The problem is that cable providers have only gone from "I am the only service in town so I will charge through the nose for it" to "Torrents are illegal so I'm not responding to it". No company seems to be willing to be realistic about how changing times should be changing their business model and customers are very much being caught in between. Netflix was able to make some progress but really they are not the service they should be because the current broadcasters have been granted so many ways to create barriers.
But with a computer it can calculate that choice just the same way as it calculates any other choice. With a human it is not so simple. They have to think through the stress of the situation. It's like how they can't take drugs that dull their senses. The computer has taken the perfect drug for clear thinking.
But a computer will never respond to bluffing. Therefore giving it an edge because it is not human. Bluffing is about forcing a bad decision by inducing an emotional response.
Because if they don't work hard for their company, it doesn't mean they are lazy. They may volunteer for a charity in the evening and because that is what they are very passionate about, they have a natural reaction to put more energy into that.
You made me think about how much psychology there is involved in bluffing. A lot of it has to do with a flawed emotional human reaction for it to work. How do you bluff against a cold calculation? You can't. So the players are corralled into playing a pure calculation came against a computer.. How is that ever going to work out for them?
Besides, top CEOS are running companies that people work for and need a living from. It is actually kind of callous that you would put them in the same category as someone who is there purely for entertainment.
I would demand that income be income, regardless of whether it is investment income or not. Either that or these should be some way to get assistance to invest in some meaningful money making way for the commoner with little access to expendable resources. If all income has been taxed equally then all wealth comes from taxed income and there would be little need to tax wealth beyond inheritance taxes etc. We should put that on a sliding scale giving the poor a bit of a break and decide what society needs and just tax based on that. I fully realize I may be taxed more than I am today but if the scales are equal I don't care much about that either.
The scale of number 3 is vastly understated. People barely have enough extra to put aside for meager existence in retirement and still be able to afford living in society.
How come people say that we need companies to make a profit so that they are encouraged to grow and do things, and that without the profit there is a lack of motivation to enter that endeavor. Yet when the common worker has raises and bonuses taken away, and is negotiated down to the minimum rate, they are expected to work their hardest or they are considered lazy.
Well sure, I save for retirement, but last time I checked which was around 20 years ago everyone needs at least $1 million saved in order to have a decent life through retirement. It is probably even higher today. I can tell you I have been 'setting money aside' in every way possible since I was 19 years old and my savings haven't reached anywhere near that. And that is just to maintain quality of life.

Hello... Are you familiar with social media? Did you think it would bring GOOD changes upon humanity?
You have to admit, it's still better than Windows 10.
7% is a lot of money.
Either you're bluffing or you're an AI. I can't tell which.
No back when it was sold it was very much matured and had a lot of pirated content.
I believe this would fall under the category of, "what did you THINK was going to happen?"
It's not even about whether it is legal or not. It's just so easy to happen that it is almost comical to talk about legalities.

So was YouTube before it sold for 750 million.
No one can lay down $100K on a hand and not feel anything.

..or lets see AI match the skill of any given player and replicate it later.

I was just going to post exactly this. The AI was probably trained using this poker player's games.
Not true, capital gains tax is way lower. Than standard income. And I mean loopholes. Do away with loopholes.
Canada?
People freak out when I turn off the damned IM.

Very few successful CEOs working today have actually founded their companies.

For 800x the average US salary I would hope they work all the time. Heck, I would do that for 4x my salary.
