Maybe if tech bros hadn’t eroded every last bit of trust someone would listen to their warnings but currently they sound indistinguishable from their usual marketing gobbledygook.

Are LLM’s plateauing and causing a major economic crisis when the bubble bursts or will AGI kill us all? Both seem fun but personally I’d prefer extinction just to be rid of those goddamn human shaped turd bags.

You had me for the first half

Jim surviving the AI layoffs

Talked to an autistic student today. PC specs are a great interest of his. I told him how a bit more than 10 years ago I was building a PC and didn’t want to pay 300€ for a gtx 970 because that was just too much money for a GPU. Got an R9 280X instead because that was a bit over 200€. My entire build cost me 800€ back then. Good times.

One crypto mania and an AI bubble later and you’d be happy to get a midrange GPU for 600 bucks and you’d suck some dicks behind a dumpster to get 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

Well first of all it’s just easier storage for mid-high amounts of cash. It’ll take almost double the volume to keep the same amount in 50’s and takes twice as long to count so if someone does pay for something expensive in cash, 100’s are a lot more practical.

The other aspect I wouldn’t neglect is inflation. Today’s 50s will be 100s in a few decades so those bills will become a lot more relevant.

He does anthropomorph a bit much. I don’t think AI agents “get desperate”. They just keep hacking away at a problem and we can’t keep up with it. There’s no way of fully containing/monitoring them because the whole point is for them to figure out things we can’t.

I’m not necessarily worried about a singularity or some underground agent civilisation but random collateral damage from AI agents messing around seems almost inevitable.

I mean we once had a student argue that it should be allowed to send nuclear waste to “some African shit hole country” to get rid of it. An AI won’t answer this appropriately because it isn’t allowed to start an answer with “listen here, cuntface”.

If it calms you, I think it’d be hard to start a fire with a 3060 even if you wanted to.

Guys I see 100 billion potential children of mine being born in the next year if my entire sperm count is utilized.

I like that you guys assume after I wake up as an attack helicopter I’d just go to my regular day job and then get overwhelmed with my new grocery bill.

Oh no, I can’t fit through my apartment door and my rotors keep shredding through my jackets.

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over my M230 30mm Chain Guns

wake up as an apache attack helicopter

Yes, yeeees, YEEEEEEES! BRATATATATATATA

Lemme get that Uber-eat-the-rich app

game studios will fire the devs after the game is done and then tell the players they should buy the deluxe edition for a hundred bucks to play a week early but you need to be always online and don’t own the game.

Gig-economies are always a scam. It’s a circumvention of every woker right past generations fought for but it’s somehow ok because it’s an app.

DRIFT KING

He’s doing his best human impression. It’s not much but it’s all he has.

To add some important context:

Seitz is suing the company, along with two others, for Audree’s death, which occurred one week after her 13th birthday.

and the mom is also suing Discord and TikTok.

Alright AI companies I can only hate you so much. Stop adding reasons to the list.

I know two girls who’d be interested in this kind of science.
