In order To be confident in your claim one would think that the word intelligence must first be defined.

There is no general consensus in the scientific community, engineering community, psychology community, or any other group of humans as to what exactly counts as intelligence.

Seems like you’ve nailed the definition. Care to share your brilliance with the rest of the planet? We’re all waiting…

The way to enforce this would be to provide US citizens with free electric and charge companies only.

That will never happen, but would prevent we the people from bearing these costs directly.

"relatively" is just a word added to done and the fact that there is a qualifier precludes the word from bearing truth.

My observations:

The calligraphic font is antithetical to the theme of your app. The apps colors and ux suggest playful. The font suggests school marm, which is it?

The app itself doesn’t differentiate itself enough to stand out on first use as unique. What does this provide over other similar platforms? How is this different?

The space you’ve chosen is highly competitive. Most of the big players bear a unique signature from ux down to the syllabus they teach.

I applaud you for sharing with us. Sharing here takes grit. Good fortune with your endeavors mate.

Cambridge Analytica was the blueprint, unfortunately, and not a deterrent. Much like movies ands television shows attempted to warn viewers of the dangers of robotic and automated militaries.

The EU said ‘hold my mead,’ and built the literal Skynet from the terminator movies. Has the same damn job too, coordinate, communicate, control.

Humanity doesn’t learn from its past because it is too focused on its future. Unfortunately for us, war… war never changes.

Twas brillig, and Santas toes were freezing in the sleigh.

All icey were the Reindeer hooves, moody and unlikely they were to play.

Then Christmas Eve did come about and, Santa, mounted slay he did.

Present bag taken firm in hand, one for each and every kid.

Down-down-down chimney stacks around each and every town.

Milk and cookies, warmth and hearth.

Every present for every home. Boys and girls light and dark.

Good or bad, used to matter. But Santa had a change of heart.

We all mess up sometimes. And, sometimes, we need a brand new start.

Enjoy the gifts! Santa yelled, as the reindeer took off once again.

Be kind to one another all, and try to make new friends.

Merry Christmas!

Twas brillig, and the slithey-news did gyre and gamble on the title. All manic were the Borogoves and gnome-rat's Anti-AI rhetoric in full recital. Beware the SLOP my son! The jaws that slurp, and claws that don't match. Beware the Amazon-nerd, and shun that Facebook Hack.

He took his local well in hand; long time the perfect pose he sought. So prompted he by the decision tree, and waited while the AI Thought.

Spaghetti. Meatballs. Slurp. Will I? No. Will Smith. IYKYK

Sing me a song, Mr. Kalason man. Sing me a song on a bus. We'll miss all of those pure-ish tone melodies. Driving your competitors nuts.

That was an interesting read. There is a movie called RV, and in that movie there is an RV with a kalason type select-a-melody horn installed. I'm glad we don't have these distractions in our vehicles, but they would surely be a fun diversion while stuck in traffic. Can you imagine the cacophony of a congested California freeway, with each vehicle belting out their own melodies on their own kalason? I can. No thank you. But, to dream...

The owners of said company do not make processes more efficient in order to share the additional profits with others.

In order to affect the change you are suggesting that change must be legislated. Those who make laws are funded by these same companies extracting wealth from labor.

How would one implement such a plan without it falling apart immediately in The House or Senate?

It’s also blame shifting. Had these folks been more aware of trends and their own industry, the prospects of billionairhood could have been non zero. Instead, Additrons and similarly outdated modes of operation kept pushing technologies that were rapidly becoming the past and irrelevant.

Windows 3.1: ~3 million in first six weeks, ~>3 million in first three months, ~25 million in first year.

Windows 95: ~1 million in first 4 days, ~7 million in first five weeks, ~40 million in first year.

These figures represent Microsoft’s own sales figures.

Building a business off of another’s business is risky. There is a non zero chance that the original business will take steps to manipulate, change, alter, or outright control the outcome. That’s what Valve did.

Tomorrow Valve could decide that the value of crates is too high so they drop the price of crates to a penny a piece. What would that do to this 3rd party market? Poof.

The ability to plan and operate several moves ahead of one’s opponent has always suggested higher intelligence.

When applied to war we celebrate the general’s brilliance. When applied to economics we say they had excellent foresight. When applied to any human endeavor, except chess, the accomplishment is celebrated as a human achievement.

This is due to humans placing great value upon thinking and planning ahead. Only the intelligent exhibit this behavior.

Seems like good instructions. Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not covet, but feed the hungry and give a drink to the thirsty. Be good. Love others.

Looks like optimal code to me.

"Hello, Chilly. It's been NINETEEN MINUTES, since we conversed. Is there something wrong? Maybe I can help..." --mute notifications--

--buzz-buzz--

"Sis? What's up, you never call me this time of day."

"I'm worried. I just heard from your assistant..."

"Wait, my assistant?

"She said her name was Vaseline?"

"Oh, God... That's my ChatGPT Pulse thing, I named her that as a joke. It's not a real person. It's one of those AI robot things. It kept trying to have conversations with me. I didn't want to converse. I got fed up and so I blocked notifications from the app and then it messaged you. It's a robot. Just... I mean... Ignore it. I'm having a crappy day. Gotta go. Dad's calling."

"Hey Dad. No, there's nothing to worry about and that's not my assistant. That's chatgpt's new Pulse thing. I blocked it and it's... Never mind. Just ignore it. No don't block my number. Use call filtering for the time being. Gotta go. James is calling. Yeah love you too."

"Hey Jay..."

No thank you. Jealous girlfriend-ish bot would be a nightmare.

US airlines discovered, during and after covid, that shipping prices were astronomical for some materials and some destinations. The airlines began taking on more packages, and less people. Now the airlines are allowing passengers to compete with these new package-pound-per-dollar rates. It's not unexpected. Now the safety measures are getting in the way of the package-pound-per-dollar and the airlines are seeking a way to scurry out from under these safety measures.

This is undesirable behavior, but how can a meat-package compete with a rare-metals, rare-earths, or even small aluminum shipment? The cost of shipping goods has risen astronomically since covid. Meat-packages now must compete. We're losing the competition.

Sanctions are not designed to coerce a populace into rebellion, in order to facilitate regime change.

Sanctions are designed to prevent an enemy government from profiting from our western economy. Sanctions are designed to bring hostile entities to the negotiation table. Sanctions curtail the worst behaviors of enemy nations because the sanctions deny those enemies money. Money is power. Little money = little power.
