Didn’t forget draining all their drinking water. Violating everyone’s copyright. Driving teens to suicide. Giving terrible medical advice. And Generating csam.

“Why does the population hate us? We’re only completely destroying the consumer electronics market, accelerating climate change, aiming to eliminate countless jobs, increasing power costs, and stealing the works of millions of people to feed our system all so we can get even more obscenely wealthy? Please clap.”

The water things still baffles me out. Like…just…cycle it. It’s a heat exchange system.
What do they do with the water? Pump thru once and then dump it?

Evaporative cooling. They’re trying to save on their electric bills by not using AC. Or sometimes they’re cooling the AC condensers themselves this way.
The amount of heat generated is so large they can’t properly cool it with a closed loop system.

And clean water just reduces duct maintenance costs.

I, for one, applaud anything that helps destroy the current Intellectual Property system,
Not the other things, though.

Agreed.
One single potentially good thing in the middle of bad things still adds to something bad.
My point is that this shit is happening either way no matter how shit it all is, so if we can recognize and extract one good thing out of it at least on the other side we’ll have one good thing, whilst if we don’t, we’ll have nothing good at all.

I am start to think they are going on the acceleroism theory to push the society to the limits and destroy all for change
Some think this could lead to a more equallytary society, some wants to make a more centralized and controlled by one power sort of society, there is 2 different school of thought on this.
But we are clearly going to have big changes

You forgot to mention that the product they’re sacrificing everything for is widely failing to meet expectations and that they will likely expect taxpayers to bail them out when their investments fail and threaten to take out the entire economy with themselves

Also in a few years when the AI generated nonsense code reaches a critical point and a ton of important systems grind to a halt, we’ll expect all of you that we fired to come back and un-fuck it for us so we can keep on making money. On temporary contracts and at reduced wages of course because times are tough.

But the crash is the moment where the people with actual tech knowledge will have leverage to say them: “pay me 10 times my standard rate or get bent”
CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 17 hours ago
I hope so! But if the economy gets bad enough I can see people getting desperate enough that they’ll all scramble and under-cut each other into oblivion just to secure the work. Time will tell I guess.

Software engineers predicted this would happen. The percentage of developers that love fixing other people’s code is essentially zero, fixing ai code is even smaller.
If they require low wages, they’ll only get the worst of the worst. Expect this phase to repeat until they are forced to hire for competence and pay above market rate required to convince senior developers to deal with not just the ai mess but all the failed attempts to turn it around.

To be clear, it only wildly fails to meet expectations in sectors that you hear about.
It’s most definitely medium expectations in sectors you don’t hear about because news and social media have a huge negativity bias because that gets views and engagement.

Contact centers, software development, automation, images and video analysis, data analysis, semantic search, entity recognition…etc
Many of these are cross-cutting across many sectors.

I have a feeling, that the tech sector has enough kompromat on a lot of important people to keep the bubble from bursting.
