Can’t you access your password manager from a web browser? Or your phone?

Isn’t that just… every app?

That’s basically true, but I think capitalism would overthrow direct democracy.

People would vote for higher wages and then there’d be a coup.

Turns out, microplastics make you immortal.

They are planning to round people up by the millions and are doing it based on skin color and language. They’re putting them in concentration camps, with plans to build many many more camps to house all the detainees.

It’s an ethnic cleansing campaign.

It is, in fact, illegal for undocumented immigrants to own guns.

ICE is ethnically cleansing the country literally right now.

What if, instead of hiring a company, we organized together as workers and yelled at the boss collectively? 🤔

Legitimate improvement.

All of that stuff is great.

Just don’t make me use a touch screen while I’m driving.

The secret to increasing profit is to cut costs, always, no matter what. Research? Workforce development? Safety? Just keep cutting costs, shareholders love it!

What do you mean we’re falling behind? We’ve cut so many costs, growth is infinite!

This is why I think we need to get organized. There are these spontaneous masses of people who would be very receptive to libreware and federation, but the message isn’t getting out to them. You have to be a turbonerd to even be aware of this stuff, but the outrage is fertile ground if the message could just get out of obscure corners of the internet.

The math is 62% accurate? Is that what that’s saying?

Yeah I think the focus should be on technological sovereignty, not abstinence. We need control over our data, control over our software, control over our devices, control over our hardware, and through these things we can gain control over our lives while still accessing these extremely useful tools. We need our own search engines, our own operating systems, our own applications, our own email, our own social media, our own video hosting, etc etc. We can never go back, the only way out is through.

This is extremely hard and expensive, though. It’ll require mass organization of millions of people, we can’t do it as individuals.

The hardware is specialized for chatbots, it’s not just something they can plug-and-play for other use cases. That means using it for other computing tasks is even less efficient per kWh and per litre of water, which will make it hard to justify the resource requirements.

Surely some of this hardware can find new life, but assets will be stranded.

The most optimistic take I’ve seen: AI is a drain on the entire economy that sucks up all investment and this is why the rest of the economy is basically in a recession. Once the bubble pops, investors will flood back into the real economy and correct the problem.

I’m not optimistic.

Well hold on.

Do you have a flag??

Wow, you managed to do something you could have done without AI, but used more resources to do it.

No it just gives bombs to Israel so it can murder them.
