welp. here I stand. corrected.

Unfortunately true. They sell more to people who do less. There’s no shame in owning a big van that can do the same things but still service a family.

My main issue with the Cybertruck (before Elon revealed himself to be a total ass) was that ITS NOT A TRUCK. How can you call it a truck without a truck bed?

Remember when they first made the change and all over social media you had the fake videos of people showing you how to drill into your phone because – “The jack is still there guys! promise”

The answer is obvious.

Goat Milk Soap.

You know…that’s fair. I can see Musk trying to take Meta. or Google.

It’s Saudi Arabia. They’re basically in the dark ages with the oil money to buy modern infrastructure. It’s an absolute monarchy, You get the death penalty for being any flavor of queer, It’s a surveillance state. They literally sent a kill squad into a foreign nation to (successfully) brutally murder a journalist. We don’t hear it much because of all the other constant noise in the digital world but they’re not good people. Everyone turns a blind eye because they have that sweet sweet oil and since like the 70s the US has been on it’s knees for them.

Don’t get me wrong here. It’s a very nice looking place but it’s built on some of the most terrible human rights abuses you can name.

They have almost open slavery. It’s not a good place. The fact that they were allowed to buy EA at all is a problem.

It will happen. I was browsing this while logged out and can’t respond to the person I would like to because they’re invisible to me. The thing about bailouts is that they will likely go to the big dogs and not the actual AI companies. Microsoft, Meta, Google, NVIDIA, Amazon… They’ll get bailed out. OpenAI and Anthropic will get consumed/sold off. We’ll likely see a bidding war for their assets because while they are over valued, they are not without value, and since most of us believe all of this is a push is for cloud computing I would bet. The bubble pop will be consolidation and a push for more cloud-based saas infrastructure.

My opinion has been that all this AI bubble noise has basically just been the R&D phase of a larger rollout. I would be concerned with which company ends up with those assets because that will be a big indicator of future plans in the sector.

I can’t.

I believe what I said, but I’m not following the Chinese market in any serious way. One of my comment edits was to disclose that but I choose the more basic statement. I’m fully willing to be wrong when presented with data. I felt that removing my own hedge allowed comments like yours to more directly challenge the statement.

I’m in the middle of studying for a mid term. I don’t want to use the energy to dig into it. I got my stance mostly from articles I’ve read in passing on how they have regulated their AI market to protect workers and manage circular investing. It could easily have been propaganda.

can you clarify what energy the US is exporting?

China has been taking steps to keep it’s AI industry in check. They’ll be fine. Their bubble pop is essentially a market adjustment. We all just get bent out of shape because of how big these numbers have gotten over the last few decades. The important thing is that the Chinese government took steps to protect it’s other sectors which is why we likely saw their bubble pop before ours.

That’s right. I didn’t put the question in the search bar for you to tell me the answer. That question was the first shoveling of dirt in a 6 hour rabbit hole that I was fixing to explore.

I’m of the general opinion that it’s when a company decides to go public and issue stock is when it’s lost. Once a company’s governance is beholden to stockholders and the board of directors it becomes only a matter of time before it’s garbage.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I hated sports as a penis-haver, but they did always put me to sleep. They were boring and then the adults would scream at the TV for something or another and wake me up from my snooze. Why do I want to watch a bunch of blurs run around a field be narrated by two old guys? or a bunch of cars going in circles narrated by two old guys?

I still don’t get it. Dad took me to a baseball game once and all I can remember is the drunk old lady yelling at the players from right behind me.

Is there a handy rhyme (like with snakes) to help the average so-and-so spot these rapists in the wild?

At least it’s a little harder everywhere else because most people haven’t devolved into a political system of only A and B. That shouldn’t make people elsewhere feel safer. It just means you have more time.

I used to think the EU was pretty solid but I’ve been seeing the ratcheting effect over there in recent years. With one or two bad actors completely stalling out protections. They better watch out.

The metrics for measuring our economic health haven’t been tied to the well being of the total population for a long time. The entire political system has been hiding behind wall-street growth for generations. Inflating that even with money magic. The moment we stepped off the gold standard we started playing a game of math and fantasy.
