Assuming we get AGI, AI will be able to all work one day. Cheaper than humans too.

Maybe I'm missing something, when I try to interact with Mastodon from futurology.today there's zero ability to interact. It seems to give the option to send DMs, but when I test it, they never arrive.

That's definitely been a trend in human history, but I suspect a better model to predict this will be international aviation. Everyone is forced to use common international standards for safety reasons.

Since they are US banks, they would just move the financing to the US

No, they are in Ireland because the EU requires some of their operations to physically be located in the EU, to have access to the EU single market.

Ireland needs to tackle this by getting EU-wide consensus. It already has tough climate requirements for domestic banks, these banks are foreign subsidiaries (mostly American) based in Dublin to be in the EU. If just one EU country gets tough on them, they'll move to another. This action needs to be tied to their access to Europe & done at the EU-level.

The Lemmy dev does not want Mastodon to be integrated into Lemmy.

Something tells me this isn't the last word on the issue. If the fediverse concept is to succeed, then its two (current) largest players need to have some cross-functionality.

Perhaps the fediverse will get big enough that third-party developers will step in to fix this. Twitter & Reddit both benefitted hugely from the extra functionality third-party developers enhanced both platforms with.

Its anathema to the whole concept of the fediverse that one person - a lemmy dev - gets to decide something so important.

I wonder why Mastodon.world has done so comparatively poorly. I also wonder if Mastodon could be more integrated with Lemmy would that improve things. As awful as twitter is these days, the way it embeds so easily into other content, which lets you click straight to its comments is invaluable. No doubt its on Elon's list of things to ruin, and he'll get around to it eventually.

They make that point in the article, and say the distinction is that unlike chess, or Alpha Go, this involved a real world 3D environment.

Good to see you here! It's mostly other fediverse people so far, not so many reddit migrants yet.

Will Russia ever sell it natural gas to Europe again? The longer the war and sanctions go on, the more I doubt it.

They say on their website the plan is to recycle it. Obviously the long term plan has to involve switching to biodegradable plastics, and alternatives to plastics.

I've noticed a lot of people against AI art where their anxiety seems to be driven by job loss fears. Those fears are real, but ultimately the remedy is going ot need to be something like UBI. Copyright doesn't seem like the right mechanism to fix this problem.
