In principle, yes, but hiding wealth is also like Rich Bastard 101 stuff.

The problem is that the winners don’t share. They exploit the others. That’s exactly what got us here in the first place.

Any economist or data scientist should be able to pretty easily compare the economic course to a forecast of what would have happened with minimal interference.

Will we listen? No, because experts don’t count for shit in the US anymore.

Yo momma so fat she doesn’t have a waist size, she has a Schwarzschild radius.

You callin’ me fat?

I’m so tired of capitalism.

Active GPS burns through battery pretty quickly. AirTags and the like work because any iPhone that walks within range will share the location anonymously.

There’s an Australian neuroscientist named Allan Snyder who references her while discussing savant-like skills and the systems and processes that impede them.

True, sure. I’m just saying the overall price of games has gone down significantly over time. An upward correction makes some sense. I’m not cheering it on, just trying to help frame the circumstances.

Ocarina of Time cost $116.91 at launch, accounting for inflation.

Edit: the original Legend of Zelda cost $144.89 at launch, also after inflation.

“We’re having trouble with AI solving problems. Let’s solve the problem with AI.”

It’s not strictly a bad idea or doomed or anything, but it makes me sad.

I’ve heard blood can substitute for egg. Maybe a giant shit omelet instead?

Am I allowed to mix concrete with the blood of traitors to create a (probably very large) shit emoji?

I would suggest redirecting slightly. Every single publicly traded tech company eventually fully enshittifies into predatory ad/data revenue generation due to the fundamental requirement that they not only generate profit, but that they consistently generate growth.

I could create an amazing app, sell it for $5, and if 5 million people download it and I don’t sell out or incorporate and go public, I could just cruise on it and retire happily. There’s no intrinsic pressure to switch profit models because I don’t owe anybody shit.

They’ve been added to the watchlist.

Wait, is that the watchlist?

Yeah that’s the one. Whew, for a minute I thought we added them to the war planning chat.

Wait, fuck.

Repeat after me: LLMs do not have intelligence.

Neptune’s pretty young. We try not to sexualize it.

FYI, Onyx egregiously violates GPL and basically gives the finger to anyone who complains. Not that anyone is necessarily clean as a whistle and even so they’re miles better than Jeff “I dressed like a fascist before it was cool” Bezos.

I’m a big fan of Kobo, but they also used to have a connection with Walmart.

21 was a letdown for me because I read the book first. It’s a great read, fast, light, and fun. The movie just felt thin in comparison.

They already staged a coup to install him.
