18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

No one does that.

Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

Wouldn’t know, have ublock.

8gb of RAM? What year is this?

What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can’t already reproduce with a copy paste?

That critical mass will never come because people don’t feel the data has been stolen from them.

Rather, it’s traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.

And to them it’s a decent trade.

No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

Eh, I’m here to relax and have fun.

Not be told I’m a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.

A lot of people.

Why does everyone keep saying child poverty?

Like, do children in other countries have some sort of massive wealth I’m not aware of?

I’ll tell you that it’s super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don’t have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

I’m excited for it for the same reasons.

I don’t have skill in art or coding.

But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.

I think the feature is cool and I’m looking forward to it personally.

Maybe they should have made it opt in, but social features like this on other platforms like discord and stream aren’t, so … eh.

It’s just so hard to see where we transition from here.

We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy… And now many services are being automated. So what’s next?

I’m in favor of the automation but recognize it’s going to cause pain in the near future.

I’ve seen people tout a ‘creative based economy’, but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

You’d hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

Nah, it was fine.
