More like a gnat in a manure pit. But do go on.

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.
Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.
We wouldn’t even be able to restart. All the easily available resources have been delved. Three thousand years ago people could scoop pure gold from rivers by the kilos. Today, all decent deposits lie kilometers below the surface.
But it’ll be for the best. We had our shot and blew it.
Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.
It’s why humans will always remain de facto slaves to a few masters. Anything that could potentially be advantageous to all life on Earth? Only if the ones at the top get to profit first. No profit? Enjoy scorching to death on hell-planet for the next forty years!
O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.
South Park completely nailed the “removeds” episode. That was one for the ages. Aww c’mon, are we really worse than Reddit when it comes to censorship? Goddammit… Seems the “removeds” won.
Encrypted DNS traffic => oh noed, what now?
110K/mo was bound to attract attention. So, purely hypothetically, uhh, what would the lowest cutoff be before eyebrows start raising?
We’re slowly approaching the “FO” phase of FAFO for a lot of these companies
I already felt this way about intel when they hired fucking Will.I.Am to be spokesperson. He made more money in a month than most of their engineers in a year. That was a decade ago. It’s only been downhill since. I hope they go fully bankrupt at this point and someone worthy can take over the patents.
It also can be not installed to begin with. Fuck MS and all their bullshit. Next year, 5% of pc gamers will be on Linux and it will keep growing from there.
Yeah lol never lived in a house big enough to have a hallway, let alone across multiple floors.
This is why I cashed out what little crypto I had for physical bullion (gold, silver) that I store at my own home.
Plenty of people laugh at me, but who’ll be laughing when we are all killing each other over a puddle of drinkable water or scraps of food?
Not me, either, but I might at least be able to barter for a few days before getting killed for it by some ragtag militia.
Well I’m up for that. It’s just one of those things that are kinda hard on your own.
We’re already seeing it. Jobs are going down because AI allows companies to do the same work with less headcount.
There is no reality in which the workers actually benefit though. Never has been. When machine looms and steam engines came into being, the workers didn’t get any richer or had to work less for the same pay either. Jobs disappeared, most people got other jobs, some better, most worse and the unluckiest starved.
History always repeats.
Absolutely not.
If they learn anything from this, it will be to better find the boundaries of what kind of grift they can or can’t get away with. The criminals will get smarter and barely a slap on the wrist. Worst case scenario, an entirely new flock of shitbirds will replace them and keep doing the same or worse.
As long as no one at the top goes to jail or completely personally bankrupt, there is 0 incentive for the system to change in the slightest.
I forget in what series or movie it was, but they captured a zombie and pulled all its teeth, making it completely harmless. Probably in Walking Dead somewhere.
But the level of cooperation required means they have to break eee to remain in the clear. Doing that means they lose almost all reason to exist in the first place. This is a no-win scenario.
Sure, that’s definitely a country that needs more wishy washy magic crap on top of all their current issues.
