At least they are installing renewables as fast as they can.

I put just as much effort, if not more, into my replies as was put into the posts to which I reply. Using a small percentage to make a massive quantity appear insignificant? That's not only lazy, it's dishonest. You got a significantly better reply from me than you deserved.

If you want better replies, write better posts. If you want courteous replies, don't be a dishonest scumbag. It's really that simple.

With the fact that arrests have dropped from 44,000 per year to about 11,000 per year because so many federal law enforcement agents have been taken off other beats and put on immigration enforcement....

Seriously look it up. If we had a functional media it would be much bigger news. Most of the Democrats sucks so hard in messaging...

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, the news media barely covered this and certainly didn't cover the corruption angle at all because the news media is now completely owned by billionaires like something like literally 90% of the news media is owned by billionaires.

So almost nobody hears about this and then the news cycle eats the attention of anyone who does and we all just move on and forget about it. Does that work for you?

In project 2025 they call it shock and awe. Everything is a distraction from the previous terrible thing Trump did and everything Trump does next is a distraction from whatever he's doing at the time. Meanwhile the economy is continuously collapsing due to mismanagement so you're too busy trying to keep your head above water to care about anything else.

Then you mix in a little voter suppression and the fact that a billionaire Trump sycophant just bought the company that controls all of our voting machines and maybe do a few hundred billion dollars of propaganda right before the election and Bob's your uncle Trump gets a third term or at least JD Vance gets his term.

Then we had 25% unemployment, world war III takes off and goes nuclear and we Fermi paradox ourselves. I don't think the billionaires are planning on that last one but I don't think they are thinking any of this through either. They're just too busy trying to set themselves up as feudal Kings.

1/10 of 1% of all the water used in the country doesn't sound like much ... if you're an idiot.

You're hallucinating again. Or lying. Probably both.

This is conservative/right wing agitprop clickbait bullshit of the absolute lowest quality.

no, social media is not creating debt laden people low wages and monopolies raising prices is.

Fuck what a particularly nasty piece of clickbait. But you got me I clicked it and I commented so you win I guess.

When the species of super intelligent raccoons or beavers take over from us after we drive ourselves to Extinction through sheer stupidity I wonder what they will think of this crap.

It seems that way because you see headlines that they had such and such multimillion dollar fine levied but they appeal and don't pay the fine or it gets reduced to a tiny fraction of the profits from the illegal behavior. But funny thing the news media never seems to cover that...

I know of companies that literally have a classification system where they figure out which laws they can break. You will be shocked to find that the laws that affect rich people are generally in the list of ones they can't break while the laws that affect you are in the list of laws they can break...

Even under Biden it was difficult to get consumer protection laws enforced and the fines actually levied and paid and now the Trump is president worst case scenario you buy a little bit of trump coin and the problem gets solved.

The problem is we can't sustain this many billionaires let alone the number who want to be trillionaires.

And we can't take the billionaire's money away because if you try a bunch of old people who grew up on Cold war propaganda are convinced you're going to break into their house and steal their toothbrush. And anyway those billionaires earned it because if they didn't God wouldn't have blessed them /s

Oh good I found a bot. Good luck training your llm here whoever you are.

It's still the exact same silicon and it's got the same problems. Not all of them burn out but some of them do.

The real question is how long until it's replaced by newer or better hardware. Basically will we see custom hardware replace video cards soon for llm acceleration. Similar to what we saw with Bitcoin.

That Won't help consumers because the Fab capacity is just going to go to different silicone, but it does mean that a whole shitload of these gpus will become worthless. I guess some of them will show up on eBay. I got a lot of use out of an old rx580 that was a mining card. I think it did eventually die on me but I got about six good years out of it.

That's a one-time Bonanza though. And it's assuming we get it. The real loser there would be Nvidia since if they get replaced on the AI market with custom hardware then their market value is going to crash harder than I think any market value has ever crashed

Money laundering is the backbone of the entire cryptocurrency market. Although Trump has made corruption into a strong contender.

The greatest rap channel on YouTube, Patrick Boyle's, has a video about one of the major scams collapsing because the big boys have integrated crypto into sectors of our economy so there isn't enough excitement about it anymore to keep some of the financial scams going.

Also with the economy collapsing due to incompetent mismanagement from on high the stock market's going with it. And a lot of these scams were riding the stock market.

Still as long as we refuse to regulate the money laundering crypto isn't going anywhere. You'll Still lose your shirt when you invest in it and desperately try to hide it from your wife. But the big boys are in the pool now and so they're going to suck up all the scam money

Until the comment about equality. You need to work on your bait. When it's too obvious you just come off like an idiot.

I do sense a little desperation. A little bit of cope. Something is happening that you know is going to hurt you and your worldview isn't equipped to deal with it.

Paying wages. That's the problem AI is designed to solve. It is not a consumer product it is capital that will be used to replace you.

And remember they do not need to replace all of us. Doing something like 15 to 25% would completely hollow out consumer spending which is already under threat because massive income inequality means that 80% of our consumer spending comes from baby boomers and those people have about 10 years left before they are pushing up daisies.

And they will not be leaving any inheritance to speak of. What they don't spend on RVs and morning mimosas is going to be eating up by collapsing healthcare systems.

The system of capitalism is being dismantled. It's not breaking down it's being broken down. And if you are under 65 you are going to experience that process. And if you have less than 100 million in your bank account it's not going to be fun.

The DCL isn't mandatory though. Home Assistant only needs it for device firmware updates, but it's always going to be the case that those come from the internet.
