Positive feedback loops are how these cities got into the state they are now.

Drug problem... give them free drugs.

Illegal immigrant problem... make us a sanctuary city.

Homeless problem... make camping on city streets legal.

Felony stats up... make theft under $950 a misdemeanor.

People are depressed... give them anti-depressants.

People are in pain... give them stronger pain pills. --> loop back to the first issue

> What about the malware?

Pro-tip: don't download and run self playing .exe movies.

Technically you just described the internet.

Now do Sam Bankman-fried.

People that are working are doing more work.
The barrier to entry has increased. Ie the productive class is taking on enough work that the lowest end just isn't worth bringing on.

AI is going to reduce our reliance on human workers. As a result the productivity gains from AI will:

a) Be passed onto the workers.
b) Be further leveraged by the ultra wealthy ownership class.

Is anyone really that naive as to what will happen?

It takes time to build a plant. They started in 2022. It's expected to complete in 2025.

> 15 is much hotter than 12 when in use

They should be selling like literal hot-cakes in Canada then.

Joke all you want but disposable income is the biggest indicator of the economy. And there is nothing more disposable than hookers. (Services, not the hookers themselves).
When the economy is booming so are the hookers. When the hookers start complaining about not enough work... get ready for a downturn.

Sex workers complain sales are down as inflation continues to pound the economy

#5 - Canada was the world's fourth-largest primary aluminum producer following China (1), India (2), and Russia (3) as of 2020. (NRC)

#6 - By utilizing hydroelectricity and other technologies, Canadian aluminum producers have one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world compared to other large producers, with a world-leading average of 2 tons of CO2 equivalent per megatonne of production. (NRC, AAC)

#7 - As of 2020, Canadian aluminum miners had 10 active smelters: one in Kitimat, BC, and the other nine in Quebec. (NRC)

I think I found the issue. If Quebec started doing actual work their transfer payments would get cut back and they can't have that. They'd rather not work.

Why stop there. Just go the extra step and pay them to do your job to.

Then repeat this several times and simply manage them. We'll call it a "business".

But later they say 2024:

Considering the RTX 50 series will employ the new process node (Via Hardware Times), you may expect some serious performance boost. From what we know, the upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are expected to release in 2024.
