worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.
take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they’d quit on the spot. especially since they’d be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.

No, I dont use it.
I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don’t need an AI erasing a mountain to consume its coal underneath it to tell me bullshit.

Line must goes up until it hits a ceiling, then system collapses… but line go up again!

remember that ram drive that gigabyte made like 20+ years ago?
That worked by putting sticks of ram in it, with… i think AA batteries? to maintain the data during power downs?
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 1 day ago:
AI is the last great bubble.
And it, like all bubbles, will pop.
You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.
You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.
Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.
Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.

- Comment on Meta could make social media posting immortal — and we should all cancel our Facebook accounts right now 2 days ago:
probably wont delete the other data either. just make it so the profile doesnt show as existing anymore.
This companys are addicted to data and will never give it up.
- Comment on Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction 4 days ago:
You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.

“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 4 days ago:
Even if you limit it to 720p, if it were to be even a quarter as popular as youtube, the bandwith and storage requirements would still be astronomical.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 4 days ago:
spite and hatred are incredibly powerful motivator.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 4 days ago:
Theres a reason that youtube has no real competitor.
because the amount of data that gets uploaded to youtube every day, every hour, is unfathomable.
I dont even know if its possible to create a proper competitor to youtube at this point. Just from a data center/harddrive point of view alone, the amount of money would be so staggering as to be impossible for anyone but another giant evil company to have a hope at being able to afford it.
- Comment on Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel 1 week ago:
They literally wear his symbol on their forehead with the maga hats.
So no, not only can they not spot the antichrist, they actively embrace him.

We need to make punching nazi’s normal again.
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 1 week ago:
Electric cars existed long before the 2010s.
Late 19th/Early 20th century had about 1/3rd of all cars on the road be electric.
Long before lithium batteries were ever a thing.
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 1 week ago:
yep.
SHould be a blanket ban on miraculous battery technology stories until they are actually in production and proven.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 1 week ago:
kinda like gamers in general.
Cry, and cry, and cry, and stir up a big shit storm about whatever the latest greatest grievance is… Then continue to speak with their wallet by shoveling hundreds of dollars to the companies doing all the atrocious shit they hate and complain about.

It really should be a crime to post pictures like this without saying who it is.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 week ago:
never underestimate AMDs ability to shoot itself in the foot when its not under immediate threat of collapse/bankruptcy.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 2 weeks ago:
i really hope nvidia collapses when the AI bubble pops. They’ve been more harm than good for consumers for too long.

- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 2 weeks ago:
Scepter is the only brand I know of that still makes Dumb TVs.
But the screen quality on them can be a real roll of the dice.
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 2 weeks ago:
just get rid of Smart TVs in general. Go back to simple dumb TVs.
If I want smart features, I can slap a Roku or something else on the TV.

- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 2 weeks ago:
I switched to Linux when Windows 7 became EoL.
Anyone paying attention to what they were doing with 10, knew what would be coming with 11… and somehow its even worse than expected… thanks to the sudden appearance of the greatest environmental disaster of our time… AI.

- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 2 weeks ago:
Would the United States?
No.
Would Trump?
I don’t think theres a single thing that Trump wouldnt do, he is such a infantile, reactionary, egomaniacable manbaby that I can see him doing literally anything, if it makes him feel powerful or if he thinks it’d give him some kind of edge/opportunity.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 2 weeks ago:
no no, you rake fires.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 2 weeks ago:
Yep, and that added complexity to make a dumb TV smart, just means theres more parts that are likely to die and make ethe TV not work.
Its bullshit that the only way to get large dumb TVs anymore is to roll the dice on a Scepter… Which, given how they procure their screens, could either give you a great TV or a shit TV.
