  • See, that’s a reasonable take I agree with for the most part, but I think it’ll play out a bit differently. Because these AIbro Technofascist dipshit Billionaires are so fucking stupid, instead of just pulling the plug on AI and sitting on the wealth of information like metaphorical dragons, they’ll continue pumping billions into larger and more complex models to try and “automate everything”, all the while fighting each other viciously, until they all run out of money when their AI-Powered techno-utopia where autonomous robots run everything never comes to pass.

    Meanwhile, instead of paying for the information hoards of the TechnoFascist Elites, people will begin self-hosting again, like with the Fediverse, because it’s just simply cheaper and more effective at letting people learn as groups and connect with each other.



  • Alright, I gotta hand it to them; this is by far one of, if not THE DUMBEST THING I’ve ever fucking read. It takes SKILL, DEDICATION, AND HARD WORK to be THIS fucking stupid. I’m genuinely impressed at how hard they’ve worked to divorce themselves from reality, it’s truly a marvel of cognitive restructuring. I’d say there’s no way they can top this, but we all know that they’ll find one in the next month, and it’ll make me question my sanity once again. Congratulations.




  • In modern economics, a massive change came about in the early 1970s. Productivity and profits decoupled from employee wages, and continued to rise while wages stayed flat. Fast forward 50 years, account for inflation and shifts in technology, and it’s easy to see that employee wages HAVEN’T RISEN in meaningful amounts for 50 years. Meanwhile, companies are making more money than ever.

    So, I’d say it was in the 70’s.
