About RetroFed
RetroFed

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

An AI can't sign a form, it can't own property, and it cannot be a landlord.

Yet. If business entities are entitled to those things, no reason AI won't be too.

It absolutely can. AI can be a decision maker for an LTD. I'm not saying it's good, or it should be this way. But there's nothing stopping it.

The article isn’t arguing that, it’s explaining how landlords are using AI tools to screen rental applicants and basing their decisions on the AI analysis of their profile.

I can spool up a bot, give it bitcoin, the bot can hire a lawyer to incorporate the LTD.

Gregor Robinson the new housing minister has said prices shouldn't fall. Trudeau said the same thing.

So why talk about any external force, our own government wants higher home prices.
