They assume they can keep the class war going forever and ever. After all, it’s worked so far.

Nah. You still need poors. For everything that the robots can’t do.

The short answer is that the wrong people are seeing decreased birth rates.

Religious and poor? To them that equals easily led under-educated, and easily controlled. They need this subset of the population in order to continue to extract wealth.

Wealth from the private prison system, wealth from the military industrial complex, wealth from the predominantly labor supported industries that prop up energy, housing, transportation, and other blue collar jobs. To them, more poor babies means more essentially slave or low wage labor.

The only value poor people have to the rich elite is to do the labor, make the money (so that the wealthy can take the lions share), and spend what little money they have left so that the wealthy can take most of what’s left by selling baubles.

And everyone else’s. People don’t go elsewhere because the creators they like are on YouTube. Speaking as someone with Peertube and Nebula.

The people who own the company that’s trying to buy EA are the people who ordered the assassination of Khashoggi.

Not me, but I pirated sims 3.

Most of mine are things like setting a default for things like wifi or Bluetooth devices.

I want my phone to connect to my home wifi and know it’s the home wifi? I want it to prefer that wifi to other networks.

I want my Bluetooth headset to stay connected to the device I’m currently using rather than changing to a separate device when that device is powered on.

I’m sure there are others but I think these may not be solvable without changing the way these devices handle connections in their firmware.

Futurama suicide booths say what?

I’m going to say that while that’s probably true there’s something it leaves out.

For every life it saves it may just be postponing or causing the loss of other lives. This is because it’s not a healthcare professional and it will absolutely help to mask a lot of poor mental health symptoms which just kicks the can down the road.

It does not really help to save someone from getting hit by a bus today if they try to get hit by the bus again tomorrow and the day after and so on.

Do I think it may have a net positive effect in the short term? Yes. Do I believe that that positive effect stays a complete net positive in the long term? No.

My first thought was “Open AI is collecting and storing the metrics for how often users bring up suicide to ChatGPT”.

I tried to make sure it got quoted but my app doesn’t do well with copying the user so I did it this way so people would know it certainly wasn’t me who saw the flaw.

If it helps UFD tech on YouTube also reported off the Tom’s Guide article, spouting the same flawed data as the headline.

Someone else already explained (after watching the video) why this test is flawed.

"This is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you’ll see that its not testing with the same power limits.

17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w

This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)

Am_ I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn’t mean one should ban the hammer.

You are when you rob those sites of impressions and click throughs. Just because there are other things contributing to the death of the internet, doesn’t mean that you get to move goal posts. This is a significant acceleration of the progress of both enshittification of the web and bot driven dead Internet theory.

You seem to be all for that because somehow you think the Internet can only be improved by removing humans from it and replacing it with bots? Is that what you mean when you say:

I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.

Because there won’t be a place for real people when the internet is just bots and the AI has killed every forum in existence, which is what I was talking about when I pointed out that the AI is both inaccurate but also robbing sites of their revenue and visitors.

The difference is that the bubble that burst in the 80’s wasn’t caused by McDonald’s. In point of fact, McDonald’s was seeing significant growth then, and has largely been recession proof from the looks of things.

This AI bubble is dangerous because investment brokers and venture capitalists are putting up money saved in 401K’s and IRA’s and investing those funds in AI. When AI crashes that money goes poof.

speculative investment into AI development is now the dominant force driving the US economy. By the numbers, the US GDP has grown at a rate of 1.6 percent so far this year, on pace to hit the 2.8 percent growth it achieved in 2024. That’s all well and good on paper, except for the troubling fact that two-thirds of that growth came from AI, per WaPo‘s analysis.

Consumers spending is down significantly due to tariffs and other bullshit. Consumer spending is normally what drives GDP growth in the USA by quite a large margin quarter over quarter. The AI boom has supplanted it in a very short period of time at such a large margin that it’s unheard of.

You should probably go look up how much money is being invested in LLM’s and how much money it’s making the companies investing in it. Because it’s pretty far into the red and it’s not sustainable even if all 8 billion of us started paying for subs for it, so long as we can’t make it more accurate (and as the Internet dies it will get less accurate), and we can’t figure out a way to prevent it from hallucinating when it doesn’t have accurate info.

I’m also going to point out how ironic it is that at the end of that you both told me to get with the times and called me an old man, as if in this day and age in 2025 there aren’t women on the internet. That’s a beautiful self own, if I do say so myself. Very nice work.

Because once you recognize that using it is helping along the death of the internet, you start to maybe sort of not want to contribute to the sites you like visiting being scraped for information that when presented to you by a fancy statistics algorithm may not even be correct.

But also because I like learning things and the process of gathering information and vetting it is both easier and better in quality than can be received from and LLM. Or if it isn’t, a simple search engine query will suffice.

I’m also going to point out that this isn’t even the only thing wrong with LLM’s.

When this bubble bursts going to wipe out the 401K’s and IRA’s of Americans saving for retirement (the ones that are lucky enough to be able to save) and tank the economy. The largest companies in the world are playing a stock market shell game with other people’s money and it’s gonna end badly.

The resources that the LLM you used are pulling from will cease to exist and the LLM will continue to degrade in usefulness as a result the longer people like you do not engage the actual content being collated by the LLM. This is a zero sum game. The LLM is not sustainable long term for various reasons, up to and including how it’s funded and the fact that its data set is dependent on the websites and resources of other sites where humans engage with each other and the LLM is actively choking off those resources.

Nope. It’s not. I had to follow multiple guides and use three different utilities including power shell, group policy editor, and regedit, and even then I didn’t get rid of everything until I got tired of them fucking with shit and used shutup10++ to just toggle everything off. And I’m lucky enough to only have windows on my work computer at this point and to have admin rights to that computer. This shit is exhausting. Every update breaks something new and brings back shit I have been trying to nuke from orbit.

I feel this way about a lot of stuff including fail compilation videos. I don’t know why they exist and I’m glad I don’t use social media anymore because they’re so prevalent. I don’t want to watch someone get seriously injured or die. No thanks.

I use Bazzite. I like it a lot.

Shock! No, but seriously. This is not a surprise.

Not anymore.
