I just find it funny how many people are incredulous at the fact that people raise eyebrows at a teacher having an OnlyFans or doing porn because well how else is she supposed to make money?! What happened to bootstraps!?!?

The vast majority of people get by, and the vast majority of them are not on OF. This is not something that most people take or consider as an option. If youre a teacher, you should know that by societys standards this is not an option for you.

Then maybe societys standards are bullshit.

How would one determine if consciousness or awareness exists?

I dont think its possible. Theres no way to really know if a machine that seems sentient truly is sentient, or is just really good at appearing to be. But thats a philosophical problem more than a technological one. The same issue applies to humans; you cant really know anything else is conscious other than yourself.

Is is solipsistic in here or is it just me?

It matters because we still don't understand the mechanisms that create consciousness and can't conclusively prove whether or not a sentient AI is possible. As far as we currently know, consciousness may be exclusive to carbon based lifeforms or it may not be. I think we'll crack it one day but we're not there yet

I agree, thats why I took issue with him declaring it a definite no.

No, they really did refer to them explicitly as Bowsers children in Japanese material for SMB3 and SMW.

There's two different kinds of monopolies. Most people are familiar with the Horizontal monopoly which is what you're describing. Monopolies can also be vertical. Sometimes called vertical integration.

Think of a product. In order for you get get this product, you have to go up a flight of stairs, and you can't skip any steps. Now every time you step on a stair, you have to pay the guy who owns the part you stepped on. In a competitive market, multiple people all own different chunks of the step and you have a lot of options on where to step. They'll compete for your foot by offering the lowest price or least nails jutting out or something. A horizontal monopoly is when one dude owns an entire step. You can't avoid paying that guy.

A vertical integration is when one dude owns a chunk of every single step, and you get incentives for stepping on all of them. A real world example of this is Andrew Carnegie. He made steel, so how do you get steel?

So first you need some iron. But to get iron you need to mine it, and then transport it. That could be 3 different companies, one to own the land, one to do the mining, and one to do the transport, but Carnegie owned all three of those himself.

Then you need to repeat that process with coal, once again Carnegie owned it all.

Then you need to process both of them in a foundry which he also owned to actually make the steel, and then you need to distribute it, which, surprise surprise he also did. With each of those steps along the way representing a chunk of staircase.

Thus even though he was not the sole provider of steel, he was in a position to sell steel at a low price and still have high margins, where a guy who only owned the steel foundries couldn't because he had to spend a ton of money contracting miners and shipping and such.

When it comes to apple it's the same way and their vertical integration has expanded ever since they opened up their own chip factories. They make the chips which go into the phones they make which get the software they wrote which can only make purchases through the store they have where they get a cut from everything.

This is a good analogy, thank you

I wouldnt say almost certainly. Actually it sounds pretty unlikely based on what Ive been reading:

The bill faces a difficult road to passage in the Senate, where Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, has been noncommittal about bringing it to the floor for a vote and where some lawmakers have vowed to fight it. And even if it passes the Senate and becomes law, it is likely to face legal challenges.

Nothing is going to happen soon.

First of all, the bill hasnt passed yet. It still needs to pass the Senate, and theres no guarantee that will happen.

And even if it does pass the Senate, and doesnt get struck down by the supreme court, its more likely that TikToks parent company will sell it rather than just shrug and accept a ban.

And even if that dont sell and the ban holds VPNs exist.
