Yes, I know XiWare is likely snoopish, but so is GoogleWare. At least make the jerks compete.

Executives can't resist shoving a new spam channel into your face. Even if they can't use it immediately due to regulations etc., the possibilities make their greedy marketing glands swell with giddiness.

SiriusXM is already spamming my older model vehicle using tricks to get me to poke around in their music menu by pretending to malfunction. Long story, but here is similar behavior.

I like my presidents to not be pedophiles but you do you I guess.

Data centers are going to add about $500 to $600 a year to my energy bill. That is a lot of money to take out of my pocket so some billionaire can try and fire me and replace me with a bot.

The problem is if you're over 60 it's been working just fine because they have made it a point to leave you out of all the really nasty stuff they do to everybody else so that you will continue to vote to screw over everybody else.

Now that is scheduled to change in 2032 when social security benefits get cut by $500 a month minimum. With the basic idea that if the Democrats manage to save democracy then they have a mess the Republicans can use to get more concessions by threatening to kill people as per the usual and if the Democrats don't win in 2028 then that's it for democracy and the billionaires can do basically anything they want to any of us and they will.

Meanwhile I know for a fact that is a bunch of dipshit old people on this forum who think they are going to be just fine because they bought a little bit of rental property before prices went crazy and don't have a fucking clue what's coming.

Honestly it must be nice. It's that whole sweet summer child thing where you have no fucking idea. Or like the libertarian house cat thing. Fiercely convinced of their independence while being utterly dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate.

Whatever the case when the healthcare system collapses and the price of the drugs they need to not die of a heart attack goes from several hundred dollars a month to $10,000 a month they're going to find out how worthless that little sliver of rental property they have is.

Or maybe the Democrats will save them yet again. But it's getting harder and harder for the Democrats to save these motherfuckers from themselves. Frankly they can all fuck off and die as far as I'm concerned but they keep dragging me down with them

If the Saudis weren't buying basically everything that the rest of the billionaires didn't already own and if I hadn't just watched the 90% billionaire owned news media spend an entire election cycle sane washing Donald Trump while giving multiple weeks of coverage every time Joe Biden so much as coughed.

I mean I know that psychopaths are constantly beaming propaganda into my eye sockets to make me do stupid shit having one more group of psychopathic assholes doing that is hardly news.

A judge this month rejected a legal challenge by Mr. Perkins and others, who argued the recall violated Missouri's Constitution.

Some are thinking that a recall election violates their state's constitution? If that was the case, your constitution needs some working on!

FCC: "Over the last month we've received many comments requesting that we do X, but we disagree with that, so we're going to ignore all your comments and go ahead with Y anyway."

No evidence was given that math skills are atrophying because of AI, nor was that even claimed in the op-ed, which criticizes slipping testing standards.

It's race between cheaper and stingier. Like the Bungle of Hormuz, too early pick a winner

Apple will get cock blocked by Trump and tariffs after some bribes. Even if the Democrats get back in charge they will probably keep those tariffs because they're nervous about China.

Even if a miracle happens and apple out bribes The Big Three memory producers which is possible they have a fuck ton of money apple is just going to make sure they have supply. That's not necessarily going to help you or me. They will take advantage of the elevated RAM prices to raise the base price of their hardware to match everybody else who can't afford the spin up an entire ram production facility in China and then bribe the ever-loving shit out of the Trump administration to keep the tariffs off.

The problem you're having is you still think the economy is for you. It's not. Things have fundamentally changed. If you have less than a million dollars in your bank account as cash then you're going to get screwed. And even a million may not be enough.

You're not listening. I just said the bubble isn't going to burst. Best case scenario we are looking at 2029 before there's any relief and it could easily go beyond that. Most likely we are looking at 2030 before supply gets any better.

This isn't a bubble. This is a fundamental shift in human technology. I think the problem is we're having a hard time wrapping our heads around that because new technology has always kind of been available for us and made for us. AI is not for you and it is not for me. It is for the capital owners who are sick and tired of having employees and customers. They want to replace everyone in the chain from the employee through to the customer with a machine that does whatever the fuck they want it to do.

Yeah they can't quite do that right now but they're going to keep trying and they're going to get closer to that ideal and they're going to spend unlimited amounts of money and water and electricity and RAM doing it because they have unlimited amounts of all of that because they took it from you when you gave it to them.

What you're thinking of is called anarcho capitalism and it quickly becomes fascism.

That's what it means to fire the ref.

Try taking the referee and all the rules out of the NFL and let me know how much fun it is watching football. The same goes for basketball in the nba. The rules in sports games are remarkably complex at the professional level for just that purpose. There are for example half a dozen rules in basketball that exist because people got too tall and the game got boring The watch because it was just tall people quickly scoring dunks.

We have known AI was eating all the RAM for about 2 years now. We also know it's going to continue to eat all the RAM for at least another 3 years.

It does not take 5 years for someone who already works in the semiconductor industry to enter the market. China is already making viable and useful ram but it's going to of course stay in China. If nothing else the big three producers are Taiwanese and South Korean and they're going to block any attempt to let Chinese companies get a foothold in the rest of the world. If all else fails you'll see 600% tariffs.

The problem here is we are not properly regulating the economy.

You can only ignore politics for so long before it comes knocking at your door. This is a political issue not an economic one.

We have a massive shortage why is nobody stepping up to make more supply? And it's not a short-term shortage everyone knew this was coming and we have known for a couple of years and we knew that was going to get worse and the absolute best case scenario is that it starts to get better sometime around 2029 or 2030.

If capitalism can't even solve something this fucking simple what is even the point?

Of course the actual problem is capitalism is doing exactly what it does when it's not regulated. Nobody wants to enter the market because they know the big three can anytime they want drastically increase production within 6 months to a year and then run them out of business. Even if you wanted to enter the memory business no bank would loan you the money because they know you're just going to lose it all.

Capitalism needs a referee and US dumbasses fired the ref.
