No, it’s more that making rich people richer isn’t a rising tide

Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

Ding ding ding.

It’s not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They’re very much a minority, but they exist.

I got modernized out of being a parttime worker at the library, when they switched from barcodes to RFID and they didn’t need someone to scan the books anymore.

Which was kinda sad, because while that was boring, helping people find stuff was great. It’s been nearly 20 years and I still can’t stand an unalphabetised bookshelf, or one where the spines don’t line up.

Nowadays, I’m a safety consultant, and I get to fire clients. The most fun one was when they copied my signature on a plan that I specifically told them was illegal. I found out when I got a letter saying I committed environmental crimes for agreeing to said plan.

And US standards are nothing compared to EU GSR requirements. All sorts of mandatory safety systems are required nowadays.

People aren’t learning new propaganda lessons, they are pining for a past that never was.

Like everyone always has been

Or flipping your nail back, that looks like it hurts like hell

So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That’s maybe 15-20 years ago.

It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I’m (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.

Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that’s not the niche).

One of the women has a price of “free”. You could try copying that price.

And this is a very clear example.

Someone disagrees with anything you do or like and you automatically assume they must not know anything and require education on some super basic subjects. So you decide the correct way to convey your viewpoint is with a half page copypasta, stripping out the useful intro and just offering instructions.

You treat everyone like they’re simultaneously some kind of uneducated child and the personification of evil. Perhaps somewhat understandably, people don’t really take well to that.

And now that I see your replies, you also seem to be hyperfocussing on one specific offense to you, pasting to the same reply to numerous, completely different, people and posts. I totally see why you’re getting banned so much, no community wants spammy replies like that.

OP thinks any reaction to them flipping their shit instantly and constantly is aimed at their gender, instead of them flipping their shit instantly and constantly.

Always wipe front to back

Or 11 cousins, in a 2 person studio?

Thank you for realizing what most AI fans fails to realize!

60 billion is a pretty reasonable ballpark for what AI companies are making. It’s closer to 50b annualized (so 35b for real) in 2025 , but same ballpark. What they’re actually SPENDING is an entirely different number. The 600 billion is a quick-and-dirty extrapolation from this sum of capital expenditure by the 5 biggest AI companies. Note that OpenAI direct spending isn’t in there, because they’re not reporting it, but OpenAI is mostly Microsoft.

Some adding up from the WSJ top-4 here for 2024: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/tech-giants-double-down-on-their-massive-ai-spending-b3040b33

130 billion from microsoft: https://www.cfodive.com/news/microsoft-capex-grow-slower-rate-cfo-ai/746947/

75 billion from alphabet here: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/alphabet-expects-to-invest-about-75-billion-in-capex-in-2025.html

72 billion from meta here: https://fortune.com/article/meta-q1-earnings-revenue-profit-beat-ai-capex-raise

11 b from tesla: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-expects-capital-expenditure-exceed-11-bln-2026-2027-2025-01-30

And the same from apple: https://finbox.com/NASDAQGS:AAPL/explorer/capex/

That brings us to a quick 600b in 2 years in expenses, which are climbing, and some 50b in income, with absolutely zero profit. And that’s a problem, because all that capex is not infrastructure, it’s mostly consumable GPUs that will be worn out in a few years and insane salaries.

So, in 2024 and 2025, humans will spend something like 600 billion of LLMs. That’s about as much money as the entire Apollo program plus 2 entire International Space Stations for 40 years plus 5 copies of the longest bridge in the world, and then you’ll have money left to end world hunger for a year.

But instead, we have funny pictures, hallucinations and a semi-ok-ish summary machine that only rarely inserts random phrases. With possibly the worst RoI since Enron

Well, the right could fix that very easily by saying something easy and previously undoubted. Something like “Nazis are bad”.

Wow, where was this post and this book when I first met my mother in law?

(no worries, problem solved, we don’t speak and it’s a minor miracle my partner turned out a good person).

Probably not 80% of their users, but definitely the majority of the active ones.

I remember having been awake for 50-something hours, and getting on a plane. I spent what felt like 3 minutes trying to cram my bag into the overhead compartment, before a flight attendant reached out, rotated it 90 degrees and slid it in no problem.

I often think of that when I see someone being an absolute moron.
