At that point, why even have insurance? That’s basically a “catastrophic” plan

This is why they are building huge data centers for something nobody actually wants.

Conservatives seen sweating, drafting bills to ban them

They reflect the screen below it, so that the audience can see the speaker even if the prompter is in the way; they are part of the teleprompter.

The screen shows all the text backwards since it’ll be reversed in the mirrored image, so you need both for it to work.

Which the whole point of this, anyway.

If no one can buy personal computers, they’ll have to rent compute from corporations who have hoarded all the computing hardware.

You’ll own nothing and you’ll pretend to like it, or else they will cut you the fuck off. Please drink a verification can.

Is Andrew Wilson that smarmy “you lick snizz” guy? The one who thinks he’s a more clever version of Trey Parker but he’s really just a shitty little weasel baby version of Steve Bannon?

He’s got a cult of personality, but he’s never actually done the work to build the kind of organized support he’d need for something like that.

ICE

We need more forums again!

How does federation work? Do you subscribe to a community or something and it appears as a forum subsection? Likewise how do you post to a community, magazine, whatever mastodon has etc?

You’re right, we should just let him do whatever he wants. It’s over, we don’t need to catch him lying in front of the world, under oath, on the record, live on CNN. Let’s not even try, what’s the point? He’s just gonna shoot more people on 5th Avenue. He already said he can do whatever he wants and since the stock market is up to 50,000 I guess that means we HAVE to let him, we shouldn’t try to expose his lies and guilt to people who might not be as politically autistic as Lemmy users.

What are you, Chuck Schumer’s lemmyworld account?

Buttery Males

Kind of hard for it to blow over when they’re making all but the most locked down dumb terminals unaffordable and all commercial software is cramming it in.

I swear no one is paying attention to why this shit is different. This isn’t some fad, this is a coordinated attack on personal computing, and therefore on freedom in the digital age.

Brother, it’s way more insidious than “we got egg on our face”

1. AI is sold to enterprise as a way to replace human labor with accurate robots. Middle management spooges all over every conference room. No more wages, no more dental plans, no more HR. They go all in, and a bubble is formed.
2. the bubble hype builds momentum, snowballing this effect. Investors are frothing for a piece. Money starts flowing in, the next big gold rush is here.
3. investment allows huge data centers to be built. Regulations are skirted, money is thrown around like crazy.
4. computing commodities are captured. The world’s supply of RAM, SSDs, GPUs, and hard drives are gobbled up. Consumer prices shoot through the roof, brands that have sold to consumers and enterprises alike for 30 years pack it up instantly. all anyone can afford are little dumb tablets with no ram that are basically only good for being displays for cloud apps <— you are here, this is about 20% complete
5. All communication starts to be done on cloud apps, all document saved to cloud drives, and all content created by humanity scanned for pattern-matcheing by AI. The aforementioned data centers, which we were told were simply for making Agi possible, support all this activity. I’m not talking about out the mechanical Turk LLMs they trotted out to fool all the middle managers, I’m talking about purpose built models looking for context and meaning in written words (like a specialized LLM to detect biases), patterns in financial documents, engineering designs for things that haven’t been announced yet.
6. we now rent this privilege from the corporations and if they dislike what we are doing they cut us off, essentially making us digitally homeless.

You best start believing in techno-fascist dystopias; you’re in one

Edge is nice at work because it works with all the apps we have that still expect IE rendering quirks.

I wouldn’t bother with it if you are at home.

Steve.

Steve fuckin’ gets it.

You don’t have enough AI-ready GPU cores so Teams is running the local copilot model on the CPU with your most recent outlook emails in order to prepare a dummy to send to the cloud for further analysis

…I don’t know if any of the above is true but if it didn’t even stop you for a second to question it, isn’t it time to get off Windows?

I’m not even going to recommend an OS, just anything but Windows. Fucking Apple is more trustworthy.

I thought he got him to re-open a closed channel (/pol/)

The problem is they get overwhelmed with these PRs. Godot has been talking about not being able to manage the workload lately, people just task AIs to vibecode fixes to perceived bugs and half of them don’t even do what they were prompted to do.

You can block those users but they just make new accounts

It honestly feels like a DDoS on do it yourself computing, by corporations who want total control over our thoughts.

Billionaires should not exist in a sane society. Money isn’t just a prize for doing well, it’s unelected power, and people use it as an excuse to be selfish and shitty.

It’s like Reddit karma IRL.

Found this amusing earlier 😉
