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 the coal underneath to tell me made up bullshit.

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

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 and claim its deleted.

These 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.

not to even mention the computational power required to process and transcode all that data from whatever format you upload it to, into whatever format the platform wants.

spite and hatred are incredibly powerful motivators.

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.

There is no real way to compete with youtube directly.

Only options are things that are not direct youtube competitors, Which are typically much smaller, possibly maintaining a narrow subject focus, and require monthly fees/subscriptions to access

Sounds like the end result of thinking empathy is a sin.

arresting those who are kind enough to help.

and conveniently, those people tend not to be republican.

Ford set the tone by pardoning Nixon.

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.

Also, Theres a much higher demand thanks to the modern resurgence of electric cars, for better, cheaper batteries.

Which means that current car and battery makers have a much bigger incentive to jump on large scale miracle battery technology, than they did in the 1970s. Just like computers have much increased demand for ram today than they did in the 1970s. 🙄

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.
