They get to that level of wealth and power by a compulsive need to one-up each other…
Which means they’re gonna do horrible shit just to be the one who’s done the worst shit.
Let that cycle spin for a couple decades, and shit gets ugly

The studio that made it pushed so hard to not call it VM 2 for that very reason…
If they were honest about what it was, and it priced accordingly, it would have been received much better


The vast majority of people are wired to get a dopamine boost from helping others.
Doesn’t matter how you do it, can be as inconsequential as noob sitting in a video game, or real world productive like volunteering at a soup kitchen.
But it’ll help.


Yes…
Advertisers want you to pay attention to ads…
Unless OP is a corporation trying to get people to buy things, I don’t see the connection besides the word “attention”.
But I don’t think I’m gonna be able to help you understand that if that didn’t work


And it’s attention that we crave
You.
You crave attention, lots of people don’t
You shouldn’t assume everyone else thinks like you and is built like you, it’s never true and a sign of low empathy.
Fix that and you’ll get more attention and won’t crave it so much.


Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?
What?!
Larry Ellison bought it last week, bad things you’re hearing isn’t “propaganda”…
It’s people who know what is happening, or even just who Larry Ellison is


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


Staying off social media owned by fascist techbros is a better choice…

Did they ever get it to be actual AI?
Last time I heard about it they were just paying very low wages to people in India to watch everyone on webcams or something stupid
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
You’ll know because when it dies it’s going to cause a huge market crash and take a shit ton of other companies with it…
Anyone that would grab a Ham’s ain’t reaching over natty ice tall boys…


They’re not looking at a future where people buy gpus to play games, they’re wanting to sell AI gpus. And Israel is gonna buy a shit ton for surveillance and intelligence work.
Me and you were never gonna buy any of those.
Is this normal?
People burning the planet down for shitty AI image editing?
Unfortunately so…


Huh?
Assuming that’s true it wouldn’t mean “no”, it would mean:
They do, but they used to too


There’s two types:
Mental addiction
Physical addiction
For #2 it’s pretty clear cut: they get the shakes between 12-48 hrs without drinking
For #1 there’s a lot of grey area, but basically someone who becomes agitated when they can’t drink on their normal schedule or won’t do certain activities if they can’t also drink.


Screwworms, which are a fly larva and incredibly painful…


Things in atmosphere can color the light, but most likely they’re thinking about incandescent lighting on TV and at night.


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…
Everyone’s different.
The Humane Society is a great place to start, but you can also just be cognizant of your surroundings and put effort into helping people when they seem to need it. You don’t need to change anything else, just “be a helper”.
