Haha what a shit headline. But hey, why not blame it on AI? Maybe the suckers getting played won’t realize it’s just the same old PE scam.

This headline is shit. It’s just a masked type of victim blaming. What actually happened is that many town employees must have known about the SA, considering there were 14+ victims and SA doesn’t happen overnight, and they did nothing for quite some time… So the real story is that the town faces a huge tax hike because its employees decided to cover up SA.
If they’d caught the shady bastard after the first or second assault, the legal bills would have been millions of dollars less. But they didn’t, because it wasn’t a priority.
As for who knew or should have known but did nothing, we don’t know, but the town residents might want to dig into that.
You just described a situation that is not happening here. If you want to take on debt to buy a business, that might be reasonble. You, the person, BeeegScaaawyCripple, would assume the debt.
Of course PE doesn’t work that way. The borrowers themselves are at no financial risk. That’s the point, that’s the scam.
Let us note that Trump and his funders might say they’re capitalists, but like all capitalists, actually they aren’t. Actually, they hate competition, free markets, or anything that would make them compete without cheating. What they want to be are rentiers, who get money for nothing, no matter what they do.
Well yeah, if they cook the books like Private Equity always does, they can suck some profit out of it while destroying the company. And then later blame it on AI, why not? … Shit, the New York Times and the Washington Post would probably roll with that story.
You say “security” I say “a bug that won’t let me log in”. Which is it?
And of course the motto should have been, “Don’t do evil.” That would have been a respectable goal. But it wasn’t, because even back then they only wanted to be slightly better than Microsoft.
Of course they know that. It’s about power and money. After all, they already have a security program that filters out malware. If we believe their stated reasoning (which we don’t), they’re tacitly admitting that their current security program is a complete failure, and also that they will not try to fix it.
Right. That’s OK, but then why did you blindly assume OP was wrong about the basic facts?
I think it is a question of credibility. Bad actors should not be taken as truthful. Go get a second opinion, right?
Oh, the farmers thought it was a nice scam, not getting citizenship for their farmhands. Yeah, they did, didn’t they. Sigh.
Oh you would be surprised what the wealthy are hoarding. You think they don’t have !much money lying around? Really? Who told you that?
Also, growth is unsustainable. Obviously. So you need to decide when and how it levels off. Otherwise you’ll just repeat this line again ten years from now, pretending the issue hasn’t existed ever before, even though we’ve been discussing it for half a century… In the end, it’s such a boring conversation, too. The capitalists keep forgetting the inconvenient past, pretending all the problems they created are somehow surprisingly new.
I’ve used OpenShot and Kdenlive happily many times. I feel like they are straightforward to use, especially for basic editing.
I love it tho
I expect it to linger, irrelevant and forgotten, much as it is now, as usage stagnates while the admins cook the books and pretend the bots are people to trick the investors and advertising folk.
Except it’s not illegal. Get your facts straight, please.
In the US and many other countries, immigration violations are not crimes. Therefore, those immigrants are not illegal. It is actually a civil infraction, like a parking ticket… So, your question reveals hidden xenophobic bias. That alone is immoral. Is it racist in itself? Probably. It is very difficult to be xenophobic without also being racist.
Two MOOcs on Coursera.
And then rereading my old favorite books to see how the authors wrote sentences, specifically, as opposed to the plot which I already knew I liked.
You cannot be super rich and have even half a soul. It is simply impossible.
The short answer is, “because history”. Like most words, although this often feels like a non-answer.
