Conserve thier god given right to exploit everyone and everything for thier short term benefit.

Doh, I thought it was Liechtenstein. I rember three small things from my kids geography quizes... Monaco, Vatican city, and Liechtenstein. So in my mind it had to be one of them. Lol.

Yeah, it isn't a new thing. It's just that the pundits think there are people in dark caves writing code all day with zero human contact. Hasn't been like that for a long time. Coding is the easy part of the job now for the vast majority if competent coders. Figuring out how to balance what the users want, and what the prod7ct manager tells you to do is the really hard part.

It's dead, not eradicated. It's just not what people spend all day doing like they used tp.

Yeah I never understood why ads make so much money. Seems like some kind of gift is going on.

Financially sure. But strategically I would think the gov would pay for it like they are with chip making fans.

Or we could go further and just simulate the battles so even the land is safe from war.

It does seem odd that we aren't making more drones. Given how big a roll they are playing, it seems like we wouldn't want China to have access to so many more than we do.

Yeah, that why I mean government scale. Send a million of them. If Ukraine can send them in the hundreds, the defenses will be overwhelmed. But they do need to be able to autonomously avoid humans in my opinion. Targeting is probably the hardest part right now.

I mean like on a government scale. Make them like ammunition, so they can be used to overwhelm the defenses

Selling personal data at all should just be banned. It says personal right in the name... Giving away free services with forced adds is exploitation in my opinion. The first step to solving the issue is to require everything have a paid option that gets rid of adds and doesn't sell personal data for additional profit. The hard part with that is preventing them from just setting the price unreasonably high.
