worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.

take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they’d quit on the spot. especially since they’d be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.

No, I dont use it.

I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don’t need an AI erasing a mountain to consume its coal underneath it to tell me bullshit.

Line must goes up until it hits a ceiling, then system collapses… but line go up again!

remember that ram drive that gigabyte made like 20+ years ago?

That worked by putting sticks of ram in it, with… i think AA batteries? to maintain the data during power downs?

AI is the last great bubble.

And it, like all bubbles, will pop.

You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.

You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.

Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.

Its garnering massive negative attention for its use, and for anyone stupid enough to adopt it at this point (cough intel cough)

Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.

i mean, i thought you were wanting to save money…

a predictable lemmy.ml user retort.

probably wont delete the other data either. just make it so the profile doesnt show as existing anymore.

This companys are addicted to data and will never give it up.

You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.

“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”

Even if you limit it to 720p, if it were to be even a quarter as popular as youtube, the bandwith and storage requirements would still be astronomical.

spite and hatred are incredibly powerful motivator.

Theres a reason that youtube has no real competitor.

because the amount of data that gets uploaded to youtube every day, every hour, is unfathomable.

I dont even know if its possible to create a proper competitor to youtube at this point. Just from a data center/harddrive point of view alone, the amount of money would be so staggering as to be impossible for anyone but another giant evil company to have a hope at being able to afford it.

“Hatred that kills has no place in our country” - Man trying to stop hateful people who want to kill from facing consequences of their actions.

They literally wear his symbol on their forehead with the maga hats.

So no, not only can they not spot the antichrist, they actively embrace him.

Electric cars existed long before the 2010s.

Late 19th/Early 20th century had about 1/3rd of all cars on the road be electric.

Long before lithium batteries were ever a thing.

Thats okay, we’re also tariffing the fuck out of everyone and alienating any and every trading partner to the point they are seeking to replace us with alternatives.

Surely that will fix everything.

simple solution to fix social security, at least, is to remove the cap on contributions, so the billionaires can pay their share.

I dont know what the fuck we’re gonna do about the debt though.

yep.

SHould be a blanket ban on miraculous battery technology stories until they are actually in production and proven.

Cause lets face it, if one of these miracle batteries using cheap, common materials with amazing capacity and longevity was real, it wouldnt take long for companies to jump on them.

How convenient that this seems to happen so often when power faces accountability.

I guess its just silly butterfingers right? Can happen to anyone.

I’m sure you or I would get the same grace and awshucks understanding.
