"We made a Bill Cosby room and women still won't date us. I guess we need to install a Fourth Reich to mandate forced pregnancy and remove no fault divorce."
I remember Zuckerberg with all of his heart was utterly convinced we were going to be buying real life milk with second life avatar knockoffs with no feet.
I totally forgot that one. Something like displaying MP3s and PDFs as physical discs and books has some niche worth but shopping in vr sounds so pointless and out of touch that i can't believe they actually tried to go for it. It makes the 80 dollar in-VR shirts seem tame by comparison.
lmao, that's so out of touch to the average american. The grocery store isn't a social experience for the average american, they don't want to be there. Its the reason why ordering groceries is catching on in the first place, to take that and remove literally all the convenience is baffling!
one of the lasting effects of the pandemic is that all the 24 hour big supermarkets near me closed overnight during lockdown and most of them never reopened so I can't go shopping at 3am when there's no people around
it reminds me of that shitty packard bell navigator software for win95 that was like "a desktop is too confusing, let's put a picture of a living room and all the programs are in the bookshelf so that non computer people can understand it" as if the then-new start menu wasn't user friendly enough
like why would I want to walk around a store to buy groceries online it's literally a step backwards from just typing "coffee beans" into a search bar and getting coffee beans
just as hitting start is faster than... "oh you want music? click the door to the living room and use the record player"
I bet it kinda bites being able to understand and able to rationalize the oligarchy actions. We don’t get to ask “why would they do that”.
They are absolutely not in this to be kind to us.
As we have been saying for 3 years on that tt app, that now bent a knee🤬
"Nnnooooo!! You're supposed to let us use copyrighted materials FOR FREE in the interest of TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT or you're a LUDDIIIIITTTTEEE!!! 😭"
As someone trying to write a cyberpunk story with a character and setting I cooked up, when you call them lazy for not making original IP, they go Chernobyl mode.
they lost everyone's money on purpose, this is a long power grab coming. how will all the freedom bros fight the US Army with a bunch of BTC and debt..
David ball sacks still fuming that he started a bank run and he had to grovel on twitter for a bailout when the bank collapsed, so now they tearing apart all consumer guardrails.
During the pandemic people were holding meetings around campfires in Red Dead Redemption 2 and tech bros thought workers would want to wear a headset to recreate in VR the most hated physical space in every office building. 🤷
We need to bring people out of those spaces and back to the office…but like RDR2, people should be allowed to shoot their boss in the face with a sawn off 10g hammer gun. Let’s face it, it would make the company more efficient, and a nicer place to work.
Also it's kinda comical that they want people to conduct meetings using VR AND they want to force people to return to working in offices, which defeats the point of the VR.
they need to realize that for the first time since like forever ago tech is finally in a place where everyones comfortable with it now and there's not much room for improvement
They're flipping shit because people decided to start going outside, and holding conversations again. "We will bring the world closer toge..th..e.r.... NO. Not like that. >:("
Usually, its people whining about the right to a business model. Meta could have owned AR if they had done a far better job. The could have done a better job by acting more ethically.
You want hoverboards and flying cars? We can go one better - how about fascism, the fourth Reich, and nuclear Armageddon?
Frankly all we ever wanted back in the day was a dislike button on FB, and instead we got the fucking ‘time line’, so nuclear war was a logical next step.
That's a pretty accurate timeline if events. They think that just because they have 3 ARs in mom's basement that they're safe.
Completely negating the fact that it still takes some one without a grass allergy to make them useful. 😈
Here, I just released my game of the year video today, so everyone watch it. It's mostly indie games I focus on, and let me tell you there are some really amazing picks on the list. I should know, I picked 'em!
Yep! Also the guy who did such a beautiful, naturalistic job of portraying a fantasy game Orc as a protagonist, people got way out in the weeds of Warcraft lore instead of noticing the triumph that entailed.
And also the son of an absolute once-per-generation creative mind & talent.
"Silicon Valley made the modern world.." Yeah, that's the fucking problem dipshit 😩 As a nerd who was bullied in school, where the hell are all those bullies now that their skills have a legit target?
People aren’t robots for the most part. Inside both parties is a gradient of interests and viewpoints. Get them all thinking and debating. It’ll slow them down if nothing else.
Slowing them down won't keep them from getting there eventually. You have to be prepared to sacrifice quite a bit to survive, although the amount will tend to be less if you can change yourself to fit in.
They were totally gonna be nice and good and cool but then a CEO getting executed fucked it all up. They'd had enough profit, hacking up healthcare to extract more was off the table until one guy got blastoed
Unfortunately my lawyer has advised me that posting anything about solutions to economic and political problems that is more substantive than flippant memes is "the dumbest fucking thing you could do right now"
Now they want to sell us AI, like that's anything new. They should just admit when they're out of new ideas. Maybe they should reign in their crop of short term investors and finally hold stupid executive decisions accountable. Instead of selling us outdated ideas and laying off entire dev teams.
The math behind AI is comparably old indeed; the use of stochastic gradient descent to train multilayer perceptrons has been around since 1967! The major thing that changed is that hardware for it got a lot better.
I don't think you'll find a person who claims AI hasn't improved over the years, but to suggest it needs entire power plants or threaten to blackout all of Silicon Valley is absurd. Nobody asked for fake thesis levels of AI and nobody wants it to threaten entire industries. Society doesn't want it.
Men are just naturally better at cleaning and childcare. They need to realize that and get out of being a slave to corporations when they could be nurturing their family
Shicklgruber started WW2 because nobody liked his shitty paintings, trump ran for office because nobody acknowledged his self proclaimed genius & success (plus Obama roasting him), and musk et al can’t get over the fact they’ll never be one of the cool kids, so have decided to burn it all down. Yay!
Also can't handle mockery. Musk getting booed when Dave Chappelle brought him on stage, and Trump getting mocked by Obama at the Press Correspondents' dinner. I seriously wonder if these two things were the butterfly wing flaps that got us here.
they didn't even invent those either, they took and profited from open source projects and research funded and offered for free by public universities. only to cut off their funding for being "woke"
No, that's wrong. What they're really saying is "I guess we have no choice but to buy the government and run it. Gotta let us cheat and spy on the public more to keep those sweet $$ coming in!"
Unironically true. War has always been the go-to when the economy doesn't work or the government has serious financial problems. It is no coincidence that WWII happened after the Great Depression, for example.
Leaders have also used war to reunite a tetchy population against a foreign enemy. Look at Thatcher and the Falklands - nobody fucking cared, but it distracted everyone from her raping the entire global economy.
I mean they could try to focus on creating technology that actually improves people lives… nah, that’s ridiculous. They’ll double down on trying to extract more wealth from the lower classes and make everything shittier.
“Hey, this AI could be really useful. Ooooor, and hear me out on this; we could use it to ensure that nobody can ever believe a piece of information again, put 70% of people out of work, and possibly accidentally create Skynet. Who’s in?”
Nothing quite like getting a bald spot for corporate's grift.
NFTs probably wouldn't have been so hated if art theft wasn't so rampant and they waited until they had a more environmentally sound algorithm before launching. But they didn't get it right first so it hurt so many people.
It seemed as though everyone was making money off of my art but me around that time. My sketchbook pages got turned into nfts and made like $100k without me and no recourse. I could use $100k. Some people even said they liked "my nfts" and didn't realize they were buying stolen art. :/
And this is why therapy should be a mandatory requirement for high power positions in business/politics. Cause you don't get those kind of jobs unless you're a barely functioning sociopath
Look at Hitler’s inner circle of deplorables - if those represented the ‘master race’ then we should’ve done the decent thing, gone extinct, and let the cockroaches have a shot. Trump’s cadre of weirdos give off the same energy.
Oh, it's worse than 4chan. We got someone who appears to be a 🥝 user as one of the DOGE Dorks. I wouldn't be surprised if Musk used that wretched site as well
I think what makes it all worse is that these dinks thought they could fly under the radar and no one would discover what horrible people they are, which says nothing as much as how stupid they think we are and why they think they have the right to rule us. They're idiots who think we're idiots.
No, but I was pointing out it wouldn’t be entirely negative, since the penalty for animal abuse in this country is pathetically weak, like a slap on the wrist.
I never said I wanted 4Chan to be president. I’m just saying Trump and Musk are somehow worse. I’m never for the killing of minorities. It’s obviously morally bad, and gives no benefit whatsoever, despite what the devoted of Donny’s cronies seem to think.
Like I'm sorry you're such unpopular dweebs you had to go nazi to feel loved but taking it out on the rest of us is just gonna make you even more hated
I'd tell them to look in a mirror but self-reflection isn't in their wheelhouse

It’s a reference to the bored ape NFTs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bored_Ape
NFTs are crypto, crypto is a scam.
True.
But if that was the case, society would’ve already done a long time ago
It’s a scouting expedition and you get to see things spread out. I can do without other people, but I will always go out for groceries.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU A.I. "ARTISTS"!

We need the whole cast.

Then can your representatives and let them know, frequently, what you want from them.
Just now, so did I.
😁

Pricks
Also this makes me think how much of our current predicament is directly caused by insecure men who can't handle being told "No"?
Pride is a hell of a drug
Fuck the tech bros and their shitty kingdom. lol
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
ME: I would like smarthome stuff that is reliable, easy to configure, & secure
THE TECH INDUSTRY: fuck you
ME: okay then just bring back google reader
THE TECH INDUSTRY: WE MUST GENOCIDE THE PARASITES
The bros are the type of dudes who went to Wall Street right after college and now come to SV because tech is the new investment bank
