There’s two types of fediverse basically.
Reddit knockoff
Twitter knockoff
Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.
If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.
Yeah…
But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?
If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…
Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.
Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.
Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]

I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.
This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.
Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money
You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?
In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside
Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.
You’re acting like that’s a common scenario…
There’s a few small slices of area in a minority of states where you might be legally allowed to pick, but that is not a guarantee there’s more than one option.
To my knowledge most of them are artificial monopolies anyways.
Like, in Perfectville your choice between any available provider is legally protected. However company A and company B made a handshake deal to draw a line down the area and not provide service on one side of the line.

Very few of those green states are for electricity
And if you just meant:
Non profit = good
Then I’m going to have to explain an entirely different thing…
And I’m not optimistic about our chances to be honest
Bullshit.
You really think companies in America with monoplies would lower prices just because their costs went down?
I wish I lived in an America like that…
People thought they’d hang onto CDs and DVDs too…
Good luck…
Even when the bubble bursts, they’re going to have an insane amount of computing power just sitting there, it will get sold off in bankruptcy proceedings, and some company will gobble it up and operate at a loss while continuing to secure future supply contracts.
There’s a very real chance that we’re witnessing the slow death of home computing.
The way things shake out it might end up being prohibitively expensive compared to cloud computing, and once that’s the norm they price gouge like Walmart did to destroy small businesses.
Instead of dropping a couple grand for a PC every couple years, we’ll have steady contracts paying for month at a time indefinitely.
“We are birthing superintelligence. We are creating the mind of God, infinite, destined to solve every problem we’ve ever faced and usher in an age without death.”
What brain rotted CEO grifter is that quote even from?
Prebuilts have become about the only way to get a deal for a while now.
Wasn’t the studios fault
They fought to change the name since the beginning because they knew it would be impossible to deliver a real sequel and while this name might get initial sales it would cause blowback killing the game almost immediately…
Which is exactly what happened.
Like, they’d have loved to make Masquerade 2, but they weren’t given the time or funds to make it.
As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone
They said “market price”… What market are you shopping at?!
So instead of X disabling it…
Only Apple did
The problem is instead of finding better ways to stop it (regulations) you’re looking for “productive” ways to use it…
Apparently because you’ve pre-emptively given up.
But if you succeed it would lead to more AI and more damage to our planet.
I fully understand you believe you have good intentions, I’m just struggling to find a way to explain to you that intentions don’t matter. And I don’t think I’m going to come up with a way you’ll beavle to understand.
It’s like if someone was stuck in a hole in the ground, and instead of wanting to climb out, you yank everyone else back into the hole when they try and keep trying to get them to help you redecorate the hole.
I truly hope someone can present that in a way that gets through to you, because you are doing real damage.
Sure, we sunk billions into this thing destroying our planet and we don’t know how to profit off, but that no reason to stop or even slow down
You know what else would make life better for people?
Accessible healthcare…
You know why that’s better than AI? We don’t need to burn the planet down to use it after spending billions to get it going
They don’t real fluctuate, it’s more oscillating.
Sometimes it’s “normal” but due to a wide range of issues that can change quickly and stay that way for months because everyone waits till prices go down. So as they go down, people stop waiting,
What?
You think this is the first ram crunch?
It’s not even the first one in this decade…
He’s not even rebranding them…
He just charges more than orders one and passes on the shipping info.
Like, he could have at least bought some up front and threw a sticker on there
Lol…
I don’t think this is as reassuring as EA thinks it would be…
It’s like if Comcast got bought by United Healthcare, but assured us their customer service would stay at the same level.
If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?
