  • Here on Lemmy there is only one type of people, Leftists

    Buddy…

    If you think we’re all “leftists” then the only differentiater you’re looking at is support of fascism, and there’s even a couple fascists, so that can’t be it.

    Most weeks I get called a neoliberal, a commie, and everything in between.

    There’s room for nuance here, and there’s never room for that when fascists are in the room. You leaving Jack’s up the percentage of fascists, which scares off people who don’t care about politics.

    I know I just said:

    It doesn’t matter what you think you’re accomplishing there, the reality is you’re just a punching bag and without you they’d fight each other which divides their base and depresses their turnout

    And you ignored it, so I said the same thing with more words, kind of a hailmary on my part.

    because you don’t see a political discussion here but rather one opinion on repeat.

    Then disagree with people…

    I do it all the time, sometimes I get heavily downvoted, sometimes I change a couple minds. But you can always just be the change you want to see

    Not really…

    The reason it will domino is AI companies can’t afford the hardware, so Nvidia “invests” in AI companies and trades hardware for shares.

    They have like 100 billion just in OpenAI, which they’re leveraging into loans to make more of the chips no one can afford.

    If openai goes down, the banks call in the loans Nvidia has openai for collateral. So then Nvidia will have to sell all their other shares of other AI companies to cover the loans, and likely will have to drastically cut production of AI chips, driving the cost up.

    Now all those other AI companies that Nvidia just sold, can’t afford the higher price, because they couldn’t afford a subsidized price along with shares.

    As those companies fold, it makes even less people who would even want to buy those AI chips at any prices, driving Nvidia further down and maybe all the way to bankrupt

    That’s when it starts fucking with index funds and the wider market

    But all those shadow banks won’t really get hit. They’re not holding stocks to make money, they’re buried treasure chests filled with liquid assets in case of emergency. The only way they’d be hit is if the currency they’re held in collapses. Even then, that method almost always includes safety deposit boxes with precious metals/jewels to account for that










  • How would you even know? What’s the control here? Between two people, how would you classify these variables

    Are you confused about how a woman can tell the difference between two drawings of different heights?

    Cuz like, if you can figure out how they can differentiate that, then it should be pretty easy to figure out the other two.

    I’m willing to bet that 99.999% of the human population can see two separate visual representations of a dick and balls, and accurately determine which is larger.

    If you can’t evaluate differences of sizes/shapes with human anatomy, that’s like some kind of “whole body blindness” which is probably just as common as bird blindness…
