Bullshit. US oil majors will extract all the oil wealth they can offshore and onshore, sell that oil internationally, keep the profits, pay a (small) portion in taxes and other fees, meanwhile the US will spend another 10? 20? years and fuck knows how many trillions of dollars in another endless vague undefined war while the defense contractors old and new (Google, MS, etc) get rich

Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI takes on Google, Amazon with new agentic shopping system | TechCrunchEnglish
1·4 months agoOpenAI said in a blog post that the product results it surfaces are “organic and unsponsored, ranked purely on relevance to the user,” and that it will charge merchants a “small fee” for completed purchases.
…for now. Remember the free open promise of the 1990s/2000s internet? This will get enshittified the same way, but faster. Once OpenAI corners it, I confidently promise they will jack prices wayyy up and monopolize it just like any other corpo.
Come on man, not every Republican is a mass murderer what a dumb thing to say. Like saying every Democrat is a lesbian, how fucking stupid lmao
