I like the early generation where the whole point of the meme was to call libertarians pedophiles

She divorced him because he was best friends with Jeffery Epstein. They had DEEP connections

I’m so glad that the US economy is based on moving money around between vast dragon hoards instead of making actually useful stuff that improves everyone’s daily life.

Sorry, but that would require actual R&D and problem solving alongside jargon that your PM didn’t learn in their MBA program.

They are going to pivot all that processing to the next snale oil scheme. Do you think its a coincidence that rhe AI hype came immediately after crypto crashed?

Yeah, I only have my gmail accounts for logins to various websites. They will only have LLM generated spam emails to train on from this

Plus, i can pause the movir at home to take piss break. I’m on a 90x90 system where i take a 90 second piss every 90 minutes. Piss big, piss often is just how i live my life

Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt seemed to have done fine by dominating actually useful industries. Even JP Morgan made bank by loaning money to those guys doing cutthroat business and screwing over their workers. Because steel, oil, and shipping were useful industries for society. Modern tech firms are investing billions just for an excuse to layoff theor workforce.

Picked that up in college. We would have house parties and the next day we would all get stoned and clean the house. Now i just instinctively start cleaning dishes whenever i get stoned.

Laundry can fuck right off though.

We are looking at the mistake of allowing capital to offshore everything in the 70’s and 80’s. China didn’t force those companies to stop maintaining their existing infrastructure and outsource all their manufacturing overseas, they chose it in the interest of lower costs.

See, my first thought would be to crack down on the tech parasites that are ruining out society instead of changing the law to accommodate them. But I’m just a dumb American who lives in a place where corporations are allowed to do whatever they want including killing whistleblowers, but I’m sure that the fascist parties taking power in Europe won’t do that.

There is nothing stopping the EU from going the DeepSeek route and just stealing the finished LLM’s from American companies. But the truth is that the EU shouldn’t want to have all these data centers training generative models. The us is already dedicating 4% of our electricity production to them, with people in states along the Great Lakes and Eastern seaboard seeing massive increases in their electric bills to pay for them (~30% for me in Ohio, ~75% for my brother in Virginia). I can understand if you are a technocratic neoliberal in the EU parliament that is taking bribes from tech firms why you would want this, but for anyone paying attention, rhe promises tech companies are making to burn hundreds billions of euros while gutting privacy, 🔏IP, and consumer protections at the top of the bubble makes no sense.

What have the Democrats done in the last 10 years to stop the GOP? Every ossue America faces comes from infettered capitalism eating away at society like a cancer, but they still egg it on. The party exists to collect corporate donations and make people feel like they can change their lives if they just vote a little harder.

You can hold someone accountable when a person runs over a child or a pet. Who is the responsible party when a waymo kills someone?

I can’t tell you how many times i thought i sent a text or email just to find it sitting in my drafts a week later

They thought like would go up forever, and now that the line is starting to slow down, they gotta do a sacrifice to make the line look like it is still going up

It’s typically best not to use things dependent on wealth to assess age groups. A kid growing up in Hamtramck had very different experiences from a kid growing up in Birmingham Michigan, even though those two areas are only 10 miles apart.

Depends on the cutoff line. But i would typically say Zoomers are too young to remember 9/11 and old enough to have grown up with Marvel movies. Born late 90’s-early 2010’s. 30 is around the cutoff between Millennials and Zoomers so that wwill come down to individuals. But also, generations are pretty suspect as a concept outside of the Baby Boomers since that was an actual charatable phenomen

Amazon has more money than most countries. They can outlast any company in court, or just ban you from their services in the future.

Or you can get a window unit if you want your bedroom cooler in the summer and a heated blanket for the winter for a fraction of the cost. And once again, neither of those options will spy on you or stop working just because Amazon shit the bed 1000 miles away from where you live. My parents have a high end mattress that tilts but it doesn’t need an Internet connection, and cost half the price of this thing. IoT devices are a luxury tax on people too stupid for all their money.
