This threat is super overblown for a device that doesn’t listen to the internet. :)

If hackers get into my local network, I have bigger problems.

Don’t need security fixes. Updates always makes things worse. So I’m very happy with current version and will keep it forever.

It would give me joy to see that thing sink.

I dont have ads on my Nvidia shield but I never updated it either.

I use Nvidia shield and never update it. So far no ads.

I will just stop using any service that has this. I dont need to use them.

I dont know. It got bad in 1929 but it’s a very different world now where things occur and get fixed a lot quicker.

Back then the US was in a depression for 10 years.

I know but I trust it more than Google.

There is value in spreading out your data to different companies in different countries. All the American big tech services sends a copy of everything to the nsa.

Maybe telegram doesn’t. Who knows. Maybe they are being a bit more difficult at least.

Only profits and power matters to these people. They will happily destroy peoples lives. Sam Altman is an obvious psychopath. Zuckerberg is less open with his real thoughts after he said “dumb fucks”, but equally ruthless. Musk lacks empathy and is autistic and doesn’t understand human emotions. Trump is a narcissist.

These are the people who drives Ai.

Well, I think its different for different users, with different economy and different motivations.

Kagi has 70000 paying members, enough to be profitable without any ads or tracking. Since the results are literally Googles results but without ads, AI results or tracking, it’s worth paying for for some people who can.

Ive been a paying member since 2023 and I feel good about supporting alternatives to Google with some lunch money. :) Because of me and the other users, there is a quality search engine that makes us happy and makes a profit without ads.

But we are all different. When I was a teenager I wouldn’t have paid for this. Had no money and wanted my money for other things.

It doesn’t and when you discover that, try Kagi.

People here love things to be free and in doing so, they recommend worse search engines.

Prime bullshit.

I used to work in tech and I think it’s very draining these days, with AI and the constant pressure to deliver more and more. Could be why people are “sick”, they just can’t work on that level all the time, even being young.

Unions are why we have 30 days vacation every year in Europe. Its the entire reason why we are not completely exploited like in the US.

Many people fought very hard to make that happen.

Yeah and the wars are created by America many times, because its huge profits for the military industrial complex and also serves as a way to increase the American presence in countries with resources like oil.

The CIA is super good at what it does actually.

He always was a good guy. Ripped off by Steve Jobs. Steve was brilliant but he ranked very low on empathy. It’s surprising that he was a good speaker. Sam Altman and Zuckerberg is more like the pictures of a smart psychopath but Steve wasn’t like that.

It’s the infrastructure for mass surveillance and dystopia so it’s hard to find any positives.

I think he is right about tech workers working on a higher level, using a bulldozer instead of a shovel, but thats going to be a good thing for the company, not the worker.

He sees the company as the main driver in the economy and if it’s good for the company, it’s good for the country. If it sucks for workers, it’s a sacrifice he is willing to make…

Boosting productivity is very bad for the stressed worker who gets a new performance baseline that is 10 times what it was before. We already see this happening.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

He is right about this too, because he knows the taxes in America is not going to those people. America has so much money but they spend it on weapons instead of their country.

So he is not lying in this interview. He is saying the truth which is why things are so sad. Him paying more taxes would just give more money to the weapons industry. He is existing inside a country where the presidents doesn’t care about ordinary people at all. Same as Russia.

Doesnt have anything to do with fighting with ourselves. America has never invested a lot of money into its own population and environment.

The state of things is what if, that’s true. It has not happened. :)

At some point, it should happen. Still not going to put a dent in the datacenter / dystopia rally though, since they will pick Nvidia and known brands.
