News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

“Our AI data science projections state we won’t lose money until musk really gets into white supremacy, so let’s keep those ads pumping until that happens.”
Hmm... I think you need to work "blockchain" in there somehow.
Blockchain is yesterday's buzzword, it would just take up space where you could mention AI again. AI, the future of business! Powered by AI!
The scary part though is blockchain is actually a buzzword when it comes to profiting within a business. Having an impermeable ledger that’s computationally expensive really doesn’t further profits outside of being a shitty product that can be offered.
Having an AI that can do in 5 seconds what took a set of PhD data scientists with no morals to do in 5 weeks is more frightening. (Yes I know the data scientists are the ones now training and using the AI)
Immediate pricing model to determine maximum profit every few seconds based on aggregate sales, market conditions, and demographic targeting? Check
Determining minimum viable wages and benefits to keep employee retention while continuing to grow profits? Check
Figuring out every tax and legal loophole to avoid paying taxes by going through trillions of transactions? Check
Determining “maximum cost of human life” or “maximum environmental impact” that won’t be detrimental to profits? Check
Planning product launches specifically around planned obsolescence? Check
Sabotaging competitors through social media and other means? Check
The list goes on and on, but AI is by no means a buzzword in business circles. It is a way to hyper-accelerate capitalism.
The big investors in AI don’t give a shit whether or not it makes for a good chatbot. They want a drop-in CEO that can accelerate quarterly profits per compute cycle.
I mean, one of those companies sold machines to actual Nazis to tabulate the Holocaust.
Exactly, often the moral low bar is determined by profitability. Money > morals.
