Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 1 week ago:
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.
Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 1 week ago:
The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.
The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.
What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.
The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.
Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.

Dig up, mate.
None of this AI grift is meant to be treated as serious.
The very foundation it’s built upon is energised sand performing explicitly and purposefully inaccurate and imprecise calculations in an explosively cascading sequence.
How better to describe the result of this than as slop?
Much like any other religious adherence, I don’t care what you believe and subject yourself to personally, but my threshold for calling out and ridiculing is the same. When those beliefs and impositions are forced on non-believers without consent, which is what’s happening from this hype cycle.

You’re defending slop, reacting like the slime in Ghostbusters.
I’d usually call you a slopvangelical LLM thumper, but I’m trying to branch out.

- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 2 weeks ago:
Obesity is a term which explicitly defines an entity which has accumulated an excess of resources, to the point of causing damage to itself and the environment it inhabits.
If obesity conjures representations of normality for you, that’s a function of the gravitational distortion inherent from your current perspective.
Finally, I invoke this notion as literally a medically morbidly obese middle aged white guy, but I’d easily pass for a medium as a Seppo.

Any reality where financial obesity can me interpreted as a positive or desirable notion must conjure other fascinating paradoxes, please tell us more…

Any mind which can be blown by the lack of acceptance of pseudo-deterministic slop should be constrained to stewarding products used by only true believers.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 months ago:
I stream from my own library hosted on my fileserver.
I use a random playlist that increases the delay for track repeat plays proportionally to their play count. Albums are added as I find artists or themes I find interesting, movie and game scores are great for adding incidental randomness.
I’ve never payed or had an account on any streaming ‘service’.

- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 months ago:
Wireless data transmission should only ever be used for nomadic, temporary, and/or sacrificial links.
They’re useful for quick deployment, but are intrinsically brittle and terrible for resiliency and efficiency.
The longer the dependence on them for a given use case, the less defensible arguments in support of them become.
I’m all for the use of satellite delivery of internet services, but only when it’s used in conjunction with a broader roll out of hardwired infrastructure, at which point it can reasonably be relegated to serving as a secondary, backup diverse path.
