The evidence should show up in the productivity metrics of the economy, beyond the stock market bubble.

Until then, it remains unsubstantiated.

All so predictable.

Silicon Valley: "if we could just steal things, our numbers would go up!"

When someone's position/bonus depends on it, yet can't find a plausible argument for it: "it is inevitable!"

Every company that's saying "oh 75% of our code is written by AI" is just lying for the Wall Street cameras. There's simply no way that's true.

Like robberies in broad daylight are often not recognized as such, so too for AI.

The AI industry steals so blatently and openly (data, creative work, labour, resources, clean water, etc.) that many fail to see what is happening under their own noses.

Hmm, 800 billion. Should think about rebranding a company to really rhyme with this one...

Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

The Kinahan cartel is accused of running a global criminal network involved in drug trafficking, arms smuggling and money laundering. Despite international pressure and sanctions, the footage shows the group’s leaders continuing to appear publicly in Dubai.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

board rooms thinking paying couple of extra points on taxes is like cutting off an arm and a leg

now it's bombs into schools instead

billionaires being billionaires

if they cared for others, they wouldn't be

I doubt the last part is true. Very much.

Idk. I'm often surprised it does as well as it does. But equally often dismayed how unusable some of the attempts are.

What confuses the conversation is the assumption (?) that all software dev tasks are equal. Also implicit in these statements is that human intelligence adds nothing over LLM.

I'd read this dystopian sci-fi.

Trump has yet to lower flags to half staff.

He did for Charlie Kirk within an hour of his death.

both sound like something to avoid

hard choices

is jail better for health though?

CEO. So much genius.

Social media is a decade+ long regret and a mistake. Enjoy your other activities.

Browsers are fingerprinted. Plus the many other ways your data is collected.

The day tiktok doesn't get your data is the day when they stop sharing videos freely.

There are no free lunches. If you're not paying for it...

I will never click on a TikTok link.

And I'm sharing this because it's social media and sharing is what we do here.

😁🤪😂😂😂

The interesting bit is that everyone in Silicon Valley has known Larry Ellison is scum for at least three decades by now.

But nothing changes. It's always about if one can catch some scraps falling off of the billionaire's table.

Money is power.

Politicians are only the errand boys. Dirty energy is yesterday’s garbage. Want to stop this current wave of madness, tech billionaires need to be brought down.

yes, the capital class is inclined to fascism, and they don't actually care about us and never have. it's interesting how people thought these guys were different, just because they had a good sales pitch but we've been here before. it's just now they have accumulated so much capital and power.

And Torvalds and Woz are entirely happy where they are and what they have.

Because greed and domination over others was never the motivation.

They are more intellectually balanced compared to Zuckerberg, Andreessen, Gates, Jobs, Musk, Thiel and so many others.
