Because they keep trying to undress in front of my children.

Damn right. I think its important we all band together and get more angry about made up bullshit that isn;'t true for some reason.

The left didn't shoot charlie kirk. A crazed gunman shot charlie kirk.

The right doesn't keep shooting schools up. Crazed gunmen shoot schools up.

If the left or the right take up arms, you'll know it, and it wont be some feckless angerbait celebrity getting popped.

Cool, except they''ve had multiple governments, some anti russian, some less so ever since, all because of democracy.

For reference, Zelensky was pro russian. He was also pro european and pro Nato, but he wanted to fix repair ties with the russians. Until, right after Nato voted to reject their application, the russians invaded.

The americans are irrelevant , this war had nothing to do with them.

There, that's the password. Don't tell anyone!

As a long-time volunteer training urban youth in trade skills, what I observed is that daddy isn't around, at all. I personally drove some of them to businesses to apply for jobs, because their parents couldn't or wouldn't. Yeah, it's tough for these kids, but I have seen some work their way out of poverty, given a chance.

Can it read the book to me, instead of making me buy the audio book?

I would agree with you *if* the chip makers are selling their chips in good faith. If, however, they are selling them through questionable channels, and they knew or should have known that the chips were destined for Russia and/or Iran, then they would be complicit in the misuse of the technology.

A gun store that knowingly sells guns to gang members, is complicit in the crimes committed by the gangs.

Who gives an actual fuck if China gets to fancy AI first.

Seriously. As long as I can buy cool shit I dont care where its made.

Its not like ANY of this shit will actually create jobs once they automate us all into personal bankerupcy and perpetual unemployment.

"You can keep the whole town under surveilance as we jack their power bills through the roof. Think of the profits!"

Probably.

This is why I think a severe AI market crash might actually be good for AI. We've proven LLMs can be impressive, and occasionally even useful. Now, we just need the marketing people and CEO suite to fuck off and send it back into the labs for another decade or two to work on the more impressive stuff. And let the ethicists and policy wonks have a decade or so to get us ready for it so it doesnt dismantle civil society, the economy, and politics as insane silicon valley loons torch the forests and redirect half the planets worth into building a premature stupid product nobody wants.

We've all seen for a while how the AI bubble has led to increasingly irrational market behavior. Nvidia priced higher than the entire pharma industry combined , OpenAI just churning through insane amounts of money while ranting incoherently about trillion dollar data centers. Microsoft just rolling out unprecedented data centers, all for a product that the public by and large appears to resesent and business companies struggle to figure out how to extract any sort of productivity out of it.

But its when the abstract market signals start reifying into real world failures that the bed officially shits itself. In the last major crash, that was when people started failing mortgages toppling the subprime house of cards. In the dot com crash, when a number of billion dollar companies just failed stupidly (pets dot com etc).

I think the tipping points gonna come down to RAM. Think about it. You now have a huge demand for RAM to build these budgeted super datacenters, but the budget just got blown to hell and back. Microsoft has also pivoted hard to rolling out new demand for these shitty "Copilot PCs", but the PC market is about to sieze up because computers are about to get real friggin expensive. (Google the price of 64gb of DDR5 and weep). Theres a whole ecosystem of "dumb shit as a service" companies about to discover their high memory GPU instances get real freaking expensive.

Something has to give, and I think that might be Microsoft, and possibly Amazon. Oh they wont die, Amazon and Microsoft have insane capital warchests. But both are incredibly exposed as major datacenter providers to RAM prices. Add onto that Amazons brick and mortar business taking a massive hit from tarrifs on the cheap chinese shit they sell, and finally the rock bottom consumer confidence hammering market behavior. This shits about to blow.

All because Sam "fucking" altman decided to buy 40% of the worlds RAM supply for his overblown spellchecker.

Most cults collapse when the figurehead dies. Dear Leaders death will create an interesting power vacuum and struggle for control. The MAGA movement goes back to the TEA party which was started because of Obama.

I mean, this thing does not even have good download-numbers. And a download is not a user.

I went the entire day without thinking about trans people until you mentioned it. Why do you keep thinking about them?

We don't want a font from another country!
