Limiting the number of homes people can own will reduce the incentives for people or real estate developers to build more. You may end up with lower supply of homes, which may drive up price.

Modern economies usually depends on economies of scale to make profits. Imagine if a law was passed to limit the number of groceries people can buy in a supermarket because the government think it'll help poor people by hoping the law will drive down price. This would probably backfire, prompting the supermarket to buy less from distributors, and sell at a higher price because now they can't count on economies of scale.

In short, I'm saying your solution is naive.

Ideal reality: Google doesn't buy advantage from browsers to make their search engine the default. This way, other search engines can compete at the same level, right?

Reality: browser developers will have their income cut down because now their main source of income is dead (see recent news on Mozilla).

Usually these kinds of policies that may or may not come up out of goodwill results in unintended consequences that negatively affect others.

The winner here are the politicians.

I'm with you on this.

In this thread are people who screams monopoly, thinking they know what it means. One comment said Google is a monopoly, followed by "along with "

They're giants because they're successful and good at what they do. They're successful because people are benefiting and find values from the products they use. The moment these giants stops "exploiting" people will be when they stop bringing values to society.

They've confused economic reality with their own ideal reality.

Maybe that isn't a problem

I remember this guy! First fallout game I played, my friend introduced it to me and let me borrow his disk for the PS3.

This is probably the first boss I've fought and in my memory it'll always be an intense battle.

It doesn't happen every time I stay sitting on the toilet for too long. But when I got visual aura or the weird hot piercing headache sensation (followed by high BP reading of 150/90), it's always after scrolling on the toilet for too long.

I'd like to go back and play the AC series. Played from the first AC to this one, and stopped because of burnt out.

Now it seems like I've been missing a lot and skipping some games to continue to the latest games feels like I won't be able to enjoy the series.

Have you tried perplexity.ai? Using it to do some programming and it's quite good so far. It's basically LLM + Search Engines.

You can also use it to use different models (not just with ChatGPT).

Sometimes even run the code itself (Python for my case) and see if it's valid.

Hole. Future. Now.

 

This obviously isn't something new that shows up overnight. We already had dating sims and the likes. But with generative AIs, the catch is that of scale and of personalization: not only it is easier to make thousands of virtual partners at a time, each individual virtual partners can be personalized to our liking.

Not even Huxley could have predicted this lol.
