To crush my enemies. See them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

I’m thankfully OoL enough but I guarantee there are some AI backed crypto out there which is so deliciously awesome given the double down on smoke and mirrors.

Seriously the stock market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

People are idiots.

Is there a consensus there’s an AI bubble? Sure?

Can anyone predict what will happen? LOfuckingL

Very true but if you look at the top 10 sites online I bet they’re all propping up their traffic metrics with bots which means to some extent it becomes a moot point. Anecdotally in the real world I see the use of AI very prevalent which lends to the fact that it is widespread and universally adopted despite what the bubble here says.

And does that AI bot traffic not hit all the other sites too? Not trying to be a dick. Occams razer. Sometimes it’s not a conspiracy and things really are as they seem.

It’s not hacking. Most languages have the ability to send mail from any mail address. Poweshell example -

I am happy you are in an environment where being black and gay is cool as fuck. That is not the norm and I’d argue lots of statistics back that up.

Regardless, back in the topic I think we both agree just you’re taking a pessimistic approach while I’m trying to be optimistic.

So for the Trump thing. He’s rich and has been for decades. He wasn’t always rich. Sometimes we need reminders of where we came from. That’s exceedingly hard when everyone around you is highly likely to echo beliefs that may not resonate with how he was raised

For the LGBT thing… I’m speaking from experience, the black experience is not the white one. Gay is very much not cool even if they say it is.

If he does it’s rinse and repeat. When it comes to individuals we can never give up on them.

Amen.

Bingo. This is literally playing life on insane difficulty. Anything that can help is a boon.

People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he’s learning. People are allowed to change.

Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.

I’m horrible for laughing to myself but my response was “Jesus don’t men just punch their girlfriends in the gut anymore?”

Clippy goes in dry.

First tron is boring as balls with good visuals.

Legacy was entertaining while still boring as balls but that soundtrack may well be the best soundtrack ever made. Plus it has the most banging pinball machine release ever.

I hear you need help with how to fuck yourself.

Netscape lowered teen pregnancy rates

Amen. I get the sentiment but Jesus Christ everything is politics when you boil it down. Yes it’s draining to focus on it 24/7 but it’s equally destructive to bury your head in the sand.

The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.
