    You’re right, but even if everyone hates AI it’s just not possible to put the cat back in the sack and shut it down.

    Someone will want to use it or at least have the technology available.

    It should however be banned from being applied automatically. It’s such as waste of money and resources. I sure hope it’s not sentient. I’d feel sorry for it to have to carefully consider all my queries when I accidentally mistype the url for a porn site three times in a row.

    The issue with 1988 is that it isn’t intuitive what the background color is, and thus if the bar is up or down.

    The middle years are obvious because of the 3d effect. The last one is obvious because the background is the same for both the arrows and the bar.








  • It’s a bad idea because shorting requires a settlement date.

    You can’t keep a short the same way that you keep an investment. You need to predict at what time it is worth less than it is now.

    It’s also a bad idea, because you can lose more than you invest. If you buy a stock, you can only lose the purchase price of that stock. If you short it, there’s no upper limit to how much you can lose if the stock keeps rising. The people holding the stocks will do anything to keep inflating the stock price, even if it’s evident to everyone that it is a bubble. As long as they can keep throwing money at it, they can keep the price going up.

    I’m not well versed in the stock market.

    This is a good reason not to short.

    This is an even better reason not to short.
