced onion. Pour beans on top. Hot sauce or whatever spices. Bake potatoes and any bonus protein you want to have.
Get tired of eating this with Sriracha? Use Frank. Or curry powder.
Poor persons credit card interest pays for the points rich people can easily gain and spend.
I’d imagine the margins on many cheaper products are better than the luxury version. Disney+ comes to mind where they want people to take the cheaper ad version because it earns disney more money.
Hell, the whole point of a credit score is so that poor people pay higher interest rates, allowing for interest rates for the rich to become more competitive.
