Human-controlled mechanical dexterity of that level and much higher has been around for decades, the da Vinci Surgical System was cleared for use by the FDA in 2000. This is just some huckster tricking investors with a mechanical turk, it's exactly one notch more sophisticated than hitting somebody with a pipe and taking their Jordans.

It's a distinction without a difference.

Rather than having some control over [thing I put on the internet], I ~~now~~ have zero control at all.

Correct. Everything you post online can and will be instantly archived by data hoarders and data corporations.

That's not a good user experience.

That's the World Wide Web for you, we should have stopped at gopher.

People tend to treat them differently because "it's a musical" is used to excuse nonsense writing and bad acting. People who aren't annoying-ass theater kids don't want to watch a TV-movie-tier B movie padded out to 2 hours with a bunch of rhythmic talk-singing filler. I'm not criticizing the existence of musicals, it's just that they're the most common direct-to-dumpster form of entertainment after horror movies.

So if Tata opened a new parts warehouse in Sudan instead of India, because they want to pay workers a dollar a day, would you consider that uplifting, yes or no?

What precisely is uplifting about an American manufacturer outsourcing blue collar work instead of paying unionized American laborers?

Is this the "Zionists killed the gold standard" guy?
