    First it was crypto, now it’s AI.

    Two stupid fucking things we never wanted.

    Fuck every crypto bro and every AI enthusiast.

      Even if AI somehow falls off the trend, I feel like we’ll see another stupid way to throw mountains of processing power at something. I can’t wait to see what goofy shit they’ll come up with.

      Its the necessary pieces for the next steps. They need crypto for programmable money so they can turn you off, digital ID so they can track your every move in the modern world, AI combined with mass surveillance to enforce it all. Someone wants this world, thats for sure.

        The Crypto bros needed something to offload all the gpus they bought and found a word salad maker that relies on them.

      Right wing lunatics are big in both.

      Crypto because the hurrdurr keep gubmint outta my lyfe shit (despite the fact that crypto is infinitely more easy to track than cash…), and AI because they hate liberal reality, so AI lets them generate all the videos they could hope to have to validate their fake victimhoods.

      Imagine when the crypto train was full on, somebody said that something other will come along where the crypto train will be small joke in comparison.
