AI In

This person is viewing the outcome discussed as a good thing, and I do not agree with that. Their politics are not mine. However, I do concur that this will be the result of AI infiltrating the economy.

And it is going to cause a lot of economic devastation.

I think a lot of the libs recognize now how incredibly, wildly unpopular their doctrine of, “We must let the wild-eyed crackhead murder you, rape you, or set you on fire for equity and fairness” has been.

That said, I don’t think they want to change. It’s just being forced by circumstance. If given free choice they’d still prioritize the “right” of some gutter scum to assault or stab you at will. However, when a lot of normal people saw the evidence in front of their eyes that many idiot libs had far more empathy for Decarlos Brown than Iryna Zarutska, that started the ball rolling.

It still not enough. But evil is being beaten back a little.

That’s been a big change everywhere in my lifetime, the hidden fees and predatory up-charges that are pervasive in every industry.

Let’s use her example, ice cream. Back in the 1980s it was like a $1 for a cone. For that, you could get any kind of cone you wanted — waffle or plain — and usually a topping of some kind. No up-charge.

Now nearly everything is extra, often even with a hidden but mandatory gratuity on top of the normal tip as well as some BS “service fee.” All of this should just be banned, IMO.
