  If the concept of rent must exist, at least have it go to the government. It’s obvious that in private hands it will eventually favor the most rich, and it should not be used as a means to speculate. Unfortunately, political leaders never learn, and if they see thing X that moves a lot of money that they can trickle down off of, fuck the consequences of thing X, that thing is going to be allowed. Crypto, AI, housing, cloud PCs, they will kneel away their autonomy bit by bit.

  Reddit right now is banning any criticism of ICE. Reddit covered up for Ghislaine’s account (maxwellhill), even though they’ve attended very public events with her as CEO Ellen Pao revealed, and they have narcissistic megalomaniac psychopath Jibberish (deliberately mistyping) who has trained decades on how to be the best psychopath they can be on social manipulation MMOs also heading and manipulating their “conservative” subreddit, who subscribing to also seems to be a flag within the system to begin showing you subs engineered to manipulate you with their messaging.

  AI will reach true intelligence when it is able to tell its users they probably shouldn’t be providing them that information.

  Doesn’t help they literally said they would stop producing chips and that they have done so.

  Part of the problem is lack of interference, they are not regulating the cartels behind this and with Trump they won’t be because all it takes is a bribe.

  If China wants to win against these assholes, all they have to do is help develop open alternatives to TSML and ASML and not invade Taiwan so these assholes have to bear the brunt of the AI bubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a pretty big tell that it has nothing to do with AI, it’s just price gouging for price gouging sake’s. Data center setups don’t use consumer level PSUs and CPUs. If anything, their price should be going down given that the rise in RAM, SSDs, and GPUs are leading to people building less PCs and waiting longer to do so. The supply for these components should be going up due to excess supply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “USA stuff” is affecting the whole world right now. You are coming to check out an English based social network for non-“USA stuff”. What did you expect?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you actually know what happened at Tiananmen Square?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to think I’m trying to justify the Tiananmen Square when I’m just putting one particular incident in perspective to how ICE usually acts. Your gross oversimplifcations seem to want to act like whataboutism to how much worse the Tiananmen Square by portraying it into a caricature of “a massive student protest into a slurry that they pushed into the sewers”. It got pretty bad, a lot worse than any particular ICE incident up to date, but in a lot of ways it was served to the people just like ICE is being served up. People in the US should really inform themselves better with nuance, because the nuance is that it’s far closer to how ICE is acting: en.wikipedia.org/…/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests…

  This is only a year into Trump’s second term and it’s already this bad. Just look at how long it took Hitler.

  AI generated slop, ICE would not have stopped, ICE would have ran her over and told you to ignore your lying eyes.

  Some instances in other platforms don’t synchronize user comments in the same way. Their comments are still removed within the threads, but you can still go to the user page and check them out which makes more sense IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds: "The AI Slop Issue Is *NOT* Going To Be Solved With Documentation"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what isn’t good content? Suggesting something based purely on presumptions. He was banned from lemmy.world and in true lemmy.world fashion they deleted his entire comment and post history, so you can’t even normally look it up in the modlog.

  What he said was:

  man slop

  Yes Please

  touch man slop

  alias lick=“rm”

  lick man slop

  Ironically, he was banned from Fuck AI for posting AI slop too.

  The reason the user was banned from lemmy.world was apparently ban evasion from users who self-identified as attention whores. The original account seems to have been banned for multiple unflagged NSFW posts, and other inappropriate posts, including their last one where they seem to have admitted to having a vendetta against lemmy.world and that they were basically going to shitpost AI all over it.

  Nothing wrong with the comments that were removed in this thread, but damn the irony of making those comments and who was making them.

  It doesn’t matter as long a the supply continues to grow. It also helps make the rest of the world less dependent on a US hegemony that’s now going sour. When investment firms are buying up so much inventory for data centers that aren’t even operational, a big part of that exists as an excuse for market manipulation by the really big hitters that have their presence in those cartels anyway. Once they start feeding their own demise and market competition, they will back off pretty quickly and will likely saturate the market from the surplus inventory they are clearly hoarding under bullshit excuses to try to eliminate and buy up the nascent competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s to hoping that it increases pressure to break the cartels and start getting the ball rolling on more independent foundries.

  Oh yeah, that backlash has totally stopped them from getting away with it, you are totally right.

  Ask RAM prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The game was not developed with generative AI. AI was used in promo and textures for a very limited time and then was substituted. If this is the war engine you are running, I want way off of it, my beef with modern AI is way different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So they lost because the promo material that seldom makes it into the game included AI this time around, for a very short while? Do you think that makes the people so judgemental look better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We’re All So F’d | NVIDIA x Palantir, Global Surveillance, "Pre-Crime" Arrests, & AI [GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They are still selling to you. 5090s “oh, they are back to MSRP again, buy buy buy!”, consoles that use them like the Nintendo Switch 2, etc. They are still selling to consumer markets, they just don’t want to sell to the markets that call them out on the monopolistic bullshit.

  Now you have another reason not to buy NVIDIA: with the US being the corrupt hellhole that is now turning into an authoritarian regime and with them being willing to work with Palantir, it’s only a matter of time between the NVIDIA App software they force you to install becomes a surveillance tool. Because your private data is also much more profitable to them than you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We’re All So F’d | NVIDIA x Palantir, Global Surveillance, "Pre-Crime" Arrests, & AI [GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have boycotted them during the RTX 50xx if they cared about boycotting. As it is, people who have continued to buy into them have helped finance their own irrelevance.

  Oh no, they used gen AI filler art which they immediately replaced with human one. They did it the one way they could do it right, let’s demonize them into submission while the flagrant violators get away with murder because why bother?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit global rank is going down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the latest from Huffman: npr.org/…/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-its-time-we-gr…

  Basically, rather than focus on quality, they just shifted to the same subjective engagement bait that also happens to be easy to manipulate on the backend and almost impossible to prove that’s plaguing all major social networks. It’s easy to see too, they let major subs go to hell by letting special interests and the power hungry just go nuts, and they now only show up if you really search for them. Do things like adding a sub like r/conservative, and the whole world view it feeds you is completely different and tailored by troll factories, bots, and the like. They are crowd sourcing propaganda bubbles just so they can feed off of the scraps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Turing test has been inverted.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because I’m so frigging hot, I’m so frigging thirsty, I’m so hungry, that I think I’m hallucinating the turtle. I’ve been trudging through a desert way and now a turtle pops up in the desert out of nowhere. Is the turtle even real, can I not distinguish reality anymore … would eating it help quench my thirst and anger? Is it wrong to feel no emotion?

  I don’t think the test itself is designed to measure emotional response so much as the emotional nuance and the 35 ms latency delay glitch in the Nexus-5 models when dealing with it.
