  Well said. Capitalism is just the means by which most of the world allocates scarce resources, and it’s by far the best way of doing so we’ve ever tried. The problem is massive systemic corruption, not the economic system itself.

  They’re planning on most of us being dead one way or the other. The Planetary Solvency report predicts about half of humanity dead at +3C warming, which is basically guaranteed now before the end of the century, and likely way sooner than that. So the billionaire tech bros and fascists, instead of trying to mitigate the now unavoidable climate hell, are trying to extract all the talent and wealth they can from the rest of us before we all starve to death.

  The comment sections on meme dumps are usually pretty fun. A lot of people have the perfect reaction gif for any situation

  I’m thinking that gizmodo is not a very good publication

  That’ll teach the poors to get all uppity with their living wage demands

  If you were looking for someone to validate your rationalized laziness and cheating, you know where to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a world, where students trying not to cheat is considered remarkable. We haven’t even had LLMs that long.

  “Why aren’t flat broke US consumers buying our premium AI PCs that offer literally no advantages over their current hardware, and also include horrific spyware?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft and most other tech giants have long since stopped feeding their cash cows in favor of squeezing them until they’re dead.

  Demand from who? Not the users, that’s for sure.

  Metal Gear Solid 1-3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Duolingo the face of an AI jobs crisis?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a misnomer to call it an “AI jobs crisis.” LLMs just made it much more visible that CEOs and shareholders are greedy, shortsighted, and don’t know how anything works. Duolingo was already mediocre. Now it’s going to be completely useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve agreed with that for years. But I think there’s going to be a last straw soon. Microsoft is practically abandoning support for most of its products in favor of milking a relatively small number of mega corps for all the license fees it can get away with. If anyone ever takes privacy seriously again, Recall could force an exodus from which Microsoft might not recover.

  You’re thinking of Recall

  I almost feel bad for Intel. They gave us perfectly fine CPUs that lasted for years without needing upgrading, and nowhere to go from there in a world that demands infinite exponential growth.
