  Captain obvious there. This is what happens when you keep pulling the levers that dump your economy into a fucking depression, jack tariffs up for no reason, burn your trade agreements, and slash what production you have left by freaking out. beating up, and forcefully deporting the immigrant labor force AND tourists. Fucking prices go up to unaffordable range, hence, FUCKING INFLATION! Soon inflation will outpace wage growth for 99% of Americans. But I guess we’re ok with that as long as the billionaires are safe and constantly draining the system.

  This dude is just throwing all kinds of ninja smoke on the floor trying to get out from under that Epstein File case. He’s already “DOGE’D” everything he just said out of existence. He basically wants Grok everywhere but without saying it because he doesn’t want to show Elon he still loves him. But he can’t enforce this beyond his own government which he is still crippling at the moment. That white house page is like a giant tweet poster for Orange Chicken Little and serves as a distraction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Say no to 72 hour work weeks. Working more hours does not increase quality of work or even quantity, but is does increase stress and suicide rates. Stop accepting it’s OK to be ground into dust just so you can barely earn a living. Tell those CEO’s to take their jobs and shove it, especially in Sililcon Valley. That place is no longer the pinnacle of technological innovation it was in the late 90’s. It’s been nothing but a guilded shithole bastion for technocrats.

  Looks like it’s Sam Altman’s turn to ram his hand up there to make the puppet talk now. That is word for word what that tech douche nozzle says.

  He should also be leaning back in chair and getting said drink and food all over his shirt. Leaning over like that to drink is just too much effort. If the chair does not lean back, then some of those wheels should be off the floor to accommodate leaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D Printing Patterns Might Make Ghost Guns More Traceable Than We Thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  From the article:

  “Garrison said his comments represent his own views and not those of the San Bernardino Sheriff’s department. He also cautioned that what he’s doing is in its infancy and it might be years before authorities can reliably match a gun to the machine that made it, if they can do it at all.”

  At best it’s a lead which a good investigator would use to find other leads. It’s extremely far fetched one but better than nothing. It’s good that he noted this can’t really be used to convict in a criminal trial. At worst, which is my concern, lazy investigators just saying “the computer is right” and getting the wrong guy. The lazy investor scenario happens a lot with shitty technology portrayed as CSI bullshit, especially when these garbage companies tack “AI” on to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. But that whole honor system and gentleman’s agreements went right out the window in 2016. They had 4 years to see that coming and really didn’t do much to stop it; not even a slick behind the scenes move. Just sat there and let it happen. Had an ace in their sleeve and decided to keep it in a locked up safe for the Donvict to crack right open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because “High Road” and “Moral Victories” were their focus and always pretend to act surprised when the goal posts are moved by the republicans. At least that’s one reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm doing my part!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what’s also shitty about recycling? The companies that pick that bin in some areas throw it in another bin which gets shipped an “out of country” recycling company to make it someone else’s problem. In the shipping process, that plastic falls off into the ocean making a worse problem now than just throwing it into regular waste management. Also, the process to recycle is more toxic than just throwing it away because the companies use really old processes; like paper for example. I gave up recycling except for metals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can streamline all they want and keep pumping out forgettable content. Nothing tops great makeup work and special effects. “American Werewolf in London” transformation scene will always haunt me and I will never forget the title of that movie.

  Microsoft’s AI, which is OpenAI, is approved for Defense Contracts. cnbc.com/…/openai-wins-200-million-us-defense-con… It even has an ominous project name which was posted to a public site which I cannot seem to recall at the moment.

  That’s quite a bold statement to make since he now has US military contracts. What is he making cupcakes for the Pentagon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Verizon or another telecom will buy them out and then sell it to AT&T or cut a deal with Comcast when they’re done fucking it up. I’m glad they accomplished this, and I hope they prosper but I’m really pessimistic about telecom companies and their out of control government supported monopolies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember when the Pentagon spent something like 600 million dollars in new accounting software to find the missing 400 million dollars? Something like that. I’m guessing this deal was made when they were still buddies and the Pentagon is just now getting around to it considering the speed of government is slower than constipated molasses. I’m also imagining someone just rubber stamping anything coming across their desk and this is how we got here. If there is any hope, Grok will be shoved into a corner doing nothing except earning dividends for that ketamine fueled moron and and fall in line with the Pentagon’s egregious wasteful spending that nobody in congress seems to care about.

  My last EA game was Battlefield 3 and I have never purchased an EA game since. Has that stopped EA? No. Why? People will buy it anyway because once their friends buy it, they have to buy it too. Companies all know gamer heard mentality. Your best bet is to slap that digital copy out of your friends’ hands right onto the floor. I don’t know how you do that, but that would be a nice thing to have.

  The point of the thread was for the influencers to fucking go and get a real job because they’re just rotting brains anyway. It started with tide pods and it’s grown into the exact thing you just stated. All that manosphere bullshit for example. You don’t think all those podcasts, Twitch, and whatever the fuck else today’s teenagers could get their hands on had any influence whatsoever from from all these dipshit people? We were all fucking teenagers so get off that “BRO I WAS A FUCKING TEACHER” high horse. It’s just worse now because they’re constantly bombarded by stupid fucking ideas. Welcome to the failure of the education system! Sorry you had to eat shit daily to find out I guess!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok got a Nazi patch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you slap them with the actual, documented footage taken by the US military video, photos, and paper record of these camps with the EXPLICIT INTENTION to make sure people don’t say “they made all that up” they will still say, “They made all that up.” If you keep going to Twatter for information, you’re basically a idiot at this point and deserve what’s coming for being so misinformed. That goes the same if you use Grok for anything. Let elon run all that into the ground and let it die already. My point is, bad press is good press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Viewers like you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that somehow Big Bird and friends were a threat of any sort to society should tell you what kind of asshole they chose to be. Social media platforms like twatter and meta justify in their minds their assholery. Sesame Street didn’t stand a chance against the onslaught of digital dipshit soapboxes.

  Folks, ask yourselves, what game is out there that REALLY needs a 5090? If you have the money to piss away, by all means, it’s your money. But let’s face it, games have plateaued and VR isn’t all that great.

  Nvidia’s market is not you anymore. It’s the massive corporations and research firms for useless AI projects or number crunching. They have more money than all gamers combined. Maybe time to go outside; me included.
