Because it makes for a good distraction from actual problems that they don’t care to solve because those problems would require them to heavily tax millionaires and billionaires.

Not to mention destroying the home GPU market at the same time.

Good thing I don’t use Discord.

Time for a return to Inter-Relay Chat.

I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don’t give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.

My question is whether or not disabling the AI feature also disabled the feature that have had AI integrated into them. The article is unclear on that.

Color me surprised that Epstein was a fucking 4channer.

LoL, if you think this is them scaling back something. Think again. This is the next evolution of their business. They’re trying to phase out people using grocery stores and in person stores in general.

I really don’t care for people dunking on Guy Fieri. He’s a genuinely good guy and putting him in the same context as Kid Rock is a little disgusting.

I can wait to find out what loser right wing celebs they haul out to combat the wokeness. 😂

He’ll only come if the Ninja Turtle is underage.

There is also the fact that AI is being shoved into a lot of places where it really is quite useless. Search engines are the most glaring example of this. LLMs aren’t suited for integration into a search engine, and yet every search engine in existence has had one mashed into it and advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they all universally suck at it.

I haven’t read the article. I’m not going to read the article because I, quite frankly, don’t care about these people and I hope they all fucking crash and burn. But I’m going to take a guess and say that their attitude is something on the order of “We’re making tons of money how can they possibly be the bubble?”

Or you can do like I did and simply put an extra hard drive in, load Linux on it. Then use your old Windows hard drive as a storage drive. For the first couple of weeks it was a nice safety blanket to have.

Oh, and if your PC doesn’t have the room inside for an extra hard drive. Make it an external.

On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”

Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂

How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.

I love how the author keeps bringing up how expensive it would be to implement a system of cloud computing rental because no one would pay the amount it would require to make such a thing profitable. But we’re talking about Jeff bezos here who took billions of dollars worth of loss for over 10 years before making Amazon the profit machine that it is now. Simply by making things cheaper for a long period of time until the customer base eas so used to the model that they could picture doing it any other way and their competition went out of business. I can totally foresee them doing this exact thing with cloud computing. Make it really cheap get people hooked where they have gotten rid of all of their in person computers and then, once access to home computing is either prohibitively expensive or impossible to do because parts are no longer available or otherwise impossible for people to switch away, jack up the price and make it profitable by squeezing every dime out of the average consumer.

This was also, by the way, Netflix’s strategy as well as Spotify and all the other cloud-based services that people are “addicted to”. Take billions and loss to get people used to your service and not consider any alternative. Then once you have a captive audience shoot that price to the Moon.

I was actually talking about here on Lemmy. Though I have been banned from a few subs on reddit as well.

I’ve lost track of how many subs I’ve been banned from cause I pissed off a friend of a mod.

Since I’m one of the people who is on the fence about whether or not to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 or to get myself an ROG Ally (I have $250 of gift cards for Target which don’t sell the Steam Deck) so that I can play steam games on a handheld. I heartily disagree.

And it’s Nintendo’s anti-consumer policies that is making me hesitate on the Switch 2.

And now you know why Microsoft bought it. Nothing better than a captive user base.

The number of people who have no clue how much processing goes into making rice edible is hilarious.
