looks at mirror

Nope. Not 1999. I still have grey hair.

It’s not the AI that causes problems. It’s the CEOs that INSIST this bullshit needs to not only be part of our lives, but also affect our lives.

We can’t buy ram at reasonable prices. I hear storage (hard drives, and solid state drives) are also going to go back to being expensive.

GPUs as well.

This is just like a few years ago when all the crypto bros decided they needed all the GPUs. So prices went from $100 or so, to $700. I’ve heard of some high end GPUs at tge peak of it going for 3k.

Except this time, when the fad ends, I heard it’s going to collapse the entire US economy.

We’re being forced to prop up a technology that does not work in the ways they want it to, and never will. It can’t. Thats not something a computer can ever do.

It’s like saying a plane can fly at 550mph, and a pigeon can also fly. Therefore we’re forcing the entire united states economy to be dependant on pigeons flying from New York to Los Angelas in 5 hours.

It can’t do that.

So when it fails, it basically creates a global depression.

That’s what we’re doing here. The CEOs are at fault. The AI itself will only do what you tell it to do.

Orrrrrr…maybe it was Lee Harvey Oswald. Notice how Steam goes back, and to the left. Back, and to the left. Baaaaaack…and to the left.

Why are you people downvoting him? He’s right! The more publicity we give these assholes, the more power they get.

Wouldn’t you much rather see The Dodo run the news? Wouldn’t you rather see “Kitten cries for help and finds new forever home” in the news?

Wouldn’t you rather see “Former president trump, now homeless, shits himself and dies alone”?

No. You guys give engagement to the negative stories. So thats what they report. Thats what gets controlled to be reported. And now we’re all here. In 2026.

Ya know, when I was a kid, we were talking about the future with flying cars that ran on water, and anytime it rained was a free fillup for your Fcar. That’s Flying Car. “Fcar”.

But NOOOOOOOOOO. You guys just had to ruin it with 9/11, and the oil wars that followed. Well oil would be near worthless if cars ran on rain water. And we can’t make them fly, or there’ll be 9/11 everyday.

And now? Now we’re at a point where food costs a mortgage, nobody can own anything, and the local hobo gets laid more often than you.

The sad part is, I’m BARELY being absurdist here.

Hey!!!

…I actually did kinda ok with the grilled cheese I made last night. I mean, it wasn’t great. It was still burnt, but it was considerably less burnt!

I’m still not clear how post 1950 governments, especially the united states, never made any effort at all in creating underground cities.

The ONLY reason we haven’t paid for it, is because the USSR wasn’t actually dumb enough to start the nuclear war. Because there were times where we sure were.

But in any event, if you put a city 2 miles underground, you can bomb the fuck out of the surface. It’s just grass.

Obviously you can’t make the whole country underground, but you could make individual cities. Concentrated pockets of people, all safe from all bombs.

Although, if we transitioned 100% to that model in the 1950s, covid in 2020 may have been 10000x worse.

So, you take the good, you take the bad, you put them together, and what do you get? The facts of life. The facts of life.

Oh yeah? Well I live in Cleveland! Here’s some chocolate, because we have the better food! Not to mention the romanburger!

This is something you’d hear a crackhead say on the public transit subway.

Huh…so what you’re saying is that mirrors are actually AI.

THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE!!! EVERYBODY COVER YOUR MIRRORS!!!

They are essentially trying to regulate technology they know very little about.

You’re surprised that law makers are trying to regulate things they know nothing about? Oh…oh I have like 2000 years worth of news for you…

“They are putting profits over sanity and safety”

Soooooooo, just like every other business in the history of capitolism?

At my age? Only if I eat enough fiber…

I don’t think you can plug a thumb drive into a pidgeon.

What if I have an android installation that has google, but I watch one of those videos on youtube that says “degoogle your android phone”? Is that enough? Or will I need a full installation that has no google right from the start?

First I’m hearing of this launcher. Definately gonna download the apks.

If it’s just a fork of Android, doesn’t that mean 194 days from now they either need to branch off entirely and write their own code from here on out…

Or…

Never advance the base code?

I’ve been here 2 years, and this is the first I’m hearing of this.

…ok, I honestly can’t tell if you’re in on the joke, or if you’re being a nutjob.

…yeah. Neck. That’s the right word…

Or, maybe they’re trying to kill adblockers so hard that they killed the whole homepage.

“Well if we can’t block the adblockers, we’ll just block EVERYBODY! No more Mr Beast for anyone!”
