  Don’t get me wrong, I certainly think AI/LLMs have their uses, more as an aid to humans. Medical diagnostics, front line customer service, clerical, every industry could benefit from having a computer doing basic to even advanced level support. What we’re seeing now though is all these execs think that the tech is at the level where it can replace entire workforces, and that’s where the fallacy lies. Imo, humans should always make the final judgement, especially when these decisions involve affecting other people. It has the ability to improve and enrich lives, but the way things are going is that they’ll be used to make the line go up at the expense of people.

  If I had to guess, the entire reason they’re shoving AI integration into absolutely everything is to try to make it irreplaceably viable, if only to keep it relevant. The bubble pops when VC funding decides that maybe AI isn’t the holy grail they thought it was and the market on it tanks (bringing every associated stock down with it). Personally, I’m wondering if this bubble is what brings the house of cards down with it, because the amount of money that is all in on AI is absolutely insane, and for no good reason.

  I’m fairly certain this is why the current administration is so vehement about not letting anyone regulate AI. We know it’s bubbling, they know it’s bubbling. It’s only a matter of time before the market finds irrefutable proof that AI has been oversold and investors bail.

  Eh it’s a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don’t have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it’d be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I’ve been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom’s, but money’s tight right now.

  The only thing I can gather is pushing whatever possible boundaries exist once they’ve won capitalism, including the diddling. Either that, or they realize once one acquires a certain level of immunity, they can carry out their sick fantasies. I dunno, burn them all.

  So apparently around Los Angeles there’s a supposed begging “cartel”, wherein some of the folks who beg at stoplights and freeway off ramps are actually working for an organized ring. The way it was explained was that this group takes the lionshare of their donations and offer protection, food, and safe sleeping areas. I don’t know how true this is, but I’ve heard it from quite a few unrelated people, one of which being a cop, so either there’s some truth to it or it’s a very elaborate hoax to get people to stop giving beggars money.

  They more just want to see people suffer, “for the lulz.”

  I have a family friend who moved to Idaho to be around more like-minded people, as they put it. She thinks everything going on is comedy, and is getting a kick out of watching people lose their stuff over what Fox says isn’t happening. Her and her husband have their heads buried so far up their asses it’s insane. She also conveniently forgets her kids are half Hispanic (their bio dad is Mexican), and then wonders why they tell her to go fuck herself.

  There’s a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It’s maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.
