It feels foolish that I used to have some hope for this website. Of course the disciples of Jack Dorsey were going to fuck it up.

who are these 'criminal gangs' that you're fearmongering about, toby?
would it be the very same human trafficking gangs that your government's shitty immigration policies are helping to fuel?

yeah, we have 5 quarters now of ALL THE VENTURE CASH IN THE WORLD for OpenAI to set on fire
OpenAI will need literal trillions from the US government money printer, there's no other source of enough dollars

Funny thing for me is when I glanced at that graphic I noticed none of the details but it jumped at me as AI generated, suppose we're slowly building immunity to this.
Wish we had a vaccine tho instead of this "herd immunity" approach... we should've learned by now.

my current finger in the air guess as to how the AI bubble collapses:
i *think* we'll have something that looks very collapse-y, but somehow money keeps flowing a year longer
like how "2008" actually took from 2007 to 2009
my rough guess is still 2027, but that's got big asterisks after it

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

this is the first mp3 i ever downloaded in 2000, to play on my 75MHz Compaq win98 work laptop in Winamp. it's sort of annoying but the chorus (which doesn't kick in until 1 min 57 sec) has been stuck in my head for 25 years

with Micron announcing they're shutting down Crucial cos they only want to sell RAM to the AI hyperscalers, I have today's Pivot story
but obv this was coming
1. good stuff to add/anecdotes?
2. what to advise the populace? Mine so far is "get components now, prices aren't going down for a while"

So if citizens of the most powerful empire in world history can't handle being called (completely innocuous) names by citizens of the countries they exploit and terrorize, then IDK how they expect to be seen as on the left in any meaningful way. like genuinely, have some perspective.

If there's one thing I've learned from several years of membership in a demographic specifically targeted by the state and the ruling class, it's that genocides happen because the majority aren't just decent people who are concerned but too scared to fight back; they actively ignore it, or like it

Update: It works fine. I've spent a total of 76p to keep offsite backups of all the data which compares nicely with the £5.99 M365 costs. And LibreOffice is basically fine. I have not developed any new mental illnesses in the process. I did learn how to make systemd timers though which is worse.
Going to have a crack at switching to Nextcloud and LibreOffice for everything rather than using Microsoft 365. I have done this because I hate myself and wish to experience numerous new exciting mental illnesses

Yup. These aren't stick of RAM.
These are HBM RAM chips which almost no consumer computer part uses, and they're being soldered directly to server GPUs that will rapidly go obsolete.
The RAM being made for "AI" companies will never ever return to the wider market. It's useless forever.

And this is single purpose ram. It's not like AI goes bust and the market suddenly gets flooded with RAM. It's AI goes bust and landfills get flooded with now useless RAM.

In order for it to work at all they have to give it full permissions on your system, and it's supposed to work automatically so obviously it shouldn't keep bothering you for confirmations, and also, nobody in the design team asked an average five year old if this seemed like a bad idea, so... :)
