I believe you mean scam?

It really does feel like this. But it can't go indefinitely. What may seem bleak today could look very different a year out. The velocity of this whole thing won't just apply to th…

I'm going to be very pumped when this comes crashing down. It's going to look a bit like oligarchs subsidizing consumer tech as they try to offload more ram than God could own.

The profit is in the stock price rising, not the actual revenue. They need stories to keep the stocks going up.

You're half right. UBI is probably the only path where humanity comes out OK in the not so distant future. But you don't give out UBI and let people become potatoes. You give out U…

I agree with your perspective re: the tone of the OP. But they hold a perspective that we should also give credence towards. Your main point is the most valid - wait for the final …

> The problem comes when the imagery is placed as a false value signal. If it is designed to send a signal of "this content took a lot of effort to produce because an image that wo…

It would definitely help and I'd support it. I would much rather pay a fixed cost to use the internet and remove all the poisonous crap we're stuck dealing with to "keep the intern…

I would be completely aligned to this proposal if you think the bought and paid for governments of the world would do it and all the influencers out there selling vulnerable demogr…

Don't know about boobies, but I would guess META/other infinite scroll products are this generation's cigarettes in terms of long term harm and we do a severe disservice to all you…

Yes, but it takes a lot of time to find a lie and very little time to conceive a lie. It's a losing battle as the percentage of honest citations drops (and it doesn't need to be a …

Yep..the online link posters hit close to home. Big reason I hardly even engage in discourse anymore. Got tired of verifying links that don't have the claimed content in them.

Lol, this same behavior comes up more often than you'd expect in academia too. Many many citations that nobody cross checks that also don't support the originally cited piece of in…

> We are very rapidly automating humans out of the academic publication loop here It's a sad thing. But the monetization and enshitification of journal publications over the decade…

You can't. This is a legitimate thing the government needs to step in and deal with on behalf of their people via legislation because their people cannot be reasonably taught to pr…

There's enough evil malware provider blame to go around.

Yvon is solid. Bezo's ex is good. There's plenty of gray, too, where they're trying to give a lot away or make life better for everyone. But, fundamentally,bro become a billionaire…

Some of the richest people the world has ever seen seem to tick all the same boxes as the least likeable and most devoid of love and empathy. If only some billionaires (trillionair…

Investors are buying into the fallacy that musk can continue to work as a hype man, rather than some visionary or innovator. They like that he can make stock numbers go up, seeming…

It's odd to me to watch so many very rich humans speedrun the destruction of humanity. Like, is there a world where we hit AGI and it actually works out for us?

We're maybe only the first half decade into it. Hopefully it doesn't last a century.

I thought you were talking about the US for a minute...

I'd feel better hearing this type of sentiment from someone with less vested interest in this type of sentiment.

He's effectively setting the pace of the trends. Objectively, Bitcoin was a grift and money laundering scheme. LLM valuations vs what they've made so far is probably also quite a b…

Make money while there's money to be made then pivot to the next scheme? Gaming > Bitcoin > LLMs > Robotics Jensen's job is to just be one step ahead of the market dynamics to keep…
