For context, DRAM/Silicone situation stemming from the massive bulk orders for building data centers and training AI has led to hardware prices absolutely exploding. Valve released the Steam Machine with a hefty $1049 pricetag and thats not even big premium compared to buying all the parts yourself. The destruction of ownership has never been more apparent than now.
The ogligarchs found a way to make people pay to become stupider whilst simultaneously reducing our capabilities to be self-sufficient and improving their wages by making us be content with less.
Short breadown, AI reduces our capability of critical thinking. Instead of researcing a topic the kids just reach for CHATGPT today. This is being done while simultaneously making search engines more and more garbage, attempting to make AI the new search engine norm. This is bad for a myriad of reasons but I think its mainly because censorship and narrative control is easier to exploit with an LLM than a search engine.
Somehow they made us pay for this. Yet another "service" we do not own and are being set up to pay for recurringly.
The massive amount of hardware required for the expansion of AI also plummeted the hardware market for consumers. Also very effective way to ensure no one owns their own computer, since they cant afford it. This being done whilst corporations like Google, NVIDIA and NZXT has already tried to create "rental computers" really drives home the point that they dont want you to own it. Its of course great for them to not have any responsabilites for their products, warranties or reliabilities.
On top of all this we become stupider in the process, compliant and most effectively less "sought after" on the job market, making us cheaper for labour. Its a great circle. Truly the CEO mindset. Only the filthiest of trillionaires could find a way to profit of literally every step of the process.
Fuck AI

The destruction of ownership! That’s the right way to frame it

Lol what the fuck
if this was microslop owned, it would be 2499 for the exact same thing.
