Actually, a lot of ICE are hispanic.

Never underestimate the psycho-political allure of whiteness.

There’s a political exception to the Do Not Call law for politicians, put into the law, believe it or not, by politcians. (US context)

I’m afraid to answer this because the monkey paw might curl and I’ll be in an ICE concentration camp in Eswatini.

How many of those over 700 proofs have you evaluated yourself?

Whatever critcisms of the proofs by OpenAI is unlikely to be found in documents published by OpenAI.

Here’s one criticism of one proof:

Edit: I’m not saying that none of those proofs are correct, but if you want a full and complete picture of what those proofs are and what they mean in context, you’re absolutely not going to get it from OpenAI. Mathematics is not “just trust me bro”, nor is it publishing press releases.

Those people are now chatting with an AI and everyone of their ignorant and stupid coments is met with, “What a great insight!”

Which is good because they can be fellated in the privacy of their own homes, but it’s bad because when they get out in public, they are much worse.

The economics of consoles are in shambles.

It used to be you’d get highish-end hardware at cheaper price because of mass production and manufacturer incentives (made up for on games).

Now with people carrying massive game libraries, they’re less likely to buy new games, at the same time as console gaming becomes enshittified cash grabs, at the same time as tech has hit diminishing returns in an industry where generational hardware sales drive software purchases.

Playstation has a few exclusives, but XBox has literally none–it’s all cross compatible with Windows, and almost every single one of those titles is playable via Steam on Linux. You can build an equivalent PC for the same price or less than the equivalent console, and have improved upgrade and repair paths, plus mods, plus Steam sales… consoles make less and less financial sense every day.

The only console that is doing well is Nintendo, and that’s because they built around content not hardware.

And that said, most kids are growing up gaming on tablets and phones, and they haven’t gone through the evolutionary learning process that a 35-year-old life-long gamer. Chances are you hand an 8-year-old a complex two-stick game and they’ll do about as well as my father would.

I think likely we’ll have a profusion of quirky handheld consoles, but the big box consoles will be replaced with computers.

My desktop is 10-year-old gaming PC. If you look at the Steam Survey, it’s about middle-of-the-road today.

It’s not just PC. It’s an open question whether anyone is going to be the next gen of game console, and that’s partially because gaming itselfhas been enshittified, but also for the same reason people aren’t running out to buy 8K TV’s–the minimal improvement in subjective experience is not worth the price.

People are more likely to replace phones because they break than because they are upgrading–partially why Apple and Samsung are doing their DARNEDEST to lock down repairs, so they can drive up the cost of repairs to force people to buy a new phone.

We’re approaching a world where we think of what was formerly “high technology” the same way we think of refrigerators–as basic devices that can generically and permanently do a necessary set of tasks.

I thought “get that bag” was specifically to encourage women chasing money to buy synecdochic luxury purses.

Well, sure, as far as government policy is concerned, the stock market is the economy, no wonder it’s going to be goosed until it collapses.

Oh, yes, I squander and waste a lot of my time, but that’s because there isn’t anything I actually really want to do. There are things I definitely DON’T want to do, and I’m avoiding doing them.

Maybe the complaint isn’t so much about time but life itself?

Timing a bubble pop is notoriously difficult.

I think one thing that’s helping people hang on to delusion is the scarcity of real information. For instance, it’s prefectly possible that 2/3rds of NVIDIA GPUS purchased for data centers are just sitting in a warehouse somewhere, uninstalled. But that’s just a guess based on available data, but we can’t know for sure.

I think with Anthropic and OpenAI’s upcoming IPOs, we’re going to get a lot of information that will eventually filter through the slavish business press and into public consciousness as facts instead of opinions.

I don’t understand why you think people don’t value time. Most people would love to have more time to do what they like to do.

Honestly, probably not.

I think we’ve reached the top of the S-Curve for personal computing hardware. People are staying with their old hardware longer and software is no longer targeting high end and future devices.

So unless there’s a reason you think you might need that RAM, I’d put the money somewhere else.

Can we just observe what a bizarre fucking moment we are living in?

Everyone knows the collapse of the AI bubble is imminent and most of those people know it’s going to be the proximal trigger for a global financial collapse and at the very least a long recession.

Everyone knows except the people who are investing billions of dollars into AI and their press.

Clarification: What do you mean “my phone is more powerful than the Moon landing”?

Do you mean the total kilojoules expended by all the rockets during the Apollo 11 mission, or just the transition from lunar orbit to landing, or something else?

Because I think your phone is significantly less powerful than any option requiring moving substantial mass with rocket fuel.
