You are simultaneously mocking the free press while also mocking the hardships of people in Ukraine.

When the way you talk is identical to how tankies talk, people are going to call you a tankie.

Just tax the wealthy. They obviously have too much money. When you have that much money you don’t just have it in a bank account having inflation eating away at it.

You have to invest it but the investment market is oversaturated. There are no longer any good investments so you have to pump up the bad investments and dump it before everyone else does.

A stock market is supposed to be a way to streamline making connections between people that have money to invest and companies that need investment. But with everything oversaturated, it’s just a casino. Go long before everyone else does, short before everyone else does.

The wealthy also want to hedge and put a bunch of money somewhere safe. So they invest in real estate. So now a home is an investment, and that’s too oversaturated and it’s too expensive for regular people to own a home.

Tax the wealthy, they have too much money and it’s causing serious problems for everyone. People going on and on about the problems being impossible to solve and we need a revolution or whatever are just distracting everyone from the obvious problem that has an obvious solution. The wealthy have too much money, the government can tax the wealthy if we push them to do that.

Most of the stuff you list are actually liberal policies. You know liberals those evil enemies of the tankies?

Communism is about state control of the economy. Shit that failed every time it was tried.

The whole point of the communist propaganda is to make you hate liberals that want the same things you do, and to make you spout communist slogans that make you sound like a crazy person. If you just said “I want to tax the rich, bust up big corporations, and implement universal healthcare” most people will agree with that. But If you rant on like “seize the means of production late stage capitalism eat the rich stalin did notihng wrong, china is a utopia blah blah blah” everyone rightly considers you a crazy person and nothing happens.

Maybe just stick to talking about the policies you want and stop with the commie talk and maybe things might happen. But then you would be saying the same thing as liberals oh noes! That’s bad according to the influencers that are heavily promoted by corporate social media. Always gotta do what corporate social media influencers tell you! Liberal are baaaaaaaad. They just talk about raising taxes on the rich and improving healthcare, they might not have even read Marx! BAD LIBERALS!

Yeah so it’s a reverse boycott. After we buy a lot from this company everyone will understand why this company isn’t a viable business!

Meanwhile in the real world, investors see an uptick in usage. Sure it’s not making money yet, but they project more growth because it looks it may be a viable business.

The companies paying for subscriptions see that the employees are using the service a lot and keep paying for those subscriptions. It’s silly to assume that a company paying for a subscription for AI isn’t going to know the tokens were wasted. If they knew that, they’d fire the employee doing this because it’s maliciously wasting company resources. If no one is fired for wasting tokens, we can logically assume the company paying for the subscriptions think the tokens are being used for valid work purposes and continue paying for the subscriptions.

What would actually prove to a company that an AI subscription is worthless is using zero tokens. Why would they pay for a service their employees don’t use?

Methinks this is a person that is actually using AI and feeling guilty over it. So its… “yeah I’m just using to to waste tokens to fight the power!” That or a brainrotted accelerationist.

Just another bullshit cog in the bullshit economy.

Yes be cause the other herd that wants to retry communism after it’s failed miserably multiple times is a much better option.

Crazy idea, but maybe we just tax the wealthy? There’s always going to be idiots in charge of stuff no matter what the system is, but maybe we could just limit the power (and therefore mitigate the damage that can be done) of those with power.

The AI companies don’t actually care about your company wasting money. They are making money off of your activities. Your company is losing money. That might result in you or your co-workers getting laid off. Which given you’re wasting company resources, you should be. But I’m more concerned about your co-workers getting laid off because of what you’re doing.

You’re literally transferring your company’s money to AI companies because… why again? Some internet brainrot accelerationist mentality it seems.

Yeah, getting metrics on software development has always been a problem from the first time people were writing code in the employ of a business.

Businesses love metrics. Put them on spreadsheet makes some graphs, that’s what some people do as their job.

The problem is you can’t actually measure the productivity of someone that’s doing something that’s never been done before. Software development is always about doing things that haven’t been done before. If you want the same software, you just copy it, you don’t need a developer. You only need a developer to make the software do something it doesn’t currently do, which means having someone do something they’ve never done before.

You just can’t measure the productivity on that. But businesses want to have some numbers, so they chuck whatever numbers they have into a spreadsheet.

Sounds like something an Ixian would say.

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

You can, but it’s hard to pull off unless you’re the banker.

Stealing is wrong, but also… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup, it’s all about the economics. Solar + Lithium batteries is cheaper is cheaper than anything else. When Sodium batteries start getting cranked out it’ll be even cheaper.

Inside the tech industry, the company with the biggest payoff in this is NVIDIA. With another smaller payoff for AMD. That’s about it.

It’s like a gold rush for fool’s gold. The only ones making money are the guys selling shovels.

How many companies allow their employees to also be employed by their competitors?

Your idea of an AI being like an employee only if there’s an AI company that will agree to an exclusive contract or at the very least respect data ownership and respect privacy. Is there an AI company that’s like that?

The downtime isn’t the biggest issue, you can plan around that. The real problem is the random lag on some queries and volatile memory being lost (usually when there’s a context change).

They need to add an analogy in there…

“The problem is with the folio reference-count operations from a common buffered-read path”

“Of course! It’s just like putting too much air in a balloon!”

Companies are impressed by developers that only know how to build pretty dashboards by just installing every npm package under the sun, opening all of the ports on everything, and requiring a connection to the cloud to make their front-end work. There may even be someone working for the company that explains the problems, but those people get ignored.

AI is just making this mentality worse.
