By “random business sentence generator” do you mean a language model? 👀

I like Vivaldi

The ‘s’ in MAGAs is for submissive.

Idk man. Shit’s so wild, they might never go down (fascism, ww3, complete meltdown of capitalistic markets due to french revolution levels of incompetent wealth inequality in some specific third world country out in the west, or some wild interpolation of them all).

Or they might go down next week when some specific big AI company starts selling off datacenter parts (get ready for dirt cheap racks)

Though, with datacenter parts, problem is, they’re mostly completely useless for consumers, because of hardware vendor lock in, most likely.

I guess in the end, I am happy I bought more storage space, gpu, and replacement cpu when I needed it, even if it seemed a bit high (now it’s cosmic)

If you need it for work/self now - best time is now, if you don’t need it for now - later.

Speculating for necessary items (even with rental bullshit) won’t help you most likely, and would just add mental pain.

Can always buy used, and older, if that works for you (though the prices are ridiculously also high)

I, for one, think it’s only canon the butlerian jihad happens with actual metal clanking robotic tri or hexa -pods against humans in an evangelical biblical battle where all the Christofascists, Judeafascists and Islamfascists unite for common good existence.

So it’s still early.

Many of these things don’t sound specifically wrong. Just heavily entrenched cultural artifacts that needed a catalyst for change to occur. Which, I, personally, don’t mind.

Salad bar and sleeper train is pure evil.

Isn’t that like 50k x 20k$ (rough costs estimate) = 1B$ of slowly realizing losses?

Social inertia.

I’ve heard of security by obscurity being accepted, but never heard of security by obtuseness being accepted as valid.

Some sort of beautiful justice can be imagined where women just sit on corners pouting how they can’t get a decent driver.

He comes from a long line of nobility and these tech lands were promised to him as a dowry

I think that thinking has the problem of treating AI as this “weird occult book/tool about funny dealings”, and not “government, megacorp sanctified close-to-AGI super-intelligence tool for you to use for free because benevolence” as it is institutionally lied to be.

Sanity is culture relative. You’re absolutely right, but also, this is a symptom of the culture.

Volla phone (has choice between ubuntu touch and android rom) seems pretty cool.

I can’t tell if “correct buts” is just a genius detail in this comment… Or a genius happy little bitflip accident.

Kinda correct. Money is only useful in trading. You should never store wealth in moneys (because inflationary fiscal policy that only fucks up the lower class)

Vaguely agree with the sentiment here.

Every single person I know who had helicopter parents ended up… a bit odd… in a bad way.

Applicability is in the eye of the beholder… of bureaucracy.

It is not really enforceable what people grow in their nook with led lights, or what they produce with metal lathes and metalworking tools, or what they mix up with common chemicals, and yet!

With EURion, printers/scanners that are capable of somewhat convincing replica go into the “definitely need to do this thing” money bracket I guess.

Printer instructions are also usually quite convoluted (don’t event know if anybody really knows the actual format), but definitely it’s not the actual document being sent to a printer (except some last decade printers perhaps), just the actual dithered inkjet patterns, though I am heavily guesstimating. And yet, from inkjet patterns, the printer knows to crash, presumably, though I dont know, the knowledge of currency steganography seems spotty…

There is a semi-infinite amount of processing that can be done on the slicing machine, so detecting gun-like item is wildly possible. Making your own slicer is the same as making your own photoshop (or hacking it). I definitely don’t see 3d printers having enough horses to figure out a non-watermarked-model produced geocode to have gunlike things. But! We forget! With legislation, everything is possible. Probably will require any decent (especially things like metal) 3d printer to have an ISIC specifically programmed to rebuild a model from geocode and do analysis :D (Honestly, completely easy with current technology, MNIST 99.99% accuracy fits into 10k transistors or so)

But I guess this assumes same amount of know-how and confident skills that they had in 90s. It will probably all crash and burn and make all honest customers very unhappy.
