    Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all. - John Maynard-Keynes

    Again, the AI was only ever meant to be a ruse; the real goal is to make computing too expensive so that individuals and orgs alike are forced to rent it from the cloud forever.

    They are taking it all away from us.

      The used market is flooded with PCs and laptops for individuals and orgs will stand pat with what they have rather than pay these exorbitant prices. 10-yo machines are perfectly serviceable for most needs, home and office.

        Can confirm, newest piece of my desktop (not including drives) is 12 years old, still playing everything I want to.

      Finally my tin foil hat opinion from last year is catching on. Why can’t I ever do that with lottery numbers

    Yeah and it was all Jensen and not the board of directors and shareholders to whom he, as the CEO of an publicly traded company, was beholden.

    The problem is all gone guys, we did it.

    Wait, Jensen Huang is at fault? For the whole AI bubble? Dang, I heard that guy was an absolute fuck machine…

      After Medicare for All passes and Bibi is brought before the ICC.

        Why wait for that?

        We don’t have enough control over the ICC or Bibi, but Jensen is here, we could do him today

          Why execute Huang? He’s just good at playing the game. Executing the player doesn’t change the rules.

          And starting the executions with chip manufacturers and not finance or private healthcare screams of tech enthusiast entitlement.

            Are you familiar with reconstruction after the Civil War, how that went, and why it didn’t stick?

            Also, I want to do the Healthcare CEOs too, my desire to do the tech. Bros doesn’t take anything away from my desire to do the social murderers in the Healthcare Industry…

              The underlying question was: Why start here? Because it just comes off as “muh vidya too 'spensive now”, rather than anything principled.

                The financial fuckery they have engaged in affects the entire world economy, it has nothing to do with me wanting a video card, I have no use for a GPU

                I also never Said Jensen should be first, the reason I mentioned him is because we’re in the comments of an article about him. Are you familiar with the concept of context?

            These people would sit down with a bombed out Palestinian orphan and explain their vast suffering over not being able to buy a high-end GPU.

              I don’t even want a GPU you idiot

              The actions of that man and that company effect the entire global economy. You’ll see what I mean in the near future.

              Just because things are worse elsewhere in the world does not mean that we shouldn’t try to make them better here. That’s incredibly stupid logic.

              Part of the reason I want all the tech executed is because of their complicity with the war crimes this country and Israel have engaged in

    It’s the circle of investing. And it funds us all. Through despair and hope Through faith and lack oversight Till we find our place, With the books unwinding In the circle The circle of investing.
