I think we are going to see a 'correction' we go down 10% or or less from recent highs and trade sideways for a while.

Most of the big guys in AI are already down more than 10% in the past week. Today isn't looking any better. Once Nvidia reports tomorrow after the bell will we see stabilization, assuming they have good news to report.

Comment Re: BNPL groceries = groceries on credit cards (Score 1) 84

There's apparently only one large American supermarket chain that DOESN'T take credit cards, WinCo.

I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.

Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...

Just remember next time you hear about unemployment going up while you eat your burger that you're not getting food poisoning because of regulations and that it has nothing to do with jobs.

Of course it does. It doesn't have to do with just one thing. Keeping the machine spinning is the reason why even heartless fucks should be interested in workers' needs being met, if they weren't idiots. But that's the problem with such people, if you're smart then you realize that you don't want to live in a world of shit.

"I'm against AI slop as much as anyone, and in general a fan of regulation, but this really is something that should be solved by the market. If people don't want AI slop, let them not buy it"

This isn't about the slop. If you're a fan of regulation, and saving jobs isn't a good enough reason for you, wait you're not actually a fan.

Comment Re:It's called Capitalism (Score 2) 60

Capitalism is about the Free Market (Free as in choice) not ruling.

False. Free Market is only one kind of Capitalism. Further, there has never actually been a free market of any significant size. It's an ideal which can only be approached, and ironically, it requires regulation to do so.

The most liberal, most feminist and atheistic people are *absolutely enamored* with this religion that seemingly is against all of what these individuals espouse.

Nice trolling. Why would an atheist be "enamored" with this religion? Or any religion? They're atheists.

As for the rest, considering Catholicism and Christianity are also religions which are seemingly against all of what "those people" espouse, is it any wonder they "hate" these religions as well.

"I think I'm deeply uncomfortable with these decisions being made by a few companies, by a few people," Amodei told Anderson Cooper in a "60 Minutes" episode that aired Sunday. "Like who elected you and Sam Altman?" asked Anderson. "No one. Honestly, no one," Amodei replied.

When you get control of the money, you get control of the means of production. That's literally what capitalism is for.
