- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 1 week ago:
The elite know what’s coming. There isn’t enough to keep economic growth going and sacrifices will have to be made, and that’s not going to be the top. That means something is needed to detect and remove “problems” before they get big.

Every time the CEO says AI, an investor will jizz millions all over the company.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
That’s every sector right now. They’re all aiming for the top 10% who earn as much as the bottom 90% put together. For computer hardware, that number is probably a lot worse.

- Comment on HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue 1 week ago:
It’s because the average USA citizen is economically irrelevant. The money is in the to 10% and the big corpos, especially AI with all the money sloshing around there. The 90% consumer market doesn’t matter as much these days.

MrWhosetheboss testen that. Turns out the main difference between a cheap and expensive phone is the amount of bloatware that comes with it.

Scammers make FB a lot of money.
EU is making a rule that would make FB liable to the financial damage of the scammers if they don’t remove scammer posts. Of course the platforms scream bloody murder.

Seems they got really tired of people bringing burner phones when visiting the USA.
- Comment on We can play that game too 3 weeks ago:
They’re free to go live in the wilderness, with no roads, no fire department, no water or electricity, no services whatever, and find out how much they’re actually benefiting from our collective.
That’s the neat part. They do try, repeatedly, and it always fails. A classic one is Grafton. It’s also known as A Libertarian Walks into a Bear because their little paradise got overrun by aggressive bears. Lack of public services will do that.
- Comment on Scheduling is hard 3 weeks ago:
A lot of what happens in business is performance theater, not actually being productive. It’s one of the reasons bosses like AI do much, because if gives a magnificent impression of doing lots of work, even if in some cases you have to hire more people to correct that slop afterwards.
It’s the same for going back to the office. They want to see the worker show being performed in the building even though working from home is usually more productive.
- Comment on Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure 3 weeks ago:
Yes. They’re busy buying everything already. They just need a financial crisis to get the rest for pennies on the dollar. After that it’s time for neo-feudalism.

and I owned nothing
Companies love that, until everybody is completely in debt and they learn you can’t seize property from people that don’t own anything.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 3 weeks ago:
“Hacked” is a bit much. It’s probably like the cameras on insecam.org, cameras plugged into that internet with no password or still on factory default like admin, 0000, 12345 and the like. That’s the security level of hanging a “keep out” sign on your bedroom door.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 4 weeks ago:
It might make players demand lower prices if some cheap AI slop is used in the game. That’s the thing publishers want to avoid. They want to sell cheap slop for full price and pocket the difference. That’s what it’s about in the end.
- Comment on We've done it, boys 4 weeks ago:
Like is often said, for many it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 4 weeks ago:
That reminds me how McDonald’s and other gaat food chains are struggling. People figure it’s too expensive for what you get after prices going up and quality going down for years. They forgot that people buy if the price and quality are good. Same with AI. It’s all fun if it’s free or dirt cheap, but people don’t buy expensive slop.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 4 weeks ago:
Japan has a habit of doing this. The birth rate cratered, productivity is not that great and economic growth is famously low. Most workers do a form of performance theater, an actual “we pretend to work”.

Tuned for optimal exploitation.
