Because it's commie bullshit and you can fuck off.

You just linked to an opinion article in a tabloid to somehow disprove basic arthritic. Jfc you really are retarded.

> wage slave

This is why I can't take commies seriously. The quality of life of an average English person in the 19th century was the best in the world. There were MANY other jobs. Jobs that the rest of the world could not even dream of. The Luddites certain thought so. They fought to keep them.

It's called the century of Pax Britannica for a reason.

The reality is we are all slaves to nature. The average person's life in the 19th century was basically growing up fast, making babies, and dying early on some farm. There was no safety net. No social security. At the time basically 99% of the population was poor. So if these people were "wage slaves" what does that make actual slaves?

You are the universe enslaving itself and the universe always wins.

People who are wealthy live in a different culture than the rest of society. That's obvious even if they share a zip code. If I had to live in the inner city I'd send my kids to not public school if I have the means. Obviously.

I don't really consider everyone under a million in net worth poor. But I guess you do? Interesting.

You bitch about AI EVERY DAY. On EVERY THREAD. On EVERY FUCKING SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE.

This is literally me the ONE time after months and months and months letting go and just speaking my mind. Because frankly your point of view is old and tired and I see it everywhere on the internet. I bite my tongue usually because it's irrelevant. The industry is going my way. But it's not even my way.

Because I didn't even give a shit a year ago. Frankly. It's just I got access to the tools. And I think they are actually pretty good. Actually. And provide a lot of value. Actually. And when you see the wrong opinion day in day out week after week from people who haven't even TRIED IT then you get to the point where you just wanna speak your mind the one time.

Don't worry tomorrow I won't even be thinking about you.

LLM's have no riz

The Luddites were a local movement in England and no where else. They profited on slave labor just like the rest of the British textile industry. They did the work of converting raw American cotton into textiles which at the time was one of the most labor intensive things humans had to do. In 1811 when the Luddites were active that meant slave labor in America, India, and Egypt. It was so dependent on the American slave trade that when the American Civil War broke out the industry had a "supply crises".

Here's some spot prices for a yard of Calico (Printed Cotton)
1800 - $0.30 – $0.50
1900 - $0.06

Now add inflation over 100 years and the real terms deflation of the commodity was much more than the numbers suggest.

You gotta remember that in 1800 people just wore shirts with holes in them and if you were middle class that meant being able to patch them or get a new shirt as a big ticket item. The difference between death in a pandemic and well.... not death was sometimes being able to get fresh linens.

So anyway every time a Luddite destroyed a cotton mill they probably killed a couple thousand people in aggregate.

I didn't say a word about someone's worth as a person. A tech person who spends 30 years in the industry and still has a net worth below 1 million has shown that they are not good with money. Even 10k per year in a 401k would yield like 2.5 million by now conservatively. That has nothing to do with my opinion on them as a person. They shouldn't be giving out macroeconomic financial advice when they can't get their own house in order.

lmao. Bro I am ridiculing YOU.

I literally don't give a fuck what you think. The industry is proving me right. I'm just dunkin' on you at this point.

There's nothing you can say to me right now that will make me feel bad.

That's because you are a boomer or Gen X with probably 5 million in an IRA so your opinion is irrelevant. You're not building the future.

You know you can buy some cheap land in the middle of no where and live out your dream right? There's nothing stopping you from getting a large homestead in the middle of nowhere.

I just think anti AI people are dumb and are standing in the way of progress and the attitude is slowing us down because of their stupidity. It's costing lives in slowing down application of this new tech in medicine and transportation.

To reach type 1 our civ will need a lot more fabs than currently exist. A lot more. Orders of magnitude.

I had the pleasure to vote against Trump in Pennsylvania in 2016 and 2020.

I find it amusing that my point of view is "conservative" in your view. It is not. It's just the reality.

You should be on your hands and knees sucking Nvidia, AMD, OpenAI, and Anthropic's dick right now because they basically made American tech relevant again in an instant. OpenAI and Anthropic have revenue approaching a combined $120 BILLION PER YEAR. A huge chunk of that is coming from outside of the United States and is therefore keeping our economy afloat during this shit show of this administration. And they are achieving this revenue using EXISTING hardware which definitely did not cost them 120 billion. Shit even if they financed it they would have already paid it off . And yet people in this very thread are saying how it's not profitable. Are you people retarded?

Seriously I'm on OG Obama voter and I think you're all fucking morons.

I will never tire of watching so called experts pretending to not be capable of back of the envelope math that proves them wrong. Or maybe you've just been stuck in a cave for the past 5 years. You never know with the /. crowd.
