The rich are ripping the copper out of the walls of society before it all comes crashing down. They burn out employees, throw them away and hire fresh ones. Who cares, they’re not planning of any of this lasting much longer.

Are we doing over-under betting for the mass rehiring that is sure to follow?

Wrong. The single biggest thing most of us can do to reduce harm to the environment is not have kids. Each human, no matter how responsible, can’t help but add to the problems. The mountain of diapers for each baby alone is obscene. Each baby you don’t have is a whole ass person that will never add to food or electricity or water demands at all.

GOP: “look, can we just skip to the part where we have slaves again?”

Not a real quote, and I’m not a fan of the implied minimizing of modern social problems.

More accurate would be the Heritage Foundation holding the axe and SCOTUS cowering in the cuck chair in the corner

“spouse husband”?

Ahhahahaha, no, just the opposite

Yep, that was a mistake, thanks for catching

Nobody strained any muscles thinking up that name

I’m picturing a guy sighing with his hands on his head, staring at most of a car with the front wheel stuck in the router. Like, he can figure this out, just give him a minute. Maybe he needs a walk to clear his head. The pieces are there.

Yeah but that particular lunacy is grandfathered in to society, so I avoid it in my rants

I mean. Have you stopped to consider why you can’t find a nature documentary to fit a “humans aren’t destroying the planet” narrative?

For reference, the “Hopeless Dipshit Percentage” in any population is about 25-33%.

About a quarter to a third of the population believes in witches, ghosts and ESP; that the earth revolves around the sun; that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11; that Obama was born in Kenya; and that evolution and climate change are hoaxes. A third of the US population can’t name a single right guaranteed by the constitution or even one branch of government. And a quarter of the population self-professes that they wouldn’t stop supporting Trump no matter what he did.

In that context, only 3% willing to pay any money for AI is an utter failure. The LLM bubble needs to burst yesterday, and the whole Internet needs to roll back to 2022.

The least believable part of this is a person like that just voluntarily hanging out in public around people.

Oh nooooo, however will I do the needful without Microsoft’s world famous blue ribbon customer support.

I’ve formatted and installed W11 on dozens of computers and never had it fail once. My gaming rig is an Optiplex from 2014, runs 11 just fine.

We had like a hundred years to mitigate this, and we didn’t. Had to run out of time at some point.

“Collapse is a process, not an event.” It’s very likely we’ll be extinct by the end of the century. There will be all manner of hell from now until then. Our population of over 8 billion is only possible because of a highly complex global web of systems. Complex systems are fragile. Once dominos start falling, people will start starving very quickly.
