Increased productivity should have led to higher salaries, a 4-day workweek, and more generational wealth. Instead, it increased shareholder value.

It’s not only that the rich steal from everyone, but they get greedier all the time. People literally die to make them richer.

I have read that with our current productivity we should have a 4-day workweek and much higher salaries. But all the gains go straight to the top.

The whole AI bubble is just one big bet: “AGI is around the corner and will replace all white collar jobs”

Now, LLMs get slowly better but aren’t AGI and it’s unclear if our current approach is even capable of reaching AGI.

Sadly the US went ‘all-in’ on the bet and everyone except the ultra rich will feel the pain.

Everything EA touches loses its soul. EA was always this turbo-capitalist locust-plague of a company. ‘Consume and destroy’ is their unofficial company motto.

As soon as they bought Bioware it was just a matter of time.

“We need the second amendment to fight kings and dictators! So we need to accept school shootings!”

Ok, you now have a dictator who took over the US. He is manipulating the voting system. He is dismantling the democratic government.

“Vote ☺️”

There is one party that stands for corruption, racism, and the erosion of democracy. Sure, the other side has its problems too, but that is no excuse for letting authoritarianism run rampant.

And it’s not even difficult to see what’s happening. The GOP has abandoned even the veneer of decency. At this point, pretending both sides are equally bad isn’t balance. It’s an excuse to look the other way.

There’s a sketch about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naleynXS7yo

Oh yeah? If those work, how long will will it take before they will be used/misused by police and employers?

The best way to combat racism is to meet foreigners. It seems that works for transphobia, too.

Well, they drive better in Germany than in France, Italy, or Bulgaria (from my personal experience).

Well, if they only do random drug tests, they will only fire whoever is the poor fellow who draws the short stick. What an asshole move.

Damn, if I were living in the US, I’d start to seriously consider growing my own food, perhaps together with friends and family. It’s getting worse and worse.

It’s not sustainable. The data centers need to produce money soon, and currently, it’s not even clear when they will get the power they need or if AGI/ASI is even possible with our current approach to LLMs. The money that went into the construction is gone, and no ROI is visible anywhere. The amount of debt is staggering, and debtors won’t wait forever.

Bubbles can last decades, this one won’t.

There is a reason why RAM production is not ramping up. The collapse is too close to make it feasible.

The bubble won’t survive 3 years. Who the hell believes such prediction?

Big copyright companies are powerful, but the AI bubble is currently holding up the American economy, and there is the AI race with China. Hard to tell how that goes. If Trump wins/cheats his way to a win in the midterms it’s going to be more in favor of AI.

If they were half as smart as they think they are, they would enjoy their lives in luxury and leave the rest of us alone.

The smart ones are the ones we have never heard of.

I was once explaining the upsides of UBI and someone replied “no, this would fix too many issues with capitalism, this would delay the revolution!” Like… Dude.

Dieing would be too good. I want him paying for his crimes. I want him demoted, incarcerated, humiliated and see his whole criminal crew brought to justice. Then he can die.

Google started to decline before AI

Rock and Stone!
