it’s gimmicky bullshit that lets people feel like they’re living in ~the future~ which Bezos pushes so he can harvest your conversations for marketing data

In the 1800s, when mining businesses would go under, they'd just leave their room-and-pillar mines intact because gently caress everybody else, they're bankrupt, and then some years later, a Denny's collapses into a sinkhole. Someday there's going to be an oil spill bigger than Deepwater Horizons, and unlike BP being around to pay damages, the company's just going to go under, and because Democrats decided not to do anything in 2010 or anything since, there'd be nothing stopping that. As long as oil is around as an energy source, the companies should be paying sufficient cleanup insurance, but they're not

The canonical example I remember growing up is lasers, but now lasers are pretty useful and thus not exciting. Voice assistance I can see being useful for a lot of industrial and medical work, and its probably being used that way already. Other than that it seems like it's just cop surveillance that you pay for.

Tulip posted:The canonical example I remember growing up is lasers, but now lasers are pretty useful and thus not exciting. a lot of the places where voice input might be useful it's also a liability without specialized command-keywords that don't overlap with any language. like imagine you're trying to paint some happy little trees only to get a forest of threes instead. or if an anesthesiologist brainfarts and says the wrong word and the patient wakes up to find they've been euthanized by mistake. another good example of Wondertech Solutions To Problems That Never Existed is wearable devices for seamless geolocated augmented-reality crap, like googlegoggles or whatnot.

Colonel Cancer posted:Now that's malpractice if I ever seen it. Ha! I live in Texas. Our tort reform laws were so successful that you basically can't get a lawyer to take a medical malpractice suit for any reason, because damages are capped so low as to make it not worth the time and expense of building and pursuing case against a corporate hospital conglomerate with a hive of lawyers and infinite money. Meanwhile the cost of malpractice insurance and healthcare here have continued to rise as much or more as the rest of the US, when that was the whole justification for tort reform in the first place. In short: we got hosed, and these assholes still claim it was a great success that other states should follow to improve their health care systems.

You could unironically fill a book on many topics just by copy and pasting effortposts. Sell it to redditors for millions. (All my posts are trademarked, don't even try)
