Empty husks who gladly shed the stuff that makes us human in exchange for whatever this is.

Have you ever spoken with Dan Luu? He seems to spend an awful lot of time on trying to prove you’re wrong

I got a kick out the hint of exasperation in you voice when you said “Win what?” That’s a lot of us when having to talk to AI boosters about this subject.

It makes it like 1000x weirder that the Dutch and Taiwan are conspiring together to drive up the prices of GPUs because Taiwan used to be a Dutch territory. A Dutch East India Company island. If the new NVidia chip family isn’t called Tulip they missed a step.

Whether its genAI slop, data centers, RAM shortages, previous tech scams, or even political corruption, I can't help but think the perpetrators care more about being called out for doing the heinous things, rather the actual *doing* of said heinous things (read: scams). So don't talk about it plz!!!

Do you have a potential plan to write a book on what we are going to do when the internet crashes? And…perhaps we should buy Thomas Guides? Just a thought.

Business media is truly more performative than sports media. All hat, no cattle.

When I worked at a large tech company, they regularly included stuff like Channel Stuffing To Juice You Numbers as explicitly forbidden and unethical. It was considered an extreme violation of customer trust, and eyed as deliberate bribery.

Alternatively, they do know but are well aware that it's so repulsive to normal people that vocalizing it would kill their argument

personally if i was particularly convinced AI is, well, AI I'd be deeply unsettled by the basic economic reality that the continued existence of a novel form of life is entirely contingent on its habitat- megacorporate server farms- continuing to function despite losing money

not quite, signs as in the philosophical concept of signs. a preprogrammed machine does not work it has to *interpret* the sign, as in, correctly understand the sign without having it explained in advance

It would be interesting to see a picture one of those wearhouses filled with unused GPUs. That would basically be a proof of a set up.

The money god demands only one thing from its disciples and it ain’t empathy.

They left those principles behind when long ago in the crypto bubble

At least Jensen has no problem paying his wealth tax…lol

these people think everyone has a price that can buy out their morals and it is fucking disgusting

I love the delivery of "win what?" Lol

Ask any of those playing defense to lend the same dollar to 67 people at the same time and calculate the true rate of return when half of the folk don't pay it back. When their eyes gloss over and they mumble a few cuss words give them a ticket to China. Huang already bought his.
