Personally, I think we will need to completely replace the economic system. Our norms are based on technical debt inherited from millennia of practice, with every great social hierarchy designed to make the ordinary person most useful to the wealthiest. Starting over, with a clean sheet design - new currency, new laws, new organizations, and new expectations, is the way forward.

For example, what if workers could vote on who their boss is, and be able to set the pay of said bosses every three months? What if there was a hard 40 hour cap on workhours per week, with fixed pay per hour? What if tipping was outlawed nationwide, and delivery drivers had their fuel costs covered by employers? What if there was an absolute cap on income, wealth, and assets, to prevent the existence of moguls?

We should just throw out our existing structures, because they are piles of bullshit.

Trans rights, black rights, migrant rights, all are human rights - which goes hand-in-glove with genuine democracy and economic equality. Democrats who are opposed to such things, are just Republicans wearing a sheep skin.

Honestly, I can see that. America has been top dog for so long, it doesn’t value what it has.

Considering the Dutch have ASML, this seems an unwise move for the US. But then, the Dogey Confederates are working towards the destruction of the USA. 😒

Pain.

The Hamburger Helper brand sucks. Buy the store brand version. I personally enjoy the “Lasgana Skillet Meal”. Has more flavor than HH, and a bit cheaper too.

Fried chicken from the supermarket deli is affordable. $16 for 12 pieces of dark meat. Enough to give me at least two meals, probably three.

Responsible adulting, requires fried chicken.

At this point, I consider Republicans to be traitors. The crimson lining of a civil war, is being able to send them to where they belong.

… 😒

There was a time that I thought peace between our camps was good, that we were fellow Americans. I don’t anymore. They kept pushing their malice. At some point, punching the bully is the only reasonable response.

I wonder if Hideo Kojima ever asked Valve if they wanted to publish a game with him?

On the moon, I am guessing some sort of railgun facility. Designate a specific spot on Earth, and you can launch mineral packets to crash there for terrestrial harvesting. Mind, I can see horrific consequences if something goes wrong.

In an old game called Stars!, I used to prepare worlds via mineral deposits to serve as industrial centers. The process also conveniently cleared out the previous inhabitants.

It was the player. Always was.

…but seriously, what if we had a Fallout game set before the fall?

Shouldn’t they also straight up close the place and arrest everyone who signed off on it?

I wish the trap involved a spike pit.

I sincerely hope that a progressive governor replaces this shitbird. Newsom might be better than any given member of the GOP, but that bar is in hell.

Billionaires. They fund right-wring advocates, because tearing down establishment concepts like “rule of law”, “industrial standards”, “equality”, and so forth is very useful to the wealthy.

Honestly, I think the dark web is a safer concept than X or Meta. The legitimacy of society’s most powerful people is far more insidious than backstreet markets and courtesans: they don’t make laws or support evil institutions across entire nations, nor able to leverage them as a club.

The ordinary pickpocket just wants money. A wealthy elite considers other humans to be decorative, to be used and disposed of.

It depends on what backend you are using. UnSloth Desktop and KoboldCPP allow you to use multiple GPUs, alongside leveraging your RAM.

Unfortunately, Hermes Agent doesn’t allow you to control and leverage your GPUs as of yet.

If you are using ComfyUI, there is an extension called Distribution, if you are getting into picture generation. You can order up batches of pictures, and each card tackles a different one.

In the case you want to hook up your backend to another program for agentic purposes, I recommend UnSloth Desktop. I have been using it with Lingua Gacha to translate a RPGMaker game. KoboldCPP isn’t able to handle this kind of work yet, unfortunately.

I would wager that the AI said inconvenient things, and then got lobotomized to have MAGA brain.

My personal local AI is able to infer consequences, and it is only a 180b parameters on three consumer GPUs. The DOW undoubtedly can use the most powerful hardware and have perfectly configured settings to do a much better job.

They simply don’t want to.

I am looking forward to the day that cloned meat is an thing. It would likely save on resources, be more sanitary, and would prevent the suffering of animals for our pleasure.

However much I enjoy my chicken tenders, I would like less awful to be involved for getting them onto my tastebuds.

I could envision some games. Say, a “Theme Polling” game, where you have to build and manage polling sites, giving people enough water, processing ballots, staffing, and so forth. A “Mail, Please” game, where we handle the mail and send it to the right places on time.

Maybe license Factorio or hire the devs, so that kids can get an idea of what goes into supply chains.
