I would say quite the opposite. Have you considered the position of the general population in your assessment?

The facts are in the PISA data collected by the OECD. If you drill down by subpopulation, the majority group in the U.S. goes toe to toe with the majority groups in Asian countries, and beats the majority groups in western european countries: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd....

National competitiveness and distributional equity don’t go hand in hand. China has made tremendous achievements by focusing investment on key provinces instead of trying to bring everyone up together.

The problem isn't technical in nature. We need a brand-new socioeconomic system that outcompete liberal democracies while reducing CO2 emissions.. We are in deep trouble.

The existing global socioeconomic systems have been able to solve other environmental commons problems before, even if this one is larger in scale.

I presume you'd agree that isn't likely? So saying "We need x infeasible thing" seems about as helpful as those pushing climate change denialism?

Will they? What kind of breakthrough do you see coming that would convince large actors to make that switch?

Sorry but Google is a multinational corporation. It makes profites and products everywhere in the world. You should probably open the eyes.

> With AI, the society will be more divided, more polarised, and less happy than before.

While I agree for less happy, I am not seeing AI chatbot been more divisive and polirised than social media in general. Am I missing something?

A personal information bubble for anyone. All deviations from reality are normalised with "hallucinations is OK for AI".

It's devisive as much as it can be.

As opposed to an information bubble with a small group of humans? It has less personalized hallucinations but more extreme and negative ones, which I think is worse. Ideally people would look at reliable sources and use critical thinking for information, but ChatGPT seems like a better conversation partner than the average Redditor of today (who's probably also a bot...but one trained on drama and negativity).

Ads are essentially a biding system. Less biders means less profit. Removing scams means losing money.

Yes but phone carriers are required by the FCC to achieve specific deployment goals. Also it isn't just about GPS data, it also include barometric data.

Sorry, looking deeper, it doesn't look optional.
