There are going to be some freaks of nature that can exceed the average.

For example there are people who can sleep 2 to 4 hours a night and be perfectly okay.

Now none of this is sustainable even for those freaks. Eventually they have health problems and have to stop.

But if you're a billionaire you can draw from the entire global population for your workforce and thanks to automation you need less and less workers every year.

That means you can just burn through all of your workers destroying them physically and mentally on your way to becoming a trillionaire.

Assuming the technology they're working on pans out which honestly it looks like it's going to then whoever controls it is more or less a god king or an emperor of mankind. You can basically do away with rank and file workers leaving billions of people without any place in the economy or society.

If you're thinking about that in terms of maintaining a healthy capitalist economy that's a disaster.

But if you're thinking of it like a member of the ruling elite who is disgusted by being dependent on consumers and workers it's a dream come true. It's a return to the good old days of the divine right of kings or the Pharaohs being literal gods. Or more recently Japan's emperors.

AI is not a technology for you or anyone that works for a living.

AI exists to allow wealth to access skill without skill accessing wealth.

It's not for you it's for a handful of billionaires so that they can break the dependency on workers and consumers once and for all.

Customers are a dependency and a check on their power. Elon Musk for example was running roughshod over America and had to back off a little because people stopped buying his cars.

I guarantee you he is furious that us filthy peasants were able to exercise some minor form of control over him and he is going to do everything of his power to break that dependency.

Techno feudalism means capitalism goes away so no more customers and no more consumers. You have a few hundred thousand or maybe even a few million people that exist for the sole purpose of glorifying and pleasing approximately 6 to 8,000 human beings.

You have a handful of engineers that are basically your Craftsman and artisans, a handful of thugs (AKA knights) to keep those engineers in line and you don't need the peasantry anymore because you have machines to do all that.

You then use surveillance and automated weapons to keep the other however many billion in line. This means you periodically do a cull were you just fire a bomb everybody else.

Remember when the blacks started to form their own little black Wall Street and the racists just blew them the kingdom come? Imagine that on a global scale.

The ultra wealthy consider us vermin. I don't mean that like an insult I mean that in a literal sense. And it absolutely disgust them to be dependent on us vermin.

I think the reason people have a hard time with this is we are taught that capitalism is eternal and that the only threat to it is socialism or communism.

Obviously, you have been living under a rock for the last 9 months.

Trying to force 996 on all of us. Pay attention they are gradually introducing the idea into your head so they can force you to do it, or your kids if you're retired.

This is how you wag the Dog. You will see more and more of these stories normalizing the death of the 40-hour work week that your great-grandparents fought and died for. I don't mean in world war II

Meanwhile we are automating fucking everything and have been for 45 years. So the last thing you should do is have people work longer hours for less pay.

I keep saying this but the billionaires have had enough of capitalism. They have noticed that they are wealth and privileged and power derives from consumers and they don't like you. They're taking measures to put an end to capitalism but leave them in charge.

Go read up on the history of capitalism. Capitalism is a relatively new invention of humans. It's not something eternal like you were taught to believe in high school. There is absolutely no reason it can't be destroyed with something dystopian and completely unlike the socialist ideas floating around. Something like feudalism but so much worse because it's backed by surveillance and technology

You are incapable of spotting trends.

This is another case of the ruling elite intentionally making your life worse for minor and Petty benefits for themselves.

In this case everyone who has to go into work for real reasons has more traffic and everyone who doesn't has to spend their mortal lifetime trapped in a little fucking box for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours a day all because the super rich want to maintain property levels for commercial real estate and fire some people without paying compensation.

This is a case of your life getting noticeably worse because somebody's super wealthy wants it to even though you do not.

And the only thing that makes that possible is people like you trading pathetic moral panics and bigotry and tribalism for real tangible economic goods and services.

The fact that you cannot recognize how they control you or understand that return to work is just another example of them controlling you and making your life objectively worse and that you cannot connect those dots is why we are all fucked.

You simply do not have the critical thinking skills and pattern recognition to exist and thrive in a modern civilization and eventually they're going to put you on the chopping block and slaughter you like a pig. All of us.

If you're over 65 maybe you get to die before then and well then I guess you win. You get to be the garbage human being you've always wanted to be your whole life and you got away with it. You got the look down on whichever group you prefer to look down on that you need to look down on and you got to indulge in moral panics and the pleasures that come with that.

On the other hand if you're in your 50s holy fucking shit are you fucked. You're about to learn what it means to have a ruling class and not be part of the in group

You're completely incapable of understanding context.

This is another example of things in your life and mine getting worse because people at the top want them to be worse even though everyone else doesn't.

The fact that you cannot draw that line, that very obvious line from point a to point b, is why we are all completely fucked.

You're inability to recognize wider patterns and react intelligently to them and the sheer number of people out there just like you who do not have those critical thinking facilities is going to Doom our country and probably even our species.

But hey you sure showed me didn't you? Consider me owned. Surprised you didn't mention TDS

To generate fake frames interpolated between the real ones. You use it to increase your frame rate above what your graphics card is really capable of rendering.

Computationally it's much cheaper to fake a frame than it is to render the entire frame. The problem is of course that the fake frame is just a slightly different version of the frame that preceded it. It's not actual movement in game so although it makes it look smoother to your eyes it's perceived as input lag as you're playing because your input isn't really generating the frame.

All of this is called frame generation.

If your game is above 60 fps, especially if it's above 100 FPS and you're just trying to get to whatever the max refresh rate of your monitor is like 144 or even 320 then it works pretty well. The game ends up looking smoother without noticeably affecting gameplay.

The problem is when a game developer and a game engine maker poorly optimized everything to the point where you're getting sub 60 FPS. Below that most human beings can perceive the gap between the inputs that are doing and the fake frames inserted in between the real ones.

And once you get down to 25 to 30 FPS and you're using frame generation it's just a mess.

This came to a head because the last major release, borderlands 4, it's an absolute mess. Even people with $1,000 video cards are having a hard time hitting a consistent 60 FPS. And the company that made it has basically given everyone the middle finger and said deal with it.

It's especially frustrating because the lousy performance doesn't seem to have gotten us anything visually except some slightly better sunlight. Meanwhile there's a good game supposedly buried behind the ridiculously bad performance.

Anyway all this frame generation stuff gets called AI because it uses neuro Network algorithms. It's really more machine learning than what we're calling AI lately but you get the point. I mean none of this is really AI

Doesn't mean they will stop him this time. You can't keep counting on other people to save your ass.

There are approximately 3,000 billionaires in this country and they are sick and tired of all you God damn consumers pushing them around.

They have decided capitalism has to go. Not all the power and prestige they obtained from it just the capitalism part.

It's a brave New world and there's no place for you in it

He didn't show up to the debate because he could only hurt himself at the debates. The news media covered for him. It's called sane washing.

We let the billionaires buy all the media and now we are fucked. It's not even a matter of being a low information voter you have to be an ultra high information voter in order to have the slightest fucking clue what's going on in the world because the news media actively lies. Not just Fox and newsmax and oan but CNN and even MSNBC get in on it.

Mainstream media in America is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the US Republican party and approximately 6 to 10 billionaires.

Personal responsibility all the way. The victim is always responsible. She shouldn't have been wearing all that sexy clothing right? Never mind that she was 13 when you did it...

You will make a fine member of the US Republican party. I mean if your skin color is correct. Otherwise it's off to the camps with you. Oh and better not be gay or better be really good at hiding it.

Is when my last five posts are modded down by one. It happens every time those twats get their mod points.

It's like a kid being given their allowance for the month. They go and blow it on Penny Candy. Or in this case modding down my stupid posts about how fucking screwed everything is.

Dude you can literally just Google the phrase which pesticides are allowed for organic farming.

Also Jesus fucking Christ is this a bot or llm writing this crap? How the hell do you opt for less pesticides? Do you tell the girl at the drive-thru to hold the pesticides? Think critically and Google competently.

Food co-ops are great if you have one at a reasonable distance but if you're in a big city you could be looking at anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to drive to one the same goes with farmer markets.

It's still doable if you know how to cook and freeze and store but it's harder to do that than people really give it credit for. I mean yeah you can make edible food but it takes a lot of time and unless you are a good cook it's going to taste like crap when you pull it out of the freezer eventually or uncan it.

So unless you've got a largish family it's probably not worth the wear and tear on your vehicles and gas and all the time spent prepping the food.

The most common place I see people doing it is when one of the spouses loses their job and just plain can't find another.

Just to spoil it for everyone, it turns out the Halo was actually just a really really large donut and Cortana was actually the daughter of Fred the baker the whole time.

It took him like five games to get there but they did.
