AI Slop Button

We already did. The 'human and AI' section is dbzer0, the human only contents and posts section is the rest of the fediverse, and the mainly-AI section is the entire publicly traded corpo / normie internet, which is the same thing as the 'dead internet' but hasn't quite realized it yet.

Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult.

Ackshuuully there's no such thing as overpopulation or overconsumption or carrying capacity overshoot. Those are myths made up by ecofascists, a very real and very scary right-wing political movement. The obvious true solution is for the whole world to come together and agree to follow my preferred system of government (or absence thereof) and then there will be plenty of resources to go around for everybody and billions of humans can live sustainably ever after.

And if you say that's unrealistic and won't happen, it must be because you are a literal exterminist Nazi who hates life and wants to do eugenics by genociding everybody- especially the brown ones and the poor ones- even though you didn't say that- but come on, we all know you were thinking it.

So be ashamed of yourself, you Nazi, and go away now so I can win this argument by default- before I'm forced to post the well supported counterargument which I totally have.

Would you rather: date someone who you like but who doesn't initially like you back, or date someone who likes you whom you don't initially like back?

Well, the purpose of a first date is to find out if you both "initially like" each other, right? If so, there will be a second date; if not- not. So this sounds like a first-and-last date scenario, either way.

That means it's an easy choice. I have to go with #1- no awkward burden of trying to get rid of her in a diplomatic way. No one is losing any sleep over why that weird boring guy they dated one time and didn't like, never called back .

In reality though- dating isn't a thing I do or would start doing. So not really qualified to advise on it.

AI Hyperscalers have pre-ordered almost all of 2027's global RAM supply, increasing prices by 500%, and leaving almost none for smartphone & PC manufacturers.

The issue is even if it gets to where they are giving those surplus AI servers away for free there is no way in physics they will ever be 'dirt cheap' to power, or to keep cool, and that limits their reusability by normal working-class humans.

Tech investor David Friedberg says it's wrong to assume Zohran Mamdani's city-run grocery stores will 'radically fail'

He frames them not failing as a bad thing, by the way. Otherwise he'd get his Republican card confiscated and Business Insider wouldn't platform him. "The dirty lazy poors will get too used to all that free stuff and get uppity and demand more, which will eventually cut into the ability of the investor class- you and me, the only worthy people who matter- to maximize our earnings."

Socks, 12c. Egypt

Reply in thread

I imagine when you're knitting socks by hand- (or with whatever medieval sock loom may have been available?) it's going to take you almost as long to just make a plain white one. But after the first about two of those you get really bored. Even more so if you were making a full floor size rug. So maybe the motivation for the 'unnecessary design' on everything back then was less about the customer's vanity than the artisan's sanity.

You reached the end
