Capitalism is like any other vice.
In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.
But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.
The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.
So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what’s most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.
For it to be “worth it” to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips
So it’s not a conspiracy that’s raising prices, it’s capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism…
Not just work, any public setting…
I’m convinced most of them people upset about NSFW never leave their own living space, or worse, they do and just don’t ever think of people around them
It’s just such a weird take because whether or not others filter doesn’t effect them.
Non-human bots now account for 56.5% of internet traffic
Traffic, not content…
But still, we’re getting there
Never attribute to a LLM what can be explained by a hyper focused human…
There’s more than a handful of people that just can’t stop making accounts on here. I’d say it’s more likely one human is manually doing this rather than a bunch of chatbots, which is why I bothered to ask.
Why do so many brand new accounts make posts here trying to get people to talk about AI?
Everyday there’s multiple, and almost every account ends up getting deleted.
It’s just weird
I mean, cocaine isn’t safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she’s punching you in the face with double D’s.
Lots of people make risky decisions…
But in this case it’s pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.
Yeah, going off memory but they’re why avocados evolved too.
They were big enough to eat them whole and poop out the seeds, so they’re the reason we have guacamole.
I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time
Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things happen, and an oversized confidence in modern caskets.
Not to mention what seems to be a complete lack of understanding what “artificial” means
But they’ll rupture and leak…
Like, they’re not even a “lifetime” thing, go 20 years and you’re risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn’t that long for a major surgery and why they’re almost always insured.
I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn’t rupture soon, they’d last long enough she’d have to pay for new ones out of pocket…
Because they’re not a permanent thing.
What?
I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?
Clickbait title acting like it’s a mystery…
It’s obviously the giant sloths, because we can see the claw marks from giant sloths making them.
We’ve known for like a decade now.
Besides telecoms not following their own generational requirements that they made up for themselves…
A big issue is that each new one always seem so much better, because no one else is on it.
Once adaption happens and people move to it, it free up the prior one and cuts down on the advantage.
If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?
There’s two types of fediverse basically.
Reddit knockoff
Twitter knockoff
Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.
If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.
atoms/molecules
Two completely different things, on a molecular level that could just be stored potential energy. Like when a mousetrap is set or not, it doesn’t change it’s weight.
That’s how splitting atoms make atomic bombs there’s potential energy holding shit together, and we poke one to make it release which cause a giant chain reaction which adds up. Even then the “lost” mass is just blown up. I don’t think used my lease fuel gets substantially lighter for example.
Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?
So, solids aren’t really solid. Like, at an atomic level no two molecules are actually touching. Think of it like a magnet floating above another.
What you cut it with matters too, something insanely sharp like a medical grade obsidian blade wieled with skill is so sharp, it’s just going to separate the molecules. And remove very little material.
Try to cut a piece of paper in half with a baseball bat, and lot of material won’t be attached to either of the two biggest pieces. Because it’s a big blunt object.
Why do you keep making and deleting so many accounts?
If you kept the same one, a lot of people would block you and stop down votng every post you make from a new account
Yeah…
But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?
If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…
Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.
Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.
Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence
I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.
This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.
Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money
And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…
Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.
