Reposted by GilaHackerJohn Scalzi @scalzi.com · 02/10/2025"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way. 40899155

Reposted by GilaHackerExistential Comics @existentialcomics.com · 27/03/2025Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice. 18095532359
