That’s how faster horses work. If you want to sell something actually new you have to take some risk. Speculative investment is good. It’s just group-think me-too investment bandwagon bubbles that are bad. And to be clear I think the world is overinvesting in AI by a lot. The strange thing is that so thinks a lot of financial experts, but “the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent” so here we are.

Yup. Happy people don’t write about how happy they are. Explains why LinkedIn is how it is: Everyone there is supposed to be successful but nobody successful feel the need to write there.

In other news, everyone is naked underneath their clothes.

Yeah, the son wants to communicate with his friends and he wants his son to be offline? Does he read the stuff he writes??

OpenAI and Anthropic are going public soon. They’re trying to offload the bag on the public.

This sounds batshit insane, and it is, but it is also true. In the USA, anyway. What is even the job of the government under capitalism if not to fix this kind of shit.

The people who are into performative cruelty are… callous? Yeah, that tracks.

You see this a lot in the comment sections of short videos complaining about men. The expectations are wild. Of course they’re unrepresentative, but these women clearly are out there.

Cars should be taxed by size and weight. These cars are ridiculous.

Surprised this isn’t already a thing. Any mainstream social network is very very soon going to be completely useless for political discourse.

Isn’t the French national debt wildly out of control? I guess they could raise taxes instead.

Maybe not the lions? Unless you think men fighting over harems of women is cooperation.

You can move freely in the EU, but all the non-legal barriers are the same as everywhere else.

I see you want to live in the US after all. Valid thing to do. But don’t complain about the consequences.

As an individual: Definitely leave. Generally I think some people ought to shut up and get the hell out instead of impotently complaining online.

I think what these posters are asking about, though, is how it is possible that the American people in aggregate support this system? And they do. Just like how about half of Israelis support Netanyahu. Sure sure. Electoral college, voting system, bla bla. Trump won the popular vote against Harris. How? This is clearly an electorate that itself is the problem. The people of the US doesn’t suffer under its government. The people of the US suffers because it chooses to.

Yeah, it’s not looking good. There are still bookstores, but more and more it feels like a niche thing.

It never meant anything anyway. The US always got waivers for everything because we apparently can’t survive without Microsoft et al

Hmmm… Not a fan. Any new box should have at least ML upscaling, ML ray reconstruction, and support for cooperative vectors. RDNA3 is PS5-level tech. Hope Valve picks either RDNA4 or UDNA for the gpu of whatever comes next

Eh, dunno about denmark, but Norwegian books are like 3x the price of the same book in German. That’s mostly because it’s a small market that still needs translation, though. Doubt fiddling with the VAT will make much difference.

This is true. CEOs generally last very short before they’re fired. Any normal person would be set for life by their compensation package, though.
