  • And if AI is going to be the last straw, how long can we put it off for? Could it pop next year or can we still hold it off for another decade with even more ludicrous number-fuckery? I think that’s where the trick is going to be.

    The thing that boggles my mind in all of this is the possibility that Trump installs some absolute toady tool bag in at the Fed and then just has the federal reserve bail out all of the bad investments. It’d mean probably hyperinflation, but who cares about normal shmucks trying to live a life? It’s much more important to pay the genius, scammy billionaires so they can keep their mega yachts fully gassed and assed.


  • I remember the news reporting about record breaking amounts of mortgage defaults in like 2007 as well. The signs were all there, but people were too oblivious or high on their own supply of farts to see them.

    Anytime people are like “we couldn’t see this coming” I never understand why they are allowed to pass that obvious lie off in public.

    The AI bubble signs are in plain view everywhere you look right now. If (or much more likely when) it bursts everyone will be talking about how they couldn’t possibly see it coming again.

    If people say they couldn’t see this shit coming, maybe their myopic asses shouldn’t be in charge of anything important ever again.















  • Completing botw became more of a chore than anything else. I couldn’t get all the way through tears of the kingdom. The chores in that one just compounded. I managed to somehow light up the entire underworld and yet my gear was too fucking terrible to face the end bosses.

    Botw was very cool at times, but it had a few things that made it utterly frustrating to play. The weapons breaking and having to watch Link go “uhh eeefff eeeff ooof” on the side of a cliff for hours was just painful and purposeless.

    To your point, it seems like no game can manage to have an expansive, explorable world that’s actually rewarding to explore. Maybe there is an exception out there but I haven’t encountered it.




  • You’re not wrong that AI makes human style mistakes, but a human can learn, or at least generally doesn’t have to be taught the same fucking lesson at least once a week for a year (or gets fired well before then).

    This is the point nobody seems to get. Especially people that haven’t worked with the technology.

    It just does not have the ability to learn in any meaningful way. A human can learn a new technique and move to master simple new techniques in a couple of hours. AI just keeps falling back on its training data no matter how many times you tell it to stop. It has no other option. It would need to be re-trained with better material in order to consistently do what you want it to do, but nobody is really re-training these things…they’re using the “foundational” models and at most “fine-tuning” them…and fine-tuning only provides a quickly punctured facade…it eventually falls back to the bulk of its learning material.
